Now go. I’ve got business to take
care of, and I don’t want you here to see it. It could get ugly.” He glanced
over at me, and my heart began racing.  Oh God, please protect me, I pray
silently, as he push Brandi aside and began walking towards me.

    I was heading towards the garage with Hector
and Luis when I felt a strong rumbling on the ground, and the crack of concrete
as the ground started shaking. Could it be an earthquake?  I was in Los Angeles
after all. A large boom  filled the air, and made me jump as a blast of fire
exploded in one of the data storage buildings. 
    “Nat!”
Rachel was running towards me followed by Kenneth, who had pulled out his gun.
“We’re being attacked. Some men…”
    “The
Dragon’s men,” Kenneth said, running up to me.  “I recognize the dragon tattoos
on their arms. They found our location. Must’ve followed someone here, and now
they’re trying to break down each unit.”
    “Alert
everyone there’s been a breach in security and to take down those men. They are
armed and dangerous and must be stopped.”  I looked at Hector, who was one of
my best trackers and told him to find the leader of the group. He nodded and left,
while I took Luis and Rachel to head over to the part of the compound that
exploded.
    “The
explosion came from that area,” Rachel said, pointing to the far right end of
our compound.
    I
gritted my teeth. Damn. That was where my team had stored the most recent data
containing evidence of The Dragon’s involvement with some of the biggest crimes
the crime ring hatched.  Everything was encrypted and double encrypted so no
one, not even in my group, could read the data. I made sure of it myself by
doing the encryption for it.  I had to assess the damage. Myself. See if and
any of that evidence survived.  But I had to do it myself.
    I
told Luis to keep Rachel safe. To take her to my private quarters where the
walls were bullet-proof, and there were surveillance set up outside the
perimeters so once you’re in, you could set up the alarm system easily with a
touch of a button. I hugged Rachel and said, “Rachel, I’m going in to assess
the damage. Could be dangerous, but none of these guys would know what to look
for except me.  Plus,” I leaned in close to whisper in her ear. “Not even my
guys know what’s in there. And I like to keep it that way.  Go with Luis, who I
can trust with my life. He’s the silent but strong type, and hide out in my
quarters. It’s the safest place here.” I pulled back and took out one of my
guns from my back holster. “Here. I know you know how to use this. Dad taught
us how to shoot a gun years ago in case we ever needed to for protection. Now’s
the time for that. Keep close to Luis until I get back. Okay, sis?”
    “Okay,”
Rachel said, taking the revolver.  “I’ve been practicing, especially for those
action adventure movies I’ve been dying to get a role in.  So, yeah, I’m handy
with this. Don’t worry, Nat. Just go do what you have to do.” She hugged me
tight, and said, “Keep safe.”
    I
hugged her again and nodded at Luis who led her to my quarters, which I knew
for sure, she would get a kick out of since it was probably the most decked
out, luxurious, highest security place on the planet. Over the years, and
through my travels and adventures, I’ve accumulated a lot of interesting stuff,
including a fine taste. I was sure Rachel would appreciate how much effort I’ve
took to build up my quarters and this compound.  Inside my quarters, to help me
keep my sanity over the years since leaving Summer and my family, was a section
that was a re-creation of Aunt Sookie’s Malibu Pad. Complete with the video
games. Summer and Rachel’s room, and the room Drew and I shared growing up at
the Pad.
    It
was my sanctuary, while the men had the zen gardens, waterfalls, and koi ponds
in the courtyard.  For the amount of dangerous work we do,
