Never once has he seen his Isaac this frustrated, maybe in bed, but that is a completely different situation. Right now, as the phone in his lover's hand keeps ringing, he senses the complete irritation raking throughout his body. If Mason weren't here, he would have been all for making it go away.
"Hello, you have reached the voicemail box of-"
"MOTHERFUCKER!"
"Maybe he's not home." He coughs, glancing away as Isaac looks ay him.
" Very funny."
The phone vibrates and Isaac answers. As he's listening, he can't help but admire how well his Isaac is dealing with the pain, how well he talks. A good reason to keep him as he himself has trouble with socializing. Although, he thinks Isaac may have a few screws loose, but that could just probably be his way of worming his way past people's defenses.
"You're a fucking idiot." That was a somewhat surprising statement. His interest piqued as Isaac continued. Then, as he shot that spoiled brat, a shiver of arousal traveled down his spine. Oh, how he loved his Isaac.
"Shut him up." He goes, not because it was a command, but because his crying was starting to chip at his patience. He really hates spoiled brats.
"You think I give a shit about my son? My son, is the worst thing I have ever brought into this world. A fucking disgrace." His lover was...mortified? Why? Ruben Lozano only stated his disgust for having to call this brat his son. So why the terror? It didn't take him long to figure it out. Narrowing his eyes, he stays focused on Isaac, listening intently to every word Lozano says.
"Killing him, would be doing me a favor." His Isaac looked ready to end the call.
"You're full of shit Lozano." A defensive statement, very unlike Isaac.
"I can tell you that the bounty hunters, Locus and Felix, will not live to see the sunrise. Oh that's right. I know your Aliases. I know your faces and your scars. I know that you're at the abandoned quarry outside of town." He takes Isaac's pistol and takes cover beside the window, keeping a watch on his lover. He seems ready to bolt.
"I will find the people you know, the people you love, and I will make them suffer in your place-" It was an obvious bluff, but it he couldn't help but feel somewhat affected. Money was no longer the goal here, especially for his Isaac, who was now far more pale than he genetically is, who was now paralyzed in fear to stop Mason from taking the phone.
It was enough for him. His lover, his Isaac, lied to him.
"Codenames." Oh, how he hates spoiled brats.

It all went well. Ruben Lozano was dead and Seong-Han was safe. Only casualty? Maybe his calf if he doesn't treat it correctly. Mason left as soon as it was safe, back to his wife, and Locus, well, he just disappeared. He's still around, he can feel him, but he was nowhere near the living room. Probably making the thirty percent transaction to his account, which reminds him. Han's fourth birthday was coming up, and, going by the emails he gets from his foster parent - such a sweet lady - wishes to have two new plushies. A fox and a panther. He smiles. Han still loves those two animals. Perhaps tomorrow he can order those two plushies.
"Isaac."
He jumps, eyes going wide. "Woah there! Give a man a warning next time. You almost gave me a heart attack."
"Right, we wouldn't want that to happen, now do we?"
"Nope. God knows how much you hate talking." He chuckles and finishes bandaging his wound.
"And he knows how much you would hate to leave our child alone."
"Haha, yes, that's...that..." Isaac snaps his head towards Locus, breathing somewhat faster. "How did you-"
"It wasn't hard to figure it out. You wouldn't have reacted much to Lozano's bluff if our child, our son, was actually dead." Locus slaps him across the face, hard enough to make him stumble. Pain laced through his body as he crumpled down, the bandages on his calf now starting to stain red. "Why would you lie to me?"
"Because...because-" He gasps and curls up, clutching his abdomen tightly. A painful kick, but Locus always made sure not to fracture a bone.
"Speak louder."
"Because you would have hurt him!"
Silence. The only thing reaching his ears was Locus's breathing, steady, steady, then not so steady. It turned eratic.
"I-I wouldn'...I would n-never. No. No! I am not-! Do not say that! I am not my father!"
"...Then why do you hurt me?"
"I don't...I don't hurt you. I don't want to hurt you either. I only discipline you. There's a clear difference."
"What about earlier? When you..."
"I apologized. I realized my mistake, I said I was sorry, and I won't do it ever again."
"Do you promise?"
" I promise not to hurt you or my child at all." He leans into Locus's hand as he caresses him. Felix knew it was an empty promise, but he believes him. Isaac loves him and Sam loves him back. Besides, things have gone a lot better since they got back together two years ago. Maybe he did mean it.
"Good, good. You have much catching up to do," He sits up, letting out a grunt of pain, and leans on the sofa. "I have photos and videos of my...our son. Bring me my datapad and I'll show them to you." He's never seen Locus move faster than right then and there. In just under a minute, Locus left and came back with his datapad, already trying to figure out where the photos were stashed. He takes his pad from his hands once he sits down next to him. "What do you know?"
"I know his name is Seong-Han and why you chose the name."
"Have you seen a photo of him?" Of course not. Felix made sure no photo of his little Han stayed on any government file.
"No."
"Do you want to see his birth?"
"Yes." And so Felix shared the first video with Locus, shared photos of Han just weeks old, then of his first smile, videos his first words and steps. Then he shared the photos and videos Han's foster parents sent him. He knew Locus didn't like the fact two complete strangers were raising his son, his child, but Felix did his research. He knew the couple from his younger times and made sure Seong-Han stayed with them until he was able to get him back. Perhaps with Locus this time. "His birthday is in a week and a half. Do you want to help me find him a pre-"
"Yes. Defintely."
Felix grins. Maybe they'll be able to get Seong-Han soon. Besides, what is there to do now that they have more than enough money?
