Sitting in the attorney's waiting room Tim was thankful for the sunglasses he was wearing. If anyone could truly see his eyes they would know he was scared to death. He had no idea what to expect, what kind of plan Jenika had in mind. Chance had told him about the pictures that were found on her phone, the two of them in compromising positions. Had it been any other person explaining the situation to him he never would have believed it. But knowing, feeling the love Chance had for him brought confidence that she indeed would do whatever it took to manipulate everything.

"Where is Chance, you would think he'd be here for you, Tim" his sister remarked sitting across the small room.

"Em, you know why. He's here, in the room across the hall" Tim replied.

Chance sat alone in the room waiting for Jenika to be transported over from the jail. All he could think about was Tim. "Please let this be done with so he can get on with his life" he whispered aloud just as the door opened and she walked in.

"Oh thank God you're here" she stated as she shuffled in the door.

"Is it really necessary she have both her hands and feet cuffed" he asked the guard standing to meet her.

"It's horrible, Chance" she told him tearing up.

"I know sweetie" he replied reaching out to touch her.

"No physical contact" the guard stated as he assisted her to a nearby chair.

Chance took another chair, flipped it around sitting to face her while he leaned forward on his arms.

"Are you ok? Are they treating you fairly" he asked, acting sympathetic.

"I wouldn't exactly call this fair" she sniffed "I'm the victim of spousal abuse yet here I am in cuffs and chains while Tim walks around freely" she cried.

"It'll be over soon" he told her.

"Why...why haven't you been in to see me. I've missed you so much. All I've thought about is you and our last night together...it's..it's all that has kept me going. You still love me, don't you Chance" she sniffled more with a watchful eye for his response.

"Of course I do sweetie" he replied.

"Tell me again how much" she asked, testing to see if he were lying.

"Yes Jenika, I still love you as much as I ever have" he told her, forcing a smile as the words burned in his throat.

The guard raised an eyebrow "Seriously if he does, he's just as much a piece of conniving shit as she is. If not, well then buddy you deserve an oscar for your performance " he thought to himself listening to the two converse.

As the door to the office opened Stein stepped through advising Jenika it was time to come in. Chance stood to walk with her when he advised him that he would have to wait outside.

"No, he is coming with me. You work for me and will allow him in" she demanded.

Taken aback by her demanding tone, Chance looked at her now understanding what Luisa had been telling him all along. He questioned how he couldn't have seen it before and just what more she had put Tim through.

James walked in to bring Tim into the office. Dena, Emily and Bobby were advised they would need to stay in the waiting area.

"Are you sure that's a good idea, shouldn't someone be there to witness what takes place" Dena asked nervously.

"Momma, I'm a big boy, I can handle this. Besides, that's what James is doing" Tim replied "Don't worry".

Stepping towards him she touched his arm, "I'll always worry about you, grown up or not" she told him.

Leaning down, he gave her a quick kiss on the cheek, " I know, Momma" he told her.

"Good luck Timmy" Emily stated as he, James and Satchmo headed to Steins office.

Once inside the conference room of the office Chance was allowed to sit near Jenika however the guard stood directly behind them to ensure no physical contact was made. Ben sat on the other side of her while James assisted Tim to his seat directly across from her. Satch lay beside him with his head in Tim's lap as he nervously stroked the dogs fur.

"Damn that animal stinks, is it really necessary that thing be in here" Jenika remarked.

Satch made a small growling noise at the sound of her voice. "Easy boy" Tim whispered.

"Yes, it is necessary that Satchmo be in this room. He's part of Tim's recovery process" James advised.

"Yeah, right. Poor Timmy, this is just another pathetic display of him trying to make out he's the victim" she sarcastically replied.

"Jen, sweetie..please, if you want this to go our way, you have to be less snide with your remarks" Chance said as quietly as he could.

Tim heard his voice, the tone in which he spoke to her. Even though it was all a charade it still felt like a punch in the gut, he took a deep breath to calm himself.

As Ben and James hashed out the provisions in the agreement Jenika continued to make her snide comments here and there while Tim stood firm on the offer he made. Finally he'd had enough.

"Either you take what's been offered or you get nothing. Absolutely fucking nothing, do you understand Jenika. Sign the damn papers and ride off into the sunset with your fucking boy toy" he barked.

Chance looked at him in disbelief for the reference he made about him. He knew he didn't mean it but it didn't sting any the less.

"Jen, take the offer. It's more money than you anticipated, your career, no influence by him. Just take it and let's move on" he coaxed her.

Jenika looked at Tim then at Chance, trying to read both of them. Tim was genuinely pissed off which brought her great satisfaction. She stared into Chance's eyes, looking for any sign for distrust. Finding none, she finally grabbed the papers, quickly signing in the designated areas.

"Wise choice, Ms. Marion" Stein commented sliding the papers over for Tim's signature.

"Shut up, you're not getting one fucking dime of it" she informed Stein.

"Fucking bitch" Tim thought to himself as he removed his glasses to watch where the shadow of James hand pointed for him to sign.

"Thought you couldn't see" Jenika sassed.

"Not that it's any of your business, but I can only see cloudy shadows" Tim replied signing the last page.

"Too bad, I'd love to show him those pictures of the two of us in bed so he could see what a real man's dick looks like" she slyly whispered to Chance.

Chance had all he could do to refrain from telling her he had indeed seen it, tasted it, that he was the only one that ever would.

Tim heard what she said thankful Chance had told him ahead of time, knowing it was another of her fabricated lies kept it from bothering him as much.

Chance hated the fact she had mentioned them. He wasn't a violent person and would never stand for anyone assaulting a woman, but right now all he wanted to do was take those pictures and shove them down her two faced, lieing throat all the while smiling with her.

Taking the signed papers from Jame's, Stein advised the divorce proceedings were completed and they would be filed immediately after the judges signature was obtained for the divorce decree. "It should be filed at the county clerk's office within twenty four hours after the judge's review ".

"It damn well better be. The sooner this loser is out of my life the better" she barked.

"You can all leave now. Oh, by the way, the court date for the federal charges against you Jenika are scheduled for day after tomorrow at 1 pm. I suggest you dress accordingly and refrain from any detrimental behavior if you expect to be released " Stein advised.

"Are we done here" she demanded, glaring at her attorney.

"Let's go" the guard stated taking her by the arm.

Jenika quickly yanked her arm away, turning to Chance "I'll see you at the hearing, baby. I can't wait to have this all over so we can get on with OUR lives" she emphasized before smashing her lips against his.

"I said no physical contact. Move it, now" the guard demanded pulling her away.

"Sweetie please do as Ben says, no more outbursts" Chance advised her, trying to evoke a sense of concern for her.

"I love you, Chance" she loudly announced as the guard pushed her towards the door.

Tim remained seated with Satch growling as she walked by. "I'd say bite her ass but you'd probably get rabies" he told him, fluffing his fur.

Chance chuckled a bit at Tim's response feeling he may have done better than he thought he would. Now if Olena's information and Luisa's testimony would finally seal her fate, they could get on with their life, together.
