Victor: "You sure?"
He asks, concerned about Crips request.
Crip: "Yeah, I'm sure. I need to go see O'Riley alone."

Victor: "Alright...Just be careful."

Crip nods, and Victor leans in softly and kisses him.
Then he's off, heading to the Reapers hideout.
Soon he's walking up to the front, greeting Shank and Switch.
Shank: "Good to see you Crip."

Switch: "Glad you're ok."

Crip smiles. He missed them all.
He heads on inside, and goes straight to O'Rileys office.

O'Riley: "Crip."
He says surprised.
O'Riley: "Wasn't sure when you'd be coming back."

Crip: "I wouldn't stay away. This is my gang.."

O'Riley: "Yes..."

Why is it so quiet?

O'Riley: "I worried you might leave us for good after what happened. You didn't seem alright when I last saw you."

Crip: "Id never do that..I couldn't leave you all. Especially you."

O'Riley smiles at that.
O'Riley: "Good boy. You must've stayed with that Capone boy."

Crip: "Victor.."

O'Riley: "Yes. Victor. He's uh...loaded bullet, so-to-speak."

Crip: "You told me he pulled a gun on you...I'm very sorry about that. He's just very protective."

O'Riley: "I've noticed. Still, I suppose it is good for you to have someone around to protect you. We all worry about you."

Crip smiles.

O'Riley: "You had me very worried, Everett.."

Crip: "I'm sorry..I'll try and be more careful."

O'Riley steps closer, pulls Crips chin up.

O'Riley: "You do that."
He leans down, kissing him softly. O'Riley must've really been worried about his decisions after the institution.
How could he ever leave the Reapers? They were his family...
