Faz shot upright in his bed, he was drenched in sweat, breathing heavily. 'Was... was that all a dream?' Faz quickly got up, noting that he was still in his suit and quickly ran into the bathroom. He looked at himself in the mirror and pulled down his collar. His eyes widened and he turned pale, there on his neck.. was an upside down cross. He felt tears prick in his eyes. "D-did I kill... a-all those men?" He leaned against the cabinets and slowly slid down. Just when he was one step from breaking down there was a knock at his door. He sucked in his breathe and assumed the worst.
"Knock~ Knock!~" Came a familiar voice and Jerry bursted in. "Heyyyy Roomie!! The boss is calling for ya!" Faz wiped his face and got up, he kinda liked Jerry. He was the only person that was nice to him since this whole ordeal went down. Faz wished they could've met differently, they could've been friends. He got up from the floor and brushed himself off, making his way towards Jerry. "T-the boss?" Faz muttered. Jerry nodded. "Yep!! And say good bye to this room forever!!" Faz looked a bit confused. "Um.. what?" He asked which only made Jerry's grin wider. "You're already moving up the ranks! You're gonna be living with us on the top floor! That's where all the bigshots are at!" Faz looked really confused. "B-but why?"
Jerry's grin darkened and he showed all his sharp teeth. "Well what do you think silly? You did such a good job, murdering all those men and protecting my older bro- I mean boss!" Faz was so stricken bu the murder part, he didn't even register anything else. He started hyperventilating and swaying a bit, "t-that r-really happened?" Jerry nodded and looked at him, not really minding that Faz was losing it. He felt his vision blur and slowly started falling. "Oh shit" was all he heard from Jerry, before plummeting into darkness.

"You're all old enough to have one" DK said, they were in the woods at the time, He took out three guns. Max gasped and immediately took one, pointing it at everything, Alex was a bit hesitant, but he took one nonetheless and started aiming it at randomly things in the woods. Faz.. well he stared at it. He... didn't want to touch it. DK patted him on the head, "what's wrong?" He asked and Faz looked up at him. "I don't want it" Faz said softly. DK crouched down and looked him in the eyes. "I wouldn't give it to you if.. if daddy wasn't so old. I want you boys to protect yourselves, in case something happens" he pulled Faz into a hug. "Especially you, You're my youngest and I would hate to have anything happen to you" Faz hugged him back, letting his words sink in. Before he could answer, Max spoke up, "Don't worry daddy! We'll protect Faz for ya!" DK smiled at them and Faz was relieved.
It didn't last long.
Faz was squirming, struggling, he was pulling on his restraints. He heard deep voices talking, but he couldn't see out of his blindfold. What were they gonna do to him? What's gonna happen? He doesn't remember much, he didn't wanna remember, there was something cold and metallic pressing against his head, he heard a gunshot, but nothing happened to him. He heard Max shouting as the object against his head disappeared and he heard grunting, thudding. Was this... all because of him? He was lifted up by someone , at first he panicked, but then he recognized their scent, Alex.
When they got back home. Max untied him and took of his blindfold. Faz teared up as he saw how Max and Alex looked. They were hurt... badly. He started crying and hugged Max, not noticing him wince. "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry" Faz said and kept repeating it. DK entered the room and pried Faz off Max. He lifted up his chin and took off his mask. Faz sniffled and looked at him, DK smiled sadly. "Don't cry. Be a big boy and be brave. Max and Alex brought you back alive, be grateful you're still living." Faz hiccuped and took those words to heart
Forever.

Faz slowly woke up and rubbed his eyes. 'Where am I?' He thought before realizing where he was and slumped back in his new bed. Jerry must've carried him in. He curled up in a ball and bit back tears, He's still alive right? That should be counted for something. He flinched when he heard large footsteps. He shuddered, he recognized those footsteps, they put so much fear into him. He heard the door slowly open and he immediately pretended to be asleep, this is how he got out of eating Max's breakfast, that kid needed lessons. Jamey took one look around the room before entering and closing the door behind him
