In the underground gambling, Adrian took a seat on the other side and watched the gamblers play. Viper was on an 'official' business trip and as his right-hand man, he was the second in command to keep everyone in order.

As he watched the gamblers play silently, his mind drove back to Erika. When he'd revealed to her that Ethan was dead, she'd immediately rejected it with so much assurance. It was as if she was certain he wasn't dead which worried him a little. What if Ethan wasn't dead? he wondered.

"There's no way Ethan could be alive, it's just impossible," he muttered to himself with assurance when he recalled Ethan's lifeless body lying on the ground as blood oozed out of his head after he was shot. "That motherfucker is dead," he added.
