Aiden shot his last bullet and he looked at his nearly-perfect score that averages 9.96 out of 10 as the announcer was making it official: Aiden won.
The margin was huge since the second-ranked had an average of 9.2 which is still a very good score considering that they are mercenaries and not Olympians, but Aiden scored wonderfully.
His lips stretched into a devilish smile and he closed his eyes while trying to distinguish Sarah's cheers from others.
Two seconds later, Aiden frowned. Why can't he hear Sarah's usual 'whoo-hoo' cheers? The crowd is loud, but Sarah makes sure she stands out… or his ears are tuned to pick out her voice. Something is off.
Aiden skimmed with his eyes over the audience and something jolted inside him when he realized that he can't see Sarah. She would never leave.
Aiden saw Sarah before he started shooting, and then he focused on the competition, just how Sarah told him to do, and this… where is she?
