Nic pov.
This is bullshit. Aint no way in hell I'm stayin here!
"Nic it was for your own good." she says. I look up at the woman who brought me back here.
"How do you figure Lena?" I ask. She's scared of my dad I get that, but did she really have to rat me out like this? Guess that's what happens when ya don't like somebody.
"You're father would have killed you." she says. I snort.
"And you really care about me?" I ask with a raised eyebrow. She doesn't miss a beat.
"No. But he also said he'd kill my mother as well." she tells me. And now...now I can't be mad. She was savin her mom. I sigh.
"Well now everything is good, right? Ya got the boy back now everybody's gonna be fine except the boy." I say. Not tryina sound bitter bout it but who can really blame me. "Why don't you do everybody a favor and disappear?" I ask. She doesn't say anything.
"I need to go. Trial is about to start." she says leaving. I look up from the couch and see my father staring at me. I just look back.
"We'll talk later." is all he says before leavin. I sit back on the sofa knowin I can't leave cus'a the guards outside. I'm back a day and he already has a team watchin me. I got to the room he has for me and lean against the window.
'is it all set up?' I hear. I lean closer to the window.
'yes sir. Those women won't know what hit them.' I hear.
'good, with them outta my hair, I can raise my son the way I want and not have to worry about them.' I hear before seein my father walk away. I stand there for a few minutes tryina figure things out.
'they won't be the only ones dieing today mr. Cambias. You're time has run out.' I hear. I shake my head with wide eyes. Shit. Somebody's gonna kill my dad. And my dad is having somebody else killed. Who? I'll figure that out later, right now strangely I wanna save him. Maybe cos I wanna kill him myse- fuck him. Kendall! I look out my window and don't see anyone standing there but I know not to trust it. I run to my dad's room stoppin to pick up somethin and crawlin out his window. When I'm in the woods close to it, I run for it. Pushin my legs as fast as I can and soon I'm on the street. Left or right...right. I start to run again down the street and I'm so happy when the courthouse comes into view. I slow down when I get to the building and walk in casually. I lean against the door frame to where Kendall is on the stand. Good, nobody's noticed me because Kendall is looking down cryin. I look around and look for anything suspicious. I see my dad shoot the balif a look and he reaches behind his back and I can tell... I feel...it's him. I draw attention to myself. I need to get Kendall and the guys outta here.
"Wow! What a moving performance. Hey dad careful, not only will she have you locked away but she'll win an academy award doin it!" I say clappin. I glance quickly at the balif and notice he's still has his hand poised, eyes darting to my father. My dad shoots me a deadly look and I just smile. "Damn dad, you know how to pick the good ones don't ya." I say. His look changes and he waves to the balif who still doesn't move his hand. "Never understood what you saw in this one. But hey, when ya sent me in there to help weaken fusion, whooo! That was fun. Shoulda seen it dad, woulda been proud. Can you believe they thought I cared." c'mon Kendall. Don't just look at me. Do the girly emotional thing and run out!
"Nic...what are...what are you talking about?" Greenlee asks. I shrug.
"Nothin. Just that everythin I told ya was a lie. Well cept the me bein Michael's kid part. He's my real dad but I'm not related to you. Pfft...as if I could be." I say. I see hurt pass in her eyes but somethin else. Not hate or anger...understanding? I think it is so I shoot my eyes to Kendall then the balif and back to her as quick as possible and she glances at Kendall and I know she gets it.
"Nic why are you saying this?" Kendall asks crying. I sigh like I'm aggravated.
"Damn woman stop all ya blubberin. All these dang blammit tears you'd think you'd be out by now. I'm sayin that I don't care about you. Not you, your sister, Greenlee, none of ya. I did what I had to do for Cambias." I say. My dad looks all proud and smug now. If only you knew Michael. Kendall finally stands up but doesn't leave the room. Alright, plan B. "Aye, don't walk up like that." I say holdin my dad's gun at her. Thank goodness I checked this thing before I left. Good and empty. She stops her advance and everyone gasps.
"What is the meaning of this?!" the judge asks loudly speakin for the first time. Come to think of it that's...a little too strange. I come in, interrupt a trial and he's just speakin. And not askin nobody to try an contain me? Somethin aint right with this. I hold the gun upward and like I'm surrenderin.
"Don't get ya diaper in a bunch grandpa, I don't plan on killin nobody. Yet." I say and I notice my dad stop smilin. He growls and lunges toward me and I squeeze the trigger. Thank goodness this thing was pointin up! Kendall coulda got hurt! And the sprinklers are on and everybody's rushin. Somebody grabs Kendall and now she's blended with everybody else. Good. My dad punches me square in the jaw.
"Get the fuck outta here Michael!" I yell. He doesn't listen but his body freezes over mine. I look up at him and his face shows shock. I squirm to the side before he falls and see Lena standin there holdin a gun. She looks at me before walkin out. I look down at his body layin beside mine, eyes still wide with shock and I see the blood on the back of his head. I shake my head.
"Great. I'm an orphan." I say getting up quickly to make my way outside. When I'm out there I scan the crowd for the Kane women first. Non of them are in sight so I sigh in relief. If I can't see them, not many others can. Then I start lookin for Lena. And I can't find her either. I reach out and grab the nearest person. "I'm lookin for a woman, round 5'8, dark shortish hair, crazy lookin." I say. They nod and say
"Ms. Montgomery's lover?" they ask. I nod. "She left with them not long ago." he says. I sigh. Fucking great.
"Tell the ambulance there's a dead body in the courtroom I say before takin off runnin. I just gotta make sure they're ok. I finally get to the buildin and bypass the elevator takin the stairs. Holy crap I'm so gonna be in so much shape before today is over with. I get up to Bianca's floor and see this lady I've seen workin with my dad about to knock.
"Hey!" I say loudly to get her attention. She turns to me with surprise written all over her features before smiling boldly.
"Think you're in time? What makes you think they aren't dead? I saw you're little show at the courthouse...not bad." she says in mock appreciation. I stand there for a minute before walkin up to her. I'm startin to wonder what the hell is up with me? I act like I'm an adult or somethin. I stand there a minute and shrug.
"Don't matter anyway, unless he paid you before you aren't getting paid." I say leanin against Bianca's door. She looks like she don't wanna buy it but why would I lie? I'm too cute.
"What are you talking about?" she asks. I shrug.
"Nothin. Just...Michael's dead and well, I'm not payin ya outta Cambias funds." I say. She scoffs.
"Michael isn't dead." she says like she's got me all figured out. "I know what you're doin little boy and it isn't working. Just go home and play your video games while the grown ups do their jobs. I shrug and start walking away.
"Whatever. Don't say I didn't warn ya." I say. I go to the elevator and push the down button. I'm not gonna get involved in nothin else. I'm gonna do what I'm s'posed to do. Be a teenager.
'...and his father? Good good.' I hear. I sigh a frustrated but quiet sigh. Why is Ryan even here. 'yes I've spoken to him...he said he'd rather I had control...he changed his will. Yes I'm sure. No the kid doesn't know anything. I'm going to run Cambias and buy Kendall out of fusion. Give the shares to greenlee of course.' he says. I shake my head and continue walking away. I'm not worryin bout this stuff no more. I'm gonna go to the mall, get some new games and go home and play and eat junk food. Hmmm...wonder what's on good...
Greenlee pov.
He thinks he's so sneaky. Well in a way he is because Kendall and Bianca believe him but they should think about it. How would any of this add up? From him coming here, to...everything that's happened, to him running away? I'm sorry but I don't think Michael would go through all that trouble just to have it exposed so publicly. I'm sitting beside Kendall rubbing small circles on her back.
"He was faking." I hear. My eyes shoot up to Bianca who's pacing. "Nic was faking. But...why?" she stops to look at me, glaring at Lena quickly. Wonder what's going on there.
"How can you be so sure he is faking it my lav?" Lena asks.
"Are you saying you don't think he was?" Maggie asks. Lena sighs and shakes her head.
"I'm saying we don't really know him well enough to assume he was or wasn't." she says.
"He wasn't." I say. Kendall looks at me with teary eyes and I can't help but want to kiss all her tears away.
"How can you be so sure?" she asks. I shrug.
"He's my brother. I know he isn't." I say. She looks at me like I'm crazy but doesn't say anything.
"Plus, he ran away and just came home yesterday, don't you think that's a little quick to start exposing everything. If he were telling the truth in the courthouse, wouldn't he want more time to make it believable that he was working with his father?" Maggie asks.
"And he didn't even try to make a move to find out about fusion." Kendall adds realizing that I'm right. I'm always right about these things.
"So what do we do now? How do we get him to tell us what's going on?" Bianca asks.
"We go see him." I say getting up. I open the door to find Ryan there looking like a lost puppy.
"Greenlee... I know you don't want to see me but...there's something you should know." he says. I glare at him and almost nod.
"We don't want to hear it. We have more important things to worry about." Kendall says grabbing my hand pulling me away.
"But G-" I cut him off.
"Goodbye Ryan." I say walking with Kendall to the elevator. She's right...way more important things.
