Chapter 12

DURING NORMAL TIMES, Jackson didn’t attend the weekly Six Points management meeting, and that suited him just fine. For starters, he wasn’t a member of upper management and didn’t aspire to join the ranks. He preferred to remain at the team leader level, because the thought of working in an office made him twitchy as hell. Given the choice, he’d much rather get his hands dirty out in the field.

But these were far from normal times.

Jackson followed the mouthwatering scent of pizza to the conference room. A half dozen boxes were lined up on the back table, along with an assortment of sodas and bottled water. Jackson loaded a few slices onto a paper plate, grabbed a can of Coke, and sat between Ryan and Navarre.

“How did things go at the range?” he asked Navarre as he cracked open his can of soda.

Six Points didn’t have their own firing range, so they maintained an account at the nearby outdoor facility for their employees to use. All active security agents were required to go at least twice a month to sharpen their skills, though just about everyone went more often than that. And because Navarre was the best marksman at the company—hell, one of the best in the country—he’d been put in charge of ensuring every new employee attained a certain level of skill with a pistol and a rifle.

Annoyance formed on Navarre’s face as he swallowed a bite of pizza and washed it down with a sip of Mountain Dew. He was still pissed about Essie staying at their house but was slowly coming to terms with it. “I spent most of my time teaching Luther how to properly handle his weapons.”

That didn’t surprise Jackson in the least. One of the recent hires at Six Points, Luther was a valuable asset on personal protection details due to his spectacular resting asshole face. Most of the time, he looked as if he wanted to rip somebody’s lungs out, and that had a way of making people reconsider any bad intentions. Unfortunately, everything Luther knew about firearms he’d learned from the movies, which meant he did a lot of stupid shit that only looked cool to people who didn’t know better.

“Did he ever get around to firing live ammo?” Jackson asked.

“Oh yeah.” Navarre chuffed out a breath. “He’ll have one hell of a bruise on his shoulder tomorrow because he insisted on learning the hard way.”

One by one, the Flint brothers filtered into the room, grabbed some grub, and grabbed a seat. Austin, the oldest brother and founder of the company, sat at the head of the table, while Nate claimed a seat on the other side of Ryan. Ty Flint had even driven up from his home in south Florida, one more sign the family was taking the threat to Nina’s life seriously. The only brother missing was Wade, who was currently in Virginia with his woman.

A short time later, Essie came in with Nina, and every cell in Jackson’s body leaped to attention.
