*The rest of the night was magical, we talked, laughed, cuddled and even made out, it was like the night would never end and I didn't want it to. As Ashton lay on my lap asleep, I watched him as he slept peacefully.Suddenly my phone rang in my pocket, almost making me jump but thankfully I was able to bring it out without waking Ashton up. I looked at the screen and saw the ID: Susan. I picked.Me: Susan, this isn't a great time. What is it?I asked.Susan: We have a situation Adira and I'm sorry but you have to come back. Susan said seriously.Me: Details now! I said trying to be as quiet as possible. Susan explained how some of our girls were ambushed by a new gang group in town trying to exact dominance because they have ties with the black arrow. That name always brought bad memories.Susan:... Left to me, I would get a team of elite ladies and bring down their fort but we need a proper plan, we need our leader if not they'll keep coming back thinking we're a bunch of little gi
*We took off as soon as I arrived with Phillip, Stacy, Mandy and Jonathan were already waiting for us by the helicopter being flown by Agatha.It took us at least an hour and thirty minutes to fly back to area Z, we flew directly to our helicopter patch beside Wong shin manor.It was exactly 8 am when we landed and the oohs and wows that kept coming from Stacy, Mandy and Jonathan just seemed to intensify now.We walked to the main entrance where we were greeted with a big sign and screaming kids."Welcome home Adira!!!" The kids screamed.I was surprised as well as shocked to see all the kids in front of Wong manor, the ran around me hugging and asking questions different questions."Kids, why aren't you at school?" I asked over all the noise."We had a rat problem at school." The kids all giggled. I didn't even have the strength to ask what they did."Adi Adi Adi... We learnt new things while you were gone." Tiffany said."Yeah, you promised us presents." Jeremy shouted."Well I prom
*Francesca came and we were finally able to go over the plan, but I felt different because we were doing this without Tina and if felt wrong. I remembered that I came back to fulfil my duties as the leader of the Black Roses and now's not the time to waver."That concluded the base of the plan. This is what we've worked on Adira, any suggestions?" Susan asked."Now that you've asked, it's time to introduce our new member. Mr Phillip." I said standing up."Good morning ladies, My name is Phillip Ruben, I served in the United States military strategic planning team for over 20 year, the marine for about 10 years and a special school for Butlers for 5 years, and thanks to miss Adira, I'll be teaching you all I know on strategic planning. I look forward to working with you." Phillip said taking a bow."Any questions before we proceed." I asked and when no one answered, I let Phillip take the floor."For a plan this detailed, only a woman would come up with it and with all my years of exp
*Despite the headache I had gotten from Stephanie's and Susan's argument, I still had to follow the kids to have fun since I had already promised them. Olivia sent someone to inform me that the buses were ready and it was time to go but a part of me couldn't leave with making up with Stephanie.Susan was one thing, she's a emotional wreck trying to hold on to the last strand of sanity in her life, she's been through a lot even though she's still growing.But Stephanie is more mature, a woman who's broken pieces are well hidden from the world, she wouldn't cry in public to be pitied, rather she'd tuck her feelings, neatly placing them at the back of her mind and hurting immensely. She was who I needed to be with right now."Tell Olivia that I just need 30 minutes," I said slowly leaving Susan who had finally fallen asleep.I dashed towards Stephanie's room on the second floor, thankfully the halls were empty, making it easier to find her. I burst through Stephanie's door to find her b
*She walked over to Stephanie's door pacing up and down the corridor, she couldn't bring myself to knock. It would be easier to wipe out an entire village than face an angry best friend.After what felt like 30 minutes the door flew open revealing a pissed off Stephanie standing in the threshold."Are you gonna guard here all night? The sound of your booth against the floor is killing me." Stephanie said arms folded.Adira was stunned and at a loss of words, but in her moment of confusion, she lifted up the bottle of wine and a brown paper bag, smiling nervously. Stephanie looked over the things in her hand and then back at her before rolling her eyes and walking back into her room.Adira's arms fell then, "I don't have all night you know," Stephanie said from her room.With a small smile and a straightened back, Adira walked into Stephanie's room again. Stephanie was seated on the couch closest to the window as she stared at the moonlight, the light in her room dim, complimenting th
*There was a knock on the door the next morning, Adira woke up stretching, she had fallen asleep in Stephanie's room the previous night and now someone was knocking on the door.Adira staggered to the door sleepy eyed as she pulled it open, Margret was the one behind the door and it was obvious she was shocked to see Adira open the door that early in the morning."G- Good morning ma'am. I- i-i-i didn't know you were her." Margret's voice pitched."Pls, call me Adira and what time is it?" Adira asked."It's 8:15 am ma'am... I mean, Adira." Margret corrected herself."Okay, and?" Adira pushed a little."Oh, oh! I was sent to get Stephanie for breakfast." Margret said."I thought breakfast was by 7:15?" "Well, you declared a day off for everyone so Olivia and Tina decided to let everyone sleep in a bit." Margret answered."Alright. Do this for me, Let Tina know that I'll be having breakfast with everyone and that I would like to see her immediately after." Adira ordered."Yes ma'am, I
*Preparation were set, the ladies ready, the dresses fabulous and the heavy air of nerves of if such a plan would work, looked over everyone's head like a dark cloud.The operation were kept away from the others as well as the older kids who would be leaving again soon. They didn't need trouble when they came home to relax.Adira conversed with Francesca and double checks all the electronics, the back up team was also set if thing went west and every necessary gear were handled.They were scheduled to leave tonight at approximately 18:00 hour, everyone was so busy to notice Tina slip out in all of the commotion to get ready.Adira went back to her room, opened up a drawer she kept incase of emergency and brought out a bottle of Scotch. She poured some in a cup by her bedside draining it as fast as she poured it."Is it advisable to drink before going on such a large scale mission?" Stephanie said standing by the door."That's exactly why I'm drinking." Adira said pouring another glas
*"Team alpha has successfully entered into enemy base, initiating phase two, operation distraction." *Before the girls were lead in the man had to inform one of their superiors so it wouldn't complicate matters afterwards.It wasn't easy convincing him but after a thorough inspection of the ladies bodies, to be sure they weren't spies or members of the black rose and a promise to perform for the men as well as personal service."This way please, we'll provide you with whatever you need, and you promise us a performance after." Rob said clearing his throat."I can't wait to see what kinds of talents you girls have. I'm hope you don't disappoint me, I have disappointment." Michael said with a hint of danger in his voice."You've put a roof over our heads, this is the least we could do. And I'm a hundred and one percent sure you won't be disappointed." Her words were as smooth as a deadly snake, make his word seem like a worthless cry for help.Michael withdrew sensing the danger but
