Juan grinned broadly, leaned back into his chair comfortably, and said leisurely, “I’m not asking Captain Fuller to do anything against the law. Just let him stay inside for a few more days.

Juan chuckled as his face showed an expression of triumphant success.

Brian considered it for a moment before nodding in agreement. “Okay.”
