Chapter 184 - Catastrophe Part 2

Andromeda had her second bottle of wine as she waited for them to come. Suddenly, a bike pulled over and she monitored it from the camera. Then, Fin entered with a paper bag of food. He put it on the coffee table and looked at the bottles.

"Hey, what's wrong?" He asked.

"We need to talk."

Fin sat down on the bean bag in front of her and looked at her attentively.

"How many times did you see Selina die?"

"Three times." He murmured.

"I saw her die last night." She exhaled. "Having this kind of vision is hard."

"I know." He looked down at the bottle. "I just saw her died in front of me, a woman fire a gun and she cover up for me." He muttered.

Andy stopped for a while and then she put down her glass and looked straight to him.

"I saw you pull the trigger and the bullet shove directly to her heart."

Fin became silent and then he reached his chest.

"Andy, what I saw might be the real one and what you saw is a riddle. I don't know the woman that killed her... But she said something, that I can't be with a Dragon because I'm a Phoenix."

"What does it mean?" She creased her brow. "We both can see the future... So if you got her pregnant which you will probably do, your child will be more than what you have. Like, in our bloodline is quite messed up..."

"Yes. That's the answer. But--we don't know. I must protect her." He muttered.

"You can't protect her once we are back to Madagascar. We must know what's in there." She poured another to her glass and drank it all. She hugged herself as she had never been so scared like this. She's scared that she might see something about her husband.

The door opens and Andel came with Moira with hard drinks. But they stopped seeing how Andy worry and drink more. He glanced at Fin and it seemed like they are talking about something really serious. He settled down and open all of the foods and told them to eat.

"Okay." Moira sat down and reached the beer. "So, what are we going to do with Nicholas? He just got bailed out."

"He's already crazy," Fin told and reached a bottle of beer. He looked at Andromeda waiting for her command regarding the psychopath.

"We have to catch Kathleen," Andromeda muttered. She drank again.

Moira put a hand over her shoulder to comfort whatever she's feeling.

"Andel, we need to put more security to Selina, the twins, and James..."

"Andromeda," Andel exhaled. "Isn't it too much?" He asked. Andy reached Andel's collar.

"What I see is real, I don't know where it will happen but we must be ready!" She nearly shouted at him. "I'm sorry." She calmed herself. "Everything is too much for me and I wanted to stop it all. And the next calamity will be more tragic--what our grandfather had written in there, we should know about it."

Andel exhaled and slump on the couch.

"Yeah, let's go there," Andel said. They all looked at him. "Let's go to Madagascar. I want to get diamonds for my Ellen." He said and munched the chips.

"We can't leave yet," Andromeda muttered. "We need to distract Yves first." She looked at Moira.

Moira rolled her eyes.

"I am not going to sell myself to that Yves guy." She told him.

"I didn't say that you have to sell your body to him. You are still going to be with us in Madagascar and let your man deal with Yves."

"Oh." Moira smacked her forehead. "Yes. Of course, tsk. Let's limit it a little. I don't want my man to look like a skeleton."

"Great." Andromeda finished her second bottle. "Okay, so, here's the plan. Since Nicholas bailed out, there are possibilities that he would get me because he's obsessed and crazy right now."

"That's a good thing." Andel murmured and check his tablet to monitor Ellen. The house is calm and she's already asleep.

"Andy, what about the Audi?" He suddenly asked.

Zachary put the briefcase over the coffee table and open it. He pulled the cloth and peek on it. He checked it and then when he's satisfied, he put it back on the case and enable the locks on it. His wife will probably love this one.

He arrived home and she wasn't home at all. It's already a quarter to two and she's not home. He removed his tie and his coat then the telephone in their room rang. He answered it shortly.

"Sir, there's a car outside and Madam is at the backseat. The driver is unidentified."

"Okay, let them in."

He jogged downstairs and waited for the car to appear on the driveway and the driver is driving an SUV. It drove around the fountain and they opened the backseat. The drive came out and a bulky guy, handsome and tall waved at him.

"Fin." he greeted him.

"Yeah, I came to our meeting spot and she already finished a bottle of wine."

"Thank you. I'll take care of her." He went to the backseat and he reached her and carried her into his arms. He kissed her forehead and she immediately wrapped herself to him. "Thank you, Fin." He said again. Fin nodded and get back inside as he left.

He walked back inside the house and take her to their room. He removed her shoes and went to the sink and prepare the basin with warm water and dumped towel. He placed it on the side table soak the towel.

He removed her clothes and pull his sleeves and reach the dumped towel and squeeze it. He wiped it on her face, neck, and parts of her body, then he tucked her in since she's used on sleeping naked.

He hid the briefcase and take a warm shower and snuggled to her. He couldn't sleep yet and stare down at her. He reached her face and caressed it lovingly. She got drunk and there's something big that she's worried about. And he's so worried about her.

"Zach..." She murmured and open her eyes.

"Yes?" He caressed her brows.

"Can I have water, please?"

"Sure." He slid off from the bed and strode to the counter and reached a pitcher. He poured an amount to the glass and then strode back to her and gave it.

She sat up and sipped on it with a sighed. She smiled at him and he pressed his lips. He caressed her hair and then massaged her head.

"Why did you drink so much?"

"We were just talking over something... And plans for the trip to Madagascar... Engagement rings..." She scooped her face. "I already brushed my teeth back to our conference room, so, kiss me."

He laughed and patted her head.

"Oh, darling." he kissed her forehead.

"Zach,"

"Hmm?"

"I always got bad dreams." She bit her lip. "I am tired of it."

Zach felt like her heart has been clenched. He caressed her hair.

"Let it go then. I am always here." He reached her head and make her lean on his shoulder.
