Is this destiny?

~ Romania, the Ceresc Solutions ~

While Sarah slept peacefully in Aiden's arms, it was a busy night for Mishi and the gang at the Ceresc Solutions.

Eve was relentlessly sending them an overwhelming amount of data from the Voronin family. 

During their planning meetings, Sarah told them that this will happen and that it will be a lot, but it was much more than expected.

The main conference room in the Castel (aka the main building with living quarters) on the property of Ceresc Solutions became overnight a packed area of computers, papers, and leftover pizza.

Mishi's task was to do preliminary sorting of the data geographically and to send it to the corresponding organization. Of course, they built apps to scan the files and do automatic sorting, but humans were still necessary for random sample checking and to deal with data that was left in the 'unknown' pile.

They needed extra people, so Ade, Hande, Tejan, Rosa, Daniel, Xiaohui, and Nico joined Mishi, Petar, Lucija, Emir, and Tereza in helping out to go through the data.

It was important to get this processed as soon as possible so that they can make appropriate decisions in a timely manner.

Sorted data was encrypted and sent in batches to their previously arranged destinations.

If something belonged in Northern Europe or North of the US, it went to Ellie, since she is Madam Kiani in charge of Mathew's people. Ellie tried calling two organizations after merging 'YK' and she also attempted 'YoKi' (as Young+Kiani), but it never stuck as people from Mathew's organization called her Boss Young, and the other ones called her Madam Kiani, and neither wanted to accept this name change, so Ellie eventually gave up. Jasper is working with Ellie on managing people and resources, but he is more like a second-in-command while she is at the top. Jasper does not mind Ellie being on top and whenever he says that, Ellie gives him a playful slap on the shoulder because she knows he is being naughty.

Back to the topic of the data from the Voronin family…

South of Europe and North Africa went to the Ronin twins and Angelo because they are in charge of Nero Armi. Sean and Ryan are doing most of the work, but they still request Angelo's guidance which he is happy to provide. Angelo is delighted that his subordinates accepted the twins as their next leaders, and the only thing better (for Angelo) is to see that his two sons are cooperating wonderfully without the need to outdo each other in a desire to come on top.

Data from the Voronin family that was related to Eastern Asia went to Mr. Wang, who saw this as another big benefit he received from Sarah. 'At this rate, I will never be able to repay all the kindness she is showing me…', Mr. Wang mused with a troubled expression on his face after reading the preliminary report from his right-hand man.

Data from the South of the US was sent to the White family where Mason and Ryder worked with a few of their trustworthy people to analyze the newly received information that covered bases, gathering points, warehouses, operatives, and other resources of the Voronin family.

Each of the organizations had the permission to do with this information whatever they want, as long as they don't reveal from where it came from. Everyone agreed to this condition.

Sarah and Aiden decided to share with their allies whatever they find on the Voronin family so that they get help in watching over them, and it will be useful in case they go for an all-out attack.

Noah received information on resources of the Voronin family in the United States and Aaron on the data in Europe. Lebedevs got their portion of data as well, and everything remaining was put on the servers for Haru, Nala, Michael, and Oni to sift through.

~ Eastern Europe, the base of the Lebedev family ~

5:30 AM

As usually, Vasily woke up early in the morning but instead of his usual workout, he headed to the main villa because he got the information from one of his guards about unusual activity that started around one hour after midnight. Of course, Vasily was curious.

"Good morning…", Vasily greeted cheerfully Konstantin, Sophia, and JoAnna who were sitting in front of the computer each, with their assistants busying themselves with laptops and printers.

"Morning…", Konstantin responded to Vasily without removing his gaze from the file that was on the screen while murmuring something to his trustworthy men: Vuk and Bogdan. Bogdan's arm is in a cast. The cast is a reminder of Bogdan's misfortune of experiencing Sarah's anger, but since then things between him and Sarah were fine, and Konstantin assured Bogdan that unless he provokes Sarah, she will not harm him again. So far, that was the case.

Konstantin, Sophia, and JoAnna divided all the information that Eve sent for the Lebedev family, and they were sending it to the corresponding Elder, based on the area that Elder controls.

Hero, Bella, and Luna came excitedly to get some head-pats (and maybe treats) from Vasily. The dogs were happy that so many humans are up early, but no one wanted to play with them. Well, Vasily gave them some neck and ear rubs, but that's it.

Vasily had to move when Merve and Imani walked in with trays full of steaming coffee mugs which they distributed before sitting behind computers next to Corey and Jamari.

Vasily observed several more computers on the side and piles of papers.

Ron, Zula, Corey, Merve, Imani, and Jamari were with a laptop each, and everyone was busy with their eyes focused on screens in front and occasionally talking in murmurs.

This didn't look like a living room, but more like an information-central.

Out of the people who are not present currently in this living room, Bo, Francisca, Wing, and Azra are in the neighboring villa with Zack and Masika, helping analyze data that 'Elder Zack' received. Souta, Camila, Allen, and Julius are with Stella and Owen in Stella's villa, sorting out the information that was relevant for 'Elder Milena'.

Each of the villas belonging to Elders had at least one room that looked more-less like the sight in front of Vasily. All of the villas, except for the Vasily's.

Felix was with Beck in the underground lab of the main villa, tweaking the mechanisms for overriding the signal jammers of the Voronin family, and Jeff was on the video call with Pam and Leah, as well as with Ryder and Mason.

With Eve breaking into the network of the Voronin family on the previous evening, now everyone had a lot to do.

Back to the living room of the main villa in the Lebedev family…

At first, Vasily thought that something happened to Sarah, but then he saw that they are all relaxed. Tired, but relaxed. And Milena would be here raising a storm if Sarah is in danger. So, it's nothing dangerous related to Sarah, and they are not under attack. What could it be?

"You are all busy.", Vasily said, confused that no one is telling him what is going on or shooing him away (in case he should not know what is going on).

"How come you are not busy?", JoAnna asked sarcastically. "I would expect that your hands are full, but it seems you have time to walk around..."
