"I'll give him a bit more rope, but if he buggars it up, I'll hang him with it," Angus said. He flicked the floo back open.
"Robert? You still awake?"
"Of course," Robert's voice came through a moment later. "What did you think I would be doing in the of the morning if I was home? Surely you didn't think I'd be napping. I'm stuffing my face with this cinnamon roll, which is wonderful, by the way. Thank you for that. Why aren't you napping, though? What's up?"
"That asshole wants visitation with Diamond. Just so you know, if I end up in jail, I'm not taking Diamond anywhere at any time to meet with anybody unless I have a 200% guarantee that she goes in with me and leaves with me. No exceptions," Angus said.
"Well, okay. So, first things first, do try to lower your blood pressure about 500 points, would you, Lad? You're starting endwise. Take a breath, rewind this to the beginning and tell me what happened," Robert said.
"Angus's attorney says Tom and Suzanne want visitation with Diamond," Marcus said.
"Oh, of course they do," Robert sighed. "That doesn't entirely surprise me. Look, we have some options. I think, we can make it so full of security that Suzanne and Tom won't even be able to fart without hitting a guard. I understand your anxiety, but you hold the cards here. I think we can use this to our advantage. We can say that because of the very direct threats to your life, there will be as many bodyguards there as we deem necessary. We can determine who we want there and who we don't. We probably could demand that they show us proof that Priscilla and Dominic are back in New Orleans on the day of the visit too. I think you should give this some thought because, if we do it right, we might be able to give you a bit of a breather from all this noise from Suzanne. My best advice? Stall for time. Stall so we can think this through. How about I come over later either late this afternoon or after supper and we can discuss our thoughts. We don't have to make a plan, but we sure can discuss options."
Angus looked at Marcus and Aria and Rub, and Marcus nodded, liking the idea of just discussing ideas and options.
"Fair enough," Angus said. "We'll be here."
"Don't stress. She's right there with you, and she's as safe as she can be. We'll work it out."
