episode 5
my father's battered face breaks my heart and I shakeed my head
Mike
Dad I would do anything to protect you
Mike
It's okay just let me help you okay
Thug
He's probably stronger than you
Mike
I don't care. You don't turn your back on family
Mike
And you don't let a bunch of assholes hurt an innocent man
Thug
You got some mouth on you kid
One of the thugs chuckles while the other just looks bored
Thug
What do you want us to do. Boss?
Thug
Should we smack him around a little?
Elias regards Mike with an odd look on his face... It's almost admiration
Elias
I respect loyalty. I respect those who would protect their loved ones
Elias
But we don't have any time for this
Mike stand his ground, refusing to budge an inch
Elias sighs, crossing his arms over his chest
Elias
I don't care what you've read in all those books...
Elias
But there are no heroes in this world. Only winners and losers
Elias
Perhaps another time
Mike
Mike glare at him but he only smirks down at him
Elias
You seem like a smart boy. Try using some common sense
Then an idea strokes me. It's crazy but I don't know what else to do
Elias
Why should I? Your father has given me no reason to show mercy
With that he walks away from me..No... I need to do something. He pulse races and he can't believe what I'm about to propose
Elias stop in his tracks raising an eyebrow at me in the either curiosity or bewilderment
Mike
If you're looking for collateral take me instead of my father
But Elias raises a hand to silence them a strange look in his dark eyes
Elias
What would possess you to offer something so reckless
I look at my father's bruised and bloody face as he hangs limp between the thugs
Mike
Dad is sick he medical bills cost us a fortune. I'm sure that's why he borrowed the money
Elias
~Crossing his arms over his chest~
Elias
Sick? Is that what he told you?
He kicks Thomas in the side making him groan and writhe
Elias
Besides he owes my family money, not you. Why should I accept?
Mike
Well I'm less likely to be missed
Mike
I... don't have many friends..no one really special
Elias
What... Surprising and... Very interesting
Elias
Alright, Mike I accept your offer
But it's too late. As soon as the words leave Elias's lips, I being dragged of off by the pair of thugs. I can barely keep my footing
Elias
Enough. Let's go before I change my mind
Before Mike knew it he hauled to the end of the alley and chucked into a town car. Elias gets in shortly after and the car speeds away
The city lights blur past me and I enter an affluent area dominated by greenery
Mike's throat tightness the speed and severity of the situation beginning to hit him
Mike puts his head in his hands the sting of tears threatening overflow
Mike
I can't believe this is happening
Elias
~Looks at him without saying anything ~
Mike
You wouldn't even let me say goodbye...
Elias watches me his expression unreadable. But when I lift my head and meet his gaze. Something softer flashes across his eyes
Night falls is the car stops and Elias's cold mask returns. He steps out and Mike follows, mike jaw dropping at the enormous mansion
Mike enter an extravagant foyer lined with armed guards. It's then that the enormity of the situation hits him, making his hands shake
mike's jaw dropped even more when he saw the inside of the house
Elias leads you downstairs to a dim room. Flickering lights and a meager bed
Elias
This will be your room for NOW
