Episode 8

Neal was lying on the couch, still struggling to move because of the pain in his thigh, but he deserved it or at least that's what he thinks. He shouldn't have gone to that room that night, but his urge to annoy was stronger and just because of that, he almost made a fool of himself in front of everyone. He hugged his pillow and was closing his eyes when he felt a hit on the couch and it ended up overturned with Neal rolling on the carpet.

"But what the heck..."

"YOU! I know what you've done, you turned my brother gay."

The girl threw herself to the floor and pulled his hair, while Neal complained, but he grabbed the girl's hair pulling it, gender equality, so she doesn’t get away.

"Let go of me, I just washed my hair..."

"Then let me go, first."

"No, if I let go of you first, you won't let me go."

"And what guarantees me that you will let go of me? Besides, you came to attack me first."

"I knew it, you messed with my brother... you turned him into a gay like you."

"What? When did I do that?"

"That's why your back hurts, right? Pervert."

"I hurt my back, stupid."

"I don't believe you..."

The girl pulled his hair more and Neal did the same to her, while at the door, Samael watched both, it wasn’t possible to have that sight first thing in the morning, it was like having a pair of children.

"Separate them."

The brown-haired man ordered and a guard held Neal and Josh held Anne, but they didn’t release their hair and when they tried to separate them, both complained of pain.

"Enough, I don't have time for your games."

As Samael raised his voice, both let go and Anne ran to her brother.

"Brother, I can't believe it of you... and why with him?"

"Because he was the only one available, so stop your complaints and go to work."

Upon hearing that, everyone looked at each other, their boss didn’t even intend to pretend, although obviously Samael believed that Anne was reprimanding him for taking Neal the other night when he went to the club, and also thought that she wouldn’t go out anymore. Anne made a face at Neal and left, that day because of Neal's injury, it would be Josh who accompanies the girl and Neal would go with him, take him to the hospital because he didn’t want that wound to get infected and then Neal wouldn’t be able to work. Neal got into the car in the back seat but leaned back, while Samael sat in the passenger seat; at the hospital, they sutured the cut, although it was small, it needed to be stitched, at the end they gave him antibiotics and got out of there.

"I hope with that, you think better before being funny again."

"You can't endure nothing, if I hadn't hurt myself, you wouldn't have made it past round five."

The driver coughed a little because of that conversation.

"I can last all night, the question is, how much would you endure?"

"I assure you more than you, I would have you underneath me, begging me to stop."

"In your dreams, you couldn't handle me."

The driver just wanted to get out to avoid that heated conversation, he couldn’t even believe they had gotten so intense that Neal had to go to the hospital. The car stopped in the parking lot of a restaurant, when Samael got out, he saw Dylan walking towards his car hand in hand with a girl, Neal could see from inside the car and oh, surprise, it was the scene where Samael first saw Emily.

The brown-haired man was about to walk there but Neal complained of pain, so Samael opened the door again.

"I moved and I think I tore it again."

Enough, the driver got out running, he didn't want to hear anything of those things, he respected his boss but it was too much. Samael was surprised, but he didn't say anything, assuming he was annoyed by Neal's complaints; at that moment Dylan and Emily got into the car and left, while Neal said the pain was calming down.

"I think I moved carelessly, it's okay now."

"You're an idiot."

Samael gets out of the car again and continues on his way, ordering Neal to stay behind. The raven-haired man sighs in relief, for now, he has managed to prevent them from meeting. Neal stays in the car playing video games on his phone, right now, Samael must be eating while making deals with other mafiosos. He puts down his game and stares up at the ceiling, so far, his CIA bosses have not contacted him, although it would be difficult to do so without arousing suspicion, which is good for him, he doesn't want to be under pressure. Besides, all he wants is to avoid ending up like the real Neal, maybe he did care for his sister, but now there is no such affection. It's not something he knows much about in terms of family love, in his previous life, he never had it.

Samael gets into the car with the chauffeur and they leave the parking lot, even though Samael looks annoyed, he supposes that the mafioso he met did not accept his deal.

"Damned son of a b**ch," he mutters.

Neal knows the reason why, that old mafioso wanted Samael to "lend" him his sister for a week and the deal would be done. Of course, Samael would never do such a thing to Anne. Neal clicks his tongue.

"I know where his merchandise is. What if there is an accident there? I mean, it could catch fire," he suggests.

Samael turns towards Neal, looking very angry.

"I'm not in the mood for your jokes. Shut up if you don't want me to throw you out of the car."

"Hey! It's not a joke, that old man is a pervert, so clear your sister's name."

"Were you eavesdropping?"

Neal stays silent, forgetting that he can't reveal what he knows or it will seem suspicious.

"Y-yes, I went out to get some bread, but do you want revenge?"

"Tell me what you know."

Neal tells him that there is a place where the said merchandise is located, or rather where it is harvested. The driver goes in the direction he is instructed to, as they must leave the city for a bit. They arrive at a place covered by trees and bushes, but there is a small path. They both get out while the driver goes off in another direction to hide the car.

They walk through a place until they reach a wall of bushes, and upon passing through them, there is a huge marijuana plantation, and Neal shows him a lighter.
