</div>Roman was living in his own world, as per usual. He was behind in current events and evidently hadn't shown up to listen to the meeting his brother held. Hale hadn't either, not because he hadn't wanted to, but because he was so busy handling the back end and it was a show that he trusted Ray to handle it without his presence. He had gotten a detailed report of it, and aside from parading Alvaro around a little too much for most people's comfort, he thought he did well.<br/><br/>"Just aftermath from yesterday, and some issues that resulted in your brother taking matters into his own hands. Armando is going to be taking a leave of absence as a result. Alvaro is stepping forward, along with Rebel." He didn't mention Dan because it didn't seem as if he had the ambition for climbing the way the other man did. "Just a bit of a refocus until we can get things sorted out and moving forward." His words were confident and unworried, making much less of the situation than it really was but Roman didn't need the detailed version. He had other interests and work had never really concerned him. On the other hand, his eldest son was getting<i>too</i>ambitious for his own good. He needed to figure out how to curb that.<br/><br/>"How was practice? The kids are all doing well?" Hale changed the subject, sitting back down at the table. They were bringing dinner in finally, and he had an extra plate brought in for his son. He'd not taken a meal sitting down since before his major announcement the day prior, but with it all finally handled and men set in motion to do what needed to be done, he could take the time to breath for just a moment.
