What's he doing here...

I composed myself.

"Tch, I can't say the same." I said.

"Where do you think you're going?" He asked.

"To sit out here. Is there a problem?" I looked at him.

"Actually there is. Where's Faline?"

"Upstairs." I answered.

"Why don't you go back inside? The 3 of us need to chat then you can come play"

"How about hide and seek?" I suggested. "You hide and I seek"

"How about a good game of Man hunt? You get a head start and I'll shoot you down" he grimaced.

The tension between us was very evident and present.

A very negative feeling stirred in the air.

I took a step forward only to be blocked by him.

"Inside" he spoke.

"I don't think so" I said and moved the other way.

He blocked me again.

"Doggy can come inside this time. No need to be shy"

Did he just call me a dog?

I felt my jaw tighten.

He smirked.

I wanted nothing more than to hear him beg for his life but I'm already in too deep.

"Atticus...Wh...What are you doing here?" Faline asked.

"Faline, how kind of you to come out. You send your guard dog out first? Usually owners tend to be cautious of who their pet greets at the door" he said.

"That's not the case when it's a rodent" she snapped back.

So...she agrees that I'm a pet?

I scowled.

"Oh is the puppy upset? Faline why don't you be a dear and send him back inside so that the adults can talk"

"I'm not going anywhere. I'm not an animal and I'm sure as hell not a child. Whatever the fuck you have to say you can say it in front of me" I glared at him.

He chuckled.

"Faline, I'm curious. What exactly is it that you're doing with him? Some kind of training or did you just desperately need some dick?"

!

Faline scoffed.

"Please, spare me the stupid insults and accusations. Why are you here?" She asked.

"I'm here to discuss the death of Officer Caleb. I have a court order, it's approved and I'm not leaving until I get all my questions answered."

She sighed.

"Would you like to come in?" She asked.

"If you don't mind I'd like to look around. If you'd kindly show me where this took place"

I swear if I could I'd kill him here and now.

I don't like this...

He's going to accuse me of murder and Faline of being an accomplice.

He's going to try to frame us.

I can see it in his eyes.

This man is bad news.
