“Of course.”

Fletcher sighed.

“Sir.” Something was bothering his boss, and he was afraid he already knew what it was. “You may as well say what’s on your mind.”

“Holland mentioned your reaction the other night.”

Robby paled. He and his men weren’t perfect, even with a high expectation on their outcomes. But they never let each other down. “He put that in the report?”

“Of course not. But he was concerned enough that he had a private word with me.”

“I see. And I can explain.”

“There’s no need. I know what’s in your file. I hesitated to schedule the mission on that day for that very reason.”

“It will never happen again. You have my word.”

“That’s not my primary concern. You and your men did a great job over there. All this proves is that you are capable of a successful mission despite the grief you carry from your past. I would be more concerned if you showed nothing. I know you and your brother were close, and that can’t be easy to carry around with you.”

“We weren’t that close at the end.”

“Still…if you need to talk about it, my door is always open. And I want to make sure you can carry the burden while you continue to work. I take it this won’t affect the completion of the tasks you’ll be carrying out?”

“No, sir. Thank you, sir.”

“I can see by your straight back that you’d prefer to change the subject.”

“If that’s possible, yes, I’d appreciate it.”

“Very well. Where do you suggest we begin?”

“I’d like to have a closer look at TreadCraft Dynamics.”

“You’ve seen the report we compiled on them?”

“I did. I’ve asked the team to look deeper into a few of the staff and see if anything pops.”

“What are you thinking?”

“I’ll head to Pittsburgh and get a feel for the place. I’ll have a look around and keep an eye on things. Watch for any suspicious movement.”

“Are you looking for anything specific?”

“Not yet.”

“So, you won’t need a team to support you?”

“Not at this time, but I’ll keep them on speed dial.”

“Good, I’ve got another assignment coming up that needs attention, but I’ll make sure they’re available for you if you need them.”

“Thank you, sir.”

“I’d appreciate it if you keep me updated regularly.”

“Of course.”

“Excellent. You’re dismissed.”
