“How bad is it?” Savannah stopped me in the kitchen after our morning
meeting had run several hours over. “It must be bad, because Frank’s
assistant has called me three times wanting to know if Cole has signed off on
the paperwork yet.”
“It’s bad.” I warmed my hands around my mug and wondered how
quickly we could make things happen. “Frank said his intel should be
providing an update soon. Regardless, the Cartel numbers are growing fast,
and it’s impossible to keep up. What’s happened to Captain Brent can’t be
ignored. It’s a wakeup call that we need to step up our game.”
“Agreed.” She leaned against the counter with a sigh. “I know Cole is
nervous of changing the dynamics of the house, but what other moves do we
have?”
I couldn’t help but smile at how she looked at things. She reminded me so
much of Sue at times. It was always our problem, never just the team’s
problem.
“I don’t think it’s so much nerves as it is just a lot. Between Shadows and
Dusk, there have been a lot more plates to juggle than there used to be. Cole’s
focus is split in too many different directions, and bringing in another team to
live here and train under Blackstone, well, it’s a big decision to make. The
way Shadows has been run for years now works well, but a new team will be
less stress on Blackstone, that’s for sure.”
“You’re right,” she nodded, “it really will.”
“We’re not getting any younger, Savannah,” I smiled, “and the Cartels
are not only increasing in number, but they’re getting smarter and more
sophisticated all the time. I’m all for the idea of Blackstone training another
team, though. We really need the help.”
“Me too.” She leaned her arms on the island and bent over, taking a deep
breath. “I’d always thought that once The American was removed from the
picture, it would give us all breathing room, but clearly, I was wrong.”
“The use of fear builds an army quicker than anything else, and most of
those poor people don’t have much of a choice. Once they’ve been
approached by the Cartel, they either accept the role forced on them or they
or their family could face death.”
“It’s sick.” She rubbed her face.
“What’s sick?” Olivia asked as she dropped her bookbag on the counter
and looked at the two of us. “Grandpa, are you sick?” Her eyes bored into
mine, and a fine line of worry, very similar to her mother’s, appeared
between her eyes.
“No, dear, it’s just about work.”
“Oh, yeah, did Daddy sign the papers yet?”
“How do you know about that?” Her mother shook her head.
“Mom, I’m a Logan. There’s not much I don’t know about what goes on
in this house.” She pulled out her binder. “If I’m going to run this place
someday, I need to be in the know. So,” her dark eyes took in both of us as
she raised her pencil as though to take notes, “why is everyone looking
stressed out?”
“No one is stressed.”
