He laid it out and waited.
Silence reigned in the room for a beat. “Risky,” Remy said. “We could find ourselves filled with bullet holes.”
“Got a better idea?” Veronica, Adam’s wife, asked. “Anything we do will be risky.”
Seth’s phone vibrated. He glanced at the screen. “Maddox says President Martin is moving his event indoors into a ballroom. Security will be tighter. Although Maddox wanted him to cancel the event, the president refused.”
“We need our weapons in that ballroom,” Teagan said. “We’ll have a hard time getting them inside unless security knows who we are and why we’re carrying.”
“We risk a leak,” Bowen warned. “The fed houses leak like a sieve, and we don’t know how far The Brotherhood’s reach goes.”
“I’m open to suggestions.”
“Ceramic weapons if the feds won’t work with us or we feel talking to them is too dangerous,” Iona said.
Remy grimaced.
Adam’s eyebrows shot up. “Do you have enough for all three teams?”
“Knives, yes. No ceramic pistols.”
Veronica shook her head. “I don’t believe that’s a good option. Our team doesn’t use ceramic knives. I don’t even use them in my kitchen much less on a mission.”
“There’s an easier solution,” Knight said.
Seth straightened. “Let’s hear it.”
“Ask Maddox to contact President Martin and have him add the teams to his security detail. Security details carry weapons. No one will question us or prevent us from carrying at the event.”
“Seth?” Adam looked at him.
“Let’s call Maddox. I don’t know if we can be added to the security roster this late in the game, but I’ll ask.”
He made the call and placed it on speaker.
“Yeah, Maddox. Talk to me, Seth.”
“You’re on speaker with all three teams. We need to be added to President Martin’s security detail at the hotel.”
Maddox gave a bark of laughter. “You don’t ask for much, do you?”
“Can you think of a better way to carry weapons to the event? I’d rather not have to worry about the Secret Service and other law enforcement agencies shooting us.”
“Good point. I’ll see what I can do. Anything else?”
“An agenda of the president’s schedule would be helpful.”
“That’s probably a hard no but I’ll ask.” Maddox ended the call.
Seth thought that might be the case. “Let’s look at the schematics of the hotel, the ballroom in particular, and make a plan. We have little time.”
Adam held up a hand. “Before we dive into the details, are you planning to split up your team?”
Teagan’s head whipped Seth’s direction.
“Yeah, I am.”
“Why?” Noah demanded. “We’re a team. We work together, Seth.”
