Lazarus Thorn: scratching the butter knife on the sotch Long time, huh? Years of betrayal, and here you are.
Fleming

Fuck off, Lazarus. You never cared about this family, anyway.
Lazarus Thorn

leans forward, eyes narrowing Oh, Fleming, still spitting fire, huh? But you know what? Maybe I didn't care about the family name, but I cared about you.
Fleming
9/21/2024
Sure, you did. That's why you left without a word.
Lazarus Thorn
9/21/2024
stands up, fists clenched Left without a word? Is that what they told you? That I just up and left?
Fleming
9/21/2024
They didn't have to. It was pretty obvious.
Lazarus Thorn

takes a deep breath, trying to calm down Look, Fleming, I didn't leave because I didn't care. I left because I had to protect you.
Fleming
9/21/2024
Protect me? From what, Lazarus? Our family isn't exactly a target for assassins.
Lazarus Thorn
9/21/2024
pauses, avoiding eye contact It's not about assassins, Fleming. It's about something darker...something we can't talk about here.
Fleming
9/21/2024
Fine, then don't talk about it. But stop treating me like some goddamn child.
Lazarus Thorn
9/21/2024
sighs heavily, walks towards the window and looks out You want to know the truth, Fleming? I was protecting you from the darkness within our own family.
Fleming
9/21/2024
Darkness? What the hell are you talking about, Lazarus?
Lazarus Thorn
9/21/2024
turns around, eyes filled with regret There were things I discovered...things our family was involved in, Fleming. Things that could have destroyed us all.
Fleming
9/21/2024
Jesus, Lazarus, what the fuck did you stumble upon?
Lazarus Thorn
9/21/2024
paces back and forth, hands shaking Drugs, weapons, money laundering...it was a goddamn nightmare, Fleming.
Fleming
9/21/2024
Shit, Lazarus...why didn't you say anything?
Lazarus Thorn
9/21/2024
stops pacing, looks Fleming in the eye Because I was afraid you'd be dragged into it, Fleming. Afraid that by speaking up, I'd put you in danger.
Fleming
9/21/2024
You really messed up this time, Lazarus. What now?
Lazarus Thorn
9/21/2024
runs fingers through his hair, frustrated I don't know, Fleming. I've been running for so long, trying to make things right, but I don't even know where to start.
Fleming
9/21/2024
We'll figure it out, Lazarus. Together. But first, tell me everything. No more secrets.
Lazarus Thorn
9/21/2024
nods, takes a deep breath Okay, Fleming. Here's what happened... pauses, recounts the events that led him to leave the family
Fleming
9/21/2024
Damn it, Lazarus. Why didn't you come to me first? I could've helped!
Lazarus Thorn
9/21/2024
clenches his fists, voice trembling Because I couldn't risk it, Fleming. I couldn't trust anyone, not even you.
