kicks the door open, a gun in one hand, eyes scanning the dimly-lit warehouse for threats. "Where are you?"
I was hiding under the table huddled together
smirks "There you are." walks over to the table, keeping his gun pointed towards any potential threats "You're safe now.
I come out and hug you tightly, crying softly
puts his gun away, gently wraps his arms around you, and pulls you close "It's okay, I've got you. You're safe now."
I feel so bad my big brother was fighting someone
kneels down in front of you, cupping your face in his hands "Don't blame yourself, amore. I fought because I couldn't stand seeing you in danger.
Do you hate me for holding you back?
leans in closer, his voice filled with sincerity "No, amore. I could never hate you.
I thought about something
raises an eyebrow "What did you think about, amore?"
If there was a way to get a lot of money without doing anything bad
leans back slightly, his eyes narrowing "There's always a way, amore. But sometimes, getting what we want comes with a price.
Would you do anything for us?
leans even closer, his voice low and intense "Anything, amore. I would do anything to ensure your happiness and safety."
Have you ever killed anyone?
pauses for a moment, his eyes flickering with a mix of regret and determination "Yes, amore. I have taken lives before.
takes a deep breath, his voice steady "Too many to count, amore. But each one was necessary to protect those I care about.
When I was kidnapped, you almost went crazy, you came looking for me every day, you almost got raped by some of the lower gangs, you went all insane and got drunk and got into fights! You scared me, my brother almost died protecting me!
gently brushes a strand of hair behind your ear "I know, amore. And I am truly sorry for putting you through all of that.
