Bad Move

Every second felt like an eternity to Houston as he waited to see if anything was going to happen or if the time would count down that allowed him to make the first move. 

He hoped that something positive would happen before he had to do anything. He knew for a fact that he didn't have enough numbers with him. He needed people to be able to handle Brian and cover up what was going on with them. 

He only had five at his disposal which was hardly enough for what he needed. 

His eyes kept jumping between the house and his watch as each second ticked by. The tension for him was so heavy that it made it rather hard for him to breathe. 

He hated this kind of thing. Going down to the wire was never how he wanted to handle things yet these types of situations seemed to keep happening no matter what he did to avoid them.
