SEXAGINTA DUO

THIRD PERSON POV

nick saw clay falling out of it, he was trying to speak but his words where slurring, Nick saw the hurt, the panic that swept across clay in that moment.

He put his hand on clays shoulder, whether it was to comfort him or to make sure he was okay, it didn't work. Clay was falling. and he was taking his time.

phil was pissed, he felt hurt, almost betrayed, His own child, metaphorically, Had betrayed him. he spent his entire life dedicated to this family and it started with clay. Everything started with clay, and he went against everything, EVERYTHING, phil had ever taught him, ever showed him, ever helped him with. And in seconds, it took a single man, a single undercover cop, and it was all down the drain.

Phil could never stay mad at clay, he could never stay mad at anyone, well tommy maybe, But besides him. Phil was a very nice guy, he gave everyone the opportunity's he never had as a kid, as a young adult, phil had to work from the ground up and here he is, with a legacy he quite literally put his blood, sweat and tears into. He spent his entire life to create something that they could all have, that they could all share, So they wouldn't feel the pain he did.

Phil walked directly into the hanger, almost blowing through everyone without say. No one argued but some where worried. Oh who am i kidding everyone was worried. Phil was their father, some by blood and others not. No matter what the relation was to phil, they cared. Because everyone owed him everything.

Wilbur dropped what he was doing, his vision darting from phil, to laura, to niki, then back to phil.

all three of them where worried, you could see it in their eyes, The pale faces, the absent color that once lit up their flames. wilbur wasn't so much worried as he was scared. Laura was to pregnant for any more drama but she was worried. And niki was just scared. She's been the independent one in her life. Wilbur getting fame for being the only son, and laura getting fame for falling in love with possibly the perfect guy in this business. Techno could protect her, he could love her, And he was perfect, even phil thought so. But niki? She was left in the dust. She was a twin sure, but where was phil for her first steps? a mission. Where was phil for her first word? a mission. And where was he when she made her first kill? A fucking mission. And she had to go through with that pain, she wasn't prepared for that, for the guilt, the absence of happiness for years. Niki was angry, phil was never there for her and that was his fault. It was his fault that she went crazy after her first kill. That guilt she felt, it was more than guilt, It was anger, fear, sadness, remorse, Any emotion you can think of, she felt it. Everything swirled in her at once, In the exact moment she dug that knife into the rapists heart, she felt happy. She felt the exact emotion she wished she did. But that image, The blood curdling screams of the man as he died, in her arms, With his blood all over her. The emotions manifested, They brewed like a potion inside of her, Days passed and she trained, she absolutely threw herself into work, into making sure the world was a better place. But she was running, running from that guilt that she felt when she killed for the first time. And phil was never there to help her.

So niki stayed back. She didn't follow wilbur and laura into the office with phil, because she truly didn't care. there was that mask that fell over her face, except that's all it was. a mask. A fake identity, something we want other people to believe we are, Whether it's temporary or supposedly permanent, It's fake. and niki lost the real her that moment phil left.

Because he was running too, He was running from his past, He was running from the people who hurt him, who left him, but what he never stopped to realize is that he left his own kids. He left them alone with their emotions, and leaving someone while they are hurting is the worst decision possible. Because those hurt emotions will turn into heartless ones.
