Industries should get any more or less. “Well, I
could have saved you both a lot of trouble.” She tapped her
briefcase. “I have all of the maintenance records right here.”
“Are they current?”
“As of a few months ago?”
Stanley rubbed the back of his neck. “Gunnar doesn’t usually waste my
time, so he must have had a good reason. But those would have helped
yesterday that’s for sure.”
Cassie smiled at the thought of someone besides her being in the dark as far as
Gunnar was concerned for a change. “I’m sure he was just being
thorough.” She explained, not wanting to bad mouth him in front of an
employee, no matter how fed up she was. “Of course, it does bring up an
important issue.”
Stan raised his brows.
“Since those planes have belonged to me for a number of years, it stands to
reason that I probably know more about them at this point than anyone else in
the company, including Gunnar. But if you’re going to be taking on this
job, I’d be happy to sit down with you and go over the performance and
maintenance records, as well as put you in touch with the man who’s been
previously working on my planes for the last six years.
“That would be great,” Stan reached
out, eagerly taking the card she offered him. “Then I could really be
some help to you. Instead of re-checking work that’s already been done.”
Between the fact that he wasn’t a fan of stunt flying, and was the first person
to show her any sign of normal respect, Stanley was fat becoming one of
Cassie’s favorite people. She pointed to the card. “His name’s
Jonathan Brown, and he’s a wizard with commuter planes. I tried to get
him to relocate here with me, but he likes the Pacific Northwest too much to
leave it. He’ll help you with anything you need if you tell him it
concerns Leisure Time.”
Stan pocketed the card and reached for her hand. “Thank you so much for
the opportunity. I’ll make sure you don’t ever regret it.”
Cassie didn’t know anything about him, but she knew he was telling the
truth. “Oh.” Cassie stopped him before he could drive off. “Don’t
bother calling Jonnie right away. He’ll be down here in a few days to do
some work I need on the Twin Commander, and I’ll make sure I leave him you’re
name.”
“Sounds good.” He
smiled. “I’ll make sure I’m available if he needs any help.”
Cassie nodded and watched him drive away. “I’m sure he will need help,”
she spoke out loud, and felt almost guilty about the bold new business move she
was about to make. She would have been more than willing to let her new
partners in on it ahead of time, but Gunnar had made it perfectly clear he
didn’t care what she did one way or the other, and Wes... Well she’d been in
town for almost a week, and still hadn’t even laid eyes on him. There was
no going back now, she sighed as she walked back to her car. The only thing
worse in her mind than a partner hell bent on going it alone was one who
couldn’t even be bothered to be around.
Cassie was more than a little wound up as she pulled over to what she hoped was
her last destination of the evening. She leaned over to pick up the file
Andrew had given her on the so called company merger, flipping through it till
she found the paper documenting the duplex purchase Wes had made. She
double checked to make sure the address she was parked in front of was the same
one listed on the document, before getting out of her car to get a closer
look. “Well Wes, I hope the front office manager wasn’t lying when she
said you weren’t saving this apartment for
