Fighting Back Chapter 1
Ranger's POV"Yo. ETA?" I asked Tank when he picked up his cell.
"Ten minutes."
"Make it five. I just got a call from Joe Juniak asking for a favor. Need you here. Lester's already been informed and Bobby's still out of commission."
"What kind of favor?" He sounded suspicious. Not that I blame him. Juniak never asks for anything.
"He wants a monitoring system set up for a friend of his. Said the name was Alex Montgomery."
"Silvio doing the background check?"
"Yea, but it wont be done til the meeting is over. He called just before I got a hold of you."
"We're relying on just his word?" I could hear Tank's concern. Too much shit has happened in the past from just relying on someones word.
"This time."
"That wise, Rangeman?"
"I trust Juniak." My tone was final. There was no more discussing it.
"Affirmative." he said.
After hanging up, I called Hal and told him to get Conference Room B ready fast. Alex and Juniak should arrive a few minutes after Tank.
I leaned back in my chair, resting my head against the support, and rubbed my temple in hopes of getting rid of my headache. Its been a long day and its only one o'clock in the afternoon. As soon as this meeting is over with, I'll send Tank and Lester out to do the preliminaries on Alex's grounds so I can go offline for the rest of the day. Its been too long since I've has a few hours just to relax.
Shutting down my computer I made my way to the control room. The usual, light talk stopped completely when I entered the room. Nice to know I haven't lost my touch.
"There's a meeting with Juniak in a few minutes." Just then the elevators opened and Tank walked into the room. "I'm offline afterwards. Talk to Tank if something comes up." Everyone nodded and got back to work. "Lester." I called out, while walking to Tank.
He stood and made his way over to us. "Boss, I don't understand why I have to be at this meeting."
"Just to piss you off Santos. Lets go." Getting on the elevator, we made our way down to the third floor with Lester bitching the whole way.
Just as I opened the door to Conference Room B, Zero buzzed from the front desk saying Juniak and Alex were here. He started to say something else but I cut him off with a simple, "Send them up."
Taking the seat at the head of the table, I made sure all necessary books were laid out on the table. Information, prices, equipment...all here.
Tank took the seat to my left, with Lester left to sit at my right. Lester began to drum his fingers on the table. With a look from me he quickly stopped. Maybe having him here isn't worth the trouble after all. But before I could tell him to get out, the door began to open and Juniak walked in.
At the same time my neck began to prickle. Looking past him, I was blown away by what I saw.
Massive, brown curls that begged to be pulled, surrounded a shapely face. Strong nose, high cheekbones, amazing plump lips adorned her face. Her eyes were covered by large, dark shades.
I didn't know which was better, her face or her body. She had a great hourglass figure. Thin but not a stick. Perfectly shaped and sized breasts were enhanced by the blue v neck shirt she wore. They were real kind too, the ones every woman wishes she could have. The kind you cant buy. Her legs looked long and slender, but hidden beneath tight black pants. Her black, high heeled boots, screamed sex.
She was beautiful. Sexy. A total Babe.
Apparently Lester thought so too. I heard him whisper, "Fuck," as he adjusted himself in his seat.
I felt a wave of anger and jealousy flow over me. I didn't like the way he was looking at her. Christ Manoso, get a grip. Its just a woman. But inside I knew, this was no ordinary woman. I had a feeling I'd find out first hand just how unique and amazing this woman is. And I''ll enjoy every second of it, too.
I looked her over once more.
Oh yeah. I'll definitely enjoy it.
