Good News And Bad News

As we walked out into the sun beating down on the airport's parking lot, I couldn't stop the grin that spread across my face.

"You know," Gray spoke and I looked over to see the same expression of confusion, shock and admiration he'd worn on his face since I told him the news in Monaco.

"I still can't believe that you managed to convince Oliver Adams." He said, shaking his head in wonder. "The same person that won't touch the project with a ten foot pole."
