THE ROMAN LEE SERIES
"CRIMSON ROWS"
Nineteen
9:00AM
The hoverboard navigated its way around the expansive marble
flooring high above the city streets.
Jaxon Lathos was reading the latest research report on his new
drug. One in which he had invested a lot
of time and money. Stepping off the
board he walked over to the large tall glass window of his office as he looked
out to the horizon. The results were not
what he expected nor what were promised.
He paid little attention to compensation when it came to research
because ultimately that would pay for itself.
But he had little patience when disappointed by performance. Any setbacks were considered a failure
regardless of circumstance. To Jaxon
Lathos they were expensive in relation to time and money. Once a product was ready for market the clock
started to tick in terms of its financial cycle to make enough money off it in
terms of profitability. The problem was
many companies were developing similar products simultaneously so it was
essentially a race to the finish line.
As far as he knew this was the only one being researched but he suspected
there would be more very soon. He needed the advantage of being first to the
market because he was not going to relinquish it regardless of any patent laws
or ridiculous pressures from the government.
What he needed right now was motivation to move things
along at what he felt was an acceptable pace.
Turning his left wrist over he tapped a button on his Applewatch. The sound was audible before the video
appeared.
“Dah?”
“I’m paying you an enormous amount of money given your
current circumstances. We have a problem
that needs your specific attention.
Currently I’m not getting the feedback that I have requested. You need to pay a visit.”
An image now much clearer had materialized on the small
screen after a minute or so. The
muscular looking male with the large scar along the side of his face looking
directly back at him. He was in his
thirties and spoke with a Russian accent.
Jaxon’s international contacts had recommended him as one who could get
certain things done when no one else could when put to the task. He was fully aware of the man’s past history
but his type of help was invaluable especially in certain locations.
To find out who this mysterious character is you will find him in the title below.
