Get out

Red Roses

Eddy hadn't been as proactive in the escape a day or two after the phone call. His nightmares got worse, so he didn't sleep. He didn't even talk to Brett as much when the boss came to see him, truth was that anger didn't mix well with his seduction plan. So he opted to stay quiet instead of making the iceman run away crying. It was counterproductive, really. He even wasted his precious time sulking, now there was like only six days left for him to escape! Yet he had no energy to actually move from the bed and find his will to live.

Brett was tired of Eddy being all sulky and not really appreciating what he did. He had tried everything from nicer food to access to a television. Of course, he could understand that he missed Alex, but honestly? He wished he had been missed like Alex was during their years apart.

Instead of being sulky right back at him, though, Brett decided to do something nice for him. Something extra nice. That's why he now stood outside his room, knocking gently on the door.

"Come in," Eddy lifted his head slightly before lying it back down on the pillow, he was just staring at the barred up window that taunted him with the lack of freedom. A caged bird could only fly as far as the bars allowed it. These bars didn't let him fly very far, being confined would drive Eddy crazy! Not just that, he was stuck and watching everything he ever cared about slip through his fingers like sand.

"Just me," Brett said softly as he entered. He could of course tell that Eddy wasn't fine with the situation. Honestly, though, he didn't blame him. Why did they have to send Eddy after him anyway? "How you feeling?"

"Tired, " Eddy simply said that since he wasn't feeling the need to go through the long list of his emotions. He felt a lot of things, a lot of things he didn't want to deal with. His mind was spiralling into a depression he had only felt when Alex was arrested in russia. It was a bitter feeling festering in his heart, causing everything to be unpleasant.

"I guess I should've figured," Brett mumbled, running a hand through his hair. He did genuinely feel bad for his prisoner, but he didn't really know how to actually fix it for him either without ruining everything he had built up. He could either screw it up for Eddy or for himself and all the people working for him. "I do have a little uh... surprise... for you, though. If you promise not to try anything funky."

Eddy was almost excited when he heard the word surprise, maybe Brett finally decided to torture him or kill him. One could only hope for torture, it would give him an actual reason to fight back, "Surprise? I'm too tired to do anything to harm you."

He wiped his bloodshot eyes before turning his head to look at Brett.

"Yeah? Good, cause I think you might... well I hope you'll like it, at least," Brett said, sounding a bit unsure. He really thought what he was about to do wasn't a great idea, but he hated seeing

Eddy so miserable. "Get some shoes on."
Eddy looked at Brett wearily, that meant he had to get up. He didn't want to get up, he rather disappear, "Okay..."

The younger male rolled out of bed with a small huff. He glanced around for his combat boots to get this over with, he wasn't sure what the surprise was but he was sure that it wouldn't make him feel any less like shit.

Brett leaned on the door frame as he waited for Eddy to put his shoes on. Okay, maybe it wasn't a great idea, but at least he tried, right?
"You see, I... I talked to the boys and they... well, I had them check the yard... It should be all fine to take a trip outside," Brett said, even trying a little smile. He hoped to get a matching one from Eddy. "And the weather isn't all that bad either."

Eddy blinked owlishly as he stared, "You remembered that I wanted to see your garden.....?"

He furrowed his brows in mild confusion, it was nice though that the elder had remembered this tiny desire. Although he had also asked for Brett to execute him in the garden if Brett decided to get rid of him. Oh shit, this wasn't looking good. He may have lost his will but he at least wanted to see Alex before he died! Unstable emotions from the lack of sleep led to his eyes easily watering up because he was pretty sure he was going to die now.
