Author's Note: AHA, you didn't expect me to publish another chapter so soon didn't you?
Well enjoy the new chapter:


The danger was over, the blood and the cuts were finally recovered. The scars over the arm and face can be seen from far away... that kid suffered too much, and still, he remained on his bed. "How is he Lin?" Joe asked as he looked at the bedroom with the kid with nothing more than 6 years old covered in sheets and bandages. "He is still recoverin' up, the piranhas didn't rip his arm off, just part of his fresh, he will take weeks to recover from that. "Hmm... let me talk with him" Joe walked towards the bedroom, as the wife walks away from both of them. Joe watched the bandaged kid who was still sitting on his bed. "Moxxie." "Heya pa. How are yah?" Moxxie smiled but the pain from his body was enough to make him flinch, and the father walked towards him quickly. "That's my question son... Ah want to ask... how are yah feeling?" Joe remained quiet and collected, but seeing his son in that way made him in concern and angry at the same time. "Ah'm fine, Sallie is safe, that's what matters." Moxxie dismissed the worries of his own father, but his glare made him gulp. "Ah know that... but Ah want to ask yah somethin'... what made yah think it was a good idea to let yarself be the bait for piranhas while yah used yar own body as a shield to Sallie?" Joe asked as his tone showed nothing more than anger and concern. "...well, because... Ah think since Ah'm the younger brother, at the moment someone must die... it should be me..." Moxxie said with his own honesty... which made the gruffly imp remain quiet and still stare at his third son even if he was adopted in such a way... The silence of the room was enough to tell that the answer concluded the conversation...until suddenly the kid felt over his lap something which surprised him... A cigar and a can of beer. "What?" Moxxie stared at his own father in shock. "Son... yah tried to sacrifice yar own life to save yar baby brother... for that, this isn't a thought of a kid... so Ah'm not goin' to talk with a kid anymore... Ah'm talkin' to a man. Yah became a man Moxxie, and now Ah know who can Ah trust when Ah leave the town for a few days. Take a good drag on this cigar and this drink. Yah deserves it." Joe sat beside his own son, and with pride in his own eyes, gave a light up on the cigar given to him. "Wouldn't ma kill yah if she sees us like that?" Moxxie asked as his tone showed worry. "Yeah she will, but that's a secret between men," Joe commented as his own son couldn't help but feel the proud glance of his own father.


The night was fulfilled with the sound of the rain and the time Verosika remained on the bed, it was impossible to control her emotions, as the entire day has been a spiral of emotions, the day she discovered that her ex took her credit card, from the ambush attempt to the rescue and the lockdown inside of the farm. The fighting, the show… everything was too much for the succubus to handle in a single day. The beautiful sleep that she always needed and the good mantra for her to start a new day wouldn't work anymore, since the nightmares were taking most of her sleep. The time she was having a good time with Blitzo, just for a second later he gave an evil grin to his face and then he pushed her into a hole while he launched a good among of paper at her. All the debits, and now she was drowning in huge debt, and her dreams of being a pop star were being threatened as she had to focus on paying the debts in all kinds of ways as possible. GASP. Verosika loudly woke up in cold sweat, looking around, just to see that she wasn't in her usual bedroom, and now she have to face the harsh reality of living alone with the group of imps for a few days. Still, it wouldn't be a lie if she says that they frightened her in the beginning, even with all their hospitality. And yet, when she first tried to make an advance into the boy for the bet, he simply dismissed her, which made her outraged in her own way. "Maybe I should take a glass of water." Feeling her throat dry, and she displease to go back to sleep, Verosika wouldn't want to go back to the inevitable nightmare. She knew that the first day would suck to go back to sleep. Walking downstairs, the succubus was feeling sleepy but something soared to her ears, immediately making her wake up at that moment. "Is that a guitar sound?" Verosika asked as she approached the direction of the kitchen, calmly walking slowly in the direction of the voice, until she approached the wall to give a little glance at the inside of the kitchen. And to her surprise was the same imp who saved her life, and who gave her his bedroom for her to sleep in, the imp who was carrying his own guitar and was making his own presentation for nobody than himself. "Oh, this I must see it," Verosika said as she watched the imp preparing some chords, but then at the moment he started playing, her eyes went wide open.

"I miss the taste of a sweeter life, I miss the conversation, I'm searching for a song tonight. I'm changing all of the stations." Moxxie sang as he slowly played the guitar, a sweet tenor voice passed through the kitchen, and at the same time the rain created a slow rhythm. A nostalgic feeling from the past was what Verosika guessed when she heard the imp singing at night. "I like to think that we had it all, We drew a map to a better place. But on that road I took a fall, Oh baby why did you run away?"

A question was made, Verosika was in silence thinking about the melody made by the imp, the singer remained quiet as she wanted to hear more about the imp's singing.

"I was there for you In your darkest times I was there for you In your darkest night." Moxxie then started using his hands to bump over the table, creating a drum sound, as he sounded more energic. Until it came at the chorus. "But I wonder, where were you? When I was at my worst Down on my knees And you said you had my back. So I wonder, where were you? All the roads you took came back to me."

Verosika felt the lyrics hitting deep in her heart, as she herself felt the same way from the deep sadness passing through her heart, one day before she was feeling so happy, but it took just one day to her realize the bastard ex-boyfriend she had. While she gave everything to him, she felt so betrayed by the same motherfucker.

"So I'm following the map that leads to you" The imp in the kitchen got up from his table, still using his guitar, and then Verosika could see from the window behind him, the rain seemed to be dancing in unison with the music. "The map leads to you. Ain't nothin' I can do The map that leads to you Following, following, following to you."

The bolts of lightning displayed such energy as dancing from the word following, and Verosika felt a breathtaking moment, not caring if the environment was dancing around the song, but the melody itself and the lyrics made her get out from hiding and slowly walk over the table, to see a red book with lyrics on it.

"The map that leads to you. Ain't nothin' I can do The map that leads to you Following, following, following" Moxxie was in a trance with his own music that he didn't even notice the succubus getting inside the kitchen or even take a look at his own book of lyrics.

At the moment he with his eyes closed and was ready to sing the other verse, he then heard another voice that made him look behind in shock.

"I hear your voice in my sleep at night Hard to resist temptation" Verosika opened her mouth, and felt the meaning of the words hit deeply over her, feeling all the emotions inside of her, reminding the good times she had with the rude imp she slept with, all the time she tried to open her heart, and all the times she was down and disappointed, angry… She felt the tears following through her eyes. "'Cause something strange has come over me Now, I can't get over you No, I just can't get over youuuuuu."

Moxxie felt the amazing voice of the singer who was staying at the tempest, and she indeed had a voice of a great singer, which made the imp smile not just by feeling his song appreciated, but he could feel that her feelings were mutual from the lyrics he had developed.

"I was there for you in your darkest times I was there for you in your darkest night" Both Moxxie and Verosika sang together until they prepared for the chorus and used all their voices and feelings deep inside of them. Both close their eyes and let their voices and bodies express the song inside of their hearts. "But I wonder, where were you? When I was at my worst down on my knees And you said you had my back So I wonder, where were you? When all the roads you took came back to me."

Verosika felt her imagination take her on a deep trip into her memories, over the time she first meet Blitzo, their first fight, their first aggressive sex, and all the problems she tried to resolve but it escalated to always the same answer, sex, but never to resolve the problems, just to forget, and then the day, she felt herself in her knees with despair tears on her eyes, crying on her hands, as she saw the imp leaving her, taking her credit cards and leaving her with the debts.

Moxxie had always his imagination to show him pieces of his memories, remembering how a day that was supposed to be the happiest day of his life became the worst. Smiling nervously, waiting for his beloved fiancé to come to the altar and become husband and wife, all the effort they worked together to make the marriage perfect… Was destroyed by a simple fact… the fiancé never came, he felt his world be torn apart at the moment he saw his little sister come to him with a sad face and a ring in her hands… All the nights, problems, and challenges they faced together, Moxxie who always has been the one to help her without thinking twice… He was on his knees, unable to leash a single tear, but crying deeply internally. The voice of his heart was shouting as the duo open their eyes and felt the melody carry them away and sing stronger together.

"So I'm following the map that leads to you The map that leads to you Ain't nothing I can do The map that leads to you Following, following, following to you The map that leads to you Ain't nothing I can do The map that leads to you" Moxxie was using his palm to make rhythm while dancing with his guitar, Verosika was bumping her head, using her body as she danced using all her torso and arms.

A melody with a dance not just from their own voices, but from their hearts. Two broken hearts, dancing from the irony of the betrayal of their loved ones.

"Oh, oh, oh, ah Oh, oh, oh, ah Ye, ye, ye, ah Ah, ah, mmh, ah Oh, I was there for you Oh, in your darkest times Oh, I was there for you Oh, in your darkest night Oh, I was there for you Oh, in your darkest times Oh, I was there for you Oh, in your darkest night" Moxxie stopped to play the guitar as he used both his hands to make a breakdown, and Verosika smiled from the idea and she joined at him, both clapping as they sing, until it was the right moment to Moxxie use his guitar once again. A thunderclap with a huge light cleared the night with the duo singing together stronger than ever. "But I wonder (Ooooohhh), where were you? When I was at my worst down on my knees…"

Verosika noticed the guitarist not singing the lyrics but giving a background solo which made Verosika smile even further with all the energy of her body she looked at Moxxie now with all the desires of her body she shouted at her partner encouraging him to show his solo background the duo work together.

"And you said you had my back So I wonder, where were you? When all the roads you took came back to me So I'm following the map that leads to you. SING MOXXIE. " Verosika shouted as the duo placed themselves back to back together and danced they came to a climax."(Ooohhh) The map that leads to you (Oooohhh) Ain't nothing I can do (Ooohhh) The map that leads to you (AH AH AH) Following, following, following to you (Ooohhh) The map that leads to you (Ooohhh) Ain't nothing I can do (Ooohhh) The map that leads to you (YEAH YEAH YEAH) Following, following, following."

The silence of the kitchen as the duo felt out of breath from such a show, made both the imp and the succubus stare at each and other satisfied from taking their feelings out of their chests. It was a comfortable silence as Moxxie went over to the fridge, and the succubus sat on the chair and took a deep breath.

"Holyshit, that was awesome. I never felt so light right now than my whole fucking day." Verosika breathed in awe, looking again at the red book in her hands. "This book it's gold."

"Ah didn't know that yah folks from big cities have the ballsy to take a look at other demons stuff." Moxxie couldn't deny that he felt that much better in a long time, yet he was still annoyed by the fact of someone took a look at his stuff and invited her to sing with him.

Verosika looked surprised when the imp brought over the table two glasses and a bottle of something written MXXX-27 on the label.

"Isn't that one of your mom's whiskey?" Verosika asked curiously, but in return, Moxxie shook his head.

"This one is mine, a passion fruit star whiskey," Moxxie said as he placed over the two glasses and offered to the succubus who gladly accepted. "Nightmares?"

Verosika nodded her head to him, the imp simply sat on his seat, as he looked at the golden yellow liquid on his own glass. Seeing his own reflection in the liquid, and seeing that his usual smile from minutes before was changed by the melancholic expression he had most of his nights.

Verosika noticed the expression from the imp and she couldn't help but now feel more comfortable talking about the subject that has bugging her since the afternoon.

"Well… your sisters… they are..."Verosika talked as she brought the attention of the imp in front of her, and then tried to find the right words to describe the craziness of the entire day. "Something, you weren't kidding when you told me they were totally opposite of each other."

Moxxie snorted, as he understood from the way Verosika talked about them. He knew exactly the right words that she was telling to him.

"If yah mean they are crazy bitches who would make yar mind a rollercoaster of emotions between threaten and in confusion, yep, that's them." Moxxie described as he remembered how many girls were intimidated by both Salie May and Millie, they were a duo that nobody would ever forget. "Sorry if Millie were too clingy, and if Sallie threatened you by every single minute…"

"That's no problem. While I agreed that your young sibling is a bitch, she told me the reason why she is so afraid for you." Verosika tried to be polite, as she knew she was stepping on eggshells at that moment, but drinking the whiskey offered, helped her to vent out her problems. "Well, at least you didn't get divorced. That would have been far worse if you ever think about it."

"It wouldn't," Moxxie replied and brought the attention of the succubus. "Independent if Ah was goin' to be divorced later or if Ah was left on the altar… the damage was already done in both ways, and neither of them wouldn't end up with my happiness."

Verosika remained silent because she couldn't find words to refute what he was saying. She then decided to be silent and raise her hand to make him explain any further.

Moxxie seeing that as a signal to continue, he then sighed as he tried to recall how everything happened.

"Well, the girl Ah was goin' to marry was an old friend of our family, so that made there was a long story between our families." Moxxie decided to explain in the maximum detail how things were different from what usually were. "She was always in love with one boy from the other side of Wrath, and Millie was always helpful to make her try to have a date with such a boy… It went well until they broke up 3 years later for a case of Ah don't remember what."

Verosika remained quiet as she wanted to hear about it how the imp who saved her life actually ended up in such a state. And from looking at the start it seemed there was indeed a long story.

"Sallie and Millie were friends with her, and even at times they would go out together or even come home to see my brother's failures in trying to have a girlfriend." Moxxie raised his eyebrow as he was expecting Verosika to ask about the bet, but since she remained in silence he rolled his eyes. "Of course, they told you about the bet. Anyway, the girl saw that some girls even tried to hook up with me, but Sallie was always the one who would judge the girl's inferiors to my standard."

"Yeah, I think I noticed," Verosika commented as she understand how that imp would never even let a Goetia be good enough to the imp in front of her.

"Anyway, most of the girls were so intimidated that Ah was feeling angry and sad to never ever had a chance to do somethin' , but then when she came to me… we talked like usual friends would do," Moxxie recalled on how a simple conversation between friends was what actually started everything. "And when ah least expected we were in a relationship of 2 years, without havin' sex because Ah planned the best strategy ever made for the bet."

"Wow, 2 years without sex? You must be a sage or a saint." Verosika joked when she noticed that he wasn't laughing, which made her cough and let the imp continue.

"Ma and Pa would be fine if we would use this house as the first day of honeymoon, and by being a married couple. The boys and girls couldn't do anythin' to stop me to have sex with my fiance." Moxxie explained the strategy which made the succubus actually raise her eyebrows in surprise for such a smart strategy. "Ah played the waitin' game, but to be honest Ah was more doin' it for love because Ah really loved that girl. We had so much time together that Ah learned so many things about her, and she had a good time learnin' about my life."

Moxxie remained quiet as he wanted to avoid telling the rest of the story, but Verosika could pick up the pieces of the puzzle and already finish the story for him.

"But it seems that ex-boyfriend came back to convince your fiance to leave you and go with him." Verosika was quick and precise which made the imp give a glance at her and just let it out a sigh confirming her suspicion.

"The worst part is that… Ah would be fine if she did that a day before or talk to me in secret before leavin' … but Ah was waitin' at the altar… all my nerves Ah had on that moment, all my hope for our dream together, all the plans… was over at the moment Sallie came to me, with her broken heart as well." Moxxie couldn't take off the feeling he had such a long time after that day. "Me and my brother build a good ranch for us to pass our life together…"

Verosika's eyes went wide open as she heard his last part, the imp prepared a stable house for them to live in, and she couldn't help but feel the pain from hearing that.

"The souls Ah spent on the food was 2 thousand souls, the flowers 4 thousand, the decoration and the band were in total of 9 thousand souls… The marriage itself was in total 15 thousand souls." Moxxie continued, as Verosika felt her mouth dry as she tried to gulp. And her heart felt even heavier from hearing about the problems of the imp. "Broke 10 bones during 3 years by building the farm with my brother in secret from her. Passed most of my time preparing everythin' for my marriage… just in the end, to beg my old brother to marry his girlfriend in my place."

The words were like a punch in the gut, Verosika hearing from his perspective was exactly like watching a cruel drama movie, where nobody would win in the end, just the villains, and she couldn't help but be honestly sorry for the imp.

"My family wanted to kill everyone on the ceremony, fuck, Ah know they wanted… but ah couldn't let them kill the others, so Ah just smiled, to make sure that everythin' was fine… even if my tears showed the opposite… nobody could see me breakin'." Moxxie declared as he pointed to himself. "Ah am the third siblin', the man in the house, someone who should be respected, even if Ah was destroyed on the inside, Ah wasn't goin' to let them see me broken… not until Ah get home."

Verosika's silence was enough of an answer, as the imp was drinkin' from his own whiskey bottle.

"Usually Ah hate to be drunk because my sister made a comparison of an animal that Ah hate with all my heart, but Ma took my depressive pills… So Ah think Ah will just drink to not see me in the mirror and look at the loser who was just left at the altar." Moxxie tried to joke, but his brutal honesty made Verosika see the hero who came to save her in a way that she never thought of before.

"You still have nightmares?" Verosika couldn't help but ask…

The imp made a pause, and for a minute of contemplation, he just shrugged.

"Ah don't know, all Ah see was just void, nothin' to dream, nothin' to fear… just nothin'…" Moxxie answered, and the answer itself sounded like the worst kind of torture.

"Fuck… that must be fucked up," Verosika whispered. She always thought that she had a terrible fucking day, but after hearing from the imp in front of her. She knew when someone was more fucked than her. "So it doesn't matter if she divorced you or if she left you on the altar… She already spent much money and your time on her, and both of them made you hurt."

"Exactly." Moxxie nodded to her, seeing that his part of the story was already shared. And knowing that he had nothing more to say. "Well, that was my story. Do you want to tell me yours?"

Verosika hesitated, but then looking from her own perspective, she was at the start of the pain of something that the imp in front of her already passed for so much. So she felt that it was someone who can understand her pain.

"Well, different from you. I never thought I would have been in a relationship with someone… it all started when I was working as a singer for some gags on the pride ring temporarily…" Verosika decided to explain from the start and tried to be short in the same way the cowboy was to her. "One night I was taking a night shift and I got late from a bar fight happening in that shitty place. For some reason, Blitzo, my ex meet me as he threw a few bottles at the group of sinners who were ready to jump on me."

Moxxie remained quiet, as he listened closely and watched all the body language of the succubus who was opening up herself.

"Later we just talked and had little chit chats, and when I least expected we went into our first date and had our first sex… It was perfect, I never felt so satisfied in my whole life." Verosika pointed out the good points of how everything was just simple and how was happy for her, Moxxie remained calm but gave a smile when the succubus was smiling. Showing his own sympathy towards the girl who was telling her story. "Well, later we discovered nothing was perfect in our relationship. I had to work hard to have my money, while Blitzo spent a good among doing things… some times we fought about little stupid things, and when the fight got out of hand, we just had angry sex which was enough to make both of us happy for the rest of the night."

Moxxie remained calm, but something inside of him didn't like the sound of that, he didn't feel that it was normal.

"Ah may not be an expert on relationships, but Ah know that this was a terrible way to continue the relationship." Moxxie pointed as he looked at the succubus who froze in her place. And then looking at how it ended for her, she let out a disappointed sigh.

"Yeah, fuck me in the sideways… The most important fight we always had was… I was in love with him, and I wanted to give it a step further, but somehow he always avoided talking about this, like he was ashamed to be with me." Verosika lost count of how many times she fought against the imp just because she wanted something more in their relationship. "I always lived by the lust, but… was it wrong for me to crave for love? To wake up with the idea of having a family on my own?"

Moxxie remained quiet as the succubus drank another glass of whiskey, which was enough to make her face blush more, even from the drunkness state. Both of them needed to talk their minds about it.

"No, it's not wron'," Moxxie replied as he took the attention from Verosika who looked at him in surprise. "You craved what usually most of us wanted in our dreams. To have a life of happiness with someone we can love. And it's nothin' wron' with this… just that… we fucked our choices."

Verosika listening to the imp ranting on how they choose wrong was enough to make her giggle from remembering that it was indeed stupid.

"Hehehe, yeah… I really fucked up when I choose him." Verosika shook her head in shame as she glanced at the storm which kept showing nothing more than lightnings and thunders. "To show how this ended… that fucker just took my credit card without me noticing and expended 9 thousand souls into horse ride classes."

"Hmm… it seems that he got scammed" Moxxie replied which made the succubus raises her eyebrows to him. "Usually horse classes would take 200 souls per class, and even borrowing a horse for the whole month would be 2 thousand souls in total."

"Fuck, so that means that he used my credit card and even got scammed by it?" Verosika would have been pleased to know it was Blitzo's money if was scammed, but it infuriates her more to know it was from her own money.

"Yep, sadly there is nothin' you can do. Wrathian scammers are slimmers than mud balls, so it means that they probably made your money theirs and you have no chance to see it again." Moxxie had to give the harsh truth which in the next second the succubus slammed her head over the table..."Well let's drink to sleep, misery loves company."

"Well, at least I'm not the only one who got into a huge debt… So what is your plan to pay up?" Verosika calmly tried to find hope and humor when she heard from the imp who got into a worse situation than her.

"Well, Butch is givin' part of his money, thinkin' he is paying the marriage he got because of me… But Ah'm not payin' Pa with it, Ah'm takin' that money and hiding it. And Ah'm paying Pa with my own money." Moxxie decided to be honest which made the succubus raises her own eyebrows.

"What are you going to do with his money? Wouldn't be smarter and quicker to pay the debt with both of you paying up?" Verosika asked and the imp shook his head to her.

"Nah, Ah'm going to use his money to arrange another marriage party…" Moxxie commented which made Verosika raises her eyebrows in shock. "His own marriage, you see… Ah had ideas of how Ah view the marriage of every single brother and sister Ah have… and Ah planned their marriages and their likes and dislikes so that Ah would make their own day the best day of their lives… And Ah'm ashamed of myself to not givin' that to my older brother."

"Are you for real?" Verosika asked in shock, noticing that the imp was actually planning to expend even more, and pay the debt at the same time… not for his sake, but for his own brother. "And nobody knows about this?"

"They shouldn't know… Ah never felt so much anger with me. Ah had a bachelor party and even the marriage plans for Napoleon Butch, Ah know what kind of cake it's his favorite, and how he wanted the decorations would have been… The references Ah did was for my own marriage… just for in the end, Ah be that shame family member who has to fake my own happiness to make everyone survives." Moxxie sighed as he literally took another gulp of his own drink, his eyes were showing nothing more than tiredness and shame. "This family is the only thin' Ah live now… Ah don't care about the bet, Ah don't care about the souls… Ah just wanted to give my own brother the best day of his life and Ah couldn't do it… the marriage itself was awkward and nobody ever danced… that night, Ah refused to leave my own bedroom, while Ah kept beating me for the simple fact that… Ah'm a loser."

"Woa Moxxie, you don't need to go that far." Verosika noticed that his own tongue was difficult to understand, knowing that possibly he was showing states of drunkness over him.

"Ah'm… my fault made my brother be forced to marry his girlfriend while everyone tried to force themselves to enjoy because of me… Every single time Ah blame her… but most of all… Ah blame myself for not thinkin' of this consequences… And that's how Ah think Ah shouldn't get myself to the farm Ah constructed, because Ah'm too afraid to look at my own brother's eyes…" Moxxie sobbed as he tried to finish his own cup… Verosika remained quiet and looked at how deplorable the imp was in front of her… she knew that, in that fucked up world, she wasn't alone...

Verosika was already doozy from the first 4 shots of the whiskey, but seeing that it was only both of them, she couldn't help but accept it.

"Well, since we are already into our fucking debts, and our lives will have been just struggling from now on… Let's have a cheer, I will try to find good gigs and find a way to pay all my debt alone, and for you, you will manage to pay for your father and make the best marriage for your own brother." Verosika now has a new resolution in her own mind, knowing that first she must have worked a lot to make herself laid with the young boy… She felt now seeing the face of her hero that she never thought of before. Even the greatest and the nicest have their hearts broken and must have a good recovery.

"To our fucked lives." Verosika raised her cup, which Moxxie followed suit, and both of them drank until their heart's content, and in the next hour… both their heads were laid on the table… as the alcohol washed their bed memories away to giving them a more pleasant dreams…


Outside of the kitchen, the duo was unaware of the public who was closely listening to their song, but also their own confessions…

The duo of sisters were nearby the kitchen door, and the matriarch and patriarch were both on the stair, listening closely as the duo of singers confessed their own debts.

Millie was sobbing, Sallie tried to hide her own tears.

"It was worse than Ah expected." Lin sighed cleaning up a few tears with her own hand, and by walking calmly over to the bedroom, her husband followed her suit… "At least he finally opened himself to someone."

Joe remained calm as he tried to think the right words to tell to his wife, but nothing could be said. His own son wanted to pay the debts for himself and yet wanted to make another marriage for his older son. Sometimes Joe couldn't comprehend the mind of his own children, but he couldn't find another reason to be prouder of them.

"What are you going to do?" Joe asked as the determined look came from his wife…

"Ah must have a call."


"Butch it's 3 a.m, what are you doing at this hour?" The female wrathian asked as she noticed the bulked imp remained sitting on the table, with nothing more than a few bottles of beer.

"Just havin' some drink, Lisa, Ah got a call an hour ago…" Butch said it calmly, but from the tone of his own voice, there was something troubling himself and he doesn't want to talk about it.

"Do you want some company?" Lisa asked as she sat on his lap. Butch gave quick glance towards his wife and nodded to her.

Both remained quiet as the troubling mind of the eldest brother was in a process… on how his younger brother was paying the debt for himself, and how he is ashamed to see him…

"Kratos...what the fuck is wron' with you?" Butch whispered as he placed his palm on his face, which made Lisa stares at him in concern. "That shit wasn't your fault."

And by that night alone… the Napoleon of the family didn't have the right mind to sleep, but having his wife nearby him… was a sacrifice both were willing to make.
