Is this destiny?

Later that afternoon, Sarah and Aiden returned with their new helicopter.

Just as Sarah predicted, Sophia was impressed how quiet it is.

After a short talk next to the helipad, Sophia excused herself. "I'm not as flexible as you are. I have things that need to be done during work hours. And without Leah, everything takes three times longer to finish."

Sarah was surprised to hear that Leah is not helping Sophia. "I thought that she will stay as your assistant for two more weeks."

"Yeah. Me too, but she asked for a vacation. I can't say 'no' to that. It will be easier when I find new assistant." Sophia waved and went back into the house. She is sorry that Leah decided to quit in order to be close to Isabella, but it's her choice. Sophia can only support her friend and hope it all works out well.

"How long will it take for you to teach me how to fly it?", Sarah asked Aiden when Sophia was out of sight.

"I can show you everything in fifteen minutes, probably less. You are a fast learner. After that it's on you to practice for a smooth ride."

Sarah likes what she heard. "When do we start?"

Aiden can see how excited she is. "No better time than now." 

…

About one hour later, Sarah landed the helicopter on the helipad.

"How was that?", Sarah asked him excitedly when she removed the headset.

"Just like you… perfect.", he responded with a big smile.

She knows that she still needs to practice to make it smooth how he does it, but she will take the compliment. "Keep on praising me like that and I might cook dinner tonight."

Aiden's eyes flashed in surprise. "Did I say only perfect? It was amazing! The way you turned it around on your second time, it was flawless… You are stepping on those pedals just right… The moment we were up in the air I knew that you are a natural…"

Sarah laughed. He will do anything to make her cook. Why is he acting like they don't have a hired cook in the house?

Aiden enjoys seeing Sarah laugh, he always did. Knowing that he can make her happy, brings him joy.

He sent a text to Eve, and helicopter started descending slowly together with the helipad. One minute later, helicopter was in their underground airport.

They agreed to make a remote control for the helipad so that it can open and close at the push of a button. With that, they don't risk exposing Eve if someone is taking a ride with them.

Two staff members welcomed them inside, and Aiden told them to make sure that the fuel tank is always full and that they will be in charge of maintenance. Those two staff members already have background working at the airport as mechanics, so they know how to take care of helicopters and airplanes.

Aiden gave them one of the manuals that Jarred's people gave him. "Read this and familiarize yourself with the aircraft."

Sarah watched Aiden interact with the staff and she can only admire him. When he hired people, he already had in mind that some of them should have experience as mechanics for the aircrafts. Impressive. He thinks of everything.

…

That evening, Sarah was in a good mood.

The highlight of the day is their new toy. And she got to ride the helicopter!

"Are we set for 28th?", Aiden asked Sarah.

They are about to put their plan in motion against people who targeted them during wedding, and Sarah wants to start with Aaron. He will be in Chicago for fashion week, working as a model. Sarah and Aiden have his schedule because they hacked into his phone and laptop.

Sarah confirmed. "Ellie will make sure we get access to the backstage during rehearsals so that we can approach Aaron."

Sarah promised Ellie that they will give her a ride with a private jet in exchange for access to the backstage during rehearsals for one of the fashion week events. Sarah knows that Ellie would find a way for them to get in the back, but she felt guilty just to ask for a favor without somehow repaying it.

EY fashion company has their own jet, but Sarah told Ellie that they can use bigger one from White corp. and they can give a ride to her designers from Los Angeles as well as additional ones from Seattle. There is space for everyone. Ellie agreed after some light persuasion with a condition that Sarah and Aiden stay at her Chicago house overnight.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Aiden is not comfortable with what Sarah has in mind. But after their talk, he said that he will let her make the call related to this. Overall, her plan makes sense.

Sarah is confident that is the right thing to do. She knows that Aiden would rather beat Aaron up, but she has something else on her mind for him. "That evening, Aaron had a change of heart and urged me to turn back. It will not be fair if I don't give him a choice. His family business is destroyed. I want to make him an offer to keep his modeling career in exchange for his help."

Aiden didn't get a chance to respond. Sarah got a call. She answered and put it on speaker.

"Hey, little girl! Do you like it?", Jarred is asking about the helicopter.

"It's amazing. Thank you!"

Jarred laughed. "I'm happy that you are happy. Second one is still not ready. I will give you an update on that one in about… a week."

"Sounds good." Well, not like they have a choice, but she needs to be polite.

Jarred cleared his throat. "I'm sorry that I was not able to meet you today. But I was busy."

"It's OK. We know you are a busy man. Your guys are great." Sarah remembered that she wanted to talk to Jarred about something, but since he was not there, she can talk now. "Hey, old man, I have a question."

"Yes?", Jarred reluctantly asked.

Sarah can tell that he is not happy that she wants something else. "You know people with special skills…"

Jarred grunted. "I know many people with many skills. You need to be more specific if you want us to have a productive conversation."

"OK." Sarah took few seconds to sort out her thoughts. "That day at the hospital parking lot, you saw us fight. Do you know some experts in that area?"

"How much I've seen, you and that fiancé of yours are experts. What are you looking for?"

"A master. I need guidance."

There were few seconds of silence before Jarred responded: "I will see what I can find out."

Jarred ended the call without waiting for a response. He probably didn't want to give her a chance to ask for anything else.

"That didn't sound promising.", Aiden commented.

"He didn't say 'no'." Sarah found something positive.

Sarah and Aiden discussed this previously. If she is going to make Stella talk, she needs to defeat her. And currently, Sarah can only dream about it. She needs to find another master to teach her something that Stella does not expect. He mother right now is a formidable opponent, but if Sarah acquires a new move or a skill, with an element of surprise, she just might be able to defeat her her.
