Lori raised her eyebrow, a coy smile on her face.
“Oh! What do you have in mind?”
She asked as she leaned in closer.
Gabriel placed a hand on her bare thigh as he pulled her closer to him.
“I have a few ideas….”
“How did you find me?!”
Lyle asked, slightly alarmed. He looked disheveled, paranoid. He was wearing dirty clothes and he had a gym bag that he held with his two hands.
“I’m your brother.”
Elliot said as he sat down next to him.
“That’s not an explanation!”
Lyle said harshly as his eyes narrowed at Elliot.

Elliot shrugged.
“It wasn’t that hard to find out. You’ve brought me to this same bar twice and you know the bartender. I came to ask him in the afternoon if he had seen
you and he said he didn’t. I knew he was lying because I could hear his heartbeat. I stuck around and waited for you to come.”
“What would you have done if I didn’t show up?!”
Elliot shrugged.
“I would have tried another lead.”
That was actually his only sensible lead. That and going back ransack Lyle’s

Elliot exclaimed.
He had to make his anger seem real. He had to make his act very believable, or else his brother would smell foul play
Lyle’s features softened.
“I wasn’t planning on leaving you… I was just laying low for a while,” a
“Laying low for a while?! Did you even care to know what happened to me?”
“Did you even try to look for me?!”
Elliot shook his head as he relaxed in his chair and folded his arms.
“I risked everything for you and you didn’t even care enough to see if I was safe…”
“Fuck. Elliot I’m sorry… I’m a shitty brother… but it was your fault though.”
“You ruined the plan by biting Lori!”
“I was only trying to help her.”
He retorted and Lyle shrugged.

“I thought you’d have left the city by now…”
Elliot said and Lyle nodded.
“I should have. But I need more money and someone around here owes me money. I’m sticking around till I get paid and running off right after.”
