“…While that is a good suggestion,” Fynn finally broke the silence in a tone that suggested disbelief, speaking slowly.

“It seems Dodson and his gangwantsa war.”

“I can’t imagine why,” Gilroy said, shaking his head.

“Yeah, and where is their information source?” Madden said in her thick Boston accent which made source sound like ‘sauce’. “Its gotta be comin’ from somewheres.”

“So, there’s only two options is what I’m hearing. Either keep playing the game or act on the offensive?” Riley said doubtfully. “Theremustbe a better way, a better option…”

“There isn’t,” Kieran spoke softly. The room became silent. “They made this perfectly clear tonight. He’s trying to push me. He wants a war… and we’re going to give it to him. Only, we have to make it seem like our offense is justified.” Silence prevailed in the room. “We’re going to burn down one of our warehouses.”

“What?” Nolan sputtered, almost spitting out the coffee he was drinking. Everyone in the room looked at each other.

“Did I stutter?” Kieran asked darkly. “We’re going to burn down our warehouse. It will be all over the news. We’ll have to get support from our allies. They would never believe we would burn down our own property. That little b---h Dodson won’t know what the f--k hit him.”

They all stared at Kieran like he had two heads. Kieran rolled his eyes impatiently.

“Madden,” Kieran said.

“Sir?” Madden responded.

“You take the lead on this one.

Select a team, consult with the people in this room. Get started.”

“Affirmative,” Madden said without hesitation.

“I need to go. If you need me, you know where I am,” Kieran said, suddenly pushing himself out the door and down the hall towards his room. Lia hurried after him.

“Kieran!” she cried, rushing to catch up. Lia didn’t know what he was doing until she saw him roll his chair into the bathroom, over to the toilet, and immediately throw up into the basin. Lia’s eyes widened. “Kieran!” she cried again, kneeling next to him and rubbing his back while he continued to vomit into the toilet bowl.

Finally, he sat back, and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand.

“I apologize,” Kieran said, looking at Lia. “I was holding that in for quite some time.”

“Don’t apologize! Are you okay?” Lia questioned, concern in her eyes.

Kieran smiled reassuringly at her as he nodded. “Here,” Lia said, standing up and grabbing mouthwash for Kieran.

“Thanks,” Kieran said, swirling the mouthwash around in his mouth. He spat the mouthwash into the sink. “I’ve been feeling sick ever since I saw Will,” Kieran admitted. Lia nodded and sat on the side of the tub, so she was level with Kieran.

“Me too,” Lia said, looking at Kieran. They held each other’s eye contact. And then Kieran reached up slowly and brushed some of Lia’s hair out of her face. His hand drifted down and lingered over her cheek. She kept looking into his beautiful blue eyes as she reached up and covered his hand with hers.

And then somehow Lia was in Kieran’s lap, and they were kissing ravenously, as if they had been waiting to kiss for their entire lives. They explored each other’s mouths with their own, smashing their lips together, their mouths moving rhythmically in time with the other. When they pulled back, both were out of breath, and both were surprised at their intensity; surprised, but glad. They smiled simultaneously.

A knock on the bedroom door interrupted their moment. Kieran looked towards the knock, then back at Lia. She stood from Kieran’s lap with a coy smile, and winked at him before heading towards the door.

She opened it and saw Madden, whose eyebrow raised immediately after seeing Lia’s smeared lipstick. It was then that Lia realized everyone knew what was going on between herself and her boss. Lia quickly excused herself while allowing Madden into the room. Before the door closed completely, Lia looked back and made eye contact with Kieran, who calmly watched Lia leave.
