Angela came to his side as the camp began to drop their votes in the box. “You know what this will cause?”

Adrian’s answer was silent. “It will make females the most cherished cargo we haul.”

Angela could see it in his mind, the way he dreamed it would be, and instantly got on board. In Adrian’s world, girls as young as seven were being escorted by their male, who was responsible for all of her needs and happiness. These strictly screened men would dote on these girls for almost a decade before any contact occurred, but in that time, they would become attached and create love matches that would lead not just to the occasional birth, but to one after the other, out of natural contentment.

Adrian flashed another image, one of girls being taught how to pick a man for themselves. Instead of advanced algebra, they were given relationship skills.

“Their protectors are Eagles. They can only come from my army, and in return for the honor, my men will train them, protect them, and understand the gift they’ve been given.”

Angela was humbled by his vision. In it, men were taught the same things, only they were drilled on it until it became a way of life. “A new type of Eagle.”

Adrian shook his head, gently pushing her out of his mind. “No. A new kind of man. One not full of violence that bleeds all over the world.”

Angela’s sharp mind put it together with a snap. “You were ready for this–them becoming attracted to younger girls.”

“Yes. They see what your generation of rookies will be like. They know the next are worth waiting for, too.”

Angela missed the wording. “How long do you foresee it taking to actually have them with the girls?”

Adrian gave her a clever smile that she knew for a fact that the camp had never seen.

“It’s already happening. You'll handle the first mental evaluation when you talk to Kyle.”

Meaning Adrian was sure the mobster was about to cross a line.

“Is Jennifer in danger?”

“Would I let them alone if she were?”

Angela hated the answer. “If it does something for the greater good? Yes.”

Adrian didn't lie or apologize as he moved into the deep shadows. This was what the job required.

Frowning over the revelations, Angela moved into the empty training tent and shrugged out of her jacket. She chose the new workout equipment and began doing sets, mind not on one subject, just browsing as she worked out. Adrian needed her to jump another level in the next two weeks. That took work.

Angela grunted, pushing the bar up on the last set, pouring sweat. The men used heavier weights and did harder tests than her, especially with the limits John and Marc had insisted on, but she was alone right now and would do as she pleased. John said two more weeks before she could have full duty back, but Angela was determined to earn it in one.

Adrian studied her from just inside the flap, where the shadows were the darkest.
