“So, does it seem doable to you?” I ask Harmon.

“Yeah, I don’t see there being too many issues,” he replied, checking the blueprints in his hands. “We’ll want to start digging here first to ensure we can go deep enough without damaging the original foundation structure.”

“That was the plan I had laid out.” I confirmed. “I’m already putting a list together of employees to vet. How long do you think the project will take?”

“Who does he want us to switch to?” I asked with concern.

“It’s a group out of Shadow Claw territory,” he said knowingly. “The manager has some connection to a high–ranking pack member, and they’ve been trying to use their influence to build business.”

“By paying Malcolm to pressure his clientele to use them,” I guessed grimly.

Harmon nodded. “Seems so. However, I asked around, and he’s only approached companies that are handling pack projects.”
