Chapter 1109 - Back from Austin, heading to Fairfield (1/2)
~ Los Angeles ~
Monday, March 17
Sarah and Aiden returned early morning from Austin with their eight companions: Jesse, Oni, Ron, Zula, Allen, Daniel, Tejan and Julius.
After handling their matters in the fight clubs in three teams on Sunday evening, Sarah and Aiden were pleased with everyone's performance.
Sarah and Aiden went to the Black & White fight club. She regretted that she didn't get to meet Blackstain (again). She wondered if it's possible that he is avoiding her on purpose, especially when Aiden said how Blackstain is usually every evening in one of three fight clubs. They found eleven new recruits for the army of Chaos in the Black & White club.
Allen, Daniel, Tejan and Julius got few rounds each in the arena and won all of their fights.
...
Ron and Zula were the second team and went to the White Valley fight club where they found four new recruits. One young man made inappropriate remark toward Zula, not knowing who they are. Ron challenged the man to the fight and when the man saw that he is facing Surge who in that club has 32 wins and 0 losses, man's fighting spirit diminished. However, that didn't stop Ron from teaching him a lesson.
”No one gets to mistreat my girlfriend!”, Ron exclaimed while punching the daylight out of the man.
Zula watched all this from the VIP room with the help of the zoom from Eve-vision and smiled. He called her his girlfriend. And he defended her honor. Those butterflies in her stomach must be what it feels like to have a boyfriend who will protect you.
...
Jesse and Oni went to the Black Hole nightclub as the third team, and they found seven new recruits. Their visit there was without any incidents. Oni got her turn in the arena and earned herself 15 consecutive victories before joining Jesse in the VIP room.
”How was it?”, she beamed while expecting a praise.
”Not bad.”, he responded aloofly.
Oni made a face and repeated silently that one of these days she will make Jesse to stop seeing her like a child!
...
On their way back to Los Angeles, they discussed events from their weekend in Austin.
The four boys from Sierra Leone were impressed with everything they saw, and they promised to work extra-hard so that they can become regulars for missions.
”Spying, fighting, kidnaping… you name it and we will do it!”, Daniel announced enthusiastically.
Sarah and Aiden exchanged confused looks at the word 'kidnapping'. Do they look like bandits?
”We will be fast, efficient, reliable… whatever you need!”, Julius added.
”We need you to focus on your education first!”, Sarah reminded them.
...
As soon as they returned to the Cliffside villa on Monday morning, other kids surrounded them and listened to the stories about their adventures over the weekend. The four boys from Sierra Leone enthusiastically explained everything in great detail.
Sarah and Aiden went to meet with kids who requested to talk in private.
