About an hour later, Weston and Lorette are back in the hotel. Weston groans as Lorette massages his sore shoulders. “Are you deliberately being hard on me?” He groans again. “I'm not as wicked as you might be thinking.” “Look, Lorette—” Weston resists a groan. Damn. That man has a hell of weight. “Some guys are immune to physical pain. People like Sanderson, you know? They are not tough guys by name. They went through a lot of shit to get where they are. No matter how you try, you can't hurt them with physical pain. But you can get through their wall through the shit, like traumas and all those shit they've been through.” “It's good to receive some scolding from you,” she mutters. “Damn it. Is that all you picked out from all I said?” Weston raises his head to look at her. “If it wasn't scolding, what was it?” Weston shakes his head. “You're impossible. But really you deserve some scolding too. We didn't plan to

“Damn it,” his father cusses at the other end. “I'm not saying you should do the bad stuff he's up to, you just have to know how to behave around him. I mean, he should be an ally, he's too dangerous to be an enemy. Even his father can't dare disagree with what he says because he knows the implication.”“So, what you're saying, sir, is that I should pretend to go along with him so he doesn't harm me?” “Exactly.” “I ain't doing that. I'll be mad at anyone who does that to me. And, by the way, you know pretty well those who act like that are cowards. Apart from all those, we both know it's impossible for me to be around him and not work with him.” “Weston…” “I can't compromise my integrity, sir. What is wrong is wrong. San is an enemy the moment I got to know he kills innocent people. I can't continue being friends with him, pretence or not. Not especially when he doesn't show any sign of wanting to change.” “His father is sca

“You're in bed, already. You have to tell me about your daughter tonight. You must tell me, otherwise neither of us are sleeping and I mean it.” Weston stares at her. With his head on her lap, he's getting a really dangerous thought that he knows he shouldn't be having. Not especially when he's alone in a room with Lorette and it's in the night and she's looking at him like this. He tries get his head off her lap but he can't. She has more strength than he thought she possesses. “Would you get talking now or you'll not?” She asks. Weston points to her hand on his mouth. She takes her hand off his mouth but her eyes remain on him. Weston is trying really hard to look away from her but he can't. Has she always looked this beautiful? He doubts that. If she has, he'd have noticed it. It must be some of that damn make-up she uses only that—his brain reminds him—Lorette just finished taking her bath and only slightly weird women

Weston feels his chest tightening even though he wants to deny what she said. He wants to tell her he's sure he is a better father and he will make sure his daughter doesn't go through any shit but…he thinks about it for some moment. He doesn't know where his daughter is right now, he got engaged with the wrong woman who doesn't care about their daughter and he's left his daughter with that same woman for the past few months.He swallows hard and stares at the ceiling. “Your father's gene is inside of you, so you have some damn traits of his inside of you but that doesn't mean you'll be cruel in the same way as your father was to your daughter. I mean…you care about your daughter,” Lorette says. Weston feels some damn tears in his eyes. He cares about his daughter…he does care about her…why the hell did his father not care about him? Was he different? Did he miss something? “And…” Lorette adds quietly, “I think you need to heal of those shit yo

Weston wakes up with a start. He isn't sure if it's in his dream or he actually heard someone trying the door. He listens for a few seconds. He hears some voices, they are muffled, barely audible but he's damn sure he can hear it. He gets on his feet and goes to the switch. He turns on the light. There is no light. The room is pitch dark. He tries the switch a few more times but the lights don't come on. What the fuck is happening?This is the first time in his life that he's turning on some switch and the lights aren't turning on. Since he's been born, he's never experienced a blackout and even if that was the case, a hotel isn't supposed to be affected, there are a lot of standby sources of electricity because of an emergency. “Break…” Weston makes out one of the muffled voices.He manages to get his phone from the table after trodding in the darkness for ages. He turns on the torch on the phone. He flashes the light at Lor

Oh, yeah, shit. The CCTV camera. He really can't have some cops questioning his ass right now. Well, he might end up being locked up in a cell for a few hours but that isn't what he needs at the moment. “Thinking about it, you have more to lose. If the lights come on right now, it'll capture both our faces but since your godfather sent me, I'll be covered. But if you let me go, it's a win-win for us. What do you think? We have just a minute left.” “Alright, you can go,” Weston says. “Your gun.”Weston frowns. “What?” “I'll need your gun to be sure you're not going to stab me in the back.” Weston smiles, he slowly lets go of his gun. He really has a lot to risk right now but he knows damn well he can't kill this man, not especially when he already heard about the man's son that the man is living for. “T for thanks,” the man says. He gets on his feet and limps away. Quickly, Weston stands up and rushes back

Santiago unlocks the door to the office and goes inside. He opens the briefcase in his hand and takes out the picture of a kid. He puts the picture on the table and takes out a knife which he slams into the picture. He leaves the knife pinning the picture to the table. He drops a piece of paper on the table before going out. A smile escapes his lips. He can't wait to have the damn man running over to him. Too much for having kids.All those damn people that pretend like they're tough, you threaten them with their kids and they come running to you. There is nothing more shitty to Santiago than running after his prey. They should be the one who runs toward him. They should be the one running to their death. That's just one of the reasons he hasn't discarded Weston yet. The shit ain't any satisfying if he's the one running after them, but when they come to him, either he tricks them or threatens them with a loved one or any of that shit that make

About thirty minutes later, he's in front of the orphanage. There is a security man by the gate. He walks briskly to him, brings out his gun and shoots the man twice in the head. He can't have some fucking people standing in his way. He storms inside the building. He sees a nun in sight. He walks over to her. She's still greeting him when he points a gun to her head. “Where is Hannah?” He asks the now trembling woman. “She's…she's…she's…” “You want to talk or you want me to blast off your fucking brain?” “She's inside,” the nun says quickly. “Lead the way,” Santiago says. After wasting his fucking time and almost slipping like hundred times, she finally leads him inside a room. A lot of kids are in the hall, they seem to be listening to an old man— probably the fucking priest—giving out instructions from the lectern. “Stealing is bad,” Santiago hears the old man say. “Hannah?” The nun calls.

“Daddy was smiling in the picture Abigail gave to me. And, daddy only smiles when he is with people he likes.” Santiago chuckles again. “How old are you?” “I am five years old. How old are you?” “Me? I'm the same age as your father.” “Daddy is…um…twenty five. You're twenty five?!” She asks in surprise.Santiago nods. “Yeah. Why?”“Daddy said monsters are old, like five hundred years old. And Father Richard said only monsters kill people. Does that mean you're a young monster?” The smile dies off Santiago's face. “I'm not a fucking monster.”“‘Fucking’? What does that mean? Do you have a dictionary? I'll look up the meaning.” “I mean, I'm not a monster. That's the meaning.” He glances at Hannah to see her staring at him. The glasses on her face feel like some gadget she's using to scan his thoughts. “What…” he clears his throat. “You can't see without your glasses?” She sighs. “It's a lon

Weston comes out of his car. It's been more than thirty minutes since the cop pulled him over but he's not responded to him since then. The other cars he pulled over before Weston's are long gone and the cop doesn't seem like he has anything he's doing at the moment. “Excuse me,” Weston calls the cop’s attention. The cop glances at Weston. “I'll attend to you soon, I'm quite busy.” “If you're not going to come check whatever it is that you want to check, I might as well start going. I didn't do anything wrong in the first place.” “You didn't do anything wrong?” The cop scoffs. “Was that how you were supposed to put on your seatbelt? Was that how you were supposed to fasten it?!” Weston frowns. “What?” Is there a certain way to fasten seat belts? “Come with me,” the cop says, already walking to Weston's car. They get to the car and t
