But Henry didn't have him.
Harrison looked up at him, blood dripping out of his mouth. "Kid.. Leave me here. The police are gonna find you."
"I don't wanna leave you... I can't." Henry whimpered."You have to." Harrison coughed. "Good luck, Henry. You've got this." He closed his eyes.
Henry let out a choked sob, but put him down. He pulled his mask down and slinked away.
Matthew Harpen watched him go. He ran over to his son, who was laying limply on the ground. Then he leaned into his police walkie-talkie and said "I want all of the Macklemores in jail. If you see one, bring it in." He said it as if they were animals in need of detaining.

Henry walked back into Grandma Helen's destroyed home, his head hung low. He collapsed into Macklemore, hugging him tightly. He was trying to hide that he was crying.
"Woah, kid- What's wrong?" Macklemore seemed concerned.
"M-My brother- Masked Man- H-he-he's dead-" Was all that Henry managed to sputter through tears.
The Macklemores faces shifted to understanding sadness.
"Hey, kid... We get it..." Mackoy said gruffly.
"Yeah, we've all felt it." Mack nods a little. His face actually looked serious for once.
"If there's anything we can do to help-..." Mackenzie started.
"No." Henry stood up straight. "We have to kill Eminem." He growled.
"You're still not ready, kid." Macklemore sighed. "C'mon. Let's get you back to your dorm."~
After a struggle-free commute back to Henry's dorm, Macklemore put him down. "I'm going with you." Henry hissed.
Macklemore kicked him up into the air and slammed him into the wall. "...See? You're not ready."
Henry whined a little as he was duct taped to the wall. He wasn't getting out of this one.
Macklemore duct taped his mouth, too, then ran off. Henry squirmed uselessly.
Then his dad knocked on the door. "Hey... Henry...? I need to talk to you. It's about your brother." He glanced under the door. He looked at Henry's shadow.
"...I know you're in there. Open the door."
Henry, of course, couldn't move. He was taped to the wall.
"...Alright. I get it. You're mad at me." Matthew nods. "...Henry, sometimes... Things happen. Things that don't seem fair to you or me. And sometimes they aren't. Sometimes they happen out of the blue, and you feel like everything you've known has been a lie... Your brother was dealing with some bad people, and he got into a bit of trouble... they, uh... They killed him." His voice broke a little.
Henry shut his eyes tightly. Hearing it from his father made it hurt worse.
"...When you want to talk, please come find me." Matthew sighed and walked off.
Henry made a pact. He was gonna kill Eminem if it was the last thing he did.
