[Chapter 319: Coast-to-Coast Attacks]
In Century City, at a Beverly Hills business club, Hawke met Brian in a private meeting room he had reserved for some time.
Both of them hadn't had dinner yet, so they decided to order it straight away.
As they ate, Brian talked about the situation at the fire department. "Yesterday, the fire department headquarters held its third recruitment drive this year. Hundreds of people showed up."
Hawke took a sip of his iced lemonade and asked, "Were they all women?"
"Exactly, all women," Brian elaborated. "The recruitment was supposed to end last month, but after the first batch, management kept dragging their feet. They still hadn't reached their recruitment quota."
He added, "Antonio, who pushed for this, has received a lot of support from the feminist movement. When the competition heats up, they might just influence us."
Hawke had anticipated this. "In that case, we'll close the doors and let the minorities take the lead."
Brian had already thought about that. "I thought the same thing; Steve has a strong influence among the Black community. We could rally a group of Black women."
