Black Promise

"Liam," Riley said with tears, she slowly opened her eyes. She placed her fingers in his thick hair. She sobs.

"What are we gonna do with him," she said.

They were bound to talk about it no matter how they tried to hide from the truth, their son was on the loose manipulated by their greatest enemy, having no idea who they really were to him, and worse they were his targets. 

Liam rose to his feet.

"If he comes at us, with the intent to kill, I'm not sure I can..." she sobs.

"Hey, hey," He said, wiping her tears with his thumb, her gaze landing on his.

"We don't have to make that tough choice, if he goes berserk we put him down, not kill him" he states, she nods.

"I promise, we will do what we can to save him, and that starts by putting Barbra down, she's the one pulling the strings".

She nods.

"I promise" he adds slowly.
