Chapter 21
Simon had found himself back in his office having to deal with yet another forceful female. This time it was the leader of the security team Lea had arranged. Why had he not been surprised to find it was headed by a woman. Rica sat across from Simon having just finished explaining how her team operated and what she would expect from him.
“Now hold on a minute. I am not about to cancel every single one of their appearances. Yes Urs is in hospital but Sebastien is well enough and three Divas is better than none. We’ve cut back to the bare essentials. I need to keep their faces out there.”
Rica cut him off. “Honey, and I need to keep them alive. I am not saying cancel all their appearances just let me guide you to the safest options is all.”
Simon sighed, he knew he was not going to win this one and he would have to concede. “I’m not going to win am I?”
Rica smiled. “Honey, I maybe Southern but I ain’t slow. You were never going to win.”
By the time Rica left his office Simon was fully aware of who was in charge and it wasn’t him. Rica had given him what information they had so far and how she was dealing with Il Divo’s security. He had to admit that she was exceedingly professional and meticulous down to the last detail.

Rica wanted to question Flea but thought it best to leave that until morning. It wasn’t as if she did not know where she was. There was not much more she could do people-wise so she headed back to her office to catch up on reports and do some research of her own. Tomorrow would come soon enough.

Aaron Vaga was still fuming about having missed Tamara and plotting how to get to her again. He had managed to keep hold of his gun as he rad run through those crazy fans at the TV station and he was going to use it again. This time he would make sure he did not miss his target. He just needed to find a time. Now that he had taken her boyfriend out of the equation it should be easier. He was going to go back to the apartment block to see if anything had changed. It was only a few hours off dawn. He could wait that long.

Through the night Rica’s team changed shifts. Not that anyone would have noticed. Except for the one near the lift on the Divo’s floor all other personnel were hiding in plain sight. Seen but unseen by those who passed by. They had a job to do and every single member of the team took their assignment very, very seriously. Not one of them would flinch if it meant killing someone to get the job done. Il Divo were right to feel safe in their hands.
