He didn’t mind being called that. It was all in good fun, and in all fairness, he was the youngest member of the VC unit.
“He gets an office because he has to be harassed by Elizabeth non-stop for a profile, and work with me when I’m cranky.”
Alex sighed.
“Pass. I like running my own case without being watched by the head-shrinker and Elizabeth.”
Yeah, he figured as much.
“Feel free to fight over it,” Blackhawk said, letting them annoy each other, as he texted his brother back.
‘I’m calling him now. This should go over like a huge lead balloon. Wish me luck.’
After sending his reply to his brother, Ethan pulled out his phone and called The President of the United States.
It took a few minutes to be connected to the Oval Office, so he headed down to his personal workspace, and sat behind his desk.
Honestly, he liked his office, and a part of him was still thinking about staying here.
Would they?
He wasn’t sure.
Did he feel like he needed to be here?
Yes.

When he heard the phone click, he knew Gabe was finally answering the call.
“Hey, Ethan. Miss me yet?” Gabe asked, amused that they were already contacting him.
It made him laugh.
“Uh, sure. If that’s why you think I’m calling you,” he said, clueing him in that there was a reason for reaching out on the first day.
And as per usual, it wasn’t a good reason.
Not.
At.
All.
“We need to talk,” he said to his friend.
Immediately, Gabe sighed.
“What happened? What did my daughter do? Did she kick someone’s ass while hormonal? Did Elizabeth burn something down? Tell me it’s fixable because I have enough on my plate at the moment.”
He actually laughed.
