“All right.”
“Also, I’m going to have Strategic Services send over a security team to keep watch over the apartment building.”
Ash glanced at Dino and Jack, then asked Stone, “What’s going on?”
“Nothing you need to worry about.”
Ash frowned. “From where I’m sitting, it seems very much like something I should be worried about.”
“He has a point,” Dino said.
“You are aware of the concept of client confidentiality, are you not?” Stone asked Ash.
“I am,” Ash said.
“Which includes not sharing that information with someone you are growing close to.”
“I would never.”
Stone turned to Jack. “How do you want to handle this?”
“Allow me.” Jack turned to Ash. “There are some people from my past who are trying to cause problems for me. I don’t want more of my family or friends to get hurt.”
“More?” Ash paused. “Are you talking about Sara and your wife’s accident?”
“And Stone’s last night.”
“You were in an accident last night?” Ash said to Stone. “You didn’t say anything earlier.”
“At the time, it wasn’t necessary for you to know.”
“Did anyone get hurt?”
“Fred, but he’ll recover.”
Ash’s jaw tensed. “Who’s doing this?”
“That’s something you don’t need to know,” Stone said.
“If you say so,” Ash said, not looking happy. “Would you be opposed to me bringing my pistol to your house?”
“You own a gun?”
“I do. A SIG Sauer P365 9mm.”
“And you know how to use it?”
“My father is a retired army ranger. He trained my sisters and me on all aspects of gun use, from before we were teens.”
“Do you have a carry license?” Dino asked.
“Of course.”
“Then, no, I don’t mind,” Stone said. “But please inform the Strategic Services team.”
“I will.”
Stone excused Ash to go help Sara, then made a quick call to Mike Freeman.
