ANDY MILES

Awake

Ryan was settled deep into the office papers. Pissed and tired.

The presidency visitation to the city had taken them unawares and the presidential suite had be prepared.

The frequent meetings with the security boards and the promotional managers had everyone on edge, more to that was dealing with a Marcia servant who had found his way into their land. The thought of it made him scoff each time. He really thought he could by-pass the lands of Blood Sea Pack. That was quite intriguing. Meanwhile he was dead.

Jace had the satisfaction of killing him.

Pulling the receiver back to the switch hook, Jace pulled on a long look. He glanced at his watch, it was some minutes past 4. It's been approximately 9 hours and 25 minutes stuck on a couch, replying emails, receiving calls, dealing with stupid humans who can't do their job well and monitoring the stock market index. He was officially tired.

Damn the President for visiting.

He threw his back to the seat and puffed out loudly. Ryan had refused to look up when his whines had begun but Jace unashamedly was asking for his attention and he did give it to him. Jace wanted it, this was it.

"What do I owe such noise Brown?"

Jace made a face as he drew near and flipped the open file in front of him, closed. He raised his gaze

"I'm tired Ryan. We might as well take a break"

Ryan had his eyes back to the papers and spoke

"We are almost done here. The president will be leaving by morning"

"I know that but whatever, I'm taking a break. I'm starving"

Jace stood on his feet and in lazy strides was out the door. Ryan heard the closed bang of the door and tugged a smile. Jace had made it loud enough. The bastard really could act like a woman. Emma had his earnest prayers.

It was a few minutes later and Jace was grumbling back into the room

Ryan looked up, a knitted brow showing he was displeased. Jace couldn't give a damn at that moment.

He leaned on the closed door with a frown.

"Where the fuck did you leave your phone man?"

Ryan quirked a brow up and took his eyes down, his hands travelled into the suit jacket where he got out his phone. 7 missed calls from Usella.

"Usella said she wants to talk to you about something urgent"

"Don't tell me your dumb ass didn't get the problem out from her mouth"

Jace scowled and continued.

"I asked and she said, you had to know first"

Ryan raised his chin and narrowed his eyes. His mind wondered into the mind link and Usella was of no reach. 7 missed calls from her wasn't ordinary and Usella wasn't a calling type either. She had only one person to take care of at this point and that was.....

Ryan was up on his feet that second. His heart raced as he closed down the laptop and picked up a file. Jace mirrored his eyes at him as he stepped away from the door.

"What is it?"

"Andy"

Jace worried eyes was relaxed for a second there and then the worried lines appeared again when the thought of all possible sceneries that must have happened. He quickly trailed behind Ryan who was almost at the end of the floor. The elevator door was almost closed when he wringled himself in.
