Page 64 of Seamus: Unconventional
“Brinks said Stella’s family are there. We can go tomorrow. I picked morning so the boys don’t miss the live class with Alexia.”
She nods looking let down. “I’m meeting with Copper for the results of blood tests.”
I stand seeing women coming this way. “See if she can meet you at Alpha. Everything is on hologram boards. She can explain it anywhere.”
“I will.” She pulls my shirt almost tipping me over.
I push off the table thinking a kiss to my lips was never a cause for embarrassment but that one could have been. My hand almost landed in a tray of that smelly cheese and avocado shit the partners like. It stinks to high heaven.
The Brothers claimed a table closer to the pool so I sit there glad there’s no avocado shit in sight.
“Seamus!”
I don’t sit long. I’m up and smiling at Vinny. “Yeah, Bud.”
“Benny is taking us all to the Vision. Can Gonzo and Fairy go?” The smile and yell has nothing to do with me.
“Yep. Shadow and Light are with the new partners.” He didn’t ask if he can go. It would be yes because Benny is the best dad fourth I could ask for. He’s got Shadow and Light to fight position for, but they’ve been with me longer than Benny was with the boys and Leon.
He nods knowing this already. “Only Gonzo and Fairy want to go. The rest are staying with the new guys or watching the hooch movie.” Hooch is moonshine. Partners and moonshine could be fun.
I just nod having no idea what he’s talking about. As soon as he’s down, he’s running the other way. I send Fairy an order getting a roger back.
Mark laughs walking with Izzy. “He’s a bobble. Kristos and Blackhawks kids are going so they have Security.”
I nod smiling. “Glad that’s your first thought and I have Fairy on him. The partners are going this weekend for fun.”
“We are too. Little Brothers set it up so every park will have us there. Can we go to Alpha.”
I laugh. “Tomorrow morning so you don’t miss Alexia’s live class.”
He nods and points behind me. I see it from Izzy. Cort, Falcon, Ranger and Jack. “Bosses.” I say as I turn getting a surprised look, then a laugh. Another fuckin’ party.
I breathe and sit back down.
“Do you send everything in the chip?” Ranger surprises me.
“No. I talk when I need to. MB, the Enforcer Lead and Freedom don’t need me to manage steps for them.”
He nods. “The chip isn’t recorded.”
I smile understanding where this is going. “Pretty cheeky for you to mention that when Cort is sitting right here.”
Jack and Falcon almost fall over laughing. I shrug at Cort while Ranger is hanging his head.
“That’s the second time I’ve heard you use multiple languages.” Falcon gets me looking back.
The protocols. “I use it to focus my partners. Always the same lineup,German, Brazilian, Bengali, Russian, Greek, French, Arabic is the language protocol. We didn’t use it for the Op today.”
“No, Cort was on with Ben. I didn’t recognize all of them.” Falcon nods when I point to my head. It’s the chip. I’ve told them how it works.
Cort is done with small talk. “So, the General’s plan was moving everything for money by controlling trade routes. It started with the intimidation on the bids but IT found small business protection payments. It wasn’t just trucks.”
I nod. “Control of many businesses means more money from big corporations. Military training always starts with who profits from it. Cut off the money and gain control of areas. In other countries we give that back to the people or we’re supposed to.”
His head is agreeing with me. “Huh. You knew it right from the beginning.”
“I did, Boss, but it’s been my job for years.”
