The asset has no idea where he's going
But the kid is still asleep in the back seat
And he knows that he has to out as much distance between him and that city as possible
After driving for a while
He pulls into a McDonald's drive-thru
He starts ordering a few burgers when he hears raffie
I want nuggies
The asset turns around smiling
You got it
He drives to a nearby park and the two go to a bench
Raffie
Stuffing his face
And looking at other kids playing
Do you
want to play?
The asset reluctantly asks
N-nah man
Raffie still eyeing the other kids
We have time
Nah that's baby shit
I ain't no baby
When's the last time you acted like a kid?
When my dad walked out
Momma just had a new baby and said I had to be the mans
I was 4
You have a brother?
Well no
Not anymore
What happened?
Idk man
One day he was just gone
Why did your dad leave?
Momma said it was cuz he hated us
He loved her before the kids
Why the hell would she tell you that?!
She was gettin high again
Oh
Yeah
They got quiet for a moment
Raffie hadn't actually been to a park for anything other than "work" and he desperately just wanted to be a kid
The asset could tell
After he was done eating he got up and smiled
Then he ran to the slide
He yelled woohoo as he slid down
Raffie looked embarrassed
The asset then ran to the monkey bars
As he passed from one bar to the next he yells
I'M HAVING SO MUCH FUN
IT'S SO FUN TO BE A KID
Raffie finally stands up
Yo
You makin a fool of yourself freak
Dees moms skerd you gonna snatch their babies
The asset laughed
Nervously
The kid might be right
But he didn't care
He just yelled back
I'M GOING ON THE SWING!
Looking like a crazy man
The asset proceeded to showcase how much fun he was having in the most dramatic way possible
A woman walked up to raffie and said
Do you know that man?
Ma'am
I won't lie to you
He's been following me around and I think he's trying to kidnap me
She looked disturbed and walked up to the asset
She says
I am going to call the cops on you pervert!
Whoa whoa
Don't do that
I'm just trying to get the kid to play with me
She looks shocked and offended
She pulls out her phone
N-no
Don't
Don't do that!
He reaches out to stop her
She screams
Several nearby mothers come rushing to her rescue
Shouting
Asking if she needs help
One has 911 ready to go she just has to press dial
And one was just windmilling her purse as she charged
Raffie starts laughing his head off
The asset wants to get angry but he can't cause a scene
He looks at raffie like he's been betrayed
After the asset gets hit with the purse raffie finally confesses
The women get so angry with him
A new target was acquired and about to feel the wrath of a wild pack of angry mothers
The asset tells out
Wait!
It's not his fault
He just recently lost his mother and I'm taking him to an orphanage
We only stopped here for lunch and I was just trying to get him to have some fun
The women weren't amused but they were sympathetic
They all shot raffie glances of pity before looking to the asset as if he were a saint
One woman even tried to give him her number
They apologized and went back to watching their kids
The asset tells raffie that shit wasn't funny
He says I know it was hilarious and laughs again
The two get in the car and take off again
Finally raffie asks
So we really doin this?
Givin me a fresh start
The asset says
Yes
With a straight face
Will it really work?
Yes
Am I ever going to see you again?
No
Raffie sighed and the asset immediately felt bad but he wasn't going to give him false hope
Besides
He knew that raffie could never look back
He needed to explain that to him
Raffie looks at him
So I won't need to worry about unc G anymore?
No
He'll never find you
Because you had your Spanish friends kill him?
Raffie sounded calm and accepting
The asset froze for a moment
...
H-how... wh-why?
What makes you...
He scoffs
I um
I don't know where you would
I heard you
I wasn't sleeping
Shit
