An Invitation to Maharlika
"Nate," Frank said, his tone proud and jovial.
"Frank, to what do I owe this pleasure?" Nathaniel asked.

"I know you're on vacation, but I wanted to tell you the moment I found out," Frank said excitedly.
Nathaniel smiled and shook his head. The Syndicate had fallen into his trap.
"Found out what, sir?" Nataniel asked, feigning ignorance.
"That your actions have been working quite well," Frank told him. "The leaders were quite happy with the results."
"Oh, they've already seen the results?" Nathaniel asked, pretending to be shocked that a rift had already been formed.
"Indeed there are!" Frank answered. "The impossible happened today, the CEO called for a meeting with all his Department Heads in Arlington."
