Lana immediately caught Greg's intense stare as she entered the office. He seemed to be trying to give her some kind of signal, lightly squinting at Anthony from time to time. This energetic guy, as always, glowed with a very broad smile, shining like a polished spoon, and apparently so far was completely unaware that only one human had just entered the room. And the other two ...
Everyone stood up to greet. Of course, Tony was the first to dart to the newly arrived.
" Lana, dear! I adore you! You do not stop surprising me. I just love surprises. We should become the best friends! But I'm a little offended that you always have fun without me. Therefore, this time I came myself, so as not to miss anything fabulous!" - He said, hugging Lana, and then kissing her on both cheeks.
"Hands off! And keep your lips to yourself, or I'll cut them off! Slowly." - Barked Greg approaching. Brian at the same time immediately pushed Risa behind his back, showing with all his appearance what he would do with a too friendly man if he tried it with his girlfriend too.
" God, how can you be so snobbish?!" - Tony threw up his hands, puffing his lips. - "It's just a greeting."
"Oh, Yea? Try to greet the same way Brian over here. I'll see what happens next," - Greg said jokingly. But the blond's face immediately turned white, and his lips stretched out into a line. Greg even thought that he heard a muffled growl.
But Tony apparently could not quite appreciate the danger. Playfully slapping Brian over the shoulder, he laughed.
"Well, if you insist, I can't say no to such a handsome man," - Frank barely managed to intercept Tony, who was already reaching out for Brian, twisting him in the motion and threw the prankster the other way to the table. At the same time, Greg quickly blocked Tony's view of Mr. Winterborn with his back, whose eyes had already become completely bestial and glowed bright yellow.
Lana, feeling a sudden change in her brother's mood, immediately grabbed his arm. Risa followed her example, patting the man on the back, trying to pacify him.
"Calm down, Bri, Tony was just kidding! He is a good guy. Just a little playful." - Lana hissed in her brother's ear.
" If this joker will try something funny again with Risa or me, and I will tear out all the humorous parts out of his body to the root!" - Snarled Brian through clenched teeth. But his eyes began to transform back.
"Oookaaay, let's not aggravate the situation. And Tony -Cool your jets! We are here for a serious reason. And Anthony has essential information. So, Brian, try not to kill him before we end our talk." - Frank tried to improve the situation.
"Nice to meet you, by the way. I am glad that you decided to join us today." - He said, speaking already to Brian, and indicated with a gesture to the free chairs near the table. Apparently, Greg had already warned him about the peculiarities of their new acquaintance, because Frankie did not offer a hand for a handshake and kept a little distance away.
Both men scanned each other for a few seconds. Franky was a bit more muscular and brawny than Brian, but they were almost equal in height, towering over all others. But in comparison the head of the security seemed a bit tattered and relaxed, the blond-haired guy, on the contrary, was neat and tense, like a string. As if he was made of wax, in one piece with a suit and the rest of the accessories.
When everyone was finally seated, Greg, who was sitting at the head of the table, immediately took the lead.
"So, I think we should start with the most apparent problem. Namely, with General Leib and his daughter." - He said, looking around all.
"I don't see any problem," - Brian immediately shrugged, leaning back in his chair. - "We can just make them disappear. No body - no case. "
"This is somehow not at all exciting," - Tony replied with a grin, apparently taking it as a joke. But catching a severe look of yellow eyes faltered.
" Firstly, we will not kill anyone. Too troublesome. And you promised me not to do this again." - Took the word Rice addressing her boyfriend. Her words and Brian's calm reaction to them made everyone a bit tense - "Besides, this goes against the laws, and we have enough on our plate now."
"Let first exchange information, and then draw up a plan of action." - Greg tried to move everyone's attention from this odd exchange.
"Begin, it's your ex after all," - Brian said in a cold tone, pointing his stare on Greg.
"She's not my ex!" - Greg snapped instantly. - "That b*tch deceived me. I do not remember the faces of women. At all. I do not recognize anyone except Lana, Vicki, my sisters, and mother. She knew it and used it to her advantage."
The silence fell in the office. Frank and Tony exchanged glances, surprised at how easy Greg dumped his main secret to a barely familiar guy. Only here Brian himself did not look surprised at all.
"A side effect," - he said simply. - "Apparently your connection with Lana was very strong back then. Therefore, after parting your subconsciousness itself simply deleted all the information about unnecessary, extraneous women. Although it is strange that you did not barfed even touching other girls. Humans are strange creatures. "
While Greg was a little shocked by what he heard, Frank threw a cautious look at Tony, who was not aware of the fluffy side of some of those present. Anthony's eyes widened, and a whole hundred questions clearly danced in them. Risa was the first to assess the critical situation and pulled her boyfriend by the sleeve.
" Brian, stop it. We all have a past. You had girls before me too, so ..."
- No! - cut off her boyfriend, not even letting her finish.
Risa froze with her mouth open.
" What do you mean - no? At that time you were already thirty-eight..." - the girl asked dumbfoundedly.
"Baby, I have OCD. I never even kissed before you." - Brian answered calmly as if he had just said that he had eaten for breakfast. Risa blinked several times, various emotions appeared on her face in a sequence. From "Are you sh*tting me?" To "Holy moly, I want a medal for poping this hotty's cheery!"
"Then how ... - she began, obviously forgetting about others for a moment.
"Books and tomatoes ..." - answered Brian frankly, in general, the werewolves had a little bit odd sense of shame and Brian in particular!
"God! Stop it! I don't want to know anything about my brother's sex life." - Screamed Lana, chopping off the next stream of questions. But then Tony interrupted her, he was silent all this time and carefully watching the exchanges, he only lacked popcorn and 3d glasses.
"No, Lana, so not fair. I will die if I don't find out how this big guy used tomatoes a book to seduce a girl. That's so fascinating! What kind of books? And there are so many different types of tomatoes. Cherry or the big and juicy ones?" - This guy obviously did not have a filter, and his eyes reflected that now he would not let Brian off even under the death threat. Very real death threat.
"Enough," - Greg snarled, gathering everyone's attention. - "Focus, for god sake! So. Let's start with the general info. Tony and I have already prepared everything that is necessary to remove our corporation from all the projects associated with general Leib at once. Moreover, Frank managed to dig up some interesting information on the unsanctioned waste of funds that belonged to the army for personal needs. We may not only at any time break any connection with Leib, but also put him behind bars for a long time. But there are a few questions that still do not allow us to do this. The first one, apparently, this witch Angela crawled somehow into our date base, which a limited circle of people has access to. And she used it not only to watch me. Tony managed to record several of our developments through his channels, which are officially listed as written off in the hands of the radicals in hot spots in the east. All traces lead to the general, and therefore to his daughter. By trading our developments with terrorists, she has already signed a prison sentence for herself. But we need to find out who gave her access to our database and it is desirable to find out the list of items already sold and what they were going to sell. Secondly, Frank and I found evidence of her involvement in the accident in which Nikki got hurt."
" What did you said?" - suddenly exploded, leaping up from the chair Brian, - This b*tch dared to touch my nephew ?! Where is this creature now?"
Lana and Rhys jumped up from their seats and clung to the furious guy, who apparently did not expect an answer, ready to find Angela right now and tear her throat off. Surprisingly, Greg answered him in a completely calm voice.
" Brian, keep your pants on. We always have time to gut her."
"Then why haven't you done it yet? " - roared the fair-haired guy, his pupils again began to stretch into a line.
"Everything is very simple. First of all, I already promised Lana that I would give her the opportunity to take revenge on this snake. I trust my woman and believe that she has every right to do so." - Answered Greg in an icy tone. Even his eyes seemed to have become predatory. - "Secondly, Angela is associated with the crime group, which in turn actively supports relations with the terrorists. That is how they passed the goods to the radicals. We need to cover all at once. This girl herself has no particular value, but if she allows us to catch bigger fish, I see no reason to hurry. Besides, Lana will have the opportunity to play with him to her heart content."
He finished and smiled broadly. For some reason, all those who were present immediately shivered, as if from a sudden gust of wind.
