Chapter 349 - Assemble Part 1

Andromeda reached home and she sighed. Then she glanced at her husband with still a smug face as he stepped down from the stairs of their jet plane. He reached her hand as they walk to their sedan.

"You enjoy our flight?" He asked.

"I did." She giggled as she snuggled to his chest. Their flight is full of teasing and lovemaking. Soon enough, Andy would tell it to him. Once that her shot is over, she would tell him about it all.

Zach reached her and head pull it as he kissed her temple. The back seat of sedan opened for them and they hopped in and just as they about to plan for their night, she received a message from Fox.

Team! Assemble on our rendezvous at the time when demons always showed up. 

She replied to his message and glanced at her clock. She had at least two hours to get ready.

"Let's go home directly." She told him.

"Sure. You already have plans for tonight?"

"Uhh, not really." She glanced at her driver. "I need to pick up something from Ellen's and probably deliver her gifts since she needed it."

"Okay." He nodded.

"Just rest home. I will massage you tonight."

"Ohh, now we are talking." He adjusted to face her as the car drove down to the road. "What else are you treating me tonight?"

"It's a secret." She moved closer to him and kissed his lips. "Now, you need to be patient." She smirked at him.

Maybe she needed to buy something for her husband. He's liking some kinky stuff and maybe she'll buy one for him for their pleasure.

Fin already waited on the rendezvous at two. He left the house at one in the afternoon and roaming around the city just to make sure that no one is watching him. He changed his motorbike two times after entering the old penthouse building and using one of his motorbikes. Then he drove directly to their rendezvous when he had misled them.

He waited there and checked the surroundings. So far, no one knows about this. Andromeda is smart enough to build up other facilities without others knowing the location. The dungeon that she made almost has no service at all and Andy manage to hire people that are loyal to her.

He first thought that Andy would arrive first but Andel showed up with ch.i.p.s. Then Moira followed with sodas. They sat down on the sofa after greeting him and they started talking and more like arguing over the incident that happened in England.

He is careless about that. He just looked outside the window waiting for Andromeda to show up. The vision is all about her and for now. They need to limit going back to Madagascar together. If possible, he had planned on his own.

Andy entered from the backdoor and she greeted them.

"Wassup?" She asked and glanced at Andel who has a red face in anger. She already guessed what happened.

"Damn it." Andel murmured and he grabbed a soda and drank it.

"I am fine, and Alanis protected me well."

"Protecting you?" He asked sardonically.

"It's my choice to take a sipped on the champagne. It's my choice to shop around without him." She argued back.

"Andel! I am fine."

"We aren't here to talk about the past, right?" Andy asked and looked at Fin who have been staring at her.

"Yes. We aren't here to talk about the past." He finally said. Andy exhaled and nodded as she proceeds to her seat.

Fin took out a cold bottle of soda and opened the cap. He sipped on it and Andy waited for him patiently to speak.

"Phoenix started slaying the Eagles. That time will come when Eagle started the hunt and Phoenix will join the hunt. It will be soon now." He exhaled. "I don't know what triggered it besides of Freya's incident."

"Ohh, so it will be a bloody war?" Andel asked as he crossed his arms.

"Yes, they aren't just targeting Phoenix. Phoenix is much stronger so they will target the very heart and head of us." Then he looked at Andromeda. "The visions that I have been seeing of you getting killed by my bullet is part of their plan to set us up."

"Wow," Moira said and Andy laughed and nodded.

"Well, if that's what you dreamed about." Andy stood.

"Once that we lost you, everything will be more chaotic," Fin added. Andromeda stopped. Everything that she had gathered is enough for her to crack the riddle.

"I understand." She turned around and looked at Moira. "Grandpa didn't just shape me up to rule the Empire. I wasn't alone on this." She looked at Moira. "We all need to get ready. They aren't just going to slay us but our heirs and heiresses."

"I understand." Fin stood. He trusted Andromeda with his life.

"We need to be prepared more than ever," Andy said. Andel and Moira stood.

"We will start by creating a virus and maybe put it on their server," Moira said. Andel nodded.

"Andel, I want you to focus on EPUA. Moira will do the job in Dragon Empire. You are my reserve."

"W-what?" He's stunned from her decision.

"Sabrina needed you more than I do."

"Okay." He nodded. "But I will still help as I could."

"Of course." She smiled.

"That means that I have to leave?" He asked.

"Yes. Take your sister with you." She turned back and went to her own office.

Fin wondered what's taking her time there. Andel and Moira already left, and he is waiting for her. She didn't say that he's dismissed. She just waited for Moira and Andel to leave. Then Andy called him. He stood and went to her office.

She had a small chest over the table with the gold of Dragon around it. She took out the key and gave it to him. It's a golden key and it's fancy.

"This is a safekeeping. Open this box if something happened to me."

"I will." He took the key.

"This is much safer here." Andy put the chest to a vault on the floor with her handprint. "The code is on the key and your fingerprint is already registered."

He nodded at her.

Freya entered the conference room and they all stand up with a snappy salute. Then she reached her chair and salute back. She sat down and they followed. Steven is always beside her, taking care of her food and everything. He made sure that he's the one serving her food since someone can assassinate her even inside her empire.

"Well, I just received a message from someone." She started. "Get ready anytime. Eagles will start slaying every Phoenix member, even those who are unborn. Your wife or girlfriend that you probably i.m.p.r.e.g.n.a.t.e should be keep away from the Eagle's eyes." She pressed her lips. "They will slay us all over again as they did before. In their eyes, no one is innocent. To us—we only kill those who threatened us.

"Commander A, I want you to send away all of their wives in a place where no one will know. Erase all your faces from the photos that they kept. We shouldn't leave any evidence. It's for the safety of your family. I know that this is hard, but it's the only way for us to protect them."

"Yes, Ma'am." He said in a very snappy voice.

"Commander B delete all the data of every person inside this room and each of your team."

"Yes, Ma'am!" Commander B answered.

"This is a bloody battle." She reached her stomach stealthily. "Heirs and Heiresses are to be saved. From the Phoenix Empire to the Dragon Empire."

"Salute!" They all stood at the same time and salute at the same time.

"Dismiss."

They wait for her to leave before they dismiss. Steven put a hand at the small of her back, the way he usually did to protect her and their babies. Andy dismissed him already from working in the office and to protect Freya and their babies.

"What do you want to eat tonight?" He murmured to her ear.

"I will just eat anything you make." She said. Steven nodded and bodyguards always surrounded her. She doesn't feel so safe in Manhattan anymore, but her people are there, and they are slowly moving around.

They reached the penthouse and their bodyguards searched around with bomb detector just to make sure of her safety. The Commanders are paranoid because she's pregnant and her babies are their next heiress or heirs.

The penthouse is always monitored and whenever leave, it was always locked and Wren would always review the CCTV recordings inside the kitchen and balcony. They are more paranoid than she expected, even Steven who did not let her eat from take-outs.

She sat down on the sofa and put her feet over the coffee table. She turned on the television. Steven is getting ready for their dinner. She exhaled and closed her eyes as the vision swirled into her brains like it's toasting her brains as a scenario play.

It was again Andromeda on the cliff as Yves smirked at her and then a bullet came, and she saw Fin shot Andromeda.

She gasped and found Steven beside her. He kissed her forehead and gave her a bottle of water.

"You okay, babe?" He asked and wiped her tears. She only nodded. She's getting emotional again.
