TWENTY-ONE

"Ow." I say. 

Voxy was wiping my face. He can still punch hard, but his words hit harder.

"I'm sorry baby." Voxy said. 

He put the wipe down. I took another cigarette. 

"Did you... really mean what you said?" Voxy asked.

"What? Said about what?" I say.

"About us am I really your boyfriend?" 

"Oh sh*t. Not now please not now. I can't... Ugh. He shows up after eighty-five years. I never needed him, and now he's back. I just..." I say gripping my head.

Ugh. I want to scream. I want to kill him. I cannot do this anymore. He walks in and now I have to deal with him again. I continue gripping my head. I grab a bottle and start chugging. I feel Voxy's hand touching me. I stop drinking. 

"Babe, you don't need to give me an answer. Just take it easy. Go to sleep. It's 1:00 am." Voxy said. 

I nod.

"Come again? He wants to come here?" Silas asked.

"Yes. He was very persuasive." Gru said. 

"And we need him to give up the location of the drugs." Lucy said. 

"Hah. He won't give you anything." A voice said. 

A man walked in that looked exactly like me but had six arms instead of four. He wore a suit and had a necklace with a cross on it. 

"Who are you?" Gru asked. 

"How on earth did you get in here?" Silas asked. 

"I have my ways. You were surprisingly easy to snuff out." He laughed. 

"Answer the question who are you?" Lucy said. 

"My name is Rastar? I take it my boy never mentioned." Rastar said. 

"Your boy?" Gru said.

"Your Valentino's father?" Lucy asked. 

"Hell yeah. Wish I wasn't." Rastar said

"We have to meet them it's the only way to save the girls." Gru said. 

Rastar let out a chuckle. 

"What's so funny?" Gru asked. 

"Save your children? Hah. That's got to be a joke, I left mine 85 years ago." Rastar chuckled. 

"We're not like you. We will save our girls." Gru said standing up.
