Alder jumps in. “Boss Tats stay to my schedule Phoenix five. Boss Hud schedule I travel or stay my house to elder compound at Rescue. I make house to him at Rescue and ABSZ. He like ABSZ ride, towns.”
What the hell is Phoenix five?
Justice throws it to me. ‘Alpha, Bravo, Champion, Guardian and Elan form a Phoenix and ABSZ perimeter.’
Falcon nods for Alder. “I’ll have Mag get it set up.”
Cort is surprised at Alder’s dual residence. “You have a house at Rescue?”
Justice laughs. “He’s been splitting time up there formonths, Boss.”
Cort shakes his head. “Huh. There’s always something happening up there but I thought you were flying over.”
“No time to travel every day. I virtual all meet I can. Boss Anchor, Racks help to me at new lab to Rescue.” The new lab surprises Cort too.
I smile. “Did you find new metal and better ways to charge?”
He nods. “Boss Anchor order material I never see, show to me over-sea supply. I have meet to ABSZ IT then Alpha, Pres Cort. You add question to list?”
“I’ll add anything I need answers for. Before you go, where’s the ship meet and why do you need a week?” Cort is easy with it but has a million questions.
Alder drops his chair down and lifts his little backpack. “Robot meet. Pres Jordan plan meet I give demonstrate. I need Boss Hud learn schedule, preference, work I do he can talk. I send chemical strand to Boss Copper, Pres Zeke. Later, Preses. Zeus, Protect.” He runs out with the Protector K9 following.
Cort tries hiding his surprise. Justice laughs.
Falcon shakes his head. We all do the same things and have become very predictable.
“He’s ready today, Boss. I can send him to Bravo. A day with Tats should clue him in to Alder movements and rationale.” I throw out.
“He has a robot meet?” Cort asks.
I smile. “Yeah. They’re making more affordable service-oriented robots that BI will sell. BSC North has dinner cruise ships that use their robots now. They’re working great. The California Club has a guy that runs a cruise and saw a video showing the Prince’s ship.”
He nods clamping down his questions and looks at Falcon. “Get Tats scheduled or shadowing with Hud. Alder hasthe house on the ABSZ for him, make sure Stan knows he’s going to hit up there. You’ll need a team for him out of BSC area. Find out where the meet is and have two full teams ready, one based out of Sentinel, the other Bravo. For the robot meet, get him in a Club to sleep. I’ll get Ranger readied for aerial to follow wherever he goes and Brinks to coordinate for Jordan.”
I smile at Justice. Alder isn’t sleeping at a Club.
Falcon isn’t laughing but he wants to. “Roger, Boss. I’ll meet you for lunch.” He walks out and Cort follows. “Get him to Bravo today, Zeke. Thanks, Brothers.” Falcon knows he’s stopping a million questions from Cort. I love the Brother.
I smile right out when the door closes. Cort isn’t surprised by much. He’s always clued in to Alder’s movements. “He’s surprised?”
Justice stands. “Yeah. Girard does fine with Alder. This works well.”
I saw it too. “Yeah. Do you need anything from me and did you see the cruise?” Visions came in waves last night but that one can’t be allowed, I think as I walk to the door with him.
“I did. They’ll be safe,” he says aloud, then throws directly to me so it’s not on a camera or picked up on audio. ‘Teller is getting it to Citiali to cover our asses just in case.’
This is good and relieves me. He nods again so I push him away. “Go to work.”
He opens the door but is gone when I go through.
Fuckin’ Brothers need to cover their disappearances better than that. I guess Alder is going on a cruise. I send it to Mucimi since Justice has Citiali on it, we’ll need help wherever we can get it for this one. At least we’re not planning another Club for an unprepared Brother. Cort is rough with the Protectors he finds. He wants them all as Presidents. Some day we’ll run out of reasons for Clubs. I smile, then we’re looking for hobbies according to Alder.
