First Night On The Job

"Please...? We just want to help." Jasper said quietly, holding Dante close.

Dante swallowed hard and wjispered in Jasper's ear as he teared up.

"Wh-what...?" Jasper said, looking upset as he hugged Dante tighter.

Dante made an upset sound and curled in closer.
"W-What is it?" Alex asked quietly.

Jasper looked up at Alex, a hurt look in his eyes as he teared up as well.

Alex felt his heart compeltly break as it dawned on him.

Jasper bit his lip, trying not to cry as he hugged Dante protectively.

Alex bit his lip torn between crying and a growing rage he felt at the fact that they did this to his son, he looked at Artemis.

Artemis was already heading back outside, muttering angrily as he slammed the front door shut behind him; the sound of a motorbike starting and driving off soon following.

Jasper glanced up nervously, looking worried.

Alex sighed, "Med room...."
Raven frowned as he watched the video of Artemis killing his men that had touched Alex.

Jasper slowly nodded and carried Dante to the med room, sitting down on a bed in there with him.

Artemis was just getting back to Raven's, quickly killing the guard that was at the front door; not bothering to sneak in another way this time. He took the man's gun and put it where he'd carried his own until Raven's men had taken it before storming into the building.

Alex swallowed hard as he went to work.
Raven noticed the guard gone and saw Artemis was back.

Jasper sat stroking Dante's hair, trying to keep him calm.

Artemis looked up at a camera he passed and smirked; the look in his eyes darker than it had been last time. He waved up at the camera, guessing Raven was watching before going off and killing a guard that had just spotted him.

Dante whimpered softly.
Raven cursed and grabbed his things, going to his secret room.

"Shh..." Jasper said softly, trying to relax him, still gently stroking his hair. "It's okay..."

Artemis went through the house, killing anyone who came near him, occasionally looking for more of Raven's men, hoping to find Raven himself.

Alex worked quickly wanting to make sure his son was going to be ok.
Dante curled as close as he could when Alex stopped working.
raen sat shaking in the room.

Jasper frowned, carefully pulling Dante into his lap, hugging him as close as possible.

"Where are you Raven...?" Artemis called as he neared Raven's office, singing the words in an eerie tone, his clothes almost soaked with the blood of Raven's men.

Raven had his gun out when Artemis entered the room, "Why are you doing this?"

"Why do you think?" Artemis growled, glaring at him, not scared at all like the first time Artemis was there. "You hurt my family."

"Yeah..... Because you stole what was mine...." Raven muttered.

"We didn't steal him. He asked us to come get him." Artemis hissed, stepping closer, his bloody knife still in his hand.

Raven held his gun up, worried for the first time ever. "I-I wouldn't of let them touch Alex or the kid..... I didn't know..."

"Sure you didn't; I know you have cameras!" Artemis snapped angrily, not even so much as looking at the gun, not bothered by it this time.

"I don't sit and watch them all the time....." Raven replied.

"I know you don't, the rest of the time you're with them." Artemis growled.
