The Snap

"Jack. A word if you may?"

Jack turned his head towards Eli with a scorn look. He glanced back to Daemon. "One moment… This better be quick, Eli."

Eli stood still knowing what he wanted to say, but those words never came out. "It's about Scarlett."

"What about her?"

"Don't you… Don't you think you're too harsh on the girl?"

"What is your point?" Jack hissed.

Eli rubbed the back of his head, sighing. "I'm really trying to find the words here without pissing you off Jack. This whole ordeal you have going on using Scarlett as your pawn to destroy our enemy. I just think maybe she should be allowed to make her own choice?"

Jack continued to stare at Eli, folding his arms now judging Eli's every word. "Are you questioning my plan?"

"No, not at all. V.I.R.A.L needs to go yes. But at the cost of your own daughter's free will. She is falling apart. No one her age should be held with that much reasonability."
