angry firestorm was churning deep in his soul. He cursed again, only this time out loud. “I’m sure that they are trying to place cells inside every company building and every laboratory around the world.”
“I thought that you took care of those cells last year,” Troy said, his gaze sweeping over Sebastian’s anxious face.
Sebastian swore again. “That is what I thought, but Interpol dropped the ball last year. They failed,” he snapped and shifted in his seat. “They were supposed to get to the man who created this issue, but they never did.” The tone of his voice was held disgust. “Nathan and I spent five weeks removing every mole from every building around the globe. Our security is unbreakable, but I was sure they would find another way, and they might have.” Sebastian’s concern was evident.
“Who was the man on the phone?” Troy asked.
“Oh, that was Dylan Jamison, the head of the British intelligence. He is a nice guy but not very dynamic. Nathan and I met him last year, and we actually handed him several of the men involved in last year’s incident. We never heard anything about the outcome.”
“Are we going to meet with him soon?” Troy asked.
“Not exactly. We have to wait. Dillon said he is in the process of gathering important documentation. He has set up some kind of surveillance, and he’ll let me know as soon as he has all the necessary data,” Sebastian said. “I’ll call Nathan to make sure that he keeps an eye for anything strange that might come up.”
Troy knew that Sebastian was upset. “We have to concentrate on Ian and Eva right now, don’t you think?”
Sebastian looked back at him and nodded in agreement. “I don’t want you to worry about my business. You need to spend time with Gabrielle. She needs you right now; Nathan and I can handle anything that might come up.” Reaching over, Sebastian patted Troy on the back. A smile crept slowly over Troy’s lips.
“I think we are going to have our hands full with Ian and Eva tonight.”
“Yes, you’re right, but we’ll handle it,” Sebastian grumbled.
Chapter 7
T roy had placed a called to Ian earlier in the day from the hospital. He had asked him if he could meet with Sebastian and him to discuss something very important.
“Are you both okay?” Ian had asked, his curiosity elevated.
“Yes, we’re fine, but we need to talk, and it can’t wait.” Troy’s voice had been urgent.
There had been a long silence over the phone, and Ian had finally replied hesitantly. “I don’t understand. It sounds like something is terribly wrong.”
“Ian, we must talk, and we would prefer that Eva is not present. Can we come and pick you up?” Troy had asked, urgently.
After another long pause, Ian had asked, “When?”
“I’m at the hospital with Gabrielle, but when I leave here, I’ll go pick up Sebastian, and we’ll swing by your place,” he had said.
“Sure, come on over around seven,” Ian had replied. Troy couldn’t see the tension in Ian’s body, but he could sense it in his voice.
Troy and Sebastian drove to Ian’s house feeling extremely anxious and apprehensive. They tried to design an all-encompassing plan on how to navigate through the next chapter of the issue. They were not sure of how they would be able to eliminate much of Ian’s anxiety and stress while he received the details of the accident. How were they going to explain to Ian what happened that night? How could they tell him he was going to be a different person when he woke up tomorrow?
“Troy, for someone who fears no one and nothing on this earth, I must say that I’m a little nervous about this. How about you?” Sebastian’s voice was somewhat strained as his gaze swept over Troy’s worried face.
“I’ve been anxiously waiting for this moment,” Troy said. “I’ve no choice. You know by tomorrow evening, it’ll all become completely evident to both Eva and Ian.”
Sebastian nodded in agreement.
“I’m
