Chapter 786 - Dispatch Part 1 (1/2)
Demi put everything she made into the plastic container, organized it neatly, and put it in the freezer. She cleaned up the kitchen, washed her hands, and proceeded to the bedroom. She removed her clothes and crawled to the bed and hugged Christian's cold pillow. She stared at the bedside table at Christina's photo smiling at her and showing his abdomen.
She sat up and reached for the tablet. She called Cyra and she answered after a few rings.
”What's the update?” Demi asked.
”We already dispatched them. At this moment, they are on their way to the location.” Cyra said. ”Why didn't you come to see Christian one last time?”
”Well, I don't want to hold him for long. I might not let him go.” Demi said.
”Come to the facility when you get some sleep.”
”I will.”
Demi hung up, slipped off from the bed, and went to the walk-in closet to put Christian's shirt on. She went back to bed with the tablet. Then, she checked Christian's location. Christian promised her that he'll be safe and to come back to her.
At ten in the morning, Kale picked up the maki and dumplings that she made. Then, she drove her motorbike to the facility. She greeted them. Natalia gave her a hot chocolate as they watched the team's location.
”My man is there too,” Natalia said. Demi looked at her.
”You made it with Ashton, finally?” Demi asked.
”What do you mean, finally?”
”The two of you are teasing each other and daring each other for years. Now, it seems like the two of you finally 'get it on.' I was surprised that it takes a while.” Demi commented. Natalia creased her brows.
”Well, we haven't had actual s.e.x so I'm waiting for him to come back,” Natalia said.
”Where's Bea?” Demi asked.
”She's fixing a few things,” Natalia replied. The door beeps and opens as Cyra and Butler Samson enter.
She nodded at the two as she sipped on her hot chocolate. She exhaled slowly as she watched the dots of Christian's team moving away from the Philippines to India. Their mission is something that only the four Empires needed. To retrieve the data that has been stolen by Jacob Ike. Something or someone in the Four Empires has been stealing data. That also includes the design of the suits. After Jaxon and Rhys find out that they are working with few gangs around the world, it'll be something new. The list of gangs that they took from the Eagle Empire decades ago faded.
It seemed like they just went off for hiding to multiply and to become an empire on their own. They all knew that this is a trap. They all knew that it's something that the Eagle Empire is playing and Demi is nervous that she might not have Christian back. She���s nervous that they might not have them all back. It won't be her alone who would mourn for their deaths. But there's also Bea, now there's Natalia and each of their family, waiting for them.
”How long are we going to process everything?” Demi asked.
”Too long. It's a night mission.” Asher said.

Dmitri stayed in Zachary's invention room for a night. They processed everything and checked every detail that is needed. Zendaya leaned on the counter table and watched as Luke and Logan laughed at the faces that they made.
”Next step, old man!” Luke announced. Dmitri laughed with them but it didn't help because his son-in-law is on a very big mission.
”You get everything, kiddo?” Zach asked Zendy.
”Yeah. But,” She looked at Zach. ”Would they make it?”
”Yeah,” Zach said confidently.
”I know that we had planned this thoroughly but I'm just worried about Demi, Bea, and our agent's family.” Zendaya exhaled. ”A one-night mission.” Zendaya took the tablet. ”We need to make sure that it goes along with the plan.”
”Zendy, don't be nervous,” Dmitri said to calm her.
”EPUA is not with us at this moment,” Zendaya announced. ”There's something big that they are dealing with. They are stronger than the Knight Empire or the Rose Empire. What I need is for them to get back to us alive. And I'm not nervous. I'm just worried.”
”Whatever you say,” Dmitri chuckled.
Zendaya exhaled and went to the sofa as her fingers drummed on her lap. She bit her lip and smirked. This is going to happen and she knew it. Just right at the time that they dispatch them.
