Another short one… Sorry all who like the longer chapters, this is another short and quick one… but more action is coming soon I promise! As usual…not mine…
Larry is yet again back in his office working hard on is plans. Carla, Larry's head of security enters the room. "Carla." Larry greets her.
"Sir." Carla responded.
Larry gestures her over to stand by his desk. "As head of security of all Florin Corp, I trust you with this secret: Killers from Guilder are infiltrating the Assassins' Forest and plan to murder my partner on the night of the contract signing."
Carla looks at him, clearly surprised. "My spy network has heard no such news."
Fiona quietly enters the office. "Any word from Michael?"
"Too soon, my angel. Patience." Larry answers, appearing startled by her sudden appearance.
Fiona raises her chin a bit defiantly and replies to Larry with confidence as she walks back out the door. "He will come for me."
"Of course." Larry responds distractedly as he turns back to Carla. "She will not be murdered! On the day of the signing, I want the Assassins' Forest emptied and every inhabitant arrested!
Carla looks distressed at the proclamation. "Many of the assassins will resist. My regular security enforcers will be inadequate.:
"Form a brute squad then!" Larry snapped in one of his lightning quick flashes of rage. "I want the Assassins' Forest emptied before I sign that contract."
"It won't be easy, Sir." Carla replied, trying to placate him.
Larry snaps back at her sarcastically. "Try ruling the world sometime."
