Especially after Dave had called him.
That conversation, which Dave put on speaker, had been hilarious.
Before Solomon could do more than say hello, Dave barked out a question.
“Why did you take Ice out of Erebus?” The former SecDef didn’t growl or even sound mean, but something in the powerful man’s voice had the hair on the back of Ice’s neck lifting. He could only imagine what Solomon’s face looked like. Ice stared at Dave’s face, but nothing showed. The former SecDef was very good at keeping his expression blank, his thoughts hidden.
“I just thought…” Solomon’s voice trailed off.
“What did you think? You thought you had sole hiring power over my fucking team?”
“N, no.”
“We won’t have this conversation again, will we?”
“No, sir.”
Ice slapped his hands to his mouth to keep from laughing and Dave placed a finger against his own lips meaning—keep your mouth shut.
“Anything else you’d like to tell me?” Dave asked.
After a moment of silence, Solomon finally spoke. “I hired a few new men if you’d like to look them over.” The man’s voice sounded relieved.
“I’ll be in your office tomorrow around fifteen hundred.” Dave ended the call.
Ice scratched at his chin and then pulled the tie from his hair. He caught up the strands and retied them.
“I thought you and Solomon were tight?”
“We are, but lately…we’re not.”
“What do you mean?”
“Nothing you need to worry about,” Dave smiled.
Another incoming text brought his attention back to the big bedroom and his phone.
Stone: “Well?”
With a sigh, he rolled to his stomach and responded half-jokingly.
Ice: “Pick me up.”
Stone: “Be there in twenty.”
Why was Stone so close to Dave’s place?
Ice: “Where’s the hit?”
Stone: “Nevada, so pack a bag.”
Ice: “Sin City?”
Stone: “Do you really need to ask?”
Ice could just imagine the guy rolling his eyes. He glanced at the time. Shit! Stone would be there soon. Driving and texting was so easy with the voice to text capability.
Launching off the bed, he startled Grit, who was up and ready.
