Ninety-Six: Delivery At Work

Kaleb

That talk with the girls had to be the worst ever. I can’t believe they thought we were going to have that talk with them. I could sense both of the girls getting anxious. I wasn’t sure why since none of us were nervous. When Araya started talking about sex and babies, I was horrified. I am pretty sure Dustin and Chris felt the same way. When Kylani and Mykenzie started hysterically laughing at the situation, I wanted to be mad but couldn’t get the words out to tell them to shut up. I still can’t believe I stuttered when I talked. It was embarrassing. Kylani continued to tease me after that. I just ignored her. I can’t imagine having to have that talk with my girls. I shake my head and decide to focus on work. I am sitting in my office in our main building. Work has been going well. We have many new contracts in the works. I am going to have to travel to Greece and Spain in a few weeks, and I am not looking forward to it. I really don’t want to leave Kylani right now. She has been doing well and has not had any more pains from the growing twins. I have just gotten back to my office after having lunch with Dustin, Nate, and Jason. He stopped by to see what was going on and to say hi. I think the girls are driving them crazy. I had just sat down when my secretary came walking in with a package. She set it down on my desk, and I looked at it. I don’t remember ordering anything; if I did, I would have it sent to the house. I wonder if Kylani got me something and had it sent here. I open it to see what it is. It takes me a few to realize what I am looking at. When I do, it pisses me off. There are several pictures of all the girls. Some are current, and some are months, if not years, old. I instantly close the box and send both Nate and Dustin a mind link saying that I am bringing something up to Dustin’s office that we need to discuss. I close my office door and tell my secretary where I am going and to cancel anything that is not important. Luckily I have nothing major going on this afternoon. I catch the first elevator I can and head to Dustin’s office. When I get there, Nate is already there, and I set the box down on Dustin’s desk.

“What is this?” He asks.

“Look,” I tell him.

He opens up the box with Nate looking over his shoulder. He digs through the box when he realizes what he is looking at. I hear a low growl come from him. I can see the anger in his eyes.

“Where did this come from?” Dustin asks angrily.

“When I got back from lunch, Barb brought it in and set it down on my desk. She said FedEx dropped it off. I have no idea who sent it.” I explain.

“The dates range from a year or more to two days ago.” Nate comments.

“How are they getting the more current ones?” I ask.

“I have no idea. We need to take these to Marcus and Jason. They need to see these.” Dustin replies.

I return to my office to find Dimitri sitting in a chair. I jump a little cause I am not expecting him to be there. He gives me a chuckle.

“Not to be rude, but why are you here?” I ask.

“Kylani sent me. She said she could feel you were angry and wanted me to find out why. She was going to come to herself, but I told her I would see what was going on.” He tells me.

Oh shit, I forgot she could feel my emotions. Thank god that Dimitri convinced her to let him come. The last thing I need is her seeing all those pictures would piss her off. Then she and Mykenzie would head off to try and find whoever this was. I explained what happened and the box of pictures. He is also pissed. I tell him that we are just clearing whatever is on our schedules and heading home. We are going to take the box to Marcus and Jason.

“Let me take the box to them. That way, the girls don’t get so suspicious.” He says.

“That is a damn good idea,” I admit.

I mind-linked Dustin and let him know that Dimitri is here and what his idea is. He agrees and tells me to have Dimitri come to his office and get the box. I let Dimitri know to go to Dustin’s office and retrieve the box. He gives me a smile, then is gone. I figure he is already in Dustin’s office. I turn off my computer and wait for the other two to come down here. We all rode here together this morning in the company car. I am looking out my office window when I hear a knock. I turn around to see Nate. I grab my stuff and walk toward him. I close the door to my office and lock it. The three of us head towards the elevator.

“What are these people trying to prove by sending all these pictures?” Nate asks.
