" you're dead meat. " i snapped , forcing myself away from techno.

" calm down , geez. they're not gonna hurt you , per se. just your dad. "

" i don't care. the 3 of you are going to die here. the building's littered with guards. "

techno took a moment to process that and stared at the floor.
" aw.. "
" what? " he glared at him.
" maybe i am soft. "
" what the hell are you talking about? "
" when you left , us three discussed you and your dad. i said i didn't want to kill him anymore , and harvey told me you'd made me weaker. "
i rolled my eyes.
" i really don't care if you decided to spare me. "

he looked up and shrugged quite blankly. " i don't know. it wasn't really 'sparing you' , it was more or less me not wanting to hurt you. "
" so sparing? "
" no , you're making it seem like it was a fistfight. "
" it kinda is dude , and you're wasting time. your life is just a ticking time bomb. " i blinked. i tucked the small knife into my back pocket.

techno fidgeted slightly and leaned his head to look down the hall. nobody was coming , nobody was going.
" you think we can stop it? "
i stared at him in shock.
" you want to stop the entire thing? when it was all your idea? yeah , right. "

" i'm being serious. we probably can if we work together. " he smiled and put out his hand.
i hesitated for a moment. " this isn't a trick , right? "
" no more tricks. we can do it. "
he nodded and i placed my hand in his, gripping on tightly.
