25.
Charles.
The Cave a few days later...
I found Ryan in his office and after some passionate knocking was let in his office. He didn't seem surprised in the least to see me. Instead he covered whatever he was writing with a piece of paper and looked up, "Can I help you Sgt. Grey?"
I shoved my hands on my pockets.
This was a social visit and all. "You have a man following Victoria and my son around?"
There was no reaction. As if I should not have been surprised or even wasting my breath with such a topic.
"She's my daughter. Why wouldn't I look out for her welfare and the welfare of my grandson?"
I didn't bother to correct him. There was no blood between them. Whatever, I'd seen families with blood ties that weren't as close. "Yeah well, Sarah figured it out. So unless you have more then one spy following them around you're going to have a really moody female on your hands."
Ryan looked back down at his desk, "Not for much longer. I wouldn't trouble yourself with that. You have bigger problems to worry about."
This was news to me.
When he went back to his paperwork I vocally inquired, "What do I have to worry about?"
Colonel Ryan checked his watch.
He then glanced back up at me, "You have two hours to get to Raleigh to pick my daughter and grandson up at the airport. I'd go myself, but the Secretary of State is on her way here and she expects me to be here."
