CHAPTER 22

Standing with Harv in the parking lot, Nathan glanced toward the sedan to verify the windows were still rolled up. He didn’t want Karen to hear any part of this call.

“Well I guess we’re about to find out how well my dad knows George Beaumont. You ready?”

“Go easy, Nate.”

His father answered on the third ring.

“Hi, Nathan. You’re calling awfully early. I always enjoy hearing from you, even at . . . oh, five thirty in the morning.”

“I hope I didn’t wake you.”

“My alarm beat you. I’m prepping for a long day of lobbyists, activists, campaigners, and petitioners. They all want their feel-good programs as long as someone else pays for them.”

“Sounds like business as usual.”

“It is.”

“I have you on speaker. Harv’s with me.”

“Good morning, Senator.”

“Harv, I’ve been trying to get you to call me Stone for over twenty years.”

“Sorry, sir, I’m old-school.”

“How’re Candace and your boys Dillon and Lucas?”

“Very well, sir, thank you. How’s Martha?”

“Nathan’s mother has the constitution of a dreadnought.”

“I’ve always wondered where Nathan got his mettle.”

“What can I do for my fellow Marines?”

“We’ve got a situation out here,” Nathan said. “How soon can you call us back from a secure landline?”

“A situation. What’s the problem?”

“It’s best if we don’t discuss it over open airwaves. Can you head into your office early today?”

“I was already planning to. Something tells me my hectic day’s about to get worse. Can you give me something, at least?”

“Beaumont Specialists, Incorporated.”

Silence on the other end.

“I can be in my office in about twenty-five minutes. What number should I call?”

Harv gave Stone his private line at First Security.

“Got it. Let’s make it more like thirty in case there’s any kind of traffic or road construction.”

“We’ll talk then.” Nathan ended the call.
