Within a few hours, they arrive home. Taking it easy with plenty of rest along with medication for pain, was the doctor's orders.

Adam knew that living with Tim, Avi, Kirstie and now Chris, there was no need to try to argue. It would just be a losing battle.

"Do you want to go lie down?" Tim asks as they walk into the house.

"Honey, I'm tired of laying down." Adam whines as he heads to the couch.

"The doctors said that you need to rest." Avi adds.

"And I will. But I can rest just as well sitting on the couch." Adam laughs.

"Would you like something to drink?" Kirstie asks.

"Guys, Come on. Ya'll didn't make this much fuss over Tim, and he had a bullet in his shoulder." Adam says, shaking his head.

"That's true." Tim smiles. "As a matter of fact, I was almost kicked out."

"Yea, Sorry about that." Kirstie giggles. "Well, it wasn't my fault you couldn't keep your hands to yourself."

"Okay, you want to watch some t.v.?" Tim asks, trying to change the subject. He reaches for the remote.

"No, no." Adam laughs, grabbing the remote. "I want to hear about this."

"No you don't." Tim says, shaking his head.

"It was nothing really, Adam." Kirstie smiles. "It was just me being over jealous of Tim and Avi's close relationship."

"Austin really put on a good show that day, didn't he." Tim comments as he thinks back about how angry Austin had gotten at Kirstie.

"He loved you Tim." Kirstie shrugs.

"Pftt." Tim huffs and rolls his eyes.

"Okay, bad subject." Avi laughs. "Kirstie, let's go show Chris his room."

He grabs Kirstie by the hand and motions for Chris to follow.

"We have three rooms that you can take your pick from." Avi tells him as they reach the top of the stairs. "This is mine and Kirst's room". He pecks on the door as they walk by. They walk a little down the hall and he pecks on a door across the hall. "This is Tim and Adam's room. There is a room right across the hall from their's and then there's two bedrooms on the other end of the hallway on the other side of the stair case."

Chris nods and opens the door to the bedroom that was across the hall from Tim and Adam's, and looks in.

"Wow." Chris says quietly as he looks around the large room. "This is beautiful."

"This room and Tim's room are both a little larger than the two other rooms." Kirstie says as she leans into Avi.

"This one will be fine." Chris nods. "Plus it's right across the hall just in case they need anything."

"Yea, that's kind of what I was thinking." Avi says.

"You're welcome to move in at any time. We'll give you a key to the house. So you can make yourself at home." Kirstie smiles as they head back down stairs.

The door bell rings and Tim starts to get up to answer the down. 

"NO! Timbo!" Avi says as they get to the bottom of the stairs. "Rule number one, YOU never answer the door."

Tim rolls his eyes and sits back down next to Adam. "Yes, Daddy."

"Oooo, kinky." Avi chuckles as he goes to answer the door.

A man with a beard and wearing a baseball cap smiles at Avi when he opens the door.

"Can I help you?" Avi asks.

"Uh, is Chris or Adam here?" The man asks.

"Who wants to know." Avi asks with raised brows.

"I'm Chance." The guy chuckles.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Avi laughs. "Come on in. Can't be too careful these days."

"I totally understand." Chance says as he walks inside the house.

Chance follows Avi into the living room where the rest were sitting watching something on the television.

"Chris, Chance is here." Avi announces as they walk in.

"Hey, Buddy." Chris smiles, standing up and giving Chance a brotherly hug. Chance turns to Adam sitting on the couch and gives him a brotherly hand shake.

"Hey, man. How you feeling?" Chance asks.

"Not too bad." Adam smiles.

"Mr. Foust, it's an honor to finally get to meet you." Chance says, holding his hand out to Tim.

"Just call me Tim." Tim smiles shaking Chance's hand. "Adam speaks pretty highly of you."

"I hope so. Me and the guys go way back." Chance says.

"Chance, this is ...." Chris starts his introductions.

"Avi Kaplan. Who doesn't know Mr. Kaplan." Chance smiles holding his hand out to shake his hand. 

"Wow!" Avi laughs shaking Chance's hand. "I love this guy already."

"And I'm Kirstie, the conceited jerk's girlfriend." Kirstie laughs, rolling her eye.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss." Chance nods.

"You don't need to use formalities, Chance. We're all family." Kirstie smiles. "Have a seat."

"So." Chance starts as he sits down. "Just who are we dealing with?"

"Truthfully, we don't know for sure. But we're thinking it's McGriff's gang." Tim tells him.

"Apparently, they plan on avenging his death and is hot after Tim." Adam says as he takes Tim by the hand.

"We also think that they are either watching him or they have an inside informant." Avi adds.

"That's not good." Chance says shaking his head.

"No it's not. I don't know who I can trust. I mean, it could be anybody." Tim says. "Plus, McGriff would have just came after me. But whoever we're dealing with might not work that way. They could strike out against anyone that I care about, you know."

"I'm not gonna be able to do much for awhile." Adam says. "So we're gonna need your help."

"You got it." Chance smiles. "One thing I noticed as I came onto your property, there were no security cameras. I walked right up to the door and no one knew I was here."

"That's a good point." Avi says, nodding his head. "I'll take care of that today."

"And we need to get those two packing." Tim says pointing to Avi and Kirstie.

"Packing? Where are we going?" Kirstie asks with a confused expression.

"No." Tim laughs. "You're not going anywhere. I meant carrying a gun."
