have a problem. I already called Nathan and we are meeting him Monday morning in my office. Can you come over today? I’d like to go over a few things with you before Monday.”
    “How about meeting for lunch?” Troy asked. Sebastian turned to Arielle to make sure it was okay with her.
    “Ask them to come and have lunch at the beach. It is a beautiful day, quite warm for this time of the year. I’ll make lunch for Gabby and myself,” Arielle suggested. Sebastian gave her a peck on the nose as he heard Troy agree.
    “We should be there in about a half an hour,” he said, and the phone went dead.
     
     
    Arielle picked up her book and walked into the kitchen. She proceeded to make a few small sandwiches for Gabby and herself. She put some sodas in a cooler. When Gabby arrived they walked down to the beach, leaving the guys alone to talk. They loved spending time at the beach even on cool days just as they did when they were young. Words couldn’t describe the feeling that consumed them walking on the soft sand in the crisp air, the waves crashing on the shore. They took a long, leisurely walk while they discussed their problems in the most amusing way. They finally decided to sit down and have some lunch. Gabby took two sandwiches and a soda pop, and averted her gaze out at the beautiful blue waters. Arielle looked at Gabby’s disappearing sandwiches and giggled.
    “Hungry, are you?”
    “Sure, I always get hungry at the beach, don’t you? And these are really good!” she said, pointing at her mouth full of food.
    “Do you want another one?” Arielle asked as she took another bite out of her own sandwich, still laughing.
    “It isn’t funny, Arielle! Even if I did want another, I wouldn’t say yes. Look at you! Laughing at me for being hungry,” she shouted, frowning playfully.
    “Gabby, I’m not laughing because you had two sandwiches, I’m laughing because it took you exactly two seconds to make them disappear.” She broke out into a hearty laugh, and Gabby joined in. They looked out into the ocean and attempted to take in every little detail of the amazing view. They watched boys on their surfboards waiting in the distance to catch a wave.
    “Don’t you think is a bit cold to be doing that today?” Arielle asked, and shivered as the crisp air brushed against her skin. Gabrielle agreed. They laughed joyfully, delighting in their easy companionship.
     
     
     

Chapter 6
     
    SEBASTIAN TOOK TROY into the study and they sat down to talk. Each held a glass of salve, but neither were drinking.
    “So, what did Dylan say?” Troy asked.
    “The scums from Russia are on the move again. They have bigger and better plans for taking down our company. Dylan says they have upped their game to a dangerous level.”
    “What exactly do you mean when you say they have upped their game?” Troy asked, puzzled.
    “Dylan says they intercepted a conversation between Alexie, the boss, and his boys. They were discussing the different methods they were going to use this time around to make sure they succeed.”
    “And what did they say?”
    “He said that they are ready to go after me, my family, and the people I love. Extortion comes to mind along with murder.”
    Troy stiffened at the words but remained unruffled.
    “So…have you got any ideas as to what you’re going to do about this? You know we can handle these guys, don’t you?”
    “I haven’t come up with a plan, but I’ve no doubt that we can handle anyone who comes our way. However, I do have to wait for Dylan to get back to London. He’s in Brussels, and should be back next week. He has documentation and photos that he wants to share with us. I want you, Nathan, and myself to get together on Monday, and come up with some solutions or at least a few scenarios. What do you think about that?”
    “I’m in, whatever the issue is, I’m in,” Troy said. “I think we should call on the guys if we find out that we need more people.”
