try and attack here. I thought I would be of more use helping but I am sorry for bringing this down on you all.”
    Sam stood up. “No need for apologies, Creed, you’ve saved our asses more than once and this Mikhail guy sounds like he’s someone we should take out anyway. So, I say we get to work and have several meetings in the rec hall to give everyone the heads up. We can’t get them all in there at once so if we do three different meetings, one after the other, then we can focus on keeping us all safe.”
    “I agree,” Ronan turned to Starr, “can you get notices sent out to everyone? First meeting will be in an hour and then on the hour the following two hours after that. First one will be all Elite squads and mission squads, second will be the remaining Wolves and Vampires, third is for everyone else. I want every single person to be at one of the meetings, including mates who don’t actually work for us.”
    Starr walked to the door. “I’ll get started now.”
    Ronan looked at Matthew. “What are you still doin’ here? Go, get started on whatever electronic magic you can come up with and be at the first meeting to let us all know what you’ve managed.”
    Matthew blushed. “Yes, boss,” he said as he scurried from the room.
    “Will you stop calling me boss!” Ronan exclaimed.
    Sam chuckled, “Hey, if the cap fits ‘n all that. So, what say we three go over what we should do?”
    Ronan frowned, hating being called boss but failing miserably in getting folks to stop. “Yeah, so, I’m going to put a curfew in place, nobody, and I mean nobody, goes out after work hours. In fact, I think I’m going to say that from today we are on lockdown. Nobody in or out. We can get supplies ordered online and delivered. Any movement between buildings is done either via the underground garages or only with guards in place. We need to keep everyone as safe as we can and if this Mikhail is as bad as we fear I can’t think of a better way to do it.”
    As Ronan started pacing, his mind working overtime, Sam sat back down. “Ronan, we’ll do all we can to keep folks safe but I’ve a feeling there’s gonna be casualties. I’m hoping they’re all on Mikhail’s side but we need to be prepared to lose some of ours. Especially if this fucker is dirty enough to use explosive devices.”
    “No!” Ronan spun around. “I’ll not lose any of our people to scum like this. We’ll just have to be better, harder, faster. Simple as that.”
    “His men are all battle worn,” Creed’s voice was grim as he spoke, “they have plenty of experience in this kind of situation. We need to have warning of them and strike before they even know what’s happening. Otherwise, we will have our own casualties.”
    “Well, it’s our job to make sure we don’t.” Ronan’s voice was firm and confident as he looked at Sam then Creed. “Let’s go to the conference room and we can hash out specifics. Creed, I want you in charge of all the Elites, set their teams, shifts, areas, the whole damn lot. And I want it done with military precision, we are better than this damn mafia and we’ll show ‘em just how much better we are.”

Chapter 4
     
    Starr hurried to reach the meeting before it started, so many people calling to find out what was going on she was held up. Rushing along the corridor and into the rec room she found it filling up with the guards and other teams. Heading towards the front of the room to join Ronan, he gave her a little smile and a raised eyebrow as she drew near.
    “I’m fine, my phone is ringing off the hook with folks wanting to know what the hell’s going on.”
    “The jungle drums are beating,” Ronan said ruefully, “they’ll all know soon enough. Now, let’s see if we can organize everyone and keep us all safe. Where’s Matthew?”
    Starr looked around, not seeing the young Wolf, pulling her phone out to call him. Just as she was about to press dial, she caught sight of him pushing through
