What is Love?

Past Revealed Part 1

NICHOLAS

"There, I told you everything I know. Now will you please show me my son?!" He asks angrily.

"Yes, of course. Thank you for sharing the details of her past with me. I had no idea that my father had done such a thing to her. I understand why she'd wish him dead and more so." I sigh, standing up and offeriing my hand to him. He grumbles and takes it so he can get on his feet easier.

"Is that all you got out of the story? How much anger she has built up through the years?! She is way more complicated then just pure vengeance! She has different layers like all women. Anger, sadness, loneliness, loyalty, not to mention love." He says following me to the basement.

"If she loved me, she would have come back by now. All there is in that woman is hatred and passion. I was willing to help her with both." I growl out.

"What is love, but sacrifice. Am i mistaken that she sacrificed herself for you? She ran infront of a bullet because of you. Boy, she loves you, even if she doesn't realize it." He says back.

I turn around to face him and look him straight in the eyes. He does the same to me as if he knows whst I'm thinking. I put my hand out in his direction.

"Give me your gun and any other weapons you may carry. I have no interest in dealing with you trying to save your son." He narrows his tired looking eyes and starts to hand me his weapons.

"If this is a trap just kill me right now. I'm not as young as i used to be. Nor do i wish to die in front of my only son." I nod, opening the basement door.

"Elders first." I say waving my hand to the stairs through the door. He chuckles at me.

"I'm starting to see why she likes you. You're nothing like your father are you, my boy?" He starts to ascend to the basement, i follow closely behind making sure he does not fall. These stairs are steep and I would very much like to have him alive to walk Carrot cake down the isle.

"Not in the slightest, Sir. Your son's cell block is this way. I like to keep the VIP's in a separate area away from the others." I can feel him studying the place thoroughly.

"Please help me! He kidnapped me! Sir, please! I beg of you!!" Screams the
Shlyukha (Slut). I had honestly forgotten about the witch. She's the one that thought it was ok to flirt with me and keep me from aeeing my fiance when she was in a freakin coma. I guarantee I'll be dealing with her later today.

"Who is she?" He asks as we reach the VIP area.

"No one of consequence. Just know that she won't be here much longer. We're here." I pull out a set of keys from my suit pocket and unlock the door.

I walk into the cell to see Josh eating his lunch. He looks up and glares at me but makes no other sudden moves. Mr.Jones walks in behind me and sighs, in what it seems to be relief when he sees his son.

"You have 20 minutes. I recommend you use them wisely." I say leaning back on the wall furthest away from them.

"Dad? What the heck are you doing here?! He could have killed you!" I wince at his tone. I wouldn't have killed him. I'm not that bad.

"Here I thought we had a good bro-mance thing going on. I feel so wounded." I say placing my hand on my chest and closing my eyes dramatically.
