The whole place is quiet, it's a very embarrassing situation, especially for Duke. He thought nothing of it when Mister Jimmy called him and asked him to prepare a speech for today. He didn't hesitate to say yes because he feels like he owes the family, after everything that he caused them. To hear that Mister Jimmy actually took the opportunity from someone else just reminds Duke of how much of a terrible person the old Mister Futterman is. "I'm sorry, I didn't know that I was supposed to prepare a speech." Duke apologizes. " You can still take it, I mean it's on all our behalf."" Of course, he should!" Bella yells. " He worked tirelessly on the speech and you are going to take it away from him like that?!"" Oh, Bella, it's okay. " Barlow laughs, it's embarrassing. " I'm sure that the General would do a better job.""Oh no, please Barlow, do me the honors. " Duke bows modestly. " Yes, we might not have soldiers following us all around, but at least we aren't killers." Bella sp

Duke feels a drop in his chest as he looks at her, she is not joking. " Really?" He laughs. "Yes. " She affirms. " I am going to come into your room late in the night and I am going to kill you. Are you fine with that?"" I mean, yeah. " He nods. " If that's really what you want. ""Okay. " She claps her hands in delight. " Now enjoy your last drink and go back to your hotel. I am not going to be long."" Yes, ma'am. " She stops and smiles, like in a blushing way. " I used to like it when you called me ma'am. " She giggles. " That was before you killed my father and lied to me. "He rests his chin against his hand, he wants to tell her that he didn't kill her father, but what difference is that going to make?" What are you waiting for?" She demands. " Give me your room number, except you're scared." "I'm not. " He objects. He takes out a pen from his pocket and starts to look for a piece of paper, she is waiting with her hands folded. He can't find any on him, so he turns to s

Duke can't concentrate. He is texting Melody again even though she hasn't replied to the one he sent her before nor has she picked up his calls. " Hey, it's me again. Can you please pick up your phone? I know that I need to explain things to you. "He hits send and lets out air from his mouth. He waits, but she doesn't reply immediately. He sighs and drops his hand into his head. " She still hasn't called back?" Bloom, who is next to him, asks. "No. " Duke pockets his phone. " Maybe she is busy. "He knows that she is not. She has read every text, she has seen every phone call, and she still chose to ignore him because she wants to. " Yeah, maybe she is going to call back. " Duke tries to assure himself. " Yeah. " He sighs. " This is about Eve, I will try to contact Melody later." Duke runs his hand through his hair, he is trying to keep calm as he tries to concentrate. The church is getting filled up, he is in the last row with Bloom. He doesn't want to attract attention to

Duke's feet are transfixed on the ground, he can't get his head over the off statement that Mister Jimmy has just made. He wants to question him on what he meant by that, but he decides against it. He pushes the door shut and leaves the house. He dials Bloom's number and places it against his ear. He takes the picture and puts it in his pocket, it's not something that he wants everyone to see. " Yes, boss?"Bloom answers. " I'm at the Futtermans, pick me up now. " He instructs. "On my way, boss. "Duke ends the call and puts the phone back into his pocket. He notices a car drive into the compound and he feels his breath heighten. He is just about to leave like he is going to be gone in a matter of minutes, so why does Melody have to walk in now?She is with her mother and they look like they have been shopping, it's evident with all the bags in their hands. Melody locks up the car and takes all the bags from her mother. Her mother notices Duke and smiles as she walks towards him

119" Jesus Christ. " Duke drops his head into his hand, for God's sake he just got here. " According to him, it's a matter of national security. Life and death. " Bloom reads out. " That's why there are a whole bunch of us," Duke yells. " Why does it have to be me?""Maybe that's because you are good at Killing people, boss. " Bloom shrugs. Duke stops and studies him. " Is that supposed to make me feel better or something?" Duke asks. " Sorry boss. "" This has to be the only one, Bloom." He warns. "Any more of this and I will have to kill you. "" Got it, boss. " Bloom apologize. " I am gonna be here a few minutes before nine tomorrow. "" Good." He grunts. " Now, leave. "Duke turns and walks into the house. His elegant house was the one thing he missed while he was in Dunville. Each time he has to pretend as if he is not one of the richest men in the county, he remembers the luxurious home that he left behind. Gwen is watching the television from the kitchen door and that'
