“He is insisting that he needs to go to Europe,” Holden sighed with irritation in his voice.
“Do you know why?”
“He only said that his father hid something from him, that it might be in Paris or Florence,” Holden sighed. “I told him that it wasn’t the right time for personal adventures, but he wouldn’t listen.”
“I got the impression that you didn’t like having Roman around,” the raspy voice called out.
“While it is true that I do not enjoy having him back,” Holden said. “He is still a part of your plan.”
“Yes,” the voice said. “But for right now, he can be free to play games with his father. There is still time before we are ready for the next phase.”
“And what about Tomas?” Holden asked. “It seems clear he is having difficulty following the plan, so what do we do with him?”
“Keep him under control by whatever means you deem fit,” the voice whispered. “Forget the rest of the lesser packs. We have enough. Let the others think they have a chance.”
