The Traps of Black Swan

The military men expected her to fear but Aarvi yawned uncontrollably with her backhand on her mouth.

The military men: "..."

'My dummy husband is worried about me.' Aarvi thought about Aaron for the unexpected yawn but her response didn't change, "Nope, what if you are a con artist? Where are your badges?" Her first flip of the game.

The man followed her command and showed the card assuming she might cooperate later. Aarvi captured a picture of his badge in a split second before he could take it away, "Who is your chief or captain?" She sent the picture to her team to know their real identities as she didn't know the originality of the badge.

It was off-duty work and a complaint could cause them punishment or suspension. Hence everyone reacted and the man's voice increased significantly, "Miss if you can't..."

Aarvi ignored him and cut in, "Since the case is particularly on me, show me the warrant." Aarvi plainly stated her condition. She was sure the person behind them must have thought she would yield to the military and show all the proof.

If it's Leon Harmon, how is controlling these?

Speak of the criminal.

Leon's car halted on the other side. Aarvi naturally sensed the gaze and caught him ogling at her. His gaze always disgusted her.

She understood the reason behind Leon's actions. He wanted to see her and he was gloating because he created this opportunity and she couldn't stop or change it.

Her mobile beeped. Aarvi knew it was from him so she checked. [The cafe was better. Isn't it?] He meant he wouldn't have done any of it if she had met him in the cafe.

Meanwhile, the military man's face darkened and cued his team members indicating, 'Dead end, no cooperation.'

Aarvi was very sensitive about the hand signals because she trained herself to be cautious. She saw another man stepping towards her.

Her mobile beeped again, [Little Lamb, I won't mind doing a favor.]

She smirked at Leon Harmon who was desperate to play knight in the shining armor when he was the one who put her in it.

Guessing the military men might force her now, Aarvi moved her hand up and flicked her fingers ignoring their oppressing gazes.

She hated violence and she never thought of using security other than the Shadow team. Shawn had insisted on doubling the security so it was a piece of cake for her. Five black cars which were parked aside zoomed-in faster.

The five men in military uniform looked around when a series of boots sounded around them and saw twenty men circling them. They looked no less sturdy and muscular than the military men.

Aarvi simply said, "Take them down, NOW."

Excluding the Shadow team members, the other guards were confused about why she wanted to attack the military men but they had no choice. They have to protect her and serve her at the cost of their life.

Five against twenty, even if military men try to retaliate, They were under control in less than thirty seconds.

"You will pay for this. We are from the military." One still tried to frighten her by taking the military name assuming she thought of them as con artists.

Aarvi's serene look changed to a sweet girl with a foxy mask by blinking eyelids, "Really? I will make sure whoever ordered you will pay for this." She gave a sweet smile that nowhere matched her threat.

The military men thought she might take them to someplace and beat them, it would add another crime to her list. Leon too thought the same. Unfortunately, they were wrong.

"Let's go to the police station." She cheerfully said as if she was going to an amusement park full of wonderful rides.

The guards gave her a confused look so she resolved it, "They are con artists." She had everything recorded in the car dashboard camera, her men taking control to protect her from the con artists. Not everyone will know the difference between real and fake badges anyway.

Now the military men understood she was truly a crafty woman. They just wanted to search her car and check her identity card but they ruined themselves.

The guards understood as they were con artists trying to kidnap her. So they mercilessly dumped the military men in their car.

The Shadow team were used to her schemes and from her wicked smile, they were sure those men weren't con artists. Alex cued the rest of the Shadow team to disperse as he opened the driving seat door for her.

Leon witnessed everything. From everyone's reaction, he could point out, she had five bodyguards who kept their distance to give her privacy while they protected her. The other fifteen were arranged for today hence they were slightly slow to cope up with her speed and commands.

He watched Aarvi get into her black SSC Tuatara. Instead of going between other cars for safety, she led them. He wasn't expecting Aarvi to play in her way. Even he wouldn't dare to offend the military men openly.

He recalled her actions and a vile smirk appeared on his handsome face. He knew she wasn't just a need for his body or attraction to his eyes anymore, he was obsessed with everything about her. He didn't care about his hatred towards her for the past three years, he wanted to have her.

Aarvi drove the car to the station where her employees were detained so that she doesn't have to waste time at different stations.

Her car appearance was enough for the crowd to make way for her as they couldn't afford to take responsibility for a single scratch on it.

The station was filled with men and was in chaos until everything was taken care of one after the other.

Meanwhile, Aarvi spoke to the employees with Dax. They were shocked to know President Evans personally came to speak with them, so each one supported the cops for further investigation.

After forty minutes

Charlotte was edgy in her base camp. She was sitting with her team after their routine evening workout when she got the call from Leon.

She had turned on the speaker to let her team know who gave her the evidence and why she had submitted it to Major Louis who ultimately punished her.

The situation turned around and her whole team believed Leon's words. The senior officers stopped the young blood but as soon as the senior officers left, they went to try their luck while Charlotte had stayed behind.

Her mobile suddenly rang and she grabbed hoping to be everything alright but her heart fell to her stomach looking at the caller, 'Major Louis.'

She hesitantly answered the call. The furious voice of her chief immediately sounded on the other end, [What the freaking hell is going on, Charlotte? I had thought you were smart and you are proving me wrong again and again. Our xxx complete team members are on the live broadcast of every news channel. How dare you drag the team name down?...]

Charlotte didn't get a chance to speak and the call hung up. Her face was ashen at the realization of her stupidity and the rest of the members' actions, put their whole team at shame.
