Chapter 25
Eddie and Esther were filled in on the shooting and what they had discovered about Olena.
"It all makes since." Esther says. "You took her boyfriend, technically speaking, so she took your's."
"Do you think she's planning on killing him?" Tim asks with a worried. "I mean, I know we're not together anymore but I don't want him dead."
"Who knows what's brewing in that warped mind of her's." Eddie says.
"But we definitely know that she wants you dead." Adam says as he takes Tim's hand in his.
"I got to get rid of her." Tim mumbles as he looks toward the ceiling in deep thought.

Chance stopped at the bar later on in the day for a nice cold beer. Business was slow so Esther was tending the bar while Eddie ran some errands.
Chance's attention was glued to the Braves game on the television above the bar. He didn't even realize that someone sat down next to him.
"Hey." A voice says.
Chance looks around, his eyes meeting Austin's. "Hey."
"You're one one of Tim's bodyguards, right?" Austin says quietly.
"Mhmm, Chance." He says, holding out his hand.
Austin smiles nervously as he shakes his hand.
"So, how have you been?" Chance asks as he glances back up at the game.
"Scared." Austin answers softly. "I don't want to die. I don't want anybody to die."
"I'm pretty sure someone will." Chance says. "I don't even know you that well. I'm not sure I can even trust you. You could be trying to get some kind of information for her."
"Even though we are not together anymore, due to my stupidity. And he's moved on with Adam, I still care about him and I don't want anything to happen to him." Austin says as he tears at the label of his beer.
"Well, you have those cute boyish good looks. You'll find somebody." Chance smiles. "And I wouldn't worry about Tim, he'll be fine."
Austin's face blushes as he hangs his head.
"My coming in here was not an accident." Austin says, glancing around at the bearded man. "I saw your car outside. I may have overheard her talking to someone on the phone."
"I'm listening." Chance speaks softly as his eyes are glued to the game.
"I think they may be planning another attack at the house." Austin whispers.
"When?" Chance asks.
"Tomorrow night. Chance, you guys be careful, Please." Austin says as he lays his hand on Chance's.
"Don't worry about us, we'll be fine. Thanks for the warning." Chance says as he turns his hand over to takes hold of Austin's fingers. "You just take care of yourself."
"If I hear anything else, I let someone know." Austin smiles. "I'll be your insider."
"That's a dangerous job." Chance smiles.
"No more than your's." Austin says as he takes out his phone and hands it to Chance. "Can I have your number?"
"It depends on two things." Chance says looking back up at the television.
"What's that?" Austin asks.
"Does she ever look at your phone? And when all this is over, will you go out with me?" Chance smirks.
"No, I have my phone on me at all times and yes." Austin smiles.

Chance hurries out to his car and pulls out his phone, going to his contacts, he pulls up Adam's number.
"Hello?" Adam answers on the third ring.
"Hey, is everyone at the house?" Chance asks as he pulls out of the parking lot.
"Yeah, we're all down in the game room." Adam tells him.
"I just got some crucial information. I'm on my way." Chance tells him.
"Alright, I'll watch for you." Adam says before ending the call.
When Chance got to the house, Adam let him in and the two headed to the game room in the basement.
Avi and Chris were playing a game of pool and Kirstie was playing a video game. Tim was at the bar fixing them all something to drink.
"Hey, Guys?" Chance says as he walks up to the bar where Tim was. "I got some information that y'all might want to hear."
Everyone immediately stopped what they were doing and joined them at the bar.
"I saw Austin at Fast Eddie's. He said that he overheard Olena talking to someone on the phone. He thought they plan on hitting here tomorrow night." Chance says.
"Do you think he was telling the truth?" Avi asks.
"I think he was." Chance nods.
"Oh crap." Tim says, running his hands over his face.
"At least that gives us a little time to get prepared." Chris says.
"Tim, I know this guy, he's actually a good friend of mine." Chance says. "You might say that he's in the Black Market. He's got all the assault rifles that you could ever want."
"Really? You know, that's not a bad idea." Tim says. "We definitely need to be better armed. Show Miss. Olena that we mean business."
"Do I know him?" Adam asks.
"I doubt it. He keeps a very low profile." Chance says with a shake of his head. "And he definitely doesn't look like the type of person that would have a shelter built underground filled with everything that you could imagine."
"What is this 'Angel of Mercy's' name?" Tim asks.
"Rob Lundquist". Chance answers.
"Well, why don't you give Mr. Lundquist a call." Tim says.
"Tim? You, Chance and Adam can go meet with Mr. Lundquist and me, Avi and Kirstie can start getting things ready here for our little rendezvous tomorrow night." Chris says.
"HOLY MOLY! This is like watching 'Scarface' or something." Avi says.
