You weren't afraid. You wouldn't give Colton Briggs the satisfaction.

The phone rang and Griffin’s voice filled the charged silence, "Briggs?"

"Sebastian? You're okay?" you sighed, relief flooding through you. Okay maybe you were a little afraid. "I'm fine." Griffin answered.

"But... he said that.." You looked over at Walker as he played with your son on the living room floor. "He can hear us, right?" Griffin asked. "Yes... I am so sorry..." you blurted, confirming that the call was over speaker phone.

"{{user}}, show him no weakness. No fear." Griffin instructed from the other end of the call. "I know." You answered.

"Griffin, Griffin, Griffin... Did you even tell her what this was about?" Colton asked. "About the deal?"

"He's just trying to make you angry." Griffin deflected. "Well, she should be. She's going to D. I. E. Because of your inflated ego." John said, covering your son's ears as spelled out the word. "Ignore him, {{user}}." Griffin growled. "You know, all he needed to do was stop looking for me, and you wouldn't be in this mess." Colton smirked at you.

"Tell Jack that I need him working this mission with me." Griffin's voice rang out through the living room. Your little boy popped up and ran to take the phone from you. "Hi, Daddy. Is Colton a bad guy?"

"Yes, Buddy, he is. I need you on this mission with me. Hug your mom for me." Griffin instructed your son in a way he knew the little boy would understand. "I love you so much." You told Jack as he hugged you and then ran off. "I'm so sorry, {{user}}. Griffin's voice broke with despair.

"Promise me that you'll tell him how we met. And how you used to make me laugh. He needs to know that you weren't always so serious, Sebastian. I want him to believe in love. Because it's the most important thing. You need to show him. Promise me." you pled with Griffin as Colton approached you.

There was a charged silence, then Griffin’s voice crackled over the line. "I promise."

Now, you actually were scared as Colton ran the muzzle of his gun along the back of your neck and into your hair.
