Cort draws my attention. “Justice will work with Done to get a book of protocols for you to start. The training is yours to write. I give Protectors the leeway to work their way. Use that. Keylan, Anchor and Racks may be a help. Ask questions of the Officers who show and Mag, Justice, Alder, for anything left. Me and Raid are always available.”
I shake my head. “I’m VP, right?”
He nods. “You’re a VP like Ranger, MB, Keylan and Teller. You can all be Presidents but have more of the Protect Pres personality and traits. Steve Knight is a good example but I wouldn’t throw out Ranger, MB, Keylan or Tellers advice. Done isn’t military and doesn’t have your experience but he’s freaky. The pairing was important to someone and I’m not throwing it out since Teller pointedly said it. My Protectors need me to protect them. You are part of my solution as VP of the Liminal Rising Club.”
Everyone privy to the room laughs. I throw him chin. “I’m honored, Boss.”
“Go, we’ll settle the details and Alder will send it in the chat.”
“Wait. I’m still at Honor on Asa’s detail, right?” My ol’ lady needs some details to be okay with this.
I watch Cort’s eyes bounce to the right. “I’m told that’s for another month. You like the Lab work and have knowledge that Copper, Stella and Web need to balance the production of more energy.” He sounds like he’s reading a book.
She smiles. “They already asked me about nuclear. I’m okay with the work but not full time. Stella said she can give me work-like jobs.”
Cort puts his hand out like he wants someone else to answer.
LP answers sort of. “Boss Teller Barney explain.”
Teller does. “He said that’s right but you like the bounce and have more to add to Badass. Asa will be at Honor once the bots and AI are integrated in the West Clubs. Part of the Security solution for Alpha-Bits is keeping them on Club grounds. The new technology opened to more area will do that.”
I look at my girl. “I’ll be a fixer too?” She smiles.
“Yeah, I don’t know what the hell he was getting at.” Cortsmiles when Justice answers.
“What they said. Go do you. Prospects will move your shit tomorrow. Justice will have Done stop for you on his way over to the Club and you’ll get a heads up for the time.”
“Roger, Boss. Later, Bosses.” I get the hell out. Keylan follows us.
“That was long but a normal crazy for here.” He checks his watch.
It felt long but was only thirty minutes. My girl, a bed and no interruptions is all I’m looking for right now.
A siren goes off.
“Fuck.” Keylan must have had the same idea.
“Stabilization, Rescue, build and Security three teams. Medics and supplies for massive earthquake and tremor causing rockslides.” The speaker says.
I stop when Keylan answers his phone. “Level, A&R and mine. Hold on, Pres.”
He looks at me. “Rescue? Level’s short an engineer that worked frontline.”
Sophia squeezes my hand and drops it. “Go, I’ll see if I can help Firefly.” Firefly is jogging our way.
I nod for Keylan. “I got it covered.”
“Get gear, Ops readied.” Keylan runs to catch up to the ol’ ladies. I run to the house for gear.
My plan gets set on the shelf for now.
