Micah: Yeah...what, did happen to Shawn....

Pockets Thu Mar 17, 2011 9:45 pm

Moira: From wot I understand 'e 'ad a load of 'eroin forced on 'im somehow. Caley gave it to 'im.

Cryonix Thu Mar 17, 2011 9:48 pm

Micah: Christ... I had no idea. I....

His phone rings...

Micah: Hello? Yes, this is Micah St. Clair....uh huh....What?

Jabberwocky Fri Mar 18, 2011 12:08 am

Ashley is about to say something regarding Stu, but decides to wait while Micah takes the call. He can't help but hope that somebody at least gets one call that doesnt involve Caley..."

Cryonix Fri Mar 18, 2011 12:11 am

Micah: I....I see. Thank you....I.....thank you.

He hangs up the phone and stares at it...

Jabberwocky Fri Mar 18, 2011 12:13 am

Colin can't help but sense something is up as he walks over

Ashley:"Everything alroit?"

Cryonix Fri Mar 18, 2011 12:17 am

Micah: That was the autopsy guy....my dad didn't die of cancer...

...he was poisoned. Apparently...his internal organs were black...and they found some...traces of...heroin....

Jabberwocky Fri Mar 18, 2011 12:22 am

Colin:"But...you...were with him until he died I thought?"

Cryonix Fri Mar 18, 2011 12:28 am

Micah: I was...apparently it had been happening for years. They said his organs were....mummified, almost...

Jabberwocky Fri Mar 18, 2011 12:32 am

Ashley:"Who would 'ave been so close to 'im to be able...
he closes his eyes, the name becoming more and more bitter to say.
Nuala."

Cryonix Fri Mar 18, 2011 12:33 am

Micah: It would make sense...

Jabberwocky Fri Mar 18, 2011 12:37 am

Colin:"That...that could mean that Caley convinced him to do it? Or do you think he did it on his own?...
If...she did convince him..."

he looks up, shaking his head

Cryonix Fri Mar 18, 2011 1:09 am

Micah: I don't think my birth mother is stable enough mentally....I think Nuala is behind all of this...

Jabberwocky Fri Mar 18, 2011 1:14 am

Colin looks at Micah

Colin:"Brother...while Caley is unstable...unpredictable...and dangerous...believe me when I say that the bitch can plan...Believe me I..."

he swallows as some of the darkest memories of his youth come into the forefront of his mind. He stands there for a moment, barely forcing himself past them.

Colin:"Don't...think that she isn't dangerous on her own..."

Cryonix Fri Mar 18, 2011 1:21 am

Micah: What...what are you talking about, Brother? You've always been quiet about it...even to me. I think we need to know....

Jabberwocky Fri Mar 18, 2011 1:25 am

Colin sits down, not saying anything, but its obvious that his memory is racing as he stares into the wall like its a movie screen. A movie he doesn't want to see again but has no choice

Cryonix Fri Mar 18, 2011 1:28 am

Micah sits next to him...

Micah: Come on, brother...talk to me.

Jabberwocky Fri Mar 18, 2011 1:51 am

Colin tries to hold his emotions back as the words come out

Colin:"There was...always people in the house...men...I...could barely understand them...accents or....or maybe they didn't speak english. Caley...she understood them. They....they would come to her. She would talk....they would leave....later they would come back....she would talk....they....they would leave. One day they....they came back with this man. He was was smaller...he had a black eye..blood around his lips...She pointed to the billiard table we had...."

he sighs

"He made some weak sound that...I'm sure it was begging. Some European language of some sort I think...like those guys. Usually...usually she would let me stay in the room. But that time...she had me leave. As the door closed I saw the man being held down to the table...and her...walking over holding a pool stick...no...the granny stick...with the metal end. As the door closed she lifted it over her head. By the time it was closed it had started to drop....
It was...impossible for me not to hear what was happening...his cries barely audible over the sound of his body being beaten. The sound...went from a thud sound to a cracking and finally gooey sound...After that...all I heard was silence...Then her...saying something angrily...I hid as the door opened. One of the men walked out...red...all over his grey jumpsuit...He came back with this plastic...like a tarp and...

After that...we got rid of the pool table...moved out of the house...those men still came to talk to mom...at least twice a week...And that man...I never saw him again...He...I...I recognized him...I couldn't figure out where from but...I knew I recognized him...finally it dawned on me...when Caley took me to the corner store...he would offer me candy...When I asked her...first time she told me he went on vacation...second time...she yelled at me...told me to mind my own business...third time....she ...she made sure I didn't ask a fourth time...I...never knew why she did it...or who those men were...or why the man who gave me candy had to..."

he looks forward, his breathing labored

Ashley:"...'ell..."

Colin rubs his head

Colin:"No...no that...that isn't right...that...no..."

he looks puzzled for a moment

Cryonix Fri Mar 18, 2011 2:20 am

Micah: Colin...? What the....?

Jabberwocky Fri Mar 18, 2011 2:55 am

Colin looks puzzled

Colin:"I...it's...all fuzzy...I..."

he shakes his head as his eyes water

Colin:"None of it adds up...none of it...what...no he...he was fine he...those men they...were they even?...I'm so confused I..."

his eyes widen, as if the curtain has been pulled back. He flips out.

Colin:"Why? You bitch why! I was a fucking child! Why?! Why would you do that?"

tears filled with anger run down his face

Colin:"Putting that shit in my food! I...why?..."

he stands up

Colin:"Sorry I...I need some air..."

Colin walks down the hallway and out of view

Pockets Fri Mar 18, 2011 11:46 am

Moira is completely stunned.

Moira: I thought it was jus' nightmares… I knew Caley traumatized 'im… but I 'ad no idea…. I'll go talk to 'im.

Hearing Colin's raised voice causes Alexis to look around. She watches, alarmed, as Colin walks off and her mother follows. She stares at her father.

Alexis: What happened now?

Cruel Britannia Fri Mar 18, 2011 11:48 am

Alex: Demon's from the past I'm guessing.

Jabberwocky Fri Mar 18, 2011 1:35 pm

Colin is sitting on the floor, his arms wrapped around his knees with his head buried. He rocks slightly back and forth

Pockets Fri Mar 18, 2011 5:22 pm

Alexis looks over at Alex, a bit overwhelmed.

Alexis: Oh, you're talking again...

As soon as Moira sees Colin, she's on the ground next to him. holding him as tightly as she would when he had nightmares as a child.

Jabberwocky Fri Mar 18, 2011 5:28 pm

Colin's body quivers as he buries his head into her shoulder, just like his childhood theres no safer feeling place he knows then here
