"Took you long enough." the other man complained, clearly bored of the game on his phone. His shades didn't mask his annoyance, the sarcasm was dripping from his voice. Stefan just ignored him, intent on cranking up the car and heading back to his territory. Matteo continued. "You devoured him didn't you?" he questioned, already knowing the answer. Stefan's lips twitched slightly at the accusation. "I just had a little taste, that's all." he replied to his second in charge. Matteo cringed at the admission.

He began to pull out all his clothes, shoes and necessities then stuffing what he could into his light blue suitcase. Ezra then ran to a hallway closet to find the box that carried a small amount of cash. He kept it hidden as long as he could from his dad and this time it worked. He opened it quickly before finding a few 100 dollar bills, put aside in case of emergencies or hard times. It wasn't much but it was something to give him some support. He quickly shoved the bills in his pocket before leaving the hallway to grab his suitcase from his room. He looked at his bedroom for the last time, remembering the events, good and bad that had occured in his house. He turned away, feelings of sadness lingering in his chest. On the way down stairs he stopped at a picture of his mother. She was young, beautiful and happy. He and her had booked a photoshoot when he was 4 years old and she held him caringly in her arms.
