Chapter 49: Eyeing Sides

Nathan Dees was excited. He had been watching the three on three fight unfold from behind the safety of the car wall. When the Black Rats started their retreat, he probably cheered louder than anyone else present. His plan had worked.

Hopping over the cars in front of him, Nathan was the first to congratulate Gillian. "I knew I put my trust in the right man. Well done!" Nathan said throwing an arm over Gillian's shoulder.

Gillian was still breathing heavily from the fight, but still managed to sound triumphant. "The pleasure is all mine. I am just glad that these old fists still have some punch left in them."

"Well if you hadn't asked the twins to join us then the bluff might not have worked so splendidly!" Nathan said enthusiastically. Looking their way, he shouted, "Congratulations to you two as well. You did great!" The twins both gave a thumbs up and Gillian continued speaking.
