Chapter 314 - Team of six (3) (1/2)

Sarah was shocked for a moment. ”What did you say?”, her voice was weak.

Mimi grinned, happy to see that Sarah is shaken. ”I said that Philip and Ed took care of you. Does that strike a nerve?” Mimi stood up and turned to Aiden. ”After what they did to her, she is not pure... you should ditch her and stay with me!”

”Not pure? What do you mean?” Aiden frowned at Mimi.

”Yes, those drugs are powerful aphrodisiacs... you don't really believe that nothing happened between them after she got that into her system? She is dirty. Dozens of them waited for her in that warehouse...” Aiden lost it and punched her in the face. Mimi passed out.

Sarah's face was somber. She looked at Mimi and Meghan on the ground and tried to make sense of all this. It was clear that Mimi knew what happened with Philip, and with Ed. But it seems that Mimi does not know the whole story, that Sarah escaped after being drugged. What is that thing that dozens of them waited for her!?? Sarah shivered.

Aiden embraced her and rubbed her back gently.

Sarah's arms were limp on her side, as if she lost all her energy. She leaned her head on his chest and inhaled his scent. Her mind was a mess, and she was trying to make sense of everything.

”What do you want to do with them?”, Aiden's voice brought her back to reality.

Sarah pulled her phone and called Stella. Stella picked up, as usual. Sarah wondered if Stella ever sleeps. Sarah explained that she got two young ladies who are involved in drugging her and asked her mom if she can help take care of them.

”Location?” Stella went straight to the point.

Sarah gave her the information. There was about half a minute of silence.

”Five minutes.” Stella hanged up.

About five minute later, two black cars parked close to them. Two men came out of each car, one of them stopped in front of Sarah and nodded. Men picked up Mimi and Meghan and carried them into the cars. They drove away without a word.

Aiden embraced Sarah from behind as they watched two cars drive away.

”This is a convenient service.” Aiden commented.

”Yeah... makes me more and more curious to find out what exactly is my mom doing when she goes on those business trips.”

Aiden was serious. ”Sometimes is better not to know.”

”I know that she has her reasons for not talking about it... but that does not mean that I'm not curious.” Sarah could not help but wonder where do those men come from? Why are they listening to her mother? Having some special security around the house is expected, but they showed up in Los Angeles and in Fairfield within minutes. How come her mom can command some secret security which has men in so many different locations? Does she have people stationed in the areas where her daughters live? Sarah told herself many times not to pry into Stella's business. But this was too tempting for her, she wants to know what is going on and who exactly is her mother. Should she ask her directly when she sees her? Or should she use her skills to find out more?

Aiden's voice brought her out of her thoughts. ”What do you want to do now? Go home?”

Sarah nodded. ”Yes... I must admit that what Mimi said shook me up. I have a feeling that we missed some important information when we searched for Philip's and Ed's companions.”

Aiden saw that Sarah was thinking something. Hearing her explanation, it made sense... It would be unusual not to be shaken up.

…

Friday, around noon, JoAnna called Sarah to let he know that she got accepted for residenship in LA Medical Center.

”Great! Congratulations!”, Sarah was happy for her sister.

”Thank you.”

”I guess that brother-in-law is happy. It's official that you are staying in LA.”
