 ~Owens POV~

She is so beautiful. I couldn't be more proud of her. I know she will handle this with grace and poise. But I can see the fire barely banked in her eyes. She is angry. Very angry. Its time we set this board straight. I have watched over the last couple months where they have made us almost unavailable to my girl. Keeping us so busy we hardly have time to sleep let alone love our girl. We have taken her on jobs with us just to spend time with her. And intimacy God it feels like its been forever since I had time for that. But its going to stop. We are a family and as the academy taught us. Family is first!

My teams walks quietly down the hall behind Miss. Sorenson and myself to the meeting room. I knock an wait for a reply. 

"Enter."

As we file slowly into the room I take a moment to look over the board.

Uncle is sitting at the end with a passive expression. Mrs Rose is beside him. She smiles slightly at me. At 65 she is still beautiful. Next is Mrs. Constance Fulbright. Dr.Roberts nods to me. Mr. Conrad Allen's is next. He is a wild card at these meetings. He is a Gohst Dog. Mr. Simon Denning is next. He's 45 and tense. And last but not least we have Mr. Henry Anderson. He gives us a wink and turns to the rest of the board.

"This is highly irregular. My Blackbourne I hope you have a good reason for calling a meeting at 11:30 at night." I turn to face Constance. I say nothing and just stare at her. The board already knows why we called a meeting. She begins to squirm in her chair.

"Let them get sat down Constance. We are all family. Right?" Dr. Roberts says tightly. As he grins at her I see that he isn't happy with her.

"Can we get the introductions out of the way. I'm sure your little bird would like to know who everyone is. Sang I am Mr. Henry Anderson." I see her eyes light up. We have discussed Mr. Anderson and his team before.

"Hello love I'm Simon Denning." Mr. Denning is always very flirtatious but he needs to calm it down before North blows a Gasket!

"Conrad Allen" Sang nods to him then glances at me "Ghost Dog" I mouth to her. She gives a slight nod and turns back to the table.

"Hello again little bird. Dr roberts ." Dr. Roberts smiles at Sang and I see her relax.

"Mrs. Constance Fulbright." She looks like a prune but Sang just nods and smiles politely . That's my girl!

"Hello Miss. Sorenson. Its lovely to finally get to meet you. I am Mrs. Lacey Rose." 

"Hello Mrs. Rose."

"Hello Sang."

"Hello Uncle." When he speaks to her I glance to the boys. I have to give North a look. He needs to sit down and stay calm.

"Owen would you like to start?" Mrs. Rose asks.

"Who ordered that Sang be alone?"

There is silence. The board is looking at each other. 

"What do you mean Owen? She wasn't alone. That's against the rules."

"Yes I understand that. However I must ask again who ordered Sang to be alone?"

"I'm not understanding. I have the report right here. Sean was taken from the home but Victor.."

"I did!" Constance looks at me with a venomous expression.

"Constance what is the meaning of this? You know the rules." Mr. Denning objects loudly.

The board errupts. Everyone speaking over everyone else till finally Mr Allen stands up.
