Chapter 39: Handling The Enemy
"I should have gotten rid of Mario weeks ago," grumbled Aaron to himself, as he fixed the sloppy welds on the reactor core using the welding drones.
He clicked the intercom, and called James:
"James, I need you to contact the steel mill and have them send over three new prefabricated reactor components. I’ll build out the entire fleet. We’ve wasted enough time as it is,"
"Sure thing boss. I’ll get right on it," replied James.
Aaron refocused on the drones, guiding them as they welded the primary coolant loop to the reactor core, ensuring that every joint was secure and leak-proof.
The intercom buzzed, and Natasha’s voice came through:
"Master Zakhrov, we had a visit from the FBI. They were looking for a Hakim Hussein, who is on their terror watch list.
I showed them the security footage of Mario’s attempted smuggling operation, and they took the truck wreckage and the remains of the bombers for evidence,"
"I’m assuming that means that we are in the clear?" asked Aaron.
"Yes sir. Special Agent Olga was very understanding, however, one of Senator Goldberg’s plants in the FBI was her partner, and that might need a little handling," replied Natasha.
"Since you said handling, I assume you are taking care of it?" asked Aaron.
