-Flashback -
"She was the reason i will never see my son," screamed Ace's father.
The sick twisted story fell from his lips. We all knew he was lying. He blamed the lost of his baby boy on Ace. Saying she did not know when to shut up that she was a disgrace. Cause she was the one that caused the miscarriage.
Eric was standing in the corner where Max placed him while Max walked around him. Mr. Mez was bleeding from his face. He was battered and bruised from Eric loosing his temper. Now Eric was stuffed into a corner so
He won't do anything stupid.
"Mr. Mez how can speaking cause a miscarriage," asked Max.
"That b!tch of daughter was stressing her mom with all the questions. She was always to loud and did know when to shut her f*cking mouth," he screamed.
Eric glared at Mr. Mez and if looks could kill well Mr. Mez would be dead but probably a very slow painful death. I watched as Max questioned him further.
Mr. Mez never told anyone about the loss of his child. He kept it a secret from everyone. He was our record keeper. He was the one that wrote down how many babies were born or lost by miscarriage or abortion. He would right there names times they were born. He kept records of everyone in our compound. He was our best one. We had about five people in that jobs and he was team leader.
He kept everything organized. So if he lied about his child how many others did he lie for. We beat the answers out him. Well thanks to Eric loosing his temper. Mr. Mez spilled every little secret. The beating must have been very painful. I was not there when it happened but i saw it from the control room.
"Mr. Mez how old was Ace when you started beating," asked Max.
Mr. Mez stayed quiet. Max looked over to Eric and nodded. Eric walked over and punched Mr. Mez across the face. Mr. Mez landed hard on the floor he try to sit back up but he could not so he just laid there.
"Eric grab the heal fast medicine. No numbing substance lets see how well he can handle that pain," says Max.
Eric smirks and walks off. I get off the wall and walk out the door with Eric and Max follows behind me.
"So how long are we going to do
This before we kill him," i ask.
"Till i have all the information i need," says Max.
Max walks away and i stand by the door. Some how Eric managed to escape his apartment without Ace noticing.
After about ten minutes Eric comes back and so does Max. He gives the vial to Max and Max walks into the room and i go with him. Eric is told to stay outside. I go inside and help Max pry open Mr. Mez's mouth. after we pour the liquid down his throat we wait till he starts screaming out in pain.
We leave the room once the scream gets worst and more consistent. Once i step out the room I notice Eric smirking. He seems extremely happy with the screaming he hears.
After a couple hours the screaming stop and we enter the room again.
"Is there anything else you want to tell us," says Max.
"Yeah, tell Ace I'm sorry that i did not kill her. That ungrateful little..," before he could finish Eric launched himself at Mr. Mez.
He hit straight across the face and started kicking him in the gut. Max tried to pull Eric off but Eric would shove him off. I reach for Eric's shoulder but i am punched in the gut. I double over holding my stomach. All you can hear is the gurgling screams of Mr. Mez as blood runs down his face.
When Eric backs away all we see is bloodied up Mr. Mez.
Eric walks away with a smirk on his face. When Max approaches Mr. Mez body all he does is spit up blood. Almost like a fountain. I am pretty sure he has a couple broken ribs that punctured his lungs. All i can say was he was dying and Eric was pretty damn happy with himself.
Eric stood in the corner. There was some blood on his face but mostly on his hands. He has an evil smirk on his face. Max watches Mr. Mez as he dies slowly but painfully. Frankly we could save him, but his punishment is death anyways. So why not just let him die.
After the death of Mr. Mez everyone leaves. Max yells at Eric but Eric does not give a sh!t.

-Another flashback-
"She is mine," says Loki.
I look at him with disgust. He has been babbling about Ace for the past couple hours. He keeps saying that Ace is his. Eric is seething in corner trying to stay calm. He having a hard time.
His face is red and his vein his pulsating in his neck. He keeps unclenching and clenching his jaw. His fists are in balls and his knuckles are white.
"If you were not going after her maybe i would have gotten my chance," says Loki.
Glaring in Eric's direction. Eric looks away. He looks as if he is trying to behave. He still in trouble from last times happening.
"Max do we have to keep him alive. We already know he is insane," says Eric.
"I know but the doctors have to take a look at him first," says Max.
Loki smirks evilly.
"You know she wants me," he says to Eric.
Eric clenched his fist even tighter. I beat if he had long nails they would be digging into his skin making him bleed.
"Shut the f*ck up, she never wanted you," he says.
"Are you saying that to make yourself feel better," says Loki.
"No I am not. If she wanted you than you would not have to send me death threats to keep me away from her," he says with a smirk.
"Well she wasn't yours she was mine. That little slu...."
Loki's words are cut off when Eric's knuckle meet Loki's chin. All you hear is a sickening crack. Loki's jaw is definitely broken. Loki lets out a howling scream. Eric slams Loki's face into the ground.
"You better watch what you say," says Eric.
I grab Eric shoulder and pull him back. Putting him back in his corner.
"Temper Eric. Wouldn't want you to get in trouble now do we," says Loki in a cruel erie way.
I lean on the wall as Max walks in with the doctors. They cross examine him. They say that Loki needs to be sent to the insane asylum. Eric does not seem so happy with that news.
"Aw is Eric upset that i do not have to die," says Loki.
I look over to Max and walk out the room with him.
"Why are you letting him live," i ask.
"The doctors say there was no way of preventing him to go crazy," says Max. I have no sympathy for this kid. He almost hurt Ace and she was all i had as family around here. Even if she was not blood related.
When me and Max enter the room we see Loki crumpled to the floor and Eric standing over him. His face filled with rage. I totally forgot he was in there and now Loki is dead.
When i asked Eric why he did it. He told me Loki kept saying nasty things about her. Disrespecting her. I am glad he defend her. But he didn't have to beat him to a bloody pulp. Lets just say seeing a kid's head smashed into the ground was not pretty, and the clean up was not the best either.
Loki is dead and I guess that is less to worry about for me. But Max is not to happy. He thought every kid gets another chance, but not Loki. Not when Eric is around and has feelings for Ace.
That is strike two for Eric.

-present-
Now you provably understand why Eric is on thin Ice. He was suppose to help Ace forget. Well lets just say he put a bad image in her head of him. If Ace finds out any of the secrets we covered up. I bet she would be terrified of Eric.
He truly is a sadistic ass.
But there is nothing i can do to stop those two. I just hope he does not hurt her. Cause if he does. He has to answer to me. And i am not afraid of him.
