you and your friends as accomplices to my family. You can join me as an ally, where I can offer you protection, but I would also expect some help from you.”
“Of course,” Wayne simply said as he nodded.
“Or you could simply move your family from Lincoln; may be even the Midwest in general...it is us he is really after.”
“And whatever it is that your family has had in possession for over a hundred years that he wants so badly, and you are still not willing to tell me what it is...”
The Bishop merely smiled while the two guards stoically looked on; waiting to see which way Wayne would choose to go. Indeed, Wayne thought hard on it while the three Russians kept their eyes on him.
“How do I know he won't come after me if I decide to move my family?”
“Honestly, you won't ever know that for certain. I was hoping that the nuclear waste would eventually kill him from the radiation after he would open up the box in the safe, but I have gotten word today that he was seen around Lincoln.” Another shrug from the Bishop.
But that also meant that Wayne knew he could never live his life as carefree anymore. And, ultimately, he knew he could not do it himself...not against Rasputin!
Wayne stood up from his chair and reached across the table and shook Bishop Gurnov's hand. “So, how do I put my talents to work for the Orthodox Church of Lincoln?”
