I knew I was in trouble when Uncle Eddy and Michael followed dad and I into our room. I took a seat on my bed. Dad, Uncle Eddy and Michael chose to stand. I braced myself for the yelling that I knew was coming. I should be used to being yelled at by now. It's happened enough times.

"What is going on in your head Daniel?" Dad demanded right away.

"I just needed to blow off some steam. Gold's Gym isn't that far away. I didn't know Steve Borden and Larry Pfohl owned the gym. I just wanted to work out with the boxing bag. That's all I had intended to do."

"Did it ever cross your mind how stupid it was to wander around outside by yourself?" Michael asked me.

"I was born and raised in this city. I know it really well."

"That may be but weren't you paying attention when we were discussing beefing up security at the hotel for fear that Vince's group would strike back? How do you know someone wouldn't see you? Don't forget what happened in your room."

"I haven't forgotten." Today had been the first day in a while that I felt better. It was now just a dull pain. Working out with the bag had felt great. I don't think they'd understand if I told them that. "I felt claustrophobic and needed to get out for awhile."

"Danny you could have asked someone to go with you. You scared us when you left without telling us where you were going or left a note." Uncle Eddy said.

"I know but I didn't think there would be anything wrong with that." Okay that was a lie. I knew everyone would be mad. But I wasn't going to admit that. I knew that would cause more problems.

Dad shook his head. "That's the problem. You don't think." Okay now that hurt. I think he could see that hurt because then he said, "Look Danny we don't want anything to happen to you. It is very likely that they'll attack again. Shawn's already changed his story. Whether it was because of the conversation with Shane or they got to him. He knows what floor we are on. We need to be more careful."

"I know that dad but I just needed to get out of the hotel for awhile. Nothing happened!" I reminded him.

"But it very well could have." Uncle Eddy replied. "Just how did Steve Borden and Larry Pfohl know about your dad, Steve and Owen?"

I don't know how they would react if they knew it had been Bret who had spilled the beans. "I wasn't the one that told them. I was about to leave when Bret came in and accidentally let it slip."

"Bret?" Michael repeated. "I never thought he'd be the one to let something like that slip." Dad and Uncle Eddy nodded. "I'm just glad this trial is underway. This whole thing could blow up in our faces." He started to leave. "I'm going to talk to Jacobs about a change in security at the hotel and courthouse." He left the room.

I was now left in the room with dad and Uncle Eddy and they still looked pissed. I tried to pay attention to them but my mind started wandering. It occurred to me that I knew most people's reasons for what they did except the ones who tried to kill. I couldn't talk to Vince, Stephanie and Hunter, because, well, they were in jail. I did know of someone I might be able to talk to. "Where's Bill Goldberg?"

"I think he was released from prison a couple years ago." Dad said. "But we don't think he's a threat so don't worry."

Okay that should make the next thing I say easier. "I want to talk to him."

"You want to what?" Both of them yelled.

"Danny maybe you did hurt your head. Why do you want to talk to Goldberg?" Uncle Eddy asked. "I didn't think those two could be any angrier then they were before.

"I want to know why he almost killed my dad and why he didn't. I've learned from you guys that there's more to the picture. I need to know why."

"This is insane!" Dad said. "I don't want you anywhere near Goldberg. He doesn't know for sure that I'm alive." He reminded me.

"But I need to know! I could have agents with me to make sure he doesn't do anything." I was relieved when I saw Uncle Eddy nodding. At least he's on my side for this. I think.

"I can't believe you are actually condoning this Eddy!" Dad said turning his attention to him. "What if he attacks him?"

"I think it could be done. Don't get me wrong Chris I don't like this at all but if he did have agents with him and they met in a mutual spot he'd be okay. It's all going to come out Monday."

"I have a really bad feeling about Monday." Dad said quietly. "I guess my opinion on this doesn't matter. But Eddy if anything happens to Danny..."

"It's my hide." Eddy said as we watched dad leave. "I can't guarantee you anything Danny but I'll look into it." He left the room.

Well, that went better then I thought it would.
