Chapter 10

“Yes, it’s coming along as expected. No real bumps in the road to speak of. Hell no, uhh, I mean, no. No, sir.” He repeated his statement. “I’ve got that big oaf covered.”

There was a small pause as Cyrus White nervously rubbed the thumb of one hand onto the palm of the other, left eye twitching unconsciously as he did so. He felt his shoulder jerk in symphony.

It was what he did, he knew, whenever he was nervous.

Cyrus knew that his lapse of language etiquette was distasteful to his superior. The twitching got worse. He hoped the man didn’t notice it.

He was doing all that he could to move up the chain at Rolling Hills by literally kissing the man’s ass. He’d do that if he had to. His superior promised him if he did a good job this time, unlike the last job, with that other group of Wildes, he’d bring him in to work directly for him at Rolling Hills.

No more dirty jobs no one wanted to do. He’d be cruising with the big dogs. A grin replaced the twitchy one of moments before.

As he listened to the other man on the end of the line, Cyrus rolled his eyes and whirled his chair around in his seat, staring out over the downtown Cheyenne skyline, doing his best to curb his irritation with his contact and superior at Rolling Hills.

God, get me out of the godforsaken place, he prayed, even though he wouldn’t exactly call himself a believer in any deity coming to his rescue. Or a believer in any deity at all.

That ship had sailed long, long ago.

Cyrus White held back a sigh of malcontent as he listened to the boring man continue his even more boring monologue on the importance of patience.

“Patience and due diligence will ensure we win this race,” he finished, his haughty voice filled with that irritating superior tone that made Cyrus want to stab the man’s eyes out. Repeatedly.

Cyrus’s mouth curled in a sneer.

He listened as the man droned on, and on, giving him instruction on how he expected Cyrus to conduct the meet and greet they had planned, in an attempt to finally get the Wildes to come on board.

“You understand this is important.”

It was several seconds before Cyrus realized he was expected to answer. He bobbed his head up and down in agreement and wanted to kick his own ass when he realized his nervousness was making him look stupid. He spoke up swiftly, assuring his superior that he did, indeed.

“Very good. Now, surely, I don’t need to reiterate to you the importance of getting that ‘big oaf’ to feel good about what we have planned, no?” he said, and again Cyrus cringed.

Ignoring the pompous way he spoke, along with the fake cosmopolitan accent he’d taken on, one Cyrus knew good and damn well wasn’t genuine. Cyrus should know; they’d both grown up in the same poor town in Texas. Despite all that, Cyrus knew his superior didn’t miss a thing.
