            Gibson's bar & steakhouse... (Chicago)

Henry sat in a chair, at the farther end of the restaurant.. with a cigarette in his hand.

Even though, he's sitting next to the window, but he's still hidden from everyone's eyes...

But he can clearly see anyone, that comes in or goes out of the restaurant from where he's sitting.

He balanced his cigarette stick between his lips... and sucked in a good amount of smoke.

Seconds later, he puffed some smoke out, watching the smoke comes our from both his nostrils and mouth...he smiled in satisfaction.

He reached for his bottle of beer on the table, then took a few gulps.

"Mr O'Briens" someone called him.

He lifted his head slowly, he smirked when he saw who it was.

"You kept me waiting" Henry state.

"I know, I'm sorry"

Henry simply nodded, he gestured towards the chair in front of him.. his guest quickly sat down.

"What?" Henry asked. "Did you tell him about the new development?"

"Yes" he answered.

"What did he say? Any instructions from him?" Henry asked.

His guest nodded, he reached for an envelope in his pocket and dropped it on the table.

Henry reached for it, he took a peek inside and frowned.

"What is the meaning of this?" He asked.

"Your grandfather said you'd understand once you saw it"

Henry quickly ripped the envelope open, he stared at the pictures once after the other...his jaw clenched in anger as he stared at them.

"Someone sent this pictures and files to your grandfather two days ago..."

"Who sent it?" Henry growled lowly.

His guest shook his head, his eyes stayed fixed at something behind Henry...his eyes narrowed.

"Someone is watching us" he said.

Henry turned slightly, he tried to take a peek but couldn't..he decided to ignore it.

"My boys will take care of him, continue"

His guest nodded.

"Your grandfather said you should wait, he said taking any step now will expose your plans to the enemy"

Henry frowned, he squeezed the picture in his hands and gritted his teeth.

"I should wait? Why don't we strike now that Thanatos is down?"

"I don't know, Mr O'Briens...I have delivered the message"

Henry clenched his jaw and balled his fist, he grind his teeth.

"Tell grandfather, I'll visit him tomorrow"

"Yes, sir"

He snatched his bottle of beer off the table, and took gulps.. he slammed it on the table when he's had enough.

"What about the boy?" He asked.

"He's heavily guarded, we went to his school but couldn't get near him... His father's men are hanging around the school"
