Is this destiny?

~ Dallas ~

Sarah and Aiden are observing on the laptop video feeds of the area provided by the drones they dispatched.

Eric told them that in this place Mr. Morgan has a secret underground bunker of some sort where he keeps most of his valuables.

Sarah and Aiden want to make Morgan family's demise appear like it came from Chaos, so they selected few targets to attack and to leave their marks.

Most of the things they can handle from the comfort of their computer room by shutting down the accounts and tampering with names on the documents, but they need the originals (if any exist) so that Mr. Morgan can't take them back.

Eric informed them that this is the most secretive and most secured location that Mr. Morgan owns, so they concluded that if those original documents exist, the chance is high that they will be here. Based on that, Sarah and Aiden decided to make this location their first target.

They didn't bring Eric with them, because they still don't trust him completely. He was under the influence of the truth serum, but there is always a possibility that they didn't ask the right questions.

After all they've been through, Sarah and Aiden don't trust newcomers easily.

Sarah and Aiden have with them twenty men from the White family. They are all people whom they trained on the White property, and currently they are working for Jeff. Each of those men received a facemask, so that their identities are not exposed, and also they are here with ten black unmarked vans. Their purpose: to help Sarah and Aiden carry out any 'treasures' they find in that underground bunker.

The mission went smoothly. The drones disabled guards, Eve took over the surveillance and put it on a loop so that activities of 'the robbers' are not recorded. Sarah and Aiden walked in with Jeff's men like they own the place.

The scans from the surface showed that there is something underground, but it is deep, and under a layer of some metallic mixture, so they were unable to see the details.

They expected to find a bunker and a bunker they found.

The entrance was right where Eric told them, and Eve helped crack the passcodes and bypass the biometrics so that no alarms are triggered.

Sarah and Aiden didn't expect what they found inside. It was like a huge treasure cave. Paintings stacked one on top of the other. Both Sarah and Aiden are not into art, but Eve-vision helped them identify few pieces worth several million dollars each. Those pieces are missing from the open market for many years. There were statues, ancient weapons, antiques, jewelry, a wall-covering wine rack with hundreds of bottles… It seems that Mr. Morgan is a collector.

Sarah's eyes lit up when she saw a huge safe door which leads to another room!

As soon as they confirmed that there are no traps, Sarah and Aiden got Jeff's men to start taking things into vans.

Initial plan was to take everything with them to Los Angeles right away, but they found too many items which need to be handled with care. Aiden instructed their helpers to take all the items to the storage owned by the White family, where it will be packed and secured in a way to prevent any damage and then it will be transported to Los Angeles where Sarah and Aiden will figure out what exactly they looted and what to do with it.

Aiden suggested that Penny can help them with the artwork because she is an expert in the area, to which Sarah agreed absentmindedly while reading on Eve-vision instructions how to crack open that safe-door. Whatever is inside, must be precious enough to hide in the safe inside a secret bunker.

Aiden handled logistics of getting the things out while Sarah kept busy with the safe.

Aiden was surprised that Sarah had a diamond-head drill and explosive with her, it seems that she expected something like this. Or maybe she hoped for it. He didn't notice when she packed those things in the suitcase which she brought with her.

With the help of the Eve-vision, Sarah knew where exactly to drill and how much explosive to put inside in order to damage internal locking mechanism without blasting the door itself.

Jeff's people worked fast, and they were more than halfway with clearing numerous things from the bunker when the door of the safe opened.

Inside they found gold bars, diamonds and documents. A lot of documents.

Aiden glanced randomly through few and confirmed that one section was filled with property deeds, originals. What surprised them is that not all of them are on the name of the members of the Morgan family.

One stack of documents was on the name 'Harriet Morgan'. Sarah remembered that Penny told her how her parents took away her assets, well… she will get them back. It's a piece of cake for Sarah and Aiden to change the name on electronic documents, and as long as Penny holds onto the originals, 'Harriet Morgan' will not show up to claim what is hers.

"Do you think that these are stolen? Or are they kept here for safekeeping?", Aiden asked Sarah while holding several documents which had unknown owner's names on them.

Sarah shrugged indicating that she does not know. "We are taking everything and will examine them later."

Another section inside the vault was with some other documents, pages from different magazines, photographs, and there were several external hard drives as well.

"Any guesses what these are?", Sarah asked Aiden.

Now it was his turn to shrug. "Whatever it is, it's important enough to be locked in here."

"Maybe these are the reasons why Morgan family so quickly gained favor with Marcus.", Sarah guessed.

They all discussed more than once how it's unusual that Morgan family switched their loyalty from Oscar (and Jeff) to Marcus only recently, but very quickly Mr. Morgan became very close to Marcus, to obvious displeasure of people who are supporting Marcus for many years already.

Sarah and Aiden were happy with the loot. They emptied… everything.

Jeff's men took with them all the things from the bunker and valuables from the vault like gold and diamonds while Sarah and Aiden decided to take with them documents and hard drives. They want to start checking them as soon as they get back to Los Angeles, and if all goes according to the plan, they will be there in time for breakfast tomorrow.

Before leaving, they marked several spots with a spray paint by making the Chaos symbol: a circle with eight arrows coming out of it.

With rumors already in place how the Chaos army was offended by Morgans, this will be perfect.

They drove out with vans leisurely like they didn't commit a grand robbery.

All the security guys working for Mr. Morgan will wake up in about two hours, at which time Eve will resume regular security footage. And by then, Sarah and Aiden (and their loot) will be long gone.

After parting ways with Jeff's people, Aiden drove the car toward the city.

"We are not going to the airport?", Sarah asked when he parked on a parking lot downtown Dallas.

"We told Haru and Nala that we will be back by three o'clock and considering the time needed to reach San Antonio, we have more than two hours... for us.", Aiden explained while offering his hand to Sarah.

Sarah didn't ask any more questions. She can see that he planned something. She placed her hand in his and stepped out of the car.

They reached the rooftop restaurant of some sort, but it was more like a lounging area under the gazebo canopy overlooking nightlights of downtown Dallas. About a dozen tables around the lounging area were empty. The whole place was just for the two of them it reminded Sarah of Paris, when Aiden booked the whole boat-restaurant for them.

Aiden ordered food in advance, because freshly made dishes were on the table, waiting for them when they took their seats.

Aiden observed Sarah's smile which confirmed that she likes it.

They enjoyed their meal in a pleasant silence while exchanging loving gazes.

For dessert, Sarah curled up next to Aiden on the sofa and he fed her a yummy vanilla cake with fresh strawberries.

Once they finished with their meal, bright lights went off and the small fairy lights hanging above them provided a romantic atmosphere.

Aiden held Sarah's hand in his and said what is on his mind: "I must admit that since I woke up I was overwhelmed by guilt that I left you by yourself for so long, and then I scrambled to catch up and make myself useful. With all that, I forgot what is important… to make you happy."

Sarah looked at him and she felt guilty as well. "I am happy. I am sorry that I am so busy that I don't show you how happy I am."

"Don't blame yourself. If I'm able to help you more you would not be so busy."

"You woke up just over a month ago. You are doing great.", she comforted him.

Aiden caressed her cheek. "Not good enough. There are still so many things I need to make up to you."

Sarah was happy that he wants to help, but his health comes first. "Don't push yourself. One thing at a time. OK?"

"OK…", his devilish smile was on while curtains fell down, providing a complete privacy under the gazebo canopy enclosure lit up by the fairy lights from above.

"One… thing… at a time…", he said between kisses while pushing her down on the sofa.
