333 Surprise Party

333 Surprise Party (Jayden)

I'm planted at the huge double doorway waiting to greet guests as they arrive. Viktor is right behind me. I'm really out of my depth here. I'm a fish out of water. Some sort of imposter.

Hugo, of course, organized a surprise party at my new home. To welcome me as the successor at Nexus. Global. No pressure.

My tuxedo fits like a glove and I'm glad I at least feel up to par with my outfit.

A tall man in full military regalia approaches first. His uniform is dark green, adorned with medals that gleam under the lights, and a ceremonial sword strapped at his side. "Colonel Andreas Lindberg," he says with a curt nod, his Swedish accent sharp and precise. "Representing His Majesty's armed forces." He bows slightly.

"Welcome, Colonel," I manage, shaking his hand. His grip is firm, his eyes sharp.

Behind him, a woman steps forward, regal in every sense of the word. Her gown is deep crimson, flowing with layers of silk.

Her posture is impeccable, chin slightly raised, "Princess Elena of Romania," she says, extending her hand, her voice rich with authority. "It is an honor to meet you."

I nod. The honor is mine, Your Highness."

Next comes an older gentleman, wrapped in a woolen cloak of tartan-a deep green and blue plaid.

The crest of his clan stitched across his chest. "Lord Hamish MacKenzie," he says in a thick Scottish brogue, offering a polite nod. "A pleasure."

I smile, shaking his hand. "Thank you, Lord MacKenzie, Welcome."

A new group approaches, and Viktor leans in, his voice dropping to a whisper. "Be prepared. These are the Saudis."

"Coincidence because I'm as arid as a desert, right now." I quip back quietly.

Victor smirks.

Three men, each wearing flowing white thobes with gold embroidery along the edges, move toward me. Their keffiyehs are tied tightly around their heads, and they move with quiet confidence.
