Page 65 of Chaos has a Name
Oh, well, he’d take it and be more than happy to be in it. His office was literally right next to Elizabeth’s space, and he wanted to stick close.
Since Ethan was no longer a director, Callen had leapfrogged over him to get the primo office space.
“I can work with this,” he said, meaning the bathroom they’d share, and the big comfortable space. “It’s a great view,” he admitted. “I get to be right next to the boss. I’d better behave,” he joked.
Oh, Ethan was amused.
At one time, he’d enjoyed having his wife right next to him. He could cut through their shared bathroom and access her anytime.
Now, he’d have to head to her space from his down the hall. There was no doubt why Callen was excited.
“Ahhhh, how some of us have downgraded, and some of us have upgraded, it seems,” Blackhawk joked.
His brother grinned.
That amused Callen.
To.
No.
End.
“Suck it, Bro. I’m next door to the babe now. You chose to change positions with the FBI. To the victor goes the spoils. I’m patient and won.”
She found that amusing.
Why?
There was no doubt to why Callen absolutely wanted to be next door to her. Her pervy husband had lechery in his eyes, and she wasn’t saying no to that.
NEVER.
Only, she didn’t get to comment. When MATE chimed, Elizabeth focused on Vivian’s tablet.
“Yes, MATE?” she asked.
Her AI assistant shared what was going down, since she’d asked to be kept up to date.
A happy Elizabeth was a calm Elizabeth.
“The private chartered plane and the family jet has landed. Your team is now on the ground and will be heading here to access their new spaces at some point. I can update them with anything if you need me to.”
Okay, well, that worked.
“No, thank you, MATE. They know the routine, and how to get here. They’ll trickle in. Do pass onto them the information on where they’ll be staying. That’s in a file on Ethan’s drive.”
The system chimed.
Well, that was handled.
Elizabeth focused on their administrative assistant, and shared the bad news.
“Vivian, you’re about to be inundated,” she admitted. “I apologize in advance. Most of the people heading here have never worked out of this office. They’ll be asking a lot of you, and I promise, I’ll make it up to you.”
The woman waved her hand to dismiss that. After all, it was her job.
“No worries, Elizabeth. My father was a general in the military. My mother ran a tight ship at home with us kids. I can multitask and handle an influx of chaos. That’s the easiest part of my day.”
