Uninvited

After speaking with Jason, Grant and Liam return to Grant's home. On the way, the brothers notice that they are being followed by individuals who hide in casual clothing and blend with their surroundings. Grant and Liam look at each other before continuing their walk. The individuals diverged from their 'usual' routine and focused on the brothers.

"We got a plan?" Liam said, whispering to Grant.

"No, not really," answered Grant. He winks at Liam, indicating that he does have a plan.

The brothers detour away from the individuals, tailing them. Grant takes his phone out and calls his father.

One of the individuals caught up to the brothers, they spoke to someone from a communication device in their ears "I've got eyes on them, it seems they're making a call."

The person on the other line says "They're likely going to a safe house, place the markers on the two and abort."

"Copy that." said the individual. The individual takes their eye out, revealing a robotic eye. They scan the brothers, showing every step that they take. The individual places their eye back and walks away.

Grant hangs up the call and both he and Liam arrive at an abandoned music store. They enter inside from the back and make their way to the front of the store. Grant moves the carpet, in front of the door, and he opens a panel, revealing a button. Grant presses the button, revealing a secret set of stairs, leading to somewhere underground.

The brothers go downstairs, with the entrance closing behind them, and into a small room. Inside the small room, there was a metal table as well as two chairs and a shelf full of stuff. Grant takes a box from the shelf and places it on the table and both he and Liam sit down.

"You sure this will work?" asked Liam.

Grant answered, "Don't worry, they don't know what we have planned."

A van is parked outside the music store and inside was a group who were listening to the brother's conversation. "We got them." said one of the group members. "Send them in." Another group member makes a phone call to someone and seconds later, a militia-like vehicle arrives, a distance away from the music store, opposite from where the van was parked.

13 Men in heavy riot gear, storm out from the back of the militia vehicle and proceed to charge into the building from the back entrance. "Search the perimeter!" said one of the riot policemen. They trash the whole music shop in reckless time, searching for the brothers. One of them finds a switch under the carpets and they flip it.

The same secret passageway opens but differently from how it previously but it didn't matter to them as they hastily made their way down the stairs, only to find themselves in a dead end. They tried to leave but the door snapped shut, killing two of the riot policemen. "It's a trap!" shouted the same riot policemen. Suddenly, gas began to cover the whole room. One by one, they began to fall unconscious as it turned out that it was sleeping gas.

The remaining four riot policemen were killed by Mikhail who ran into the music store with a silenced shotgun. After all of the non-trapped riot policemen were dealt with, Mikhail flipped the lever back to where it previously was and he took out the panel and pressed the button to the entrance that Grant and Liam were and went downstairs. He finds Grant and George playing poker, he asks "Are you winning son?"

Grant answers "Currently it's 3-2..."

But Liam interrupts saying "No, it's technically tied at the moment but unfortunately that's not the case as I've got 20!"

Grant slams the cards on the table in frustration while Liam celebrates. Mikhail exclaims as he places his hand on Grant's shoulder and says "Better luck next time son." Grant stands up and moves the shelf aside to reveal a small fridge. He opens the fridge and takes out a bottle of whiskey and hands it to his father. "Thanks, son," Mikhail said, as he sat down.
