The First Meeting

[Victor Steiner]

The two brothers sat in the empty wardroom, a bottle of whiskey and three empty glasses between them on the oak table, silence filled the room as Victor read through files and Edmund did the same. The man they were about to meet was remarkable only by his name, otherwise, he was fairly normal. Still, there were concerns that needed to be addressed, sooner rather than later. Particularly with the business in Exeter now reaching a boiling point. Issues that were hidden risked becoming more and more problematic and while Redmond was off doing his own thing, Steiner deemed it far more important to learn about those within the officer corps.

Word soon filtered down that the man both Victor and Edmund were eager to meet had arrived and the filed were quickly and quietly returned to their folders. No whiskey was poured, for now, clearer heads were needed.
