TEXTS 📲 KINGS
DARIUS: Hey fuckface. Do you make a habit out of beating up injured guys or was it just a special occasion?
DEREK: My intention was actually to kill you, but what fun is that when someone’s already made you suffer?
DEREK: I want to make myself perfectly clear, Anderson. You love to run your mouth. So you can do that, but every time you do, I’m going to take something from you.
DEREK: I don’t want to have to drag any more people into this fight than I have to. I want you and your father.
DARIUS: You can have Bruce [DELETED]
DARIUS: Killing me isn’t gonna bring your dad back, Derek.
DEREK: Don’t you fucking dare. Don’t even mention him.
DARIUS: You have no evidence Bruce had anything to do with what happened to him.
DEREK: I WAS THERE! I SAW HIM! YOUR FATHER DID THIS AND YOU’RE TRYING TO DEFEND HIM?
DEREK: You claim you’re better than him. That you want peace and love and all the good warm and fuzzy shit. But you are no better than him. You know he’s capable of it.
DARIUS: ...
DARIUS: Even if I was that doesn’t mean we can bring him back. I can’t /fix/ that. You have to be reasonable.
DEREK: I don’t have to do a god damn thing. You and your father continue to drive us further south. I have families starving too. But we have the added homelessness to boot.
DARIUS: We can work this out. You and I can just talk—
DEREK: The time for talking was years ago, Anderson. You have two options. You and your father surrender yourselves to me for punishment and disband the Serpents. Or. I will end anybody who even dares /breathe/ support in your name.
[A DELAY]
DARIUS: Derek—
DEREK: Answer me.
DARIUS: No. I’m not turning shit over to you.
DEREK: Then you’re the only person responsible for what happens next.
