Money buys security, shelter, and discretion.

Yes, it does. I like money.

How are you?

[questionorigin.livejournal.com]

It's the only thing you can count on.

Not wonderful.

[elfcross.livejournal.com]

It makes the world go around.

What's up?

[questionorigin.livejournal.com]

[Locked.]

I have to protect my mother.

[Locked]

[elfcross.livejournal.com]

From what?

Do I get to kill something?

[Locked]

[questionorigin.livejournal.com]

...My father's back.

Re: [Locked]

[elfcross.livejournal.com]

How did that happen?

Re: [Locked]

[questionorigin.livejournal.com]

Apparently he didn't die.

Re: [Locked]

[elfcross.livejournal.com]

He just showed up? Does he want anything?

Is it really him?

Re: [Locked]

[questionorigin.livejournal.com]

Yes. He just.. came back. I don't know what he wants.

It has to be him. He has.. a very distinctive appearance.

Re: [Locked]

[elfcross.livejournal.com]

Do you have a plan to protect your mother? I know that you can take care of yourself...

Re: [Locked]

[questionorigin.livejournal.com]

My main concern is that he not find out where she is. Or, if he does, to move her.

Re: [Locked]

[elfcross.livejournal.com]

Good plan... What are you going to do if he finds her?

Re: [Locked]

[questionorigin.livejournal.com]

I don't know. I don't think I can do anything then.

But if he finds her and then leaves her again? I'll kill him. I will hunt him down, put a bullet in his head, and burn the body...

Re: [Locked]

[elfcross.livejournal.com]

Make sure the fire is about 1500 degrees Fahrenheit if you have to burn him, but you probably know that..

Re: [Locked]

[questionorigin.livejournal.com]

Granted, no one would investigate if he were found shot.

Re: [Locked]

[elfcross.livejournal.com]

Would he come back after getting shot? I know it's not logical, but... it happens.

Re: [Locked]

[questionorigin.livejournal.com]

I'd make sure he wouldn't.

Re: [Locked]

[elfcross.livejournal.com]

That's good. So, other than worrying about your Mom, how are you dealing with the return of your father? Did he explain where he's been?

Re: [Locked]

[questionorigin.livejournal.com]

He didn't tell me, and I didn't ask.

It's been five years. No call, no letter, nothing!

A deep breath.

I'm sorry. I'm letting myself get carried away.

Re: [Locked]

[elfcross.livejournal.com]

It's weird that he came back like that... It's fine to get carried away around me. If you kill me, I might have a problem with it.

Re: [Locked]

[questionorigin.livejournal.com]

My mom wouldn't survive losing him again. I can't let him do that to her!

Another deep breath. But I won't let him get to me either. I won't cry.

Re: [Locked]

[elfcross.livejournal.com]

That's a good idea. You have to be strong.

Re: [Locked]

[questionorigin.livejournal.com]

I don't know what to do. And I hate that.

Re: [Locked]

[elfcross.livejournal.com]

If it was me, I would move my mother, and question my father until I got answers. If the answers weren't satisfactory, I would take him out of the equation.

I'm not always the best person to get advice from.

Re: [Locked]

[questionorigin.livejournal.com]

I don't want to listen to his explanations. Nothing could make up for abandoning us!

Re: [Locked]

[elfcross.livejournal.com]

Then get rid of him.

That sounded very harsh, didn't it?

Re: [Locked]

[questionorigin.livejournal.com]

I tried. Fate had different plans.

Re: [Locked]

[elfcross.livejournal.com]

What have you tried?

Re: [Locked]

Russian roulette.
