smiled wide and gave him a soft nod. “I thought the very same thing. I’m sure the boys will relish the idea of taking on a new challenge. Don’t you think?” he asked, a mischievous smile on his lips.
“Absolutely,” Troy said darkly. “Where is Alexie located? Is he in Brussels?”
“No, he’s in St. Petersburg, and I’m sure he reports to someone higher up, someone not officially associated with Alexie's organization.”
“As in St. Petersburg, Russia?” Troy was a bit surprised.
“Yes, I’m sure he is part of the Russian mafia running things from there. There is a top man that we haven’t met yet—and I’m saying yet because I’m determined to get to him. I’ll be the last person he sets eyes on before he takes his last breath.”
“That’ll be a sight to see.” Troy grinned.
“I’m really worried about these guys coming after Arielle,” Sebastian said contemptuously. He stood up abruptly and walked over to the large window that faced the ocean. There was a short silence, and then he turned to face Troy. His eyes flashed with rage. “I’ll have to destroy them, there’s no question about that.” His tone was icy. A low curse escaped his tight lips and his face expression turned deadly serious. Sebastian’s hands squeeze into tight fists. It was plain that he was worried about Arielle’s safety. A long silence followed Sebastian’s words.
After a few minutes, Troy stood up and walked over to stand next to his friend. He reached over and tapped Sebastian gently. “Hey buddy, take it easy. There’s no need to get overly anxious before we have all the facts.”
Sebastian turned his gaze from the ocean to Troy and nodded. They walked back from the window and Sebastian sank into his favorite armchair. Troy took the seat across from him. He gazed at Troy pointedly and tapped his fingers tensely on the armrest. Troy waited patiently without saying a word. Sebastian pondered the situation before saying anything more. Finally, he said, “All I’m saying, Troy, is that if they threaten Arielle’s life I’ll have to kill them.” He spoke with acid in his voice.
“I suppose you could, Sebastian. No, I’m actually sure you will,” he said confidently. “But seriously… Listen, we’re not going to have any trouble getting to these guys, so let's just wait until we meet with Dylan and get more information. What do you say?”
Sebastian remained silent for a short moment before realizing that Troy was right.
“You’re absolutely right,” he said, slapping his hands on the armrests and standing up. “Thanks, Troy old boy, how about going and joining the girls down at the beach?”
“I’m ready if you are,” Troy said joyfully. They started to walk out when Sebastian put out a hand and held Troy back. Troy turned to look at him a little surprised.
“What’s on your mind?”
“Troy, please don’t ever mention to Arielle anything about the threats on my life and hers. All she knows is that a group of scums is planning to sabotage the company.”
“Not to worry, I will not say anything at all. I don’t think she anticipates that we’ll discuss business in front of her.”
“Thanks again, Troy. You are a great friend, I’m sure glad that we crossed paths.” Sebastian chuckled joyfully, and they walked out to the beach.
The two men stood together on the top of the hill looking down at the water. They immediately located Arielle and Gabrielle walking by the water, clearly enjoying the day. Suddenly, they noticed two guys running down the side of the hill toward the girls and calling their names.
“I wonder who these guys are?” Troy asked, surprised.
“I don’t know, but let's listen and find out.” Their immortal hearing could easily pick up conversations from a very long distance.
Arielle and Gabby had been sitting for a while watching the surfers waiting to catch a wave and then surfing to the shore. It was a pleasurable sight on a calm, crispy
