As Casey follows Charlie through the door, tears streaming down his face and his body shaking uncontrollably, Charlie leads Casey to the couch as a voice calls "Charlie, is that you?" Casey freezes but tears keep pouring out of his eyes as his brother walks into the lounge room.

"What's going on?" Brax questions as he glances over suprisingly at Casey. He had only ever seen his younger brother cry once before, so it shocked him in a way that he just stood back, taking in the scene. He finally snaps out of it and kneels down in front of Casey, who's buried his face in his hands. "Casey?" Brx asks quietly, placing his hand on Casey's knee.

"Brax, everything is just too complicated!", Casey cries out. "Tell us what's wrong, Casey. We can help you", Charlie says, holding Casey's hand tightly. "No you can't. I-I-I--He'll kill you", Casey sobs.

"Who'll kill us?" Brax asks softly and Casey shakes his head. "You don't understand. I can't tell you or they'll kill all of you. H-he won't stop 'till..." Casey trails off before starting t sob uncontrollably, each sob making his body shake painfully. Charlie wraps her arms around Casey as Brax watches helplessly, feeling horrible. "I know what it feels like", Brax softly mumbles and Casey stops sobbing and looks questioningly at Brax. "Never mind", Brax says as he looks up at Casey. "That's not the point". Casey sniffs as Charlie rubs his back.

"Everything will sort itself out. It always does", Charlie softly says but Casey shakes his head. "He wants revenge. He won't stop until he gives me the scars I gave to him", Casey whispers and Brax frowns.

"What scars?" He asks and Casey looks up, his blue eyes horrified. "Case-" Brax starts as his brother slowly turns away. Casey stands up and shrugs away from Charlie and Brax.

"Just...look after yourself. I'll deal with it", Casey says slowly. "Case", Brax starts but Casey is already out the door, Brax's keys in his hand.
