Alston still had another hour or so free before he was actually expected somewhere, so while he still had the rare free time, it was the perfect time to at least take a look around the area for a more permanent residence.

While he would have much rather walked the area to get a better feel for it, time was limited if he actually wanted to get a chance to see the most. So with a nod, the driver of the Company slider headed off to the Plaza Exchange area to see if there was anything available.

After an hour of driving around, without seeing anything reasonable, Alston was ready to give up. It definitely helped that he didn’t tend to stick around in one place for much length of time, because he had forgotten how much he hated looking for a place.

“Alright, that was painful enough for today, and I have a staff meeting to head back for,” Alston said with a chuckle. “Go ahead and head back to headquarters.”

“Yes sir,” the driver called out from the front.

Leaning his head back against the headrest, Alston closed his eyes.

“Sir, if I may, I might have a suggestion.”

“As long as it’s not worse then the last hour, I’m all ears.”

“My sister’s partner is a realtor. She usually works with higher end clients, so super discreet, and she’s helped out a few people at the agency with finding a place. If you’d like, I could ask her if she has some time to help you in your search.”

Alston sighed, he shouldn’t be defeated by something so simple, but at the same time, he couldn’t do this again. “Give her a call, see if she can fit me into her schedule.”

“Aye sir.”
