BLOODLINE

[MUSIC RECOMMENDATION: BORN TO DIE ~ KELLY CLARKSON]

Cortez chuckled, "I don't think I know what you're saying, Lady Hash," he replied nonchalantly.

Lady Hash sighed, "You know very much what I'm talking about; you know Larel is not your real family. I'm trying to tell you that your biolo-"

Cortez cut in before the woman could complete her statement, "I have only one father. And I know exactly where he is whenever I need him. The one you're talking about, I'm not aware. You're mistaken."

Lady Hash rubbed her temples tiredly, "Cortez, this is not the time to play carefree. I know you're angry, but I'm very much aware of what your real father is capable of doing," the woman said with worry marred on her face.

"Lady Hash, I'll only say this once. I have just one father, and someone who goes around killing his children can never be linked to me. Is that alright?" Cortez asked with a serious tone.
