CHAPTER SEVEN — before and after


IT ONLY TOOK ABOUT TWO RINGS. Two rings before Billy picked up the phone with an almost cheery tone, finally answering Franks call.

"Russo." He chirped.

"Can you talk?" Frank asked him urgently.

He only called because he needed to warn Karen.

Lewis was coming after her and Frank has no intention of letting him hurt a hair on her head. Even if it meant having to go out into the world right after he had been exposed for still being alive.

It was kinda cute if I'm being completely honest.

"Uh...Yeah, yeah hang on." Billy responded sounding as casual as possible.

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" I whispered, my voice laced with doubt as I tried to keep my voice down. I couldn't help but be scared for him, especially under the current circumstances.

He holds up a finger before speaking again. "Heard you got a new client huh? Business must be good."

"If I believed everything I read, that's all down to you."

"Wouldn't put too much faith in that."

"Hope you're calling because you're reconsidering my offer. There's a lot of heat on you brother, we gotta get you out of the city." He paused for a moment. "You and the kid. Give me twelve hours I can have you two outta here, anything you need I'll get it."

"Lewis Wilson. He's coming after Ori. He's got no intention of letting him make that speech."

"Okay. And how would you know about someone like that."

"Told me as much." He said bluntly before hanging up.

"Yeah, what is it with you and this kid." He had a light tone of annoyance in his voice, almost sly enough not to notice.

"We have unfinished business."

"Well I know how you feel about that."

"Guy's got delusions of a grandeur. You gotta get the senator outta there but tell no one.Make sure you keep the appearance that he's still in that hotel suite. You set the trap, I'll spring it."

Crossing my arms over my chest I stare with curious eyes, wondering what Billy was going to do about this.

"You're coming here. Frank this is my work I can't just...Listen tell me where you are, both of you. Meet me, we can do this together."
