"Hey! Wait a damn minute! Toots!"

"I can't wait any longer Bendy! I need to see it!"

"Alright, Alright! Ya don't have to say it twice!"

Today the couple were going out on a date to a place. And that place is a very special place for Tristana and she seem to want Benicio to see it has well.

Right now she was pulling his arms with such a strong force that even the demon himself found surprising but also impressing by how a small person can contain this strong power inside them.

In that due time, Leony had to stay in the mansion with Boris, who has to babysitter him to be sure he is not making any troubles.

"Ugh... Why can't I go outside?"

"Leony you already know why. Now, do you have any four?"

"Mmh.... No.."

The wolf goes get a new card in the fetch pile. The cat demon only sigh in despair and boredness. The two were playing this game of cards for like three hours and it was getting the younger to his nerves.

"This is making me want to kill myself..."

Boris ears twitched to what he just said.

"Don't say that.. At least it's better than doing nothing with your father at home right?"

Leony gave him a glare. He never liked how people in this mansion would talk about his father. He slammed his hands on the table has he stood up.

"My father is not a bad person! You all think he is, but he is not!"

"Oh really? Then how come he kidnapped my brother wife and tortured the lady in a prisoner cell?"

Leony ears went down a little. He don't know what to say against that. He knows his father could be bad if he wanted.

"But... This was rare that he done that. He.. He is gentle with me and took care of me like a father I never had!"

The wolf watched the young teen shakes from anger. He now knows that talking about his father in front of him is a sensible subject to speak about.

He put down his cards and stood up. He went around the table to be in front of him.

"Leony... Listen. Even if he was a nice person to you. You show us his true emotion in front of me and my family.. You can't just deny that your father can be evil."

Leony felt tears forming in the corner of his eyes has he not dare to look into the wolf serious eyes. He close his hands into fists has his breathe was shaking.

"I-I will never see my father has the bad guy..."

After saying that he run out of the kitchen and to the staircase. Not leaving the wolf saying another word to that. Boris watched the sobbing teen run to his room.

He rubbed the back of his neck has he had made a mistake.

"Bendy will sure not like this..."

He mumble to himself worried.

Leony locked the door of his room and leaned against it has he hugged his knees close to his chest. He hide his face and cried a lot.

In that due time, or mostly at the same time...

Mr.Company watched from the window of his office the sky. He was deep in his thoughts. Around him where a lot of empty bottles. All were some beers or other alcohols.

He can't help but think of the first time he found Leony.

In that time, he was on a war business for territory. He and his men's were fighting for who would win a certain territory against another mafia gang. In the middle of that war, there was a fire that started on some house. The war was stopped when the two gang had to run away before they could get crushed by one of the house that were falling from this fire accident. Company was standing still has he was staring at the other leader that also seemed to be ready to shoot at him. But he was quicker than him has he shoot him before this leader could. After that he was ready to run and join his gang. Until he heard a child voice. It was screaming for their parents. The white demon man went over to the voice and was surprised to see a young demon child with burned clothes on him, that was on his knees near a house that was mostly destroyed by the fire. The man did not think twice and took the child away before he was going to perish too if he stayed near the fire. The little boy at first was struggling in his arms, and could not help but see how painful it was to watch a boy loose his parents at a young age.

He though it was his fault if this child loose them. To forgive himself he has to took care of him, until he could take care of himself. And years later he was proud to have him has his adopted son.

But now... Here the old man is.. Siting on a chair.. Mostly tired or even drunk for not being able to protect his little boy. Now he knows what the devil mean by feeling desperate for the one you care.

A knock on his office door made him flinch out of his thoughts.

"Sir? May I come in?"

It was one of his three best man. With the tone of the voice he had. He knows that he was worried for his boss.

"It's been quite a month since you never got out of your office, except to get some... Beers. I would like to talk to you."

Company grunted a little. He tried to stand up from his seat and goes to open the door by himself. But his legs would not let him do has he wanted. So he fell on the floor, making a loud noise that alert the man on the other side of the door.

The door burst open has the apple head guy run over to him in panic.

"Sir! Are you ok!?"

Company tries to get off of the floor, but he got some help from the man on his side.

"Yeah.... I'm fine.. it's not like this happen before."

He chuckles a bit. This do not make the other men laugh. Instead he put him back over on his chair.

"Sir... This is not good to see you like that. Have you though about how your wife, your son or daughter would say if they see you like that?"

Company glance at him and look away. "Don't tell her about this... I don't want her to know I have lost one of our child.." he sounded sad.

The apple guy look around the office that was full of empty beer bottles. "This need a clean up... Seriously Company.. get a grip on yourself man. Has your friend and co worker.. think about your health."

"I know Jack..." He mumble out has he rubbed his tired face with a grunt. "But how can I do this when I have to wait for months to get him back or even not.." He whispered has he remove his hands on his face and looked at the ceiling.

Jack stare at him. He knows what he is facing because he himself have three kids that can be gremlin with him but he love them and what ever happen to them he would be devastated. Even sad or worried sick to not see or know a thing about how they are.

But he knows that his boss and also best friend receive calls from Leony for at least one at each week.
"Sir... You know that he is fine right?" He asked curious to be sure that this was a good idea to talk about it.

Company took a glance at him and then over a picture pinned on the wall on his left. "Yes.... But I don't really know if this is really true." He answered has he close his eyes.

Jack took a sit next to him by leaning on the desk. "Well if he tell you that he is fine, there is no need to be worried sick for him. You should at least be happy to get calls from him. There is some people that don't have this chance to receive one." He said waving a hand around. He choose his words carefully to be sure that his boss was not getting depress more or get suicidal.

The old man smiled a little. "You are right Jack.. I should be happy about this. But not seing his face... It pain me.." his voice sounded distant like weak. Jack noticing this, remove himself on the desk. He even snapped a finger at his boss face. "Sir? Company? Hey you alright?" He worriedly asked has he shook him a little. "My friend? Oh no..." He quickly run out of the office and screamed for help. Which bring the two other best man over in a rush. "What's wrong?" The cat looking guy asked first in concern. "It's the boss! I think he got sick or something like that..." He explain in panic. The plant bucket guy raised an eye brow. "How so?" Jack lead them to the office. "W-Well... He kinda went silent after I had a talk with him.." he explain has he open the doors. The two other look at each other before they walk inside the office worried for their boss condition.

He was actually out from drinking so much alcohol without even eating a thing. But he still breathed. The plant bucket guy pick him up. "We should put him in his bed. He need to rest and also eat." He said has he goes out of the office. Jack would follow behind him in big worries. The cat dude also follow them. "Hey what were you talking with him by the way?" He asked Jack curiously. "Well it was about Leony... He seemed so lost without him."
