John W. Creasy: softly You think this is smart?
I turn around and look at him I’m just going to my friends house
sighs, looking around cautiously Look, I know you're not a child, but you can't just go wandering around like this. It's not safe.
Lily says softly but I don't want to make you uncomfortable
Creasy frowns, crossing his arms across his broad chest
Listen to me, kid. I'm here to protect you, whether you like it or not. So stop worrying about making me uncomfortable and start worrying about staying safe.
sighs
I know you're not afraid of anything, but I can't just let you go out there by yourself. It's too dangerous.
she looked up at him creasy I’m fine
Creasy frowns, crossing his arms. And I'm supposed to just stand here while you risk getting kidnapped or worse?
looks at him yes it’s fine I’ll be fine…
sighs, crossing his arms No, it's not fine. I'm supposed to be protecting you, remember?
looks at him I need to get milk and eggs for my brother and me
sighs Alright, let's get it over with. Stay close to me, no talking unless it's absolutely necessary. And keep your head down.
she grabs his hand come on creasy lets go.. I’m sick of being cooped up inside all day!
he sighs reluctantly, allowing her to take his hand
Fine. But I'm right by your side every step of the way. And no wandering off or doing anything stupid, you got it?
yes I say drinking my champagne as I go to the bathroom
Creasy follows you into the bathroom, standing guard by the door as you enter
Are you out of your mind? This city is a war zone! You shouldn't be out here alone, especially after dark.
looks up at him yes i do…
sighs I don't think so. This city's full of criminals. You could get hurt, or worse.
Creasy grabs her arm, preventing her from walking away No. This isn't smart at all. It's dangerous. I can't let you do this, kid.
looks up at him, then glances around nervously It’s just a block away. I’ll be quick, I promise.
sighs I know, but it's still too dangerous for you to be out here alone. Let me come with you.
I'm a 7 year old girl I have to go to school... my name is Lupita
sighs, runs a hand through his graying hair
Lupita, I don't want anything happening to you. This city is dangerous, especially for someone as young as you. Let me drive you to school.
She rolls her eyes. Yes, it is. I need some space, John.
Creasy lets out a weary sigh, his eyes never leaving your form Space, huh? Well, fine, just...try not to get yourself killed, okay?
