Eventually everyone entered the headquarters and the familiar modern lobby greeted him.
Several members welcomed him again as they passed.
West gestured toward the lounge. "You guys can rest here for now."
"There are drinks."
"Food."
"Television."
"I'll have someone arrange your rooms shortly."
Robin nodded. "Okay."
West looked around. "Where's Aria?"
He frowned because normally, Aria would already be standing here with several reports in hand. In fact, she would have been at the airport waiting. But he chalked it up to her being busy with the workload he left her.
Jax scratched his head. "Oh."
"She's not here today."
West eyebrows furrowed slightly. "...Today?"
"Yeah."
West frowned deeper. "What about yesterday?"
Jax shrugged. "Same thing."
"I figured she was finally taking a vacation."
He dramatically rubbed his shoulders. "And dumping all the work on me."
"My poor back..."
