TORIN

I'm going thefuck to bed.

I want to laugh, but I force myself to suppress the urge. I don’t want to wake up Wren, not when she’s sleeping soundly. I want her to rest a little before what happens next.

My foster brothers are unhinged, but the fucked up way they talk to each other never fails to bring a stupid smile to my face. It doesn’t matter how brutal the threats are, they rarely come with any real weight.

ME

Torin, don't leave me alone with these two.

RYKER

Look who it is. My favourite brother.

GHOST

This motherfucker…

RYKER

Don't be mad, baby, you know I love you too.

Come join me for a drink, Dom.

ME

Can't.

RYKER

Why the fuck not?

ME

I’m sitting in a park with my girl asleep in my arms.

RYKER

Well I’ll be damned. When do I get to meet my new sister?

ME

You come anywhere near her and I’ll castrate you.

RYKER

Sharing is caring.

ME

Death is pretty caring too, when it’s quick and painless.

RYKER

She's gonna love me.

GHOST
