MANUEL: stay in here, I'll be...[ Fedrick glare at him]

FEDRICK: don't tell me what to do.[ he walk out of the room, Manuel followed him]

FEDRICK: why are you looking at me like that? I need to leave.

MANUEL: WHAT?[Fedrick felt the vibration of his voice] you will leave when I want you to, [ Manuel let go of him and walk to the sitting room with Fedrick behind him. he was surprised to see Frank, he walk up to Frank] MR Delgado, what brings you to my house?

FRANK: I was told my baby brother was kidnaped and brought here. [ Fedrick look at his brother, he quickly put down his face, he knows he's in big trouble]

MANUEL: your baby brother? I don't understand.

FRANK: well that little puppy hiding be...[ Fedrick stepped forward]

FEDRICK: I'm not a little puppy [ he frowned, Frank smile and shake his head, Manuel look at Fedrick, he hold his hand and drag him to his side, Fedrick glare at him] would you stop dragging me like some object.

MANUEL: you are not an object, but you are indeed a little puppy[ Fedrick got so upset he was about to say something when Manuel tights his grip and look into his eyes, Fedrick head went blank he didn't know what to do but to stare into Manuel eyes. Frank cough out. they both look at him]

MANUEL: I understand that he is your brother but Fedrick can't leave for now we still have things to settle[ Fedrick was about to drag his hand but Manuel refuse to let go] what are you trying to do, have you forgotten that you have not apologies to me yet.

FEDRICK: you said you don't want words, then what the hell do you want?

MANUEL: bring lunch everyday to my office, for the two weeks you created trouble for me, if you miss a day I'll add two days to it. you know where I like to eat lunch and I believe you know my office as well.

FEDRICK: what made you think I'll agree to do that?

MANUEL: well you have other choice as well and that is spending three years in prison.[ Fedrick was surprised]

FEDRICK: WHAT? [he look at Frank then back to Manuel] that's not true, do you think you can blackmail me to do what ever you want?

MANUEL: should we talk all about all you crimes then? lets see, stalking, physical assaults, attempt murder and..

FEDRICK: WHAT? attempt murder? I never tried to kill you, Frank say something [ he stare at his brother with wide eyes]

FRANK: well he is right Fedrick, I don't know about the murder part but if the police get involve you would end up in prison.

FEDRICK: I can't believe you are taking his side,.

MANUEL: is not about sides, am just stating the facts, so what are you going to choose? [ Fedrick look at Manuel angrily]

FEDRICK: fine, you want lunch. I'll get you lunch, don't blame me if you choke on it. [ Manuel laugh, Fedrick and Frank look at Manuel as he continue to laugh they where both surprised] why the hell are you laughing?

FRANK: language Fedrick.

FEDRICK: can't you see he is laughing like someone who has lost his mind, or is he making fun of me? [Manuel stopped laughing ] what?

MANUEL: you and that mouth of yours[ he looks at Fedrick lips, it looks pink and soft, Manuel felt parched, he cleared his troth and looks at Frank] you must have been so worried about your brother. I had no idea he is a Delgado.

MANUEL: yes, I don.t want to be label a man who made a Delgado an errand boy [ he smile and looks at Fedrick]

FEDRICK: am not your errand boy, am just doing this so that I won't own you anything.

MANUEL: is that so? well I hope you realize that you own me a lot.

FEDRICK: have you ever consider that your rude and cold way of treating someone got us in this mess in the first place? [ Manuel watch how he move his hand around and while pointing to him, he felt pleased when Fedrick said that they were both in a mess together, all this while Frank has been watching the both of them, he could see the connection they both had but don't seem to realize. from the way Manuel looks at his brother he could tell that they would become close in no time]

FRANK: let's go Fedrick .[ Fedrick was surprise]
