   Mori was waiting for the kick. he grabbed Tim's ankle and attached a metal cuff to it, pulling the linked chain down and forcing Tim's leg straight as he chained it to the leg of the bed. "good, destroy that mind of yours, Tim. you don't need it, embrace the insanity." Tim would have made a good pet, but maybe utterly destroying his mind would be even better. the pain it would cause Daren would be so much more...fulfilling. to see Tim and know what he had been and what he had become, that could be true torture. "are you so insane, you care not that you lay on a man bleeding to death? who's internal fluids are leaking out and slowly poisoning him?" he chuckled and leaned down so his lips brushed Tim's ear, "that's sick, Timmy." Daren ignored the yells as he ran down the stairs. he was on his bike and driving before anyone could stop him. they had an exit, they had a time frame of how long they were most likely driving before he received the text, that was all he needed. he knew the area they were in, there wasn't many places you could go. he'd find them. Just wait for me, Tim. I'm coming.

 Tim gave a yelp, feeling his leg pulled out and straightened before it was chained elsewhere. s**t. He rested his head on George's shoulder, thinking, one leg still bent and serving as the only leverage for his weight he had. His mind scrambled for something to do or something to say. But at the mention of George he looked down. That was right, he had already forgotten. he looked down at the man's face in shock and worry. How fast was he bleeding out? It didn't seem to deep, but that didn't make it any less painful. Hearing Aomine so close though he flinched his head away but quickly turne to ram it into the man, going so far to try and bite him before keeping low to George. George was already hurt and he wouldn't let the man do it again. "I've been in more sick situations." he growled, needing some way to get free so he could beat the man, and so his hands started to work on the tight handcuffs, twisting and turning and tugging. No doubt Mori was deriving some pleasure from seeing him struggle. Even if Tim broke his thumbs he still couldn't escape. He could feel it digging into his skin, shaving it away slowly and turning it raw. Let Mori watch entertained, Tim would get out.

Mori watched Tim struggling, the boy's body moving as he tried to get free, and waited for the perfect moment. Tim was a little further to the side than normal and Mori struck, hitting George and making the man cry out in pain. "hmm, you may have been in situations where you, yourself, were humiliated and in pain, but that isn't the same as this." he chuckled and stroked George's hair back, "i wonder if he can still taste you as he lies, dying. an interesting thought, though i don't think him capable of answering. shouldn't you be trying to comfort him?" he asked, sitting on the chair, "though, you don't know much of him, shall i enlighten you? George Rubenacker has been happily married for the past eighteen years. he is the proud father of three, a boy and two girls, and attends his son's soccer games whenever possible. he's a good father, supportive, protective, always there for his children when they need him. his work wares him down, but seeing his happy family safe when he comes home makes it all worth it." George was able to get his breathing back, the pain manageable for the moment. "s-stop," he whispered, his voice ragged, "don't, don't you dare pretend to know what a good father is...you sick b*****d." Mori laughed, "hmm, we do have vastly different styles of raising our children, don't we? but look, Daren has turned out fine, in fact the strength i gave him as a child has proven to be what has made him, don't you think?"

"You leave him alone, Aomine!" he snarled as George cried out again, stopping his movement and settling over the officer once more. He didn't know what to do. It was always about preserving his own life but now he had to protect George's. "Stop touching him!" and tried to move closer, but his leg prevented him from moving forward, as did the other chains on him. She glared helplessly at the man before looking down at George, shallow breath. He was in that much pain. "Hey, just focus on breathing." he said softly. "don't focus on the pain focus on breathing." But Aomine made hi mgrit his teeth and snarl again, "he would have turned out a lot better if you hadn't killed his mother! Andrew had more sympathy than you!"

George nodded at the instructions, but it was amlost impossible to do. he was loosing consciousness and to be perfectly honest, he was welcoming the numbing darkness with everything he had. Mori shook his head, "i didn't kill her, Tim. I freed her. Her lie meant nothing, addicted to drugs and drink, she was little better than a whore, and i freed her of that life. had her son not been such a disgrace, she would not have felt the need to destroy her mind the way she had, but i trained Daren properly after that, in honor of her memory." Daren had ditched the bike a mile back, it was too loud, and ran the rest of the trail up to a cabin, praying this was the one. there had been two roads to choose from and he'd been forced to take a wild guess. he rounded a corner and felt relief rush over him as he saw George's car sitting in the front driveway. he texted Iroh, letting him know where it was before slipping around back and drawing his gun. he pressed himself to the wall next to the back door and took a deep breath, knowing what he was going to be facing. he needed to be strong, he couldn't let his past control him. not now, not when Tim and George's lives depended on him.

"You killed her! She was the only good thing in his life you're what's a disgrace!" he snapped, hearing the shallow breathing slow down. "George. George no focus on breathing, focus on your lungs." he said, gritting his teeth. THis was going to hurt. Taking a breath he tightened his muscles and did his best to bounce up, placing his knee on the wound and leaning on it before sliding his knee off. "Focus on the pain, focus on breathing." he said, growling at Aomine "You be quiet! You're nothing but useless information! I've no need to know of Daren's past from you! He'll tell me when he's ready!" Once he got out of these handcuffs he was going to tear that man a new one. And he vaguely wondered if Andrew ever got this angry.

George gasped in pain, groaning as it brought him back from the darkness. he just wanted it to stop. why would he focus on the pain? what good would that do? Mori stood up, walking back over to Tim, but his eyes were on the back door, "i have an idea, Timmy. let's put on a little show for him. i'm sure it will be one my son will enjoy." he released the chain holding the handcuffs and Turned Tim over so he was laying on the cop. Mori straddled them both, pinning Tim down, and wrapped his hands around Tim's throat, his hands tightening to cut off the boy's air. "let's see how well he remembers that day all those years ago." Daren could vaguely hear what was being said, but his blood ran cold when he realized what his father was doing. he touched the handle and saw the door was unlocked. with one swift movement, he was through the door, his gun trained on Mori who was casually strangling a blood covered Tim. "let him go," Daren growled, feeling sick at the sight. he shook it off, focusing, "get off him. now." Mori smiled, "your knight in shining armor arrives." he released Tim but took a switch blade from his pocket, pressing it to Tim's throat, "shall we see who's faster? will i be able to slit his throat before your bullet kills me?" he dug the knife into Tim's throat, "what do you think, little one?"

Timmy struggled to move or get away, making sure he wasn't leaning to far away from the man beneath. The anger was being replaced with fear once more, that glint in Mori's eye looking anything but friendly. He'd seen that look, he'd seen it but his brain was scrambling to figure out where. Aomine removed the chain, Tim landed on to man beneath him with a 'thump before groaning. "How're you d--" eyes widened in pain, leg twisting as he was rolled over, "Stop! Stop stop stop stop!" he cried out as the pain continued to throb. Luckily the chain had twisted with his body, but it could only twist so much, leaving his leg at an uncomfortable but non-harmful position. The worst he could get, aside from the stretched muscle, was a cramp and sore legs in the end. But the stretching hurt the worst, trying to twist but his joints warned him that any farther and he wouldn't have his leg attached, so he suffered with the uncomfortable stretch, gritting his teeth at the pain. And he remembered this pain, and the gleam. Except instead of being added on to him, it had been fading. Andrew had been holding a gun to his head. The scream was cut off and his hands reached for the ones around his neck, mouth open, trying to gasp for air. Oh god, he was going to die here. He knew it from the start, he knew it from the start but he'd still hoped. Fingers curled into the beds, head turning to try and get the dark fingers off, making rasping noses trying to get anything, anything Mori could offer. He arched his back up, trying to buck the man off but to no avail. Moving only made his body expend more oxygen. Pain, no air, his brain was dizzy. He barely registered Daren, saliva leaking from the corner's of Tim's mouth as he continued to gape. Then his throat opened up, the scrawny chest gulping down the air like it was holy water even as the warm blade pressed against him, chest heaving with each breath. Daren, Daren was in the room. "Shoot him!" he exclaimed, feeling something sting at his throat. "Daren shoot him!"

Daren held the gun steady, his finger on the trigger. he was ready to pull it, the years of pain and torment building up, but then he made the biggest mistake of his life. he met Mori's eyes. that cold glint, the knowing look, in that instant, he was a child once more. a well trained puppy. all will left him and his hands that had always been so steady, started to tremble. "Oh?" Mori smiled as he saw Daren falter and then fall, "too bad, Tim. your knight seems to have remembered his training." he removed the knife from Tim's throat and moved off the bed, standing directly in front of his shaking son. "lower your gun." he ordered and watched as slowly, Daren obeyed. "good boy, Daren. come here." his son dropped his eyes and shuffled forward, hesitating just outside of arm's reach before moving closer. Mori took the gun from limp fingers and pressed it between Daren's eyes, lifting his head with the cold metal. "I should shoot you," he said softly, "kill you now and be done with you. but-" he glanced over at Tim, "i won't kill you, no, you'll do that yourself." he placed the gun back in Daren's hand, "this is your fault, you know," he said, watching at Daren's shoulders tensed, "your mother, your woman, that little girl from the ring and now him. all of them were destroyed by you. they would still be alive if they had never met you. you break everything you touch, boy." Daren let out a sobbing breath, "it'll be ok, it's ok now." he stepped behind Daren and pulled him back against his chest, it was only by a few inches, but he was still taller than his son. he slid his hand down Daren's arm and lightly gripped the hand holding the gun, lifting it and up to press to Daren's own temple. "I will let him live, Daren, but in exchange you must die in his place."

"Daren!" Timothy yelled, struggling to free himself from hte handcuffs on his wrist. The only thing he was succeeding in was scratching them up and rubbing them raw, skin red with irritation and broken skin. "Daren ignore him! Shoot him!" he cried out, feeling the bone of his thumb continuously hit the metal in his struggle. Why couldn't he escape? Why? "Keep it lifted! Stop listening to him! AOmine you leave him alone!" and struggled harshly on top of George. "Shoot him, Daren! Shoot him!" he screamed, feeling something warm run down his hands as he pulled harder against the handcuffs. Blood, that's all it could be since the feeling had gone numb. "Daren if you shoot yourself what will happen to Tarte and Anna and the boys who love basketball?!" weak words to help Daren out of it. "And Iroh?! And who's going to catch Andrew?! What about Apple?!" he twisted another way. "Shoot him! Shoot him!"

Mori smiled as he looked at Tim over Daren's shoulder. "it's no use, Timmy. he only obeys one voice and that is mine." he straightened and stepped back, "do it, Daren. give him life." Tears were falling down Daren's cheeks as he looked at Tim, "they'll be ok." he said softly, "everyone will be ok. they'll be safe, when i'm gone. everyone will be safe." his finger slowly squeezed the trigger, his eyes closing as a look of peace finally settled over his face. it was finally the end. a gun shot rang through the cabin. for a split second, there was absolute silence before a wet thud broke through. they body hit the ground hard, blood from the headshot staining the floors a permanent red. Iroh ran into the cabin through the open back door, breathing hard. he looked at the body on the floor and shivered before moving to take the gun from his friend's hand. "it's ok," he said softly as Daren's eyes opened and looked at him. "it's ok. he can't hurt you anymore." Daren looked at Iroh as if he wasn't sure that what he was seeing was real. his eyes fell to the gun held in Iroh's hand and then finally to his father on the cabin floor. "he's gone." Iroh said softly and pulled Daren into a hug as more officers came into the room. two ambulances were pulling up the driveway, EMTS already spilling out, but amide the chaos, he and Daren stood perfectly still, holding each other close. "Tim," Daren finally said, pulling away and hurrying to the bed. the cuffs and chains had been released and Daren lifted Tim into his arms so the first set of EMTs could hurry George away. "Oh gods, Tim-" he buried his head against the other man's and sobbed, "i'm sorry. I'm so sorry." Iroh walked to them and stood on Tim's other side, putting his arms around both men and encompassing Tim in the warmth of their body heat as the second set of EMTs waited for George's gurney to be wheeled out so they could bring theirs in for Tim. "you're safe." he told them both, thanking the gods he had arrived in time.

"You shut up!" He yelled at Aomine, looking back at Daren. "No they won't! Daren put the gun down! Daren they need you! They nee--" But a bullet fired out, the chained man screaming, panic flaring and covering his entire body as the other man's name left his lips. Silence filled the air, heart stilling before Aomine's grip loosened and fell, the body falling shortly after. Then suddenly the small cabin was filled with people, Tim looking at Daren as he was unchained and moved off of George. The adrenaline was keeping him still, heart racing, he still couldn't hear much, the noises around him sounding like he was underwater. Then suddenly someone was holding him and disgust and fear rose in his body, about to squirm away until he heard Daren. he didn't want to be touched, the body was too hot, he could feel the sweat, the hot breath, "It's okay." he murmured, closing down his churning stomach to tightly hug the other, hand running through his hair, trying to bring the poor man closer. "You're okay. You're okay. It's all right Daren you're safe." Then Iroh came from behind and Tim's body soon tried to shut down, tears springing to his eyes. he didn't want to be touched, but Daren needed comfort, and Iroh was trying to comfort. His stomach couldn't hold back, man pushing them both away before spilling his breakfast on the bed.

 Iroh got out of the way just in time, Tim loosing what little he had onto the bed. George had been taken out and he heard the ambulance start up as it sped to take him to safety. "come on, he needs to go to the hospital," he said softly to Daren. Daren nodded numbly and lay Tim down on the gurney, taking a step back as the EMTs went to work. he wanted to go along, he wanted to be with Tim, but Tim wouldn't want him there. he'd just remind Tim of what had happened. he looked away, his hands closing into fists. "take care of him," he whispered softly, taking another step back and stumbling over an officer that was hurrying to the body. Daren's eyes slowly turned to look at what remained of his father and he knew that it was going to be a long time before it really sunk it that the man was gone. "i'll-i'll text Madison so he will meet you at the ER, so-so you won't be alone." he said to Tim as they started to wheel him away. "A-and," they glanced at him, letting him finish, "i'm sorry," he whispered, "i'm so sorry."

"Stop touching me." he said hoarsely, stomach just trying to push out nothing but air before he was forced onto the gurney. He tried to fight back but his body was growing exhausted quickly as the adrenaline left. "No, Daren. Go to Daren he needs help." and tried to sit up only to be pushed down again. "No!" he shouted, hearing that Jason would see him. "I don't want him to see me. I don't want him to see me! Don't take me to that hospital!" But unfortunately, for his wounds, it would be the closest one. "Daren! Iroh! Please don't let me go alone!"

Iroh had to make one of the hardest decisions of his life. he knew that Daren was inches away from breaking down, that he needed to be allowed time to cope, but Tim needed him and were Daren in his right mind, there wouldn't be a question of his going or not. however, if Daren went with Tim, he'd push everything down and refuse to deal with it. someday it would come back, it would hit him full force and he wouldn't be able to ignore it anymore and it just might finish the job Mori had started. So did Iroh tell Daren to go or leave Daren and go with Tim himself? Which would he be hated for less? he placed his hand on Daren's shoulder and pushed him towards the gurney, "go with him. that's an order." Daren was looking at his father's face, into those dead, blank eyes as they stared off into nothing. this was the second time he looked into that gaze, the second time his parent was killed in front of him and left, eyes open, to watch him. he jumped at Iroh's touch and nodded, forcing himself to look away as he followed the gurney to the ambulance. "it's ok, Tim," he said softly, forcing his usual smile onto his face, "i'm here. you're ok."
