Surprisingly, Grapes took the shots like scratches so she visited Terry the next day. She brought a bag full of guns but he did not know this until she put all of them on his dining table. He was so nervous of what she is planning to do that he stayed intact on one of the chairs until she’s finished polishing and reloading. Grapes finally spoke again, asked if he knows how to hold a gun. Terry immediately said no and added that he will never use something so dangerous. She just smirked at his statement before showing him how to. The muscular, tall woman also informed his about the guns’ composition and limits. Terry did nothing but listen that morning until he realized that he’s almost late for his job as a secretary. Grapes offered him a ride with her Cadillac. He gladly accepted it yet his happiness ended when she drove pass the town hall and went toward the gasoline station. The Mayor was there waiting for them actually, and he told them to follow him into the mini-shop. As they walked, Corth asked if the lad was receiving the lessons well. Grapes admitted that Terry is a silent learner so she can’t tell if there is any improvement. He didn’t disturb their discussion even if most of it is criticism. Terry was just blank but he hoped that he will know what’s going on if he continues to listen. After entering a hidden automatic door under the cash register’s table, he felt as if he was trapped. Everyone in town is crazy! All have secrets and issues that he would love to avoid are now engraved into his fate. He could run and escape any time but he remembered what Dr. Xef said and decided to give it a chance. When they arrived in an underground storage area, Terry just can’t believe his eyes; there were piles and piles of cash that were arranged neatly into squares which was almost as tall as him. It was mechanically placed into boxed and to be transported to a tunnel that seem to light up every time something passes by it. The other side of the area was filled with larger boxes and they encased all sorts of weapons, important documents, jewelry and original art pieces; he found out about it when the Judge was analyzing the starry night of Van Gogh with another stranger. Terry doubted their operations are legal – nobody could own that much money, information, treasure and arms! There was a modern office carved out from the walls in the center of it all, they entered that place before explaining how he could join their secret society.
