Sawyer walked out of her room and headed towards the front door. She froze in her tracks, staring up at Rue. Rue also froze and looked down at Sawyer.

"Why are you dressed up?" Sawyer frowned.

"Why are you dressed up?" Rue asked in an attitudey voice.

The two girls just looked at each other in silence not saying anything. Why the hell did she have a suit on?

Sawyer blinked and opened the front door, "after you."

Rue sarcastically smiled and walked out.

Sawyer took a deep breath, shaking her head. Rue was getting worse and worse as the days went on.

This was her first time speaking to Rue since the giant fight that they had with Gia.

Gia got upset with Rue for being high and told Sawyer. Sawyer got upset and went off on Rue but she ended up gaslighting Gia to belive she just smoked weed. Sawyer knew it was bullshit then it turned into a 2v1.

    Sawyer closed the door behind her and walked across the street to Ashtrays car, getting inside.

"Hey." He smiled over at Sawyer, starting the car.

"Hi, love." Sawyer buckled herself. She looked at Rue out the window as they drove off.

"Have you talked to her?" Ashtray suddenly asked. Sawyer snapped her head toward him.

"Uhm.. No- No not really. Just today." Sawyer gulped.

"And?"

"I asked why she was wearing a suit and that's about it." Sawyer shrugged.

Ashtray nodded thinking. He had one hand on the wheel and brought his other hand to Sawyers thigh. His touch still sent goosebumps throughout her body as if it was the first time he touched her. She still got those butterflies in her stomach.

"Hey. Stop overthinking, it'll be okay." Ashtray took his eyes off the road and briefly looked at Sawyer.

"I know, I know. She's just Rue."

Ashtray chuckled, "Yeah she's just Rue."

      Sawyer sat on the kitchen counter eating a bowl of cereal. Faye was crouched down in front of the fridge looking for something while Fezco stood beside Sawyer smoking a Blunt.

Ashtray walked back into the kitchen after opening the front door. Shortly after Rue appeared. She leaned onto the open fridge. Her eyes batted around the room.

Sawyer frowned, glaring at her sister.

"I'm a fuckin genius fez." She said in a serious tone.

"Is that so?" Fezco fed into Rues demeanor.

She clapped her hands together and brought them in front of her face, "It is fuckin so, because I came up with an amazing fuckin' plan."

"And what might that be Rue?"

Faye stood up, holding a plate in her hand and looked over at Sawyer. Sawyer looked at the plate then back up at Faye and shook her head no. She closed the fridge and left the kitchen.

"Alright so-" Rue started. She shot her head in Sawyers direction. Sawyer had the spoon up to her mouth as she was about to take a bite of her cereal but stopped.

"What?"

"Can you uh.. this is serious business shit I need you to leave and let me talk to Fez alone." Rue explained.

"Seriously?" Sawyer groaned.

Rue nodded her head. Sawyer rolled her eyes and hopped off the counter, she looked at Ashtray. She then left the kitchen and he trailed behind her.

"She's so weird." Sawyer sat at the table.

Ashtray laughed, "She's manic."

Sawyer slowly nodded her head comprehending what he had just said. He was so right. Why had she never thought of that.

Rue wasn't on drugs she was just being manic. Right..?

Sawyer took a bite of her cereal and looked at Faye who was sitting across from her. She was picking at her food.

"Do you want a fork?" Sawyer asked.

"No." Faye said blankly.

"Okay." Sawyer lightly giggled at Faye. She didn't have any issues with Faye she honestly thought she was funny.

"Fuckin weirdo." Ashtray rudely let out.

Sawyer snapped her head toward him, "Chill."

"She's fucking strange." Ashtray rolled his eyes, "I'm going to play my game."

"Making your dream man on 2k isn't strange to you?" Sawyer had a devious smirk plastered on her face. Faye started loudly laughing.

Ashtray glared at Sawyer. Just as he was about to speak Rue stumbled into the room.

All eyes were on her.

"What happened?"

"His fuckin loss. He just lost the business opportunity of a life time is what." Rue said in a very serious tone.

"Why didn't he like it?" Sawyer questioned.

"Ego shit." Rue nonchalantly shrugged.

         Sawyer and Ashtray walked into his house and made themselves comfortable in the living room.

Faye walked in from taking the trash out. She paused, looking at them.

"The fuck do you want?" Ashtray took a deep breath.

"Can I join?" Faye asked.

"Of course." Sawyer smiled over at her.

"Thanks I love this movie." Faye smiled back. She sat on the couch criss cross Apple sauce.

"This is not a movie you fuckin-" sawyer placed her hand over Ashtrays mouth preventing him from continuing his sentence.

"That is enough." She warned. Ashtray rolled his eyes. Sawyer kept her hand on his mouth until he lost his attitude.

"Jeez you almost suffocated me." Ashtray joked.

"I almost got suffocated a few times." Faye pitched in. Sawyer and Ashtray looked at her then at each other.

"Oh? And how was that?" sawyer said trying to lighten the mood.

"Well, I couldn't breathe." Faye shook her head. She looked like she was very deep in thought.

The door opened and Fezco walked inside. Behind him followed Cal Jacobs.

Ashtray quickly got up from the couch and walked to his room.

"Sit." Fezco pointed to a chair. Cal nodded and sat down.

Ashtray came back in the room and held a gun up to Cals head.

"Ash is that really necessary?" Sawyers heart rate began to go up. She knew ashtray wasn't a killer. But she couldn't help but think back to the night of the dance. But that was an accident right? So why is he so brutal and hostile still, if that one time wasn't on purpose..

"So first you come to my fuckin job askin' all these weird-ass questions like the feds. Then I find you out front of my house, fuck are you doin man?" Fezco sat on the back of the couch staring at Cal.

"You're free to call the cops." Cal had a blank expression.

"Why the fuck would I do that?" Fezco asked.

"Well, it's either call the cops, let me go, or.. kill me." His glance left Fezco and made its way to Ashtray.

"What the fuck man. What's with your family are you all just a bunch of fuckin assholes."

"You beat up my son." Cal brought his gaze back to Fezco.

"Yeah, well, he deserved it man, he's a fuckin bitch." Fezco didnt take his eyes off Cal.

"Oh okay tough guy." Cal got smacked across the face by Ashtrays gun. "Ow!"

Sawyer jumped at the sight. She hated when Ashtray was like this. It was the complete opposite of who he actually was.

She couldn't take her eyes off him though. He had this cold evil look his eye that scared her. It was like there was nothing behind them. Just darkness.

"Fuck!" Cal yelled. He looked at Ashtray who held the gun pointing it directly at Cals face, "why did you do that?"

"'Cause you're in no position to talk shit."

"I'm warning you. You hit me one more—" Cal got cut short. Ashtray hit him again. He fell to the side, grabbing his face where the pain was, "Oh, Fuck!"

"Why don't you call the cops?" Cal sat back up right taking deep breaths. He glared back at Ashtray.

"The chief of police, Will Greenwood—" Ashtray hit him again. And again. And again.

Sawyer couldn't watch anymore. She got up from the couch and stormed to the bathroom.

Cals yells were still heard all the way to the bathroom. Sawyer took breaths trying to recollect herself. This was not the version of Ashtray that she enjoyed being around.

After a few more seconds Sawyer walked back out into the living room. She watched in horror as Ashtray hit cal again. He had blood streaming from his forehead.

"Alright man I get." Fezco told Ashtray, causing him to stop.

"I know you and your drug addict friend, that girl. You're trying to extort my son." Cal wiped blood from his eyes.

"What?" Fezco and Sawyer said in unison. They all looked at her. She stood frozen.

Drug addict friend?

Rue?

Trying to extort his son?

Nate?

Sawyer thought back to the dance. And the conversation she over heard. And then she thought back to the tape and what she saw. But why would they extort Nate and not Cal? And how did they know about any of that?

"Because of what I did to her friend." Cal continued.

Sawyer gulped and watched carefully.

"What the fuck are you talkin' about man?" Fezco was confused.

"You know, the blonde." Cal sighed.

"Who? Jewel?"

"Look, man, I didn't know she was seventeen." Cal brought his hand to his forehead.

"You tellin' me you had sex with jewel?" Fezco was taken back.

Sawyer was very confused now. If he didn't know then why was this even happening right now. She glanced over at Ashtray whose face was deep in thought.

"Who's jewel?" Faye questioned.

"What the fuck man?" Fezco let out.

"Do I know jewel?" Faye carried on.

Cal wiped the blood from his eyes again.

"The fuck are we even talkin' about right now bro?"

"Jewel, Jewel, Jewel." Faye muttered to herself.

"I just want the disc."

Sawyer widened her eyes. Why would he think Fezco has it? Since she did...

"What disc?!" Fezco raised his voice

"Of jewel and I." Cal sighed in defeat.

"Yo, you recorded that shit?!" Ashtray furrowed his brows together.

"I didn't know."

"You didn't know that you were recording?" Sawyer finally spoke. She didn't mean to, but it just slipped out. Everything he was saying was just bullshit.

"I fucked up." Cal quietly let out.

"Yeah, obviously man." Fezcos mouth fell open, "Yo who the fuck even told you I gave a shit about this anyway?"

"My son."

"Your son the one that's in love with Jewel?" Fezco store at Cal.

Cal looked up at Sawyer. This made him think about what she had said to him about knowing who his son is.

"Aw that's cute." Faye warmly smiled.

"That's not cute, shut the fuck up." Ashtray yelled at her.

"Hey! You shut up Ash." Sawyer snapped her head in his direction. She was over it.

"What kind of weird ass father-son shit is goin' on around here bro?" Fezco was genuinely shocked. Everyone was.

Cals face fell. Like a light bulb went off in his head. But not a good one, "I'm extremely confused."

"You're confused. I'm fucking confused bro." Fezco clicked his tongue on the roof of his mouth.

"Me too." Faye let smoke escape from her lips.

"I'm very very confused right now." Sawyer looked around at everyone.

"I don't even know what the fuck you're doing here."

"Do you mind if I just leave? I'm not gonna say anything, I swear to god. Let's just pretend like... none of this ever happened." Cal asked.

Ashtray glared at Fezco and shook his head no. "Yo, Ash, let me talk to you real quick."

The two boys walked into the kitchen.

"Hi... what's your name?" Faye asked Cal.

"Cal."

"Do you and your son like— Do you, like, fuck people together?" Faye inquired.

Cal ignored the question.

"Yo, check it out man. I'm gonna let you walk up outta here on one condition."

Ashtray brought the gun back up to Cals temple.

"Anything." Cal mumbled.

"You'll keep your bitch-ass son out of my fuckin life, and Rues, and Jewels, and Sawyers. Till the end of fucking time. You understand?"

"I promise."

"Now, I don't know shit about no fuckin' disc, man. That's not my problem." Fezco glared down at Cal, "now get this motherfucker up outta here ash."

Cal stood up and Ashtray excoriated him to the door.
