Don't You Care If She Dies?

"Since when is he back?" Antonio asks. "We needed him to get some more information on the people that attacked Teresa before."

"He's been here for a while," Tyler affirms. "And Teresa knew about it. But she insisted on not telling anyone and not get anyone from the police involved."

"She knew he was here?" Kim asks still confused.

"Yes. That's why I sent her the texts about babysitting and why I guessed she was bailing on us. For weeks I've been keeping an eye on this drunk and I had to make sure he wouldn't leave the house. Pretty hard to do that when he wants to get his hands on drugs and whatnot."

"Go back. Why didn't she want anyone to know Theodor was back?" Antonio interferes.

"You should ask her that," Tyler says with a shrug. "I got nothing out of her, other than her telling me to keep him inside at all costs."

Antonio is then done speaking with Tyler, since he can't help them more than he already did, by showing them Theodor. He walks to the couch and speaks up.

"Theodor Logan!"

"What? I'm watching this cooking show..." he says without taking his eyes off the TV.

"I'm Detective Antonio Dawson. I work with Teresa."

"What does that have to do with me?"

"We need to ask you a few questions. Your daughter is missing."

"I don't know where she is," Theodor answers with indifference.

"Okay, there's one answer," Antonio says. "But we got a whole lot of other answers we need."

"I don't know anything, so there's your answer."

"A while back," Antonio starts anyway, "Teresa was attacked in the house. You knew something about it but then disappeared."

"Did I know something?"

"You did."

Antonio looks back to see Tyler, the one who spoke and basically told the cops that Theodor was lying.

"If you think those people who attacked out house had anything to do with Teresa going missing, then you should take him in. They were here for him."

"Huh..." Antonio turns back to Theodor. "Seems like you have a lot to explain after all."

"Wait, how did you know they were here for him?" Kim asks Tyler.

"Because he stole drugs from them. And then led them to our house."

"Why didn't Teresa tell us any of that?"

"Look, all I know is that she wanted to deal with this in a way that it wouldn't bring drugs back to this house," Tyler affirms. "She hated that there were any in the first place. We got rid of them as well."

"You getting rid of them is what caused the mess," Theodor accuses. "They wanted the drugs back or money, money that we could have made with them. You deserved to get caught in the middle of it."

"Hey, we don't deserve any of this," Tyler shouts as he steps closer to the couch, standing next to Antonio. "We don't deserve the shit father we have," Tyler spits, pointing his index finger at Theodor.

Theodor only chuckles.

"Are you going to tell us something now on your own free will or do we have to take you to the district?" Antonio asks.

"Look, I don't know anything. I stole drugs from some punks, turns out they were part of a gang and then they found me and came from me, and I figured I might as well just come home and close all doors."

"And then Teresa got attacked," Kim points out.

"We're taking you in," Antonio says. "Get up, while I ask nicely."

"Is there anything you know that can help us with this matter?" Kim asks to Tyler as Antonio takes Theodor to the car.

"I really wish Teresa had said something to me, but she kept me in the dark. All I know is that the day she was attacked I called her about a car across the street from us after Theodor got here. No one came out of it for a while and when then did and came to the house, I left through the back door."

"Okay, well, keep your phone on in case we need anything else from you, and tell your brother to call us."

"I will."

Kim gets out of the house and goes to the car. Inside Theodor starts annoying them.

"Look, if you're not going to say anything about the people that attacked Teresa, you might as well just be quiet."

"Why would I say anything that could get me arrested to the cops?"

"Because it might help getting Teresa back, safe and sound."

Theodor just looked out the window, uninterested.

"Don't you care if she dies?" Kim asks in a higher tone.

"Would she care if she died?" Theodor asks.

"What?" Kim furrows her brows, confused.

"I'm just saying, Teresa Logan is just as much of me as I am. Maybe she doesn't care if she dies. Maybe she went off to get some drugs herself. Have you wondered if you're looking for someone who doesn't want to be found?"

Kim looks at Antonio, who gazes at Theodor through the rear-view mirror, but they both stay quiet.
