Jay dragged the body sack into the big empty room and flung it into a chair. The person inside groaned and two men rushed over. They unzipped the bag and brought the man up on a chair.

"Greendale, long time no see" Jay turned around to reveal his grinning mask upon his face.

The two men tied his arms and legs to the chair as Jay watched with happiness.

"I'm sorry for your loss" Jay snickered "even though I'm the one who killed him!" He laughed muffled under his mask.

Greendale sat in the chair in a daze.

"Too bad Michael couldn't stop him, right?" Jay asked walking closer.

"No" Greendale said taking a breath "it wasn't..Michael's fault" he managed to say in his pain.

"Oh really? The boy who killed your wife, the boy who has one of the best kill times in the gang, the boy who's being a bad influence on your daughter? That boy?" Jay taunted his rhetorical questions "because he sounds pretty guilty to me"

"This time it wasn't fault" Greendale replied gaining his strength back.

"I see" Jay took his mask off and threw it across the floor "then who's fault was it?" He asked knowing Greendale's response.

"Yours"

"Mine?" Jay asked with fake innocence.

"Listen Jay, I don't have time for you childish games! Let me go or tell me what the hells going on!" Greendale snapped.

"Alright, I'll tell you what's going on" Jay put his foot up on the edge of Greendale's chair and rested his hand on his thigh "I want to make a deal" he said closer to Greendale's face.

"A deal? What kind of deal?" Greendale asked.

"Glad you asked!" Jay took his foot down and walked around the room "I'm willing to offer to leave you all alone" he smiled.

"What's in it for you?" Greendale asked.

"What's in it for me? Oh John can't I just do something from the kindness of my heart?" He asked with sarcasm followed by laughter from the two other men "okay you got me, I'll leave you alone in exchange for Michael Clifford" he grinned evilly.

"Clifford? But he doesn't want to work with you anymore!" Greendale defended.

"Well surly you don't want to be bothered by The White Faces anymore?"

There was a silence "well no but-"

"No buts, give me Clifford and I'll take my gang elsewhere"

"No! You'd still be hurting people! The only side that wins is your side" Greendale rattled his chair.

"Look John I didn't want to make this personal but you leave me no choice, give me Clifford and I'll leave your little girl alone" Jay snapped his fingers and the two men pulled a bag off of Melissa's head to reveal her knocked out into a deep sleep.

"Melissa!" Greendale yelled "Jay leave her alone!"

"Give me Clifford and I will!" Jay ran forward to Greendale.

Greendale sat in his chair to think for a moment longer "alright! I'll get you Michael" he said solemnly.

"Excellent!" Jay said happily uniting Greendale "get him to me tonight"

"Tonight?" Greendale asked freeing his hands and rubbing his rope burned wrists.

"And no later" Jay said letting Greendale stand up "take your daughter and get out!" He pointed to the rusty old door to the right.
