The silence in the green room was almost deafening when there was a knock at the door. Adam opened the door to find Nate standing there with Jenika. Giving him a questionable look why he brought a fan backstage Nate stated Tim told him to bring her there. Tim stood from talking with Chance, waving for her to come in.  He immediately introduced her to everyone as Chance walked over and gave her a tight hug. She fought back the tears as best she could as he said "thank you for finding me today". He stepped back to look in her eyes " I ...umm..I didn't hurt you, did I" he asked her. She didn't quite understand why he asked but assured him that he had not. Chance took a deep breath before taking her by the hand to come sit by him.

She looked up at Tim before asking Chance what was going on. He knew then Heather hadn't told her anything. "I guess I should explain" Chance began before telling her everything about the tumor, the behavior changes and why he kept it from everyone. Jenika sat there quietly, holding her best friends hands tightly, her heart breaking more with each detail he explained.

"Does Jasmina know about any of this" she asked as Austin offered her a tissue. "No...I haven't heard from her in over a year. That's over now" he shrugged "it's better this way".

Just then the door flew open as Luke walked in screaming "what the fuck did you just do Foust. Who in the hell gave you the authority to make that announcement.  Do you realize what you just cost me!" Tim stood drinking his beer matter of factly, ignoring Luke which angered him even more.

"And you" he screamed at Chance "you bastard, renting cars at my expense besides trashing a hotel room !"

Austin, Rob and Adam stood back arms crossed as Luke continued to yell and scream at all of them. Tim continued to drink his beer smugly, though he hated having Jenika subjected to this, he felt she would be the perfect witness.

Chance was becoming more enraged himself, trying to keep his composure in front her until Luke grabbed her by the hand, yanking her up off her seat. "If all of that wasn't enough, you brought this cheap whore to share with the rest of these losers".

Jenika swung her hand towards Luke just as Chance stood "take your damn hands off from her" he demanded, grabbing Luke by the throat one handed, pining him against the door.

Tim exchanged looks with the others, they all shook their heads no. He walked over to Jenika, having her step  away to keep her from getting hurt. Chance's anger increased, yelling in Luke's face before he started pounding him. Luke flailed his arms and punched Chance about the head and face in an attempt to get free. Chance tightened his grip as he plummeted him with his fist.

Rob asked Adam "how long do we let him do this "

Adam shrugged "well, we can't let him kill him, but he's had this ass beating coming for quite some time".

Austin looked at him in disbelief "y'all really gonna let him do this ".

Adam replied "you gonna try and stop him".

Austin shook his head "oh hell no".

Jenika yelled for Chance to stop,  but her plea fell on deaf ears. "Tim, make him stop. He's going to kill him".

Tim knew that look in Chance's eyes, if he didn't intervene soon, he very well could beat him to death. He walked over, pulling Chance away, causing him to lose his grip on Luke.

Luke fell to the floor, bloodied and rubbing his throat as he coughed trying to catch his breath. "You son of a bitch" he hoarsely yelled "you're gonna pay for this. I'm calling the police, your ass is going to jail"  as he pulled his phone out to dial 911.

Adam walked over "go ahead, make that call. Just remember there are at least 5 witnesses in this room to dispute every accusation you make. You harassed him, called his friend a whore, assaulted her and basically threw the first punch. He even has a black eye to prove you assaulted him. Self defense buddy,  so think long and hard about what you're gonna do next."

"You're not going to get away with this Rupp. I'll have you all arrested " he  yelled.

Adam kneeled down in front of Luke "if you don't want me to finish what he started I suggest you get your sorry, lieing ass out of here now".

"You threatening me Rupp" Luke retorted.

"Nope, that was a promise" Adam stated grabbing Luke to stand, kicking his ass out the door.

Rob and Austin were standing by Jenika to protect her while Tim tried to talk Chance down, getting punched a few times himself. Tim finally got him in a hold, lowering both of them to the floor  "take her out of here now" he told them.

"But Tim" Austin exclaimed.

"I said now, Austin. All of you, go!" Tim demanded.

They all made their way to the door, Adam leaving last "you sure" he asked. "Yes, I've got this. Call the police, I don't trust Luke to not turn this into a media circus crying victim". Adam nodded as he closed the door.

Tim sat keeping his hold on Chance until he felt his body begin to relax. "I'm going to let go now" he told him in a quiter voice. After all the episodes he had been through with Chance, he recognized the triggers that could set him off again.

Tim moved around to sit in front of him. Chance stared at him as a tear ran down his cheek "what did I do this time" he asked noticing the swollen lip and eye of Tim's face. Chance suddenly had full fear in his eyes "Jenika..where is she..Oh God...Tim did I hurt her" he cried covering his face with his hands.

"No..she's fine..you didn't do anything to her. Though I can't say the same about Luke" he replied.

Chance moved his hands "what..what did I do to him".

"Finally gave him the ass whooping he's been asking for " Tim answered wiping the blood dripping from his own lip.

Chance sat for a moment, starting to remember bits and pieces of what was said and done. Tim could see his muscles starting to tighten again..."he called her a whore...where is that bastard" he said starting to get up.

Tim pulled him back down "you took care of him, calm down and breathe " he told him.

Chance ran his hand through his hair "did I...uh...did I" was all he could say.

"Kill him" Tim replied "nope the bastard will live to see another day. Let's just say Adam assisted him in leaving in one piece".

"Great..just great...now I've got to worry about my ass ending up in jail" Chance commented.

"Don't worry, we got you covered, you won't be the one going to jail" Tim assured him.
