CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE

Everything on the ground floor was quiet as Isaiah and Leviticus kept careful watch over Jeremiah and Samuel. And Jeremiah and Samuel kept a vigilant eye on everyone else inside the barroom. None of the Croats moved. And no one allowed their steely gazes to drift, either.

“This is a first for me,” Leviticus whispered to Isaiah.

“Delicate situation.”

Leviticus cast his eyes upward to the second-tier mirror. “You think he’s all right up there?”

“He can take care of himself.”

“Yeah, well, I hope so. I hate sitting blind as to what’s going on up there.”

“Don’t worry about Kimball,” said Isaiah. “He knows what he’s doing.”

“You think he’s making any progress with Tolimir?”

“One could only hope.”

Despite Jeremiah and Samuel, who were dispersed inside the room, Leviticus and Isaiah had become the focal points for the Croats. Isaiah could almost feel the heat of their intense glares.

He eased back in his chair, feeling his muscles tighten. Kimball’s time upstairs was stretching uncomfortably long. Leviticus is right, he thought. Like him, Isaiah hated sitting blind as to what was going on behind closed doors. “How much longer should we give him?”

Leviticus gave off a slight shrug. “I don’t know… I guess Kimball will let us know if diplomacy fails.”

“How’s he going to do that from behind closed doors?”

They immediately got their answer.
