Chapter 1079 - Two missions at the same time (4) (2/2)

Now it was his turn to shrug. ”Whatever it is, it's important enough to be locked in here.”

”Maybe these are the reasons why Morgan family so quickly gained favor with Marcus.”, Sarah guessed.

They all discussed more than once how it's unusual that Morgan family switched their loyalty from Oscar (and Jeff) to Marcus only recently, but very quickly Mr. Morgan became very close to Marcus, to obvious displeasure of people who are supporting Marcus for many years already.

Sarah and Aiden were happy with the loot. They emptied… everything.

Jeff's men took with them all the things from the bunker and valuables from the vault like gold and diamonds while Sarah and Aiden decided to take with them documents and hard drives. They want to start checking them as soon as they get back to Los Angeles, and if all goes according to the plan, they will be there in time for breakfast tomorrow.

Before leaving, they marked several spots with a spray paint by making the Chaos symbol: a circle with eight arrows coming out of it.

With rumors already in place how the Chaos army was offended by Morgans, this will be perfect.

They drove out with vans leisurely like they didn't commit a grand robbery.

All the security guys working for Mr. Morgan will wake up in about two hours, at which time Eve will resume regular security footage. And by then, Sarah and Aiden (and their loot) will be long gone.

After parting ways with Jeff's people, Aiden drove the car toward the city.

”We are not going to the airport?”, Sarah asked when he parked on a parking lot downtown Dallas.

”We told Haru and Nala that we will be back by three o'clock and considering the time needed to reach San Antonio, we have more than two hours... for us.”, Aiden explained while offering his hand to Sarah.

Sarah didn't ask any more questions. She can see that he planned something. She placed her hand in his and stepped out of the car.

They reached the rooftop restaurant of some sort, but it was more like a lounging area under the gazebo canopy overlooking nightlights of downtown Dallas. About a dozen tables around the lounging area were empty. The whole place was just for the two of them it reminded Sarah of Paris, when Aiden booked the whole boat-restaurant for them.

Aiden ordered food in advance, because freshly made dishes were on the table, waiting for them when they took their seats.

Aiden observed Sarah's smile which confirmed that she likes it.

They enjoyed their meal in a pleasant silence while exchanging loving gazes.

For dessert, Sarah curled up next to Aiden on the sofa and he fed her a yummy vanilla cake with fresh strawberries.

Once they finished with their meal, bright lights went off and the small fairy lights hanging above them provided a romantic atmosphere.

Aiden held Sarah's hand in his and said what is on his mind: ”I must admit that since I woke up I was overwhelmed by guilt that I left you by yourself for so long, and then I scrambled to catch up and make myself useful. With all that, I forgot what is important… to make you happy.”

Sarah looked at him and she felt guilty as well. ”I am happy. I am sorry that I am so busy that I don't show you how happy I am.”

”Don't blame yourself. If I'm able to help you more you would not be so busy.”

”You woke up just over a month ago. You are doing great.”, she comforted him.

Aiden caressed her cheek. ”Not good enough. There are still so many things I need to make up to you.”

Sarah was happy that he wants to help, but his health comes first. ”Don't push yourself. One thing at a time. OK?”

”OK…”, his devilish smile was on while curtains fell down, providing a complete privacy under the gazebo canopy enclosure lit up by the fairy lights from above.

”One… thing… at a time…”, he said between kisses while pushing her down on the sofa.
