"Good." Rowan said slowly. "I'll have a special task for both of you.. The rest of the pack will be near by, but I do not trust them to do the job right.. We will be visiting Bowen tomorrow, as I said. But I want to go in and see if I can't persuade him to see my way first. I want him on my side willingly. But Bowen is also not one to easily turn his loyalties. He may need stronger persuasion. You'll two will be close by the VINDEX building. Should negotiations go sour, I want you two to do something that will put pressure on him to join in my side. His employees are his family. If he thinks one of their lives are in danger, I'm sure he'll break..." Rowan grinned into his glass.

"The less of the scene we make, the better. I don't want this event to tip off Baron or any of his."

Even if it hadn't been said, Rowan had treated the two men in the room with him as his second and third. Although Felix was new and questionable with his brother being in Baron's pack, he had proven his worth. Jason was usually chosen to do the more dirty tasks.

Rowan then looked past the two men and his face fell into a frown. The sight of the ruined table fouled his mood again. "Jason.. Accidents happen during the heat of battle right?" Rowan asked, though he didn't wait for an answer. "It would be a shame if a certain young woman were not to make it. Her being wounded gravely from a previous fight and all.." Rowan took a sip of whiskey.

It was all too clear on which woman he was referring to. Charlotte had stepped across the line. "What do you think?"
