nothing lasts#15

#Evening, Angelo's office#

.

.

-Angelo: "fuck that charlie, why's he back and why's he still alive anyway?"

-Neithen: "because he's still too young to die and never messed with you master.. calm down. Kai won't get away with it."

-Angelo: "Neithen.. we're losing the fucking case"

-Neithen: "I don't know what to do about that master.."

-Angelo: "YOU DON'T KNOW" he yelled

"DO YOUR JOB NEITHEN!! THE USUAL!! BLACKMAIL, THREATENING, MURDER, BRIBERY!!! DO SOMETHING WHAT THE FUCK YOU MEAN BY "I DON'T KNOW""

-Neithen: "I apologize master, but I really have no idea on how I should act right now"

-Angelo: "think of something now.. come on think or you're not leaving this room alive"

Neithen took a moment to think before speaking again

-Neithen: "Master.. I say let's make the boy change his statement.."

-Angelo: "really? So suddenly? That'd be so FUCKING OBVIOUS you idiot! He's just an innocent little kid telling the story of what happened to the court we cannot harm him,

What if that causes us troubles??"

-Neithen: "sorry.. that was foolish of me to suggest.. but then how about we bring up the time when Kai broke into the company as a kid and attempted murder?"

-Angelo: "is it time to replace you.. Neithen? What the fuck is wrong with you these days?

Have you gone nuts?? Kai didn't even know Jay back then.. what would we say? That he did that to take revenge on me for killing his father and he killed Jay today for the same reason? If they start digging deep in that I may end up getting exposed.. I can't risk it"

-Neithen: "we have one last option left then..

We should buy the judge."

-Angelo: "... classical.. but I'm okay with it,

And since you're somehow becoming stupid and useless.. I'm gonna remind you to get the judge's that's in charge of the case background.. if he doesn't usually accept bribery don't bribe him and get me into trouble"

-Neithen: "yes master, I'll do just that."

.

.

While he was on his way to do his job, Neithen kept thinking about some things that got him confused

"That Mert pointed an important thing out..

What if Rony actually helped Kai with killing Jay? But why? They were friends and even buddies in crime as they say.. literally..

If Kai found out about what they did to the girl and killed them for that he'd kill them all collectively, why spare Rony? And it's impossible to know about it anyway, I took care of the mess they made personally.

Jay didn't mention anything about Rony hating it or causing him trouble for it so I'm sure he'd not help Kai killing them even if that was the reason.."

he shaked his head slightly then said

"Why do I even care?"

.

.

Meanwhile, Rony went to see Daniel at his house and asked Anya to be there as well

.

.

-Daniel: "so Rony what is it that you wanted to talk to us about?"

-Rony: ".. I- I wanted to tell you that.. Kai.."

Rony told Daniel and Anya about the truth but not the full one, he didn't tell him that he too, raped his girlfriend Mina.

Anya was completely shocked and terrified,

The only thing she was thinking about hearing all that was that the incident wasn't self defense.

-Anya: "you're.. you're telling me that it wasn't.. self defense?!"

-Rony: "No.."

Rony answered her then looked at Daniel who was putting his head down neither reacting nor saying a thing while trembling

"Daniel, you okay?.."

he reached out his hand to him as he continued

"Kai asked me not tell you but.."

Before Rony could pat on Daniel's shoulder,

Daniel hit Rony's hand away and shouted

-Daniel: "DON'T TOUCH ME!! Why did he do that!!? What did he do that for?!"

-Rony: "for mina.. and you.. he took revenge on them for you so you can peacefully move on."

-Daniel: "Revenge!? WHO THE HELL TOLD HIM THAT I NEEDED REVENGE??!!! I FUCKI- I NEED HIM BY MY SIDE TO MOVE ON PEACEFULLY NOT REVENGE!"

-Rony: "Hey, maybe you didn't need revenge but Mina deserved justice."

-Daniel: "AND WHO'S KAI TO SERVE JUSTICE!? He is just a kid.. who was supposed to graduate highschool and have a peaceful academic life then get a job and settle down.. it wasn't his responsibility... Not in any way.. Why does he always feel like it's his duty to do so?!! Why does he always put himself in the forefront? He keeps talking about how he's not going to give up ever.. but he's always ready to risk it all and put everything on stake for something unworthy as revenge without caring about what he might lose.. isn't that giving up?.."

He then got up from the couch and flipped the table in the living room then started breaking things made of glass he had around like vases while yelling

"HE LOVES ACTING CRUEL!! WELL LET'S ALL BECOME CRUEL THEN!! LET'S ALL GO CRAZY NOW"

Anya and Rony tried to stop him, but because of the glass shards flying around them, they couldn't go near him

-Anya: "Daniel stop! Please! Enough!"

He then got the frame that had a picture of him and Kai at the beach that was hanging on the wall and kept hitting it against it while saying

-Daniel: "I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU! YOU'RE NOT SOME HERO YOU BLOODY LOSER.."

when the frame finally broke, Daniel threw it on the floor and kneeled holding his head while crying

"Why does he always keep me out of things when they get serious?

Mina.. Mina was my girlfriend and I'm the last one to know about this because.. to him I'm just a weak person who can't bear it.."

-Rony: "he was just.. protecting you.."

-Daniel: "from what..? Isn't he the one who needs to be protected?"

-Rony: "Daniel, just be thankful.. friends like him aren't rare, they don't exist."

-Daniel: "be thankful that my dearest and only friend set himself on fire and is probably going to waste the rest of his youth in prison?"

.

.

Few hours later, Rony left and Daniel finally calmed down. He lied on the couch hugging his knees while Anya swept the floor for him.
