Chapter 2000 - Finding Noah (4)

It didn't take long for Sarah and Aiden to make their way upstairs and they joined Noah and the other three people in the VIP booth.

The three people were Noah's subordinates in charge of the Chaos nightclub. After greeting Sarah and Aiden, they bowed and left the room since Noah told them that they are done for the night and that they should go and attend to their respective areas.

"How is the evening going?", Sarah asked Noah.

"As usual.", Noah responded and scrolled through his tablet. "Four organizations have meetings scheduled for tonight, and three more requested to meet with you, but they don't have appointments."

"Anything urgent?"

"Not for us."

Sarah nodded. "Reject the ones without appointments, and I will meet with others in fifteen minutes. Who is first?"

Aiden sat on the sofa and looked at Sarah while silently disapproving her actions. She said that she wants to check the club and have a good time. How is this a good time? This is obviously working!

Aiden thought of heading to the fighting cage. At the Chaos nightclub, Aiden does not need to worry about Sarah's safety because she is surrounded by soldiers from the Army of Chaos and none of them will allow Sarah to be bullied. And also, there is Noah. Aiden does not like the way Noah is looking at Sarah, but Aiden is confident that Noah will not try anything funny. After all, Noah is treating Sarah with reverence, like she is an untouchable Goddess and not a potential lover. In his absence, Aiden trusts Noah with Sarah's security.

Aiden's eyes lit up at the thought of how he can get some exercise while Sarah handles the meetings. Lately, no one wanted to fight with him and here he can always find some unsuspecting victims.

A sly smile appeared on Aiden's lips as he contemplated registering as "Mr. A" for the fights. That was the alias he uses when they go to Austin, but here not many should know about who is behind "Mr. A" moniker. They will think of him as a newbie and register as his opponents and by the time they realize who he really is, it will be too late.

Oblivious to Aiden's intentions, Sarah was holding a tablet and scrolling through the report that contained information related to the organization whose representatives were waiting to meet with the Army of Chaos. The report said that they were looking to establish an illegal trade in Canada, and they want the Army of Chaos to provide them with assistance in the form of securing their trade routes. Actually, just by announcing that they are collaborating with the Army of Chaos, no one in the North American region will dare to mess with them.

Sarah frowned. "They don't say what they want to trade."

Noah nodded. "We should find out the details during the meeting."

Sarah's eyebrow arched. "Cancel this meeting. Unless they spill everything important in advance, I don't want to waste time on them."

"The meeting is in five minutes.", Noah reminded Sarah.

"So?"

Noah cleared his throat. "I'm on it." He knew that this might escalate. The people got a confirmation that they will get this meeting and they are already here. Denying them now will be a big slap in the face, but as the Army of Chaos, they can do such a risky move.

Aiden's mood dampened at this development. If Sarah cancels the meeting, can he go and fight? Well, he does not mind sitting by Sarah's side, but he got excited with the thought of some exercise.

Sarah watched Noah as he first informed all security in the club that there might be an issue and to stay on alert.

Next, Noah called the other party and told them that something came up… "I apologize. Our scheduling overlooked that you didn't submit all the necessary information… Yes. We need to know the details on what you want to trade and the expected amount of involvement from our side… Yes… I understand that can be discussed during the meeting, but depending on that information you will meet with a different representative from our side…" Noah kept the phone away from his ear, as the other party was shouting.

Sarah smiled because Noah's scrunched face was funny, but she knew that her decision was right. All the signs show that she would reject them, and she didn't want to waste time meeting with them only to caress their egos.

Each of these 'collaborations' comes with a risk for the members of the Army of Chaos, and Sarah cherishes each of her soldiers. She also believes that they have no need to expand their business further. The Army of Chaos and Lebedevs are branching toward South America, and anything more than that would be overkill. At the same time, Sarah will not decline a promising deal, but this was not one of those. Everyone has secrets; she knew that no one would disclose all the details and if they are failing to share the basic information from the start, who knows what they will be hiding later?

The Army of Chaos is not a legal organization and their hands are not clean, but Sarah does not want to be involved in things like trading humans or body parts, and she steers away from deals that involve drugs as well. There is a bottom like she does not want to cross.

While waiting for Noah to finish his phone call, Sarah switched to see who was in the club tonight. It was a list which was filled by the security at the main entrances. There were tabs that grouped people as associates, friends, hostile, unknown, new, etc. Each tab had a number indicating how many people fall into that category.

Sarah was curious about the 'new' which indicated that six people are in the club for the first time.

Sarah opened that tab and read the names: Rudy Gorman, Jamie Pratt, Chloe Long… Sarah paused when she read Chloe's name and she saw the note of how Chloe came to the club by herself and that she is 'family'.

Sarah thought for a moment before keeping the tablet on the side and walking toward the glass enclosure to observe the crowd below.

With Eve-lens, it took Sarah a few seconds to locate Chloe sitting at the bar. Two guys were flanking her and trying to talk with her, and based on Chloe's forced smile, Sarah could guess that she was not comfortable.

Sarah's fingers moved in the air, and she read on the Eve-lens information that Chloe started working as a Blanc employee on Monday and that she moved into one of the apartment buildings nearby.

Sarah will never forget the way Chloe looked at Noah during Emma's baby shower and considering that Chloe came here on her own, the wheels in Sarah's head started spinning. Of course, there was also the point that Noah was the one who set up Chloe with a job and Noah never helped a woman enter the company. Things clicked perfectly, at least in Sarah's mind.
