How's the leg? I think your man wants you back

Why? What's happened?

I paused. What made me think that?

Nothing really, just that he's a man's man. I'm sure he wishes you were here

Nah, he's good with you

Did he say anything?

Oh god, did he tell Fletch about us? My cheeks heated and I'm pretty sure they were flaming red. I didn't blush often, but I sure was making up for it now.

Not really.

What's that supposed to mean?

Just, not really. We messaged briefly and that was it. Why, is there something he should tell me?

No! Nothing, just curious.

K. Hang on a sec.

I waited and a few minutes later, then this…

Apparently somethings going down on Intrepid right now? What's going on?

Alarm jumped into my throat. IDK, what? How do you know?

He texted 'shit's hitting the fan'

Damn! I gotta go

Wait! Micki, stay put. He's handling it.

I can't just wait here. I'm responsible, as well you know. Tell me you wouldn't be there if you were here

I didn't wait for a reply and shoved my phone in my pocket. Where was Beck? What the fuck was happening. I shouldn't be kept out of the loop! No way in hell.

Now I had to find him.

Ithink I knew where this incident was taking place, either in the guest quarters or where that poker game was happening. Both were forward, I took the crew stairs and hallway to avoid guests and it wasn't long before I heard shouts, and things breaking.

The door to the meeting room was ajar. Inside was a confrontation between a bunch of people. Beck and a security guard were trying to get things under control.

It looked like a poker game had gone south. Someone accusing another of cheating, and something about a land deal that sent everyone into fight mode. That was not okay!

I burst into the room and shouted for everybody to shut up but they were too intense and didn't hear me. I refused to stand by and let this happen so I whistled. Fingers between my lips and I let out a piercing whistle that stopped everyone cold. Startled, they all faced me.

"What the hell is going on here?" I demanded and glared at the group of people.

"I can handle this." Beck's voice was steel, he didn't look at me.

"Hardly. You must've been at this for a while and you even messaged Fletch." I retorted.

Beck looked at me, his face thunder. "Fletch texted you and told you what was going on?"

He hadn't really, it was in the middle of our chat when the message came in. "Why shouldn't he tell me because after all I am the captain of Intrepid am I not?"
