I helped Pam & Eric make their suicide plan to trick Russell. I felt a tiny bit bad for harming Sook. But, I didn't want to underestimate Russell. With so much time passed, I had no idea how much research he was doing. It would be my luck he would find out what I was & incapacitate me.
After consisting our little trick, I headed back to the house for some weapons. With the daylight still out, I quickly stuffed what I could into a small duffle bag. I packed my thigh holsters, dual pistols, a few silver grenades & knives. With a small armoury, I headed back to Fangtasia. Eric was glad to see me back safe. I went to ground with him in the office until it was time to meet.

We took Eric's coupe to a fine art gallery. It was Russell's choice which made me uneasy. We arrived a few minutes before. That didn't give enough time to search the area without pissing off the mad hater. I used the time to quickly strap up.
"Hmmm, mind wearing those more often?" Eric teased as I finished adding the grenades & knives to my holster. There was space on the belt to store 3 of each.
"Leather fetish. I'll keep that in mind if we live." I laughed
"Something I'll hold you to." He whispered as he held me
"Enough flirting. We have 1 minute left." I said
"You get Russell to attempt the impossible. If he tries to kill you, I'll be right there. But, just in case." I reminded as I took one of my pistols & tucked it into his waistband

"Clip full of UV rounds. The recoil is a bitch so use 2 hands. Burst rounds, so keep squeezing." I instructed
"Where did you learn all this?" He asked
"We'll get to my past eventually. In baby steps." I replied as I cupped his chin
"Go on through. I'll sneak in through the side." I finished before heading off

Maria was definitely interesting & dangerous. The easy she went into handling her gun was odd. But, I decided to trust her & wait for my answers. For now, I focused on Russell. I wasn't going to be ambushed because my head was in the clouds.
The museum was empty. Guard bodies were strewn around the place. But, he attacked them in a nice path. I followed it as I found him staring at a painting. Despite his back being turned, I knew he sensed me & didn't try attacking. I waited in the doorframe for him to address me.
"Talbot adores this one." He noted
"Adored. I'm having trouble switching tenses, you understand." He corrected, getting cold deserved silence from me
"Why did you do it? Talbot never harmed you." He asked
"You loved him more than anything, more than anyone. So he had to die." I explained
