Jaxon
I leaned against the edge of my desk as the door pushed open. Max walked in, followed quickly by Oliver and James. They came and formed a half circle around me and almost in sync crossed their arms over their chest. I took a deep breath and tried to compose myself as I spoke.
"I had an idea. I’m hoping this idea will help eliminate the danger and problems with the Frankie brothers. I reached out to the Vitullo family, and I’m going to set up a meeting with them. I’m hoping that we can meet and I can persuade them to join our side instead. If they are with us, the Frankie brothers will have no support and no resources to attack us."
Max and Oliver exchanged a glance. James kept his eyes on me and narrowed them.
"You called them already?" James asked. He sounded frustrated and annoyed.
"Yes, I did. I haven't set up a time with them yet. I wanted to go over with you all and figure out the best plan," I explained.
This only seemed to upset James further.
