my
kids. Now that they’re old enough to take care of themselves, I don’t have
anything else.”
“Bullshit, man.”
Alex bellowed, sitting forward in his chair, resting his elbows on the table.
“You know that’s a load of shit, Dylan. You’ve got Stacey and Nate, Xavier,
Ashleigh. Every one of them depends on you. Needs you.”
“I get it.”
Alex knew he
wasn’t telling Dylan anything he didn’t know already, but when it came to CISS,
he needed to take it to the next level. Bringing on Samantha and now Cole meant
they were equipped to branch out. Something Alex had dreamed of. And he wanted
Dylan to be part of that.
“Cole accepted
my offer,” Alex said, changing to a less sensitive subject. “He’s officially
onboard starting next week.”
“That’s great
news.” Dylan stated, picking at the label on his beer bottle. “I think he’s
just what we need to help divert some of the strain off of you. And yes, I know
I need to do more.”
Alex wanted to
hear how Dylan planned to do that.
The waiter
interrupted, bringing their food and offering them a brief reprieve. Alex took
the opportunity and let Dylan breathe for a minute.
When Alex
finished, in record time no doubt thanks to not eating that morning, he pushed
his plate away and downed more of his second beer. “What’s your plan?” He
prompted.
Dylan pushed his
plate away, then leaned back in his chair, propping his elbow on the empty
chair beside him. “Since the residential security services are growing
astronomically, I think I’m going to focus on that. I’ve got some ideas, and I
want to bring on a couple of people – sales people.”
Alex noted the
renewed interest in his partner’s eyes. Dylan needed something to focus on and
bringing him onboard had been one of the best decisions he’d made. Once Dylan
took off, there would be no stopping him, Alex knew.
Dylan continued
before Alex could contribute. “We’ve got all the installers we need, and I want
to hire someone to manage them, but I need some folks driving sales. What do
you think?”
“I think this is
the reason I wanted you to go in business with me, man. You’ve got great ideas
and the direction you’re going is one I wish I had time for before now. Do you have
any candidates for the sales positions?”
“I’ve got one.
Guy named Jake. I went to school with his aunt. If you know of anyone, send
them my way. I’d like to get them hired by the end of next week if possible.”
Dylan’s voice had gained a significant amount of confidence.
“I’ve got a
couple, actually.” Alex added.
This was the
Dylan Thomas he had known before his wife had succumbed to cancer eight long
years ago. The man who stopped at nothing to accomplish his goals. The man who
was like the Energizer bunny… kept on going because each idea was bigger and
better than the one before.
“Alex, I want to
thank you.” Dylan interrupted Alex’s thoughts, surprising him.
“For what?” Alex
asked. “I should be apologizing –”
“Don’t.” Dylan
stated adamantly, his tone containing none of the laid back country boy that
Alex was used to. “I needed this. I need to get on with my life. Moving was the
first step, which I can thank my sister for. Speaking of…”
Oh shit . Alex hadn’t
expected the sudden topic change, and he wasn’t quite ready to talk to Dylan
about his little sister.
“I’ve heard you
and Ashleigh are seeing each other.” The laid back, country drawl was present
once again. Alex wasn’t deceived by his friend any more than he was by Xavier
when he pulled the same stunt.
“We’re seeing
each other.” Confirming Dylan’s statement, Alex wasn’t willing to go further.
“Trust me, man. You don’t have to warn me off of her. I’ve been doing it for
years. I can only promise you that I won’t intentionally hurt her. As for
anything else, I don’t know, but I’m going to see where it goes.”
Dylan laughed,
