| abstract | - Consequently, Jonas Bledsoe was willing to commit Berkut personnel to the "babysitting" task of protecting his daughter when he was on a business trip to the United States. To this end, Jaime Sommers was assigned to protect Heaven from a suspected threat. Because von Fleet had sold weapons to the Bosnians, certain unspecified Serb factions were angry with him. His fears that their anger would jeopardize his daughter proved justified when Serbs attacked Heaven in a nail salon. His relationship with his daughter was stormy. He described her as "a bit high-spirited" to Jaime, but he was clearly being diplomatic. In fact, she showed no respect for him or the guidelines he had set down. Following the attack — in which Jaime successfully prevailed against the Serbs — Heather was returned to her father in a much more appreciative state. Stripped of the bravado of youthful rebellion, the core bond between father and daughter appeared a strong one. ("Sisterhood")
