Jeremy knew that he couldn’t act upset at the exchange between Black and Tallis; it’d be too suspicious. He leaned his elbows on the table and placed his head in his hands until they stopped and she stormed out of the room. “We done here, Black?” Jeremy sighed, not letting his facial expressions give him away. “Aye,” Black replied, as he hit the gavel once more on the table and everyone fled the room. It was tense inside, making Jeremy feel like he was choking. 

He saw Tallis walking in the parking lot towards his bike, and he jogged after her until he caught up to her. He grabbed her arm, making sure it wasn’t too tight, and turned her to face him. She was upset and teary eyed, and although he couldn’t shake the mood he was in, he wrapped his arms around her and buried her face in his chest. “You know I’m going to kill Cameron, right, Tallis?” he asked with his chin on top of her head. “I’m going to wait ‘til the right time, but I have to do it.” He grabbed her ass, then released her from his grip and looked down at her, using his thumbs to wipe away some of the makeup trailing down her face. “I think you need a shot,” he smiled.

As soon as Solomon got out of the meeting, he whipped out his phone to text Kaci. "K, things aren't safe right now. You shouldn't be by yourself. Where are you?" He slipped his phone back in his pocket as he walked behind the bar. "I need a beer," he whispered to himself as he searched the bar for a Yuengling. As soon as he found one, he popped the top off and nearly chugged all of it.
