Chapter Six

Andrius

“How’s it going?” Cole asks in his laid-back drawl.

“It’s going. How well can I trust Priest? Before you say anything, I know he comes highly recommended by you, and he’s highly trained, but is there anything I need to know? Any issues?”

“No, why? He do something to get you all squirrely?”

Not sure what he means by squirrely but able to guess I sigh. “No, not really. He and Vasily got into a bit earlier. Vasily was being…Vasily and Priest got pissed off. Vasily thinks he’s got some anger shit covered by his calm exterior, or so he said after they got riled at one another.”

“What did they argue about?”

“Vasily joked about me liking dressing up in women’s clothes, long story, and Priest took offence.”

“Yeah, he hates that shit.” Cole sighed. “His cousin went through it, and he’s protective of her.”

So the cousin stuff was true. Fuck Vasily and his big mouth.

“I’m surprised he lost his temper; not like Priest.”

“Yeah, he didn’t lose his temper. Just checking, that’s all. Wanted to make sure there wasn’t anything I ought to know about. We all know the sort of issues we can have when we come home, and he’s been home a much shorter time than the rest of us.”

There’s a long beat of silence and then a pissed sounding Cole says, “Andrius, he’s fucking solid. I wouldn’t have recommended him otherwise.”

“I’m not saying you would–”

“All due respect, and I do respect you, yes you fucking are. We wouldn’t be having this convo if you weren’t. You wanted our help, and we gave it. I think it’s high time we had an understanding that we know our shit, and we aren’t going to fuck this up for you. I get it. It’s personal. You want to protect your family. I understand, deeply, what it means to have someone you love threatened or, in my case, taken from you. Thing is, we came to help and for us to do that you have to trust us. Now, I know Priest is new to your team, but trust me when I say, he’s one of the best. Solid. Calm, but if he has to lay down, he will in a heartbeat. Guy’s frosty as fuck, doesn’t miss a thing, and I can’t think of anyone better to have on my six.”

I pinch the bridge of my nose. “Thank you, and listen, I’m just nervous, and that’s not like me. I need these fuckers gone because they’re an existential threat.”

“I know. Not just to you either. To the Greeks too, if they get big enough and expand. Why do you think Damen called me and asked me to help? He’s aware. He’s on your side. You’ve got a veritable army being built here, man. We don’t know one another, but we both served our countries, and we did it in the finest capacity. There’s a bond there, man, and that bond is there with Priest too. Just trust in it.”

“Thanks,” I tell him sincerely. Then to lighten the convo, I add, “Got to go, I have a wig to put on.
