It's 1:33 AM, why would he be screaming? That's when George remembered what the man did to Smiley. He decided that he was going to check what was happening in the room next door. The door was wide open as if someone wanted him to see what was happening inside. George peeked inside and saw something.

Something that he'll never ever forget.

Smiley was tied up to a chair crying and yelling to be let go and the man was holding a saw. He was sharpening it with a knife sharpener. The man got sick of Smiley begging to be set free so he put a dirty rag over the boy's mouth. He went back to sharpening the saw, then ran it over his gloved finger. It cut through the cloth and his flesh, then he smiled and spun around to face Smiley who's eyes were red from crying so much. The man walked over to Smiley and aligned the saw with the boy's elbow. Slowly but surely the older man moved the saw back and forth while Smiley was letting out screams of intense pain.

After 30 minutes of the man moved the now bloody saw against Smiley's elbow, his lower arm was completely detached from the rest of his body. Smiley was finally let go and the man grabbed the nasty cloth he used to silence Smiley and tied it around Smiley's wound.

"Go get a plastic bag from the kitchen and bring it to me" the man told Smiley.

"Yes sir,"

Smiley came back a minute later and gave the bag to the person who ordered him to get it. The man (who George started calling Peanut) placed Smiley's arm in the bag and threw is at Smiley.

"Here as another reminder to never lie to me again" he said. Smiley picked up the bag and left the estate. George decided that he was done seeing Peanut abuse Smiley like that. So he took matters into his own hands. He went up to Peanut and tried to tap him on the shoulder. Peanut turned around and looked down.

"What do you want, George?" Peanut asked.

"I wanted to ask you a question" He responded.

"Ok, go ahead"

"Why do you treat Smiley like that?" George had never seen someone's smile fade so fast.

"Why do you care so much about the way I treat him?" Peanut asked.

"Because it's inhumane of you... He's a person too, not a doll that you can toss around" George stated. Peanut just stared at him with his cold grey eyes.

"I don't want to offend you or anything Peanut, it's just that i noticed how you treat the poor boy and you have no sympathy for him...you just keep adding to his stack of problems." George didn't realize he had said the man's nickname out loud until Peanut asked what he called him.

"What did you just call me?" The man didn't seem angry, but George still had a feeling that he was going to end up like Smiley and lose a limb.

"I...the thing is I don't know your name so I've been calling you Peanut because," he paused, he didn't know why he chose the name peanut "Well honestly I don't know why I chose that name" Peanut just stared. George didn't like when he just stared at him because it made him feel inferior. Which was far from the truth.

After a few minutes of silence the man spoke, "You could've just asked me my name, I don't bite...most of the time." The last part of that statement threw George off for some reason.

"Ok then, what's your name?" George asked.

"Victor." After the name reveal both men heard the door open. It was Smiley. George thought that if he was Smiley he would've told the cops and never come back. But apparently they think differently. Also Smiley's eighteen and George is in his twenties. Victor suddenly became alert as if he saw something that posed as a threat to him. Smiley walked into the kitchen and grabbed as much food as he could. That's when Victor and George ran down the stairs, Victor because he had to be at Smiley's side at all times and George because he didn't want Victor to hurt Smiley.

Both of them ended up getting to the kitchen door at the same time and manged to scare Smiley. Victor pushed George out of his way and walked toward the boy.

"Why are you back?" Victor said. Not even a "hello"?  George thought.

"Can I stay here for the night? Penelope kicked me out again because i was late and woke her up" Smiley asked, "Please sir. I don't have anywhere else to go" Victor felt nice for once and said "Of course you can, love". "Love"... a name Smiley hated but he didn't say anything because of how Victor would react. Smiley walked past Victor and into the kitchen and ate as much food as his small stomach could hold.

"Did Penelope not feed you?" Victor asked. OF COURSE SHE DIDN'T MAN ITS LITERALLY 3 AM George thought.

"Um no...she was mad that i lost my arm" Smiley replied, "She says that i should just quit and leave you to do all the nasty work, she hates the way you treat me" Victor was silent for a bit. Everyone hates the way I treat you but i don't care. I love you so much and i want you to stay with me forever and if that means physically hurting you then that's what I'll do Victor thought.
