I enter the dark room.

Chains could be heard from around the corner.

The little frail blue-eyed boy looks up at me with alarm.

"You are doing a really bad thing, Mr. Stephano." I stop walking and stare at the little boy.

"How do you know who I am?" I ask, kneeling down to his level.

"I hear stuff." He leans back, feeling uncomfortable.

"Stepahno, do not hurt the little boy, please, hurt me instead." Anastasia's old man yells as I shake my head.

"Shut it, Edward; I'm not going to hurt him!" I yelled, looking down at the little boy. "Now, little one, tell me, you know your mommy and daddy have my kids and wife?" I ask him.

He looked away from me for a moment.

"Yes" I stood surprised once again. "How much do you know, kid?" I ask, examining him furthermore.

"It's none of your business, Mr. Stephano," he says, staring up at me with a challenge.

I like this kid.

"Ok, kid, you don't have to say" I stand up and roll my sleeves up.

"Do you have a blanket, Mr. Stefano? I'm cold." He pauses as I stop to look back at him.

"My momma is keeping your kids warm; it would be nice if you also kept me warm." I look at him strangely, feeling a bit more relieved at the mention of my kids.

I sure hope this kid isn't lying about that.

I kneel down and wrap my jacket around him. "I'll get you a blanket and food in a bit, but for now, kid, don't make noise or scream." I ruffled his hair and stood up, getting ready to leave.

"Thank you," he says as I walk up towards the main floor.

"Thank you," he says as I walk up towards the main floor

Juliesa looks up at a worried Anastasia.

"I know this isn't going as you planned, but I can assure you, Stephano is not going to hurt your son," Juliesa tells Anastasia as she turns to look at her.
