Their country had been suffering for the last year from varying, minor economical setbacks. When looked at individually, they would never raise a red flag. But when combined, a pattern began to emerge. He had assigned an investigative team but so far with no results. If indeed this oil leak was sabotage—He ran his hand through in hair in frustration.
Then his meeting with the elders was another point of contention. They’d been harping about it since Janel was born. No way would he grant their ridiculous demand. He told them straight to their faces, so no misunderstandings could be made, that under no circumstances would he obey their asinine mandate.
He would make it his personal goal to see that Mari never found out about it either. She would never understand their custom and he wouldn’t expect her to. It would never occur to her, and to tell her about it would only upset her. No, that was one piece of state business that it would be best to keep close to the vest, and if the elders brought it up one more time, he would send them on a research trip to the south; that would inhibit any additional discussion on the matter.
