Chapter 71

I marched into my office where I knew Blair and my head army commander, Ollie, would be waiting.

"Thank you for coming so early in the morning," I said to them.

Blair forced a smile and nodded but Ollie just looked grave. He was a big guy, usually fearless so to see him so concerned was very unnerving. This was the effect Andrea had.

"Any word of Martinez?" I asked.

"Nothing at all," Blair said. "We have no idea what he's doing, where he is or why. The usual deal."

"We don't think he has left the territory but we can't be certain," Ollie added.

I nodded.

"Well, how are we supposed to work with that?!" I growled, throwing myself into my chair. "Just sit and wait for him to do something terrible?"

At that, the office phone began to ring. It was Eduardo Siciliano, one of my deputy army commanders. I furrowed my eyebrows, his mate had given birth the previous day and as a result, he wasn't on duty. Why would he be calling me?

I answered the call and put it on speakerphone.
