Tyler couldnât understand why Quinn was so understanding. What if he murdered that guy? Would he still tell him it was okay to make mistakes? What he did wasnât a mistake. Tyler was enraged. He was mature enough to know he had real issues. The answer to all his questions was right there on the windshield. Quinn had built an entire community through criminal ties. âSo this is, like, what, a neighborhood for the mob?â Deep down, Tyler was a good person. He was just dealt an awful hand and did his best to make ends meet. It was possible Quinn was cut from the same cloth. Or maybe, just maybe, he enjoyed having blood on his hands. The latter seemed more likely. Quinn came from money, didnât he. He was just another overprivileged prep who wanted to build his own empire. And yet, Tyler respected him. He knew all of this was for his family. He was a man who would do anything for his loved ones and that was the kind of man, husband, and father Tyler hoped to be someday.Â
âYou donât have to convince me or threaten me to keep your secret safe, Quinn. Youâve been like a father to me. Hell, youâre the only person who would show up to jail and bail me out without asking questions. You never make me feel bad for who I am or what Iâve doneâŚYou just want me to be better and if you think helping you with this project will keep me and your family out of harmâs way, then Iâm all in. You can trust me.â Quinn couldnât find a friend in Jake, he was too reckless and selfish, but Tyler would step up and fill any shoes he needs to.Â

It was times like these, Quinn knew he betted on the right horse. Tyler would surely cross the finish line while giving it all heâs got. He was an animal. One without a home or a family and because of that, he was dangerous. Itâs harder to break someone when theyâve got so little to lose. Thatâs precisely why Quinn liked him. Heâs always had affinity for the troubled ones. From Monica to Myles, to now Tyler. Some of the best people he knew, came from literally nothing and he admired those people. Even wanted to be more like them and less like himself.
âI knew I could trust you,â he gives Tyler a pat on the back. âBut, itâs always nice to hear it.â Quinn took one last look at the development before he turned the car on and drove away. âNow, what do you say we go home? Iâm sure you could use a shower and Iâve got to get busy so youâll be ready to start classes Monday. Plus, I told Brooke weâd be have lunch together so youâll wanna get settled before she gets home.â
