Lyle
WORSE. The 3 most dangerous men in the city are currently having a meltdown because the last pop-tart is strawberry
Friend
Are you having a stroke?
Friend
I mean i know your debts have you stressed but if you are seing things you might need therapy
Lyle
One of them just called me a 'blithering philistine' and threatened my bloodline. He's four. He's also in a time-out
Friend
I-m calling the police
Lyle
NO. Don't. Just...pray for me. The tiny one with the slicked back hair is trying to pop the lock on the cookie jar with a crayon
Friend
Fine ,but tell me how you suddenly have 3 kids in your possession?
Lyle

Marcell
(side eyes Silas and flicks his cigarette) Stop toying with him
Lyle

Silas

Lillia
(Steps forward ,raising the crowbar) Nice doing business with you

Unknown System

Unknown System
(rolls eyes) i am your system...thought my previous report made it clear
system suddenly dissappears and reappears behind him ,but only pets his hair
Unknown System
(Voice echoes in the darkness) I am here to help you...You want revenge, right?
Lyle
(His body freezes. He looks around the void, confused) Let’s say i believe you...What could you possibly do to help me?
Unknown System
(A devious smirk in it's voice) I could give you a gift. Something that would make them helpless...desperate. Let them feel a fraction of your pain
Lyle
(eyes widen) you...you could do that?
Unknown System
of course ,Lyle! just for you
(pretend they look like the caracters in the picture)
Lyle
(Suspicious, his voice tightens) Nothing is free. Why do you get out of this?
Unknown System
I get to help you! And the cherry on top is...if you succeed, I get recognized as a fully operational system! (it giggles ,a happy, unnatural sound) I really just want to help
Lyle
(Hesitates ,flashing back to the alley,the crowbar the cold laughter. A spark of desperate anger wins) Okay...Fine. If you can really help then do it. But how?
Unknown System
A wide sinkster smirk) With this
Unknown System
The only question is....are you ready to take the risk?
Marcell
Lillia you can go for now. get the team ready to take care of the body
Lillia
(bows respectfully ) as you wish sir. do you want me to bring the car around?
Marcell
(puts out cigarette against the) no i have a few things to discuss with these men in private. be back in 5 minutes
Lillia quickly leaves taking the bloody Crowbar with her
Silas
(sighs dramatically "did you need to have her break open his skull? he was adorable
Nico
(carefully holds the body ready to lift it but doesn't yet) "watch it Silas!
Silas
(smirks and leans forward careful now Nico the grown-ups are talking~
Marcell
(rolls eyes and steps closer) both of you shut up-
A sudden light envelopes them
Silas
W-WHAT? Why are my clothes getting bigger?!
Nico
(screams ,but voice goes from cold to hich pitched) Idiot! we are getting smaller
Marcell
(Hugs the shirt tightly as the rest of the suite falls to the floor inclueding underwear ,cheeks burning red)
Nico
(whimpers softly and falls cheek forward against Lyle's shoulder not having the strength from before) w-what is happening to us?
Silas
(Burst into tears hands moving to eyes) I don't know! Marcell i will rip out your throat for this!
Marcell
Silas compose yourself! pull on the shirt or else you're bare
Silas
(cries louder) WHAA! Why would you look you stupid-
Lyle
(Sits up holding head ) ugh...my head hurts
Lyle
(looks around. eyes widen at first but then a smirk follows) wow...just what am i suppose to do with the three of you now?
House in distress
Lyle
(Yelling from the kitchen)WHAT WAS THAT?!
Silas
(Yelling back) NOTHING!
Lyle
"Nothing" doesn't make that sound! What did you break?!
Nico
(Voice tight with childish furry) Your insolent vase offended me! It was in the way!
Lyle
(Storms into the living room) That was my grandmother's-!
You know what? Forget about it. Lunch Get your ass off the table
Lyle
(placed a single plate with on the table)
Nico
(glares as he gets picked up and placed on the chair)
Marcell
(kicks a piece of broken vase) Is this meant to be an apology?
Lyle
It's meant to be the only thing standing between you and starvation. Take it or leave it
A beat of silence. Then , a frantic scramble as all three dive for the food, devouring it in seconds with a feral intensity
Silas
(Brushing crumbs from his shirt) More. I require the second course
Lyle
That was the course. The only course. That was the last of the food
Marcell
(Stands on the couch,nearly toppling over) Unacceptable! A leader needs sustenance to plan!
Lyle
And i need a full night's sleep and a life without three tiny terrorists! We don't aways get what we want!
Marcell
(Holds up a shard of the broken vase like a shiv) Maybe we should renegotiate the terms of our imprisonment
Lyle
(Pinches thebridge of his nose) Put the ceramic down before you cut your chubby little fingers
Suddenly, Silas lets out an ear-piercing shriek
Silas
A SPIDER! KILL IT! EXTERMINATE THE EIGHT-LEGGED MENACE!
Marcell and Nico immediately adopy fighting stances, circling the harmless bug on the floor
Lyle
(Stares in utter disbelief)...You've ordered hits on people. You once made a man dissappear for looking at you wrong
Nico
(Eyes wide with terror) This is different! It's...leggy!
Lyle
(Scoops the spider onto a piece of paper and carries it to the window, muttering) I'm being held hostage by the world's deadliest preschoolers
As he releases the spider,he hears a suspicious scraping noise behind him. He turns to see Silas trying to pick the front door lock with a butter knife
Lyle
(Leans against the window frame,completely deadpan) You’re turning it the wrong way
Silas
(Freezes then throws the knife down in a tantrum) This is Humiliation!
Lyle
Tell me about it. Now, who's ready for a thrilling afternoon of watching me try to find my wallet so i can maybe afford some hot dogs?
