Aiden
We gathered in the living room.
“Nadia, I’d like to put your mind at ease,” Sebastian stated.
“Ok?”
“I pulled your financial records for the past five years. There’s absolutely no way you’re hooked on drugs. You rarely withdraw cash so unless you are paying for drugs using a debit card, we know your clean. Assholes will use your weakness against you every time.”
She peeked at each of us. “Thank you.”
“I think you should meet my wife, her cousin and their friends. When things aren’t chaotic in our world, they get together and talk trash over food and wine.”
Her eyes brightened. “Sounds like fun.”
“If the big guy is on active duty and you want to hang out call me. I’ll send my private jet to fly you to Cali. Warning their idea of fun sometimes involves shooting weapons at a private gun range.”
“That’s perfect. Aiden taught me how to shoot this weekend. I’d like to keep my new skill sharpened.”
Valen shook his head and laughed. “Aiden, please tell me you weren’t out here turning her into a warrior.”
“Brother, you know our missions are mainly clean, but in the event, they aren’t Nadia needs to know how to defend herself.”
“Smart thinking Aiden.” Valen smiled.
Valen laid on the roof AR fifteen at his side peering through binoculars over the trees.
We had plenty of fire power stored in the second bedroom closet. After selecting our weapons, I placed a fully loaded Ak forty-seven in Nadia’s hands. She planted her bottom on the floor. “Nadia if the door opens shoot to kill. What does that mean?”
“Head shots,” she stated.
“Good. If the three of us don’t come back once the shooting stops wait ten minutes. Jump out the window then blow the house with the grenades in the basket across from you. Swim across the lake to the neighbor’s cabin. Understand?”
“Yes.”
I leaned over and pecked her lips. “I won’t let anything happen to you. I will die before I let one man lay a hand on you.”
A tear slid down her cheek and she shook her head. I closed the door and stalked out of the bedroom.
I nodded to Sebastian, sitting on the floor posted beside the living room window as I strolled out the door. Lying in the dirt on the side of the cabin, I scanned the grounds through my AR fifteen rifle scope. Sweat dripped down my brow under my black baseball cap. The sun beat against my back. Bullet-proof vests were great protection, but I felt like a baked fish. Nothing was hotter than the weather in Yemen. I’ll take this Idaho heat any day.
After scanning the woods, I glanced at my watch.
I tapped my earbud. “How are we looking up there, Valen?”
“There’s an SUV three miles out heading this way.”
Good thing my cabin stood alone on this side of the lake. Didn’t want any civilian casualties.
“Roger that.”
Valen was hoisted up and harnessed on the roof. He had the ability to slide on the lower slant as the vehicles approached.
The SUV’s crawled to a halt. Two men hopped out the first vehicle. Hands on holsters they assessed the grounds, walking toward the cabin.
Only my truck sat in the driveway. Valen pulled his behind the cabin.
