Chapter 1082 - Two missions at the same time (7) (1/2)

Sarah and Aiden entered the hotel suite and paused at the sight of Haru and Nala sleeping on the sofa. Nala was curled up in Haru's lap and they were holding each other while her head rested on his shoulder.

It was a sweet scene, but… why is Haru's top exposed?

Sarah glanced on the side and her brows furrowed when she saw the bloodied shirt.

She observed that the blood is on the left sleeve and that there is a bandage on Haru's arm.

Sarah's movements while she inspected the shirt, alerted Haru.

”I'm OK. It's just a scratch…”, he said drowsily.

Nala stirred as well. Seeing that she is in Haru's lap and that Sarah and Aiden are present, her eyes sprang open and she swiftly scrambled away from Haru.

”How did the mission go?”, Aiden asked.

”Before you start talking… Why are you naked?”, Sarah asked Haru.

Haru awkwardly dashed into the bedroom to get a t-shirt.

Haru and Nala told them (almost) everything. They skipped the hot part of kissing and grinding in the club.

Sarah and Aiden showed concern about the gun incident. They assumed that Melodie's bodyguards will have guns, but there is a security at the entry into the nightclub where weapons need to be removed. And even if they can sneak a gun inside, they will not shoot randomly in a crowded place.

They didn't predict a random group to approach them.

Well, they can't scold Nala and Haru for it. The two of them did great. The only thing they can do is give few advices…

”Learn from this, and remember that even with the most detailed plan, something unexpected can happen.”, Sarah said.

They agreed to freshen up and change before anything else.

Sarah and Nala went first.

Aiden had a different idea. He wanted to join Sarah, but Sarah told him to wait with Haru in the living area. She knows that if Aiden goes with her it will take much longer because they will do much more than a quick shower and a change of clothes. She thought that his pout is adorable.

…

Nala went to shower first.

Sarah used that time to check reports from Noah on the status for tonight. Noah is very reliable, and he already has seven helpers in the army and several 'civilians' who are helping with property management.

Sarah took a mental note to discuss with Aiden how are they going to handle further expansion of their forces. They need more trustworthy people, and she does not want to put additional work on existing generals. Seeing how Haru and Nala are not finding any time to go on a date is telling her that their schedules are packed.

Sarah remembered their newest addition of nineteen newcomers at the Cliffside villa, kids from Sierra Leone. They are great candidates to become part of the Chaos army, but she needs to decide what their roles will be. She thought that it would be great if she gets someone to take over the 'civilian' tasks from Noah, so that he can focus on the army.

Suddenly, the idea of having a personal assistant sounded good.

…

Sarah got out of the shower in a bathrobe and found that Nala is sitting on the bed. She is dressed up, so shouldn't she go out and join the guys? Sarah guessed that something is on her mind.

”How are you doing?”, Sarah asked when she took a seat next to Nala.

She smiled shyly. ”Haru said that he loves me.”

Sarah thought how Nala is super-cute. She was worried that Nala is hurt, or that she has some other problems, and here she is: dazed because Haru told her that he loves her.
