Today was an important today.
Each group in training had an exam this week. Level 4 students were going to be inducted into 5. This was one of the hardest exams because all of Level 4 doesn't get to move on unless they pass everything.
So far, level 5 has stayed the same group of women and men except for a few who came with me when I became the leader earlier this year.
And on top of that my dear brother was coming back to New York.
I just finished a shower after a rough workout, pulling a short sleeve onto my body when someone knocks on my closed bedroom door.
No one's allowed in without my guards so I knew it could only be one person.
"You ready for today?", Gabriel asks the moment I open the door.
"I have to be. Tell me the agenda." He reads the plan while I head to my dresser to grab my deodorant and cologne.
"...and while the third exam is being performed Luca is arriving here from JFK airport at 2:15pm."
"Who's bringing him here?"
"James."
I nod, grabbing my jacket and heading to my kitchen to grab some cold water.
"Then you have a meeting with him at 3. I'll handle the shipments coming in today."
I pat his shoulder. "Thank you man."
"Ready to go? I have the car out front."
I nod. "I'm driving I need to blow off steam", I say heading to the front door.

My first stop today was visiting the Level 5's.
When they catch my eye coming in they all stand up, get into a straight line and wait for my instructions. It feels weird knowing they're my age yet they have to show so much respect to me.
I shake it off and stand in the middle of the room. "By tomorrow you will have new additions to the group. I know all of you work hard as a team and I expect no less with the new Level 5 recruits."
They were sparring today and I was to spectate. "Group one go ahead."
I walk to the back of the room and lean my back against the wall. I scan the room and my eyes land on Gabriella. She was wearing our grey sparring outfit and was looking at me as she got her stuff.
My mind was on Luca. I was nervous. He had something that could help us crack our parents case and I was itching to get closer to the truth.
She noticed my unease because she nodded her head up asking me what's wrong. I shook my head and she gave me another look until she went to her spot.
...
45 minutes later I was able to give them their feedback and Gabriel and I drove down to Kiiara's house.

Today was Jordan's first day of training. I wanted to be there to explain and observe.
