"What is up with you?" Shyl asked banging the table as he turned to him.
"I'm not comfortable here." Jay said finally as he stood.
"You have a dad. I see the care he gives." He took a deep breath then continued.
" Your real dad's unknown but I have mine." His face was stunned by the words he said but what of it? He was still that man's son.
"He'll kick you off eventually." Shyl stated swallowing hard. He knew it was offensive but he cared.
"Stop saying that." Jay stated with tears in his eyes. They begun dropping.
"It's difficult for me to seat here and eat comfortably when my own dad is out there."
"But..."
"No need." He stopped and wiped his tears.
"When you'll have a dad you'll understand." Jay responded and walked out. Gene was there but toungue tied. All this dropped from nowhere. It hit both of them hard. Shyl begun crying as he watched Jay walk away. Since he left home he hadn't seen his dad. Was he alive or did he decide to go live with mummy. Slowly he walked through the dark once home he heard a loud bang. He wiped his tears slightly. There was dim light.
"Pa!" He shouted and rushed to the wooden aboard.
"Son" his dad responded as he received him all smiles. Since mummy passed it was the first time he saw his dad with joy.
"What were you banging?"
"I was trying to cook so that when you come home you don't find a mess as before."
"No noodles?" He asked happily.
"None." His dad shook his head.
"How have you been." Jay finally asked with a sigh.
"Good son." He said then continued.
"I know I treated you like trash after mum left. My life was a mess. It still is." He said certain. At least he realized it. I tried to be strong but at times it towed me off.
"I tried the noodle business but it failed. The hotel stuff... and now I want to try taking care of you. Maybe that's what mummy wants. He said happily rubbing Jays cheeks.
The day dream came to an end when he heard a loud bang. Maybe it was no longer a daydream. He rushed into the house to find men all over. He could barely keep count. His father was held by two beside a couch. His father was in his knees as the men held his hands high.His heart pulpitated as he shook in fear.
"Pa!" Tears came to his eyes.
"Perfect timing." A guy stated as he came to him and hit him. He fell forward as the two had let go. Tears were present in his eyes.
"Don't harm him." Jay stated crying. He was still outside just at the door with his day dream crashed just like that.
"Jay" his dad snorted amidst the blows he had received.
"Pa I'm here." He responded as he wholly walked in. A guy held him and banged the door locking it. He walked in with fear. His body shook uncontrollably.
"Jay sorry." He snorted yet again. Trying to raise himself at least to see his son one more time before God knows what occured.
"Sorry my shit." The guy stated as he gave him another blow on his face. He rolled on the thirteen year old carpet and fell on the other end. He'd never seen a black eye but today his dad had one.
"More to torture." Another guy stated as he walked to Jay. He held him as the helpless boy gave in. He had no strength to fight back.
"This old man of yours has a debt. A huge one in our casino." He stated reassuring him.
" Plus you are the boy boss is looking for because of that guy on the news. Who was it?" He asked as another answered. I could vaguely recall on my phone incident maybe that's the reason. Dews words came to thought.
"Maybe it's not good to know me." They were still in his head. Every word he stated in the plane.
"Pick me and leave him alone." Jay said boldly. The guy held his hand and dragged him close to his dad.
"Father son. One has a black eye. If I had time I'd give the son a hickey." He stated as the others laughed.
"Call the boss!" He commanded as they stopped laughing. He then hit him severally.
"Your boy's cute you know. Maybe that's why the rich boy choose him." He stated hitting him yet again.
"Too bad he's on his way or else I'd have..." He stated as he ran his hand along Jays face. Jay looked down as blood dripped. His skin was pierced.
"Guys connection is cut."
"They are here. Oops time is up." He repremanded as he hit him all over. Then they all hid except the two who came back to hold his dad. Jay sprawled on the floor in pain.
