Extra 21: Combining Requests

"He's gone," one of the guards announced after Gabrie left.

"Good. And by the way, great job, Barbara. You really impressed me with your speed," Brandon said as he took off his mask. "Thank you for the opportunity, boss," she replied. "Hehe, though I did feel a bit nervous with that old guy staring at me."

"Don't be. You were perfect with your sensual movements. And besides, we were all ready to protect you if that guy had tried anything weird," Laura said as she emerged from her hiding spot behind one of the large paintings on the wall, holding a sniper rifle in her hands. "Thank you, ma'am," said Barbara, blushing slightly.

"Alright, you can go change and have lunch now. I'll see you this afternoon to continue your training." Laura said, extending her hand.

Barbara handed back the dagger and said her goodbyes before heading off to join her other colleagues for lunch.

"You were right, she's a very talented girl," Brandon said as he put away his mask in its special case.

"I told you, I have a good eye for spotting new talent," Laura said as she leaned in to give him a kiss on the lips. "By the way, are you sure about this?"

""About what?"

"About accepting that guy's request."

"Yes, because I've thought of something fun that could mean a big reward for us," he said, pulling her close by the waist. "But I can assure you that, at the end of the day, Jayden will be the one who benefits. Gabriel made a huge mistake, though: I hate hurting people through their children."

"I feel the same way, love."

With that, they finished putting away their gear and went to replace their little one so they could finish having lunch as a family.

Later that afternoon, Jayden arrived at the pier with his little princess as she didn't want to stay home alone and had asked to come with her dad.

"Okay, princess," Jayden began, "repeat the rules for going out."

"Don't let go of your hand and point to what I want or where I want to go, and... um... oh yeah, don't talk to strangers."

"Very good, sweetheart," he said as he parked the car and turned around to help his little girl with her seatbelt.

Meanwhile, security noticed Jayden's sports car, so they approached to welcome him.

"Uh... Daddy..." Elizabeth said, seeing several people approaching the car, which made her a little scared.

"What's wrong?" he asked, seeing her point to the security team. "It's okay, honey, don't be scared, Just remember what I told you, alright?" "Mhm..." she said, jumping into his arms and clinging to his neck.

Jayden patted her back gently and carefully got out of the car, with someone even opening the door for him.

"Thanks," he said, smiling at the young man before turning to the head of the group and handing him a black card. "Good afternoon, gentlemen,"

"Welcome, Mr. Cooper. Vox is expecting you," one of the guards said after confirming the card was genuine. "This way, please."

Jayden nodded, adjusted his little girl in his arms, and followed the guard to the VIP waiting room.

Entering the room, he saw that Brandon was already there, waiting while sipping some water. "Welcome..." Brandon began to say as he heard the door open, but he was surprised to see that Jayden hadn't come alone. "Oh wow, what's this surprise?" "Uncle!" Elizabeth said as she slipped out of her dad's arms and ran to hug him.

"Oh, look at that... we have a beautiful princess with us Brandon said, kneeling down to catch the little girl. "What's the occasion?" he asked, lifting her into his arms.

"I didn't want to stay home all by myself."

"Oh... what do you mean all by yourself? Why?"

"Well, James is working on a school project at a friend's house, the grandparents are at work, and the twins are with Mommy at the office."

"Oh, I see. So, are you taking care of your daddy?"

"Yes!" she said proudly, making the adults laugh softly.

"Ellie!" Elizabeth turned and saw a little redheaded boy running over to greet her.

"Joshua!" she greeted. Brandon put her down, and she moved to hug the younger boy.

Jayden smiled at the scene. Looking up, he saw Laura coming in behind her son, smiling at the children.

"Good afternoon," Jayden greeted.

"Good afternoon to you too," Laura returned.

"Auntie!"

"Hello, Elizabeth. How are you?"

"Good."

"Hey, would you like to help us? We were about to make chocolate cookies," Laura suggested.

"Yes.... uh.... um...." The little girl looked at her dad, who smiled at her. "Daddy, can I go with Auntie?"

"Go on, honey. I'll be here talking with Uncle Brandon, but remember to do everything Auntie Laura says "Yes!" she said, running over to give him a kiss before taking Laura's hand.

The kids started chatting with each other about how they wanted to make their cookies and the candies they'd use to decorate them.

"They sent you with a bodyguard," Brandon said with amusement as he poured himself some more water.

"It just

so happened that it was only us at home, and she begged me to bring her along."

"Hahaha, well, it's all part of the dad package. Want some?" he said, offering him a glass of water.

"Sure, and it seems you're on a tight leash too since I don't see your liquor collection anymore."
