Charlee was last to enter the main building. As the door shut, she spotted Frankyâs guards making their way back down the road outside the gate. As they spoke to one another, one of them held up his hand and pointed at his knuckles. If Charlee were to wager a guess, sheâd say theyâd been successful in their hunt. She turned, but stopped. One of the men picked up her momâs dance partner and heaved his body into the alley whence he came.
Must happen a lot around here. That was the only reason for these two to act so nonchalantly towards the discarding of an unconscious foe. It made Charlee that much happier to have people like Franky on their side. Carmen too.
The Flynns were led up to the second floor and through another doorway. This was obviously Frankyâs office. It contained all the usual suspects as far as furnishing go. Desk, chairs, filing cabinets, computer⦠Franky stood in front of the desk and motioned for them to sit. Since there were only two guest chairs, Charlee took one, and Sean took the other. Sydney sat on the armrest of Seanâs plush chair and laid her hand on his shoulder.
They were cute sometimes.
Sydney held out a hand toward Charlee. âFrancois Delva, this is Charlotte Flynn.â
âCharlee,â Charlee corrected, standing and holding out her hand.
The other man took it and squeezed. âAnd you may call me Franky. Youâd be surprised how many people have difficulty pronouncing Francois.â He glanced down at their clutched hands. âFirm grip. Plenty strong.â
âCharlee here is a very accomplished climberâ¦â Sydney explained as Charlee sat, âamong other things.â
âI bet, considering her parentage,â Franky said, leaning back against his desk. They looked at Charlee. âAlthough, I was under the impression that you were unaware of your mother and fatherâsâ¦careers.â
âUntil a couple of days ago, I was. Been an interesting ride since.â
Sean sat forward. âWe really need your help, Franky.â
Franky held out his hand. âGood to see you again, Sean.â His eyes darted to Charlee and Sydney as they shook. âEveryone healthy?â
âSo far, yeah. Been some close calls, though.â
Franky smiled. âIâm sure there have. Thatâs kind of the Flynn MO, is it not?â He glanced at Charlee. âOnce you are done doing whatever it is you are doing, Iâd like to hear all about it.â
Charlee gave him a curt nod. âDeal.â She was surprised Franky wasnât asking more questions. Charlee needed to know why. âYou arenât gonna ask why weâre here?â
âNo, no, no,â Franky replied, holding out his hands. âI have found that itâs better to not ask, especially with your father in town.â
âYeah,â Charlee said, âI hear the last time he was in Haiti he didnât make a lot of friends.â
âOh, so you know?â
Sean sat back. âGive it a rest, guysâ¦â
Charlee snorted. âHeh, classic.â
Franky gave Charlee an impressed look. âYou really are like your mother. With everything happening to you, you still find a way to smile.â
Charlee shrugged. âI mean, who wouldnât find that story funny?â
âMe!â Sean blurted out, rubbing his forehead.
