Is this destiny?

While Sarah's newly-acquired men were busy with turning off the cellphones and collecting the cash from wallets, Sarah sat at the edge of the stage and swayed her legs back and forth playfully. She turned off the red color of her eyes, and they were back to dark brown (her original disguise).

Sarah observed guests present. Most of them were seated silently in their chairs, observing their surroundings and waiting to see what will happen next. Most of them were silent… several of the guests got the truth serum when Sarah took the stage, and they were not quiet about their grievances while swarming around their host.

"Marcus, what is the meaning of this?"

"You set us up?"

"I lost my bodyguard!"

"What kind of a party is this?"

"You call yourself a leader?"

"You invited us to a party to enjoy ourselves, and we ended up getting robbed! What are you going to do about it?!"

"What makes you think that you are worthy to be the Master of the White…"

"SHUT UP!", Marcus screamed and turned to Jeff and Aiden. "IT'S YOU! YOU DID THIS!"

Jeff and Aiden exchanged glances and then looked mockingly at their Uncle who was walking toward them angrily.

"Careful old man…", Sarah's icy voice came from behind Marcus and she pulled him back by his collar. "It's dangerous for a man at your age to get so worked up."

Marcus stumbled backward and turned to glare at Sarah.

Sarah shook her index finger in front of his nose. "Look at your son and see what happens to someone who wants to defy me."

"Why are you working for Jeffrey? I will pay you more!", Marcus declared. He is angry at Sarah for ruining his party but if he can get her to obey him, this might all be worth it.

"I am not working FOR Jeffrey.", Sarah clarified. "I am working WITH him. It's a mutually beneficial relationship and my loyalty is not for sale. Jeffrey and I share a connection you can't comprehend. We are almost like a family… loving siblings. But I don't think that you know what that means."

Sarah turned to the people present. "By now, all of you should understand that the Chaos organization is allied with the main White family and they have our support. Think about it on your way home. It is not too late to change your mind and put your priorities where it counts. The inauguration is in one week and I believe that most of you present here are invited. We will be watching."

Jeff looked at Sarah with admiration. She used this event to announce to Marcus' supporters that the new Master of the White family (aka Jeffrey White) has a powerful ally. He is confident that everyone here is familiar with Chaos organization and the quakes they are causing. There is a big probability that many of these people will abandon Marcus because of that.

Jeff was thinking that he needs to treat Sarah somehow… He heard her saying that she likes this property! Once Marcus is out of the picture, he will make sure that Sarah gets it.

Sarah did a slight movement with her hand, and all the guests other than Jeff and Aiden plopped on the ground without moving. Lukas, who was already on the ground, stopped rolling in pain.

The bodyguards who were counting money glanced around fearfully and then went back to counting. They shared a silent understanding that they choose the right side on time.

Sarah removed her mask, turned to Aiden, Jeff and JoAnna and flashed a smile. "How was that?"

Jeff and JoAnna clapped, and Aiden was next to Sarah within a second.

"You are amazing!" Aiden pulled her in his embrace.

Sarah looked down. "I think you are stepping on your Uncle's hand."

"I don't hear him complaining.", Aiden said with a straight face.

Sarah stifled a laugh and relaxed in Aiden's arms.

"This is the perfect space to have bedrooms for the kids."

Aiden tightened his hug. "Whatever you want. Write it down and we will get Cash to work on it."

"Mmm", Sarah let out a hum of approval. "I'm sorry that we need to wait few weeks before we can take this property…"

"Don't worry, it will be yours.", Jeff told Sarah.

They divided the money for hostesses and each of them got $250.

"Take care, and don't accept these shady jobs in the future! You can't count on someone to save you every time!", Sarah warned them.

Eric and another bodyguard drove the bus full of hostesses to downtown Dallas while Sarah, Aiden, Jeff and JoAnna followed behind with their other 20 new bodyguards in six cars.

They dropped off the hostesses and abandoned the bus on a parking lot next to a mall.

Before they left, Gia wanted to join them. She is not sure who Aiden and Jeff are, or what is Chaos, but she saw them as four young people who are capable of saving fifty women and making more than a hundred men tremble in fear. She wished to be a part of it.

Sarah rejected her request. "Here…", she gave Gia a cell phone number. "When you finish your college, if you are still interested, give me a call and we will talk."

Sarah, Aiden, Jeff and JoAnna agreed that they should leave the Dallas area as soon as possible. When Marcus and his goons wake up, they will be angry, and they will look for answers. The good thing is that no one knows real identities of the two hot Russian bodyguards. If they find out that it's Sarah and JoAnna, they will know who is behind Chaos, and the time is still not right to expose that information.

They changed their plans about staying at the Hilton for the night, so they only stopped by to get their things from two suites, before heading toward Austin.

About one-and-a-half-hour drive after leaving Dallas city limits, they stopped for a bio-break and to get coffee for everyone. At the nearby junkyard they dumped tablecloth-sacks with valuables, cellphones and wallets which they took from the people at the Marcus' party.

Eric looked at that mini-fortune being left behind with complex expression. Each of those wristwatches is worth hundreds of dollars! And there are rings, and bracelets as well…

Sarah patted his shoulder. "We have no need for their things. I took all that only to piss them off."

"They are not dead, are they?", Eric had a hunch, but he wanted to confirm.

"No.", Sarah checked the time. "They will wake up in about one hour or so…"

It took them just under three hours' drive to reach one of the White family properties on the outskirts of Austin.

The arrangements were made by the staff in advance. Jeff called them from the car. Each of the twenty-two newcomers had a meal, a shower, changed into fresh clothes and headed to bed for the night. Sarah informed them to rest because tomorrow they will have a busy day.

Sarah and JoAnna told Jeff and Aiden over a middle-of-the-night meal about the deals they made with Tiffany and Melodie.

"We gave them a number they can call when they get the information, and we will arrange for them to be picked up and kept in the safehouse until we verify the information…", JoAnna explained. She also told them about three additional women that Melodie mentioned, that they should look into. There is a no better spy than someone who is already within the enemy lines and bitterly wants a way out.

"Eric is employed as a personal bodyguard for more than ten years in the Morgan household. He volunteered to share information he has about his previous master and Marcus…", Sarah told them about Eric.

Jeff and Aiden are impressed. Their ladies did amazing! With other twenty one bodyguard willing to work for them, who knows what all they will find out?

Jeff shared his idea: "I will call Mason to come here tomorrow and talk with them. We can let him handle the information gathering."

Mason is in charge of the intelligence related to the White family. He is the best person to talk with these people.

JoAnna approved. They are all busy and can't spend much time talking with twenty-two men and discerning truth from deceit while figuring out what all those people know that might be useful. "In order not to waste time, we will let Mason and his men use the truth serum…"

"Tomorrow, before we leave for Los Angeles, we will test their fighting skills.", Aiden added.

"Will you take them as members of Chaos?", JoAnna asked Sarah.

Sarah was not confident. "Not yet. We will send them into a secondary location for some time. Each of our members is loyal for reasons beyond money. Until we have the same confidence in these guys, they will not mix with our existing forces…"
