“You won’t be saying that when you have to dance with me.” Dewey grinned, though he danced very well in actuality.

“Can you dance?” Mila asked Calloway then.

“You can’t even joke like that. I know you can dance. I love when you dance.” Dimitra scrhnched her face with a smile as she looked up at Dewey.

Calloway pinked a bit and he reached to ruffle his curls.

“I’m not very good, but I’ll try as long as you let me.” He admitted to Mila.

“Oh I’m not much of a dancer either. Ballet is kind of my limit. But I’ll try too if you don’t mind me dancing on your feet all night?” Mila laughed shyly.

Dewey fawned over Dimitra a bit more before looking over the other two. “Is everyone about ready to go?”

"You can dance on mine so I don't step on yours." Calloway chuckled before glancing up when Dewey spoke. "Yeah, I think we're ready. Are you guys ready?" He asked mostly to Dimitra and Mila.

Dimitra nodded and looked to Dewey.

"Can you get me one of Mama's furs from the coat closet?" She asked.

Dewey nodded and uttered an of course before fetching a white fur coat for Dimitra and holding it open for her to ease into. In the mean time Mila retrieved her heels and sliding on her jacket from Calloway.

"You should let me get you a new jacket one of these days." Calloway said to Mila, though he smiled when he saw her pulling it on.

Dimitra nestled into the fur and instantly went to cling to Dewey's arm as per usual.

“Then what will you wear?” Mila teased, cozying up to Calloway.

Dewey gave Dimitra an affectionate little peck at the top of her head before holding the door open for their troop.

"I'll figure something out." Calloway chuckled as he placed his arm firm around Mila's waist.

((FF))

Calloway had only ever seen the school where the Nikitin kids and Dewey all attended from afar and only a handful of times back when he was still "on the hunt", so when the group hopped into the back of the limo Mityr had so graciously rented for them, he didn't really know how long of a ride it was going to be. He didn't mind it though, he was having a good enough time just being with everyone. Mila, of course, was nestled close to his side, and Dimitra was kind enough to engage everyone, including him. Dewey wasn't outright cold towards Calloway, but he also didn't get the impression he was very welcome. He understood though and didn't hold it against him.

They'd been driving for some time when the limo finally stopped. Calloway tried to peek out the windows, but it was unclear where they were. It looked dark, though Calloway just wondered if the windows were tinted.

"Let's hurry, I didn't think we'd be this late!" Dimitra said as she gestured for everyone to file out.

“It’s not late, though.” Mila called after her Aunt, filing out of the limo.

The location was discreet, or so I’m told. It wasn’t well lit outside or inside either, evident from the low ambient lighting that could be seen through the windows. If there were other cars you wouldn’t know it, outside it was dark and quiet though there was some residual sound that escaped from briefly open doors.

As Calloway emerged after Dewey and Dimitra, Mila in tow, he furrowed his brow as he looked around. This didn't look like a prom venue, not in any respect. It was an abandoned lot, though it looked like everything was abandoned in the immediate area. There didn't appear to be any people nearby, save for some yelling happening in the far off distance.

"This...isn't right." He uttered, his grip tightening around Mila's waist.

Dimitra furrowed her brow and sank into Dewey as well, turning towards the limo when the engine cut off and the driver emerged from the driver's side.

"Good observation, Cal, but, really, I'm not impressed. You should have known that you weren't going to the right place ages ago." The driver spoke in a familiar voice that caused chills to run up Calloway's spine as he too whipped to turn towards the driver.

Though he wore the uniform of the limo company, as the man unbuttoned the suit jacket, a kevlar vest could be seen underneath, just above his dress shirt. He was in the process of adjusting a strap across his chest that held a sword and sheath to his back. He then proceeded to tug on a pair of leather gloves before discarding the uniform's hat.

"No..." He uttered quietly, eyes wide in shock.

Before him stood Nolan, his older brother. Nolan looked like Calloway in the way that siblings often look alike. They had the same sleepy eyes and straight nose, but where Calloway's jaw was soft and round with youthfulness, Nolan's was sharp and square. Though they were only a year and a half apart, Nolan's hard features and additional height made him look years older.

"Great to see you, Cal." Nolan gave a "pleasant" grin.

Dewey pulled Dimitra behind him, he never left home unarmed but seeing as Nolan was already wearing Kevlar he’d have to think a little harder about how to tackle this. He grit his teeth, stewing and angry at the betrayal he had already decided was Calloway’s fault.

Mila shrank into Calloway’s side, meek and afraid like her first encounter with a hunter. Though instead of hiding behind Sasha, it was Calloway. She recognized Nolan’s voice though she had never seen him before. She could tell it was him though, the tired eyes and the inky curls were a dead giveaway.

“Cal, what’s happening?” Mila uttered quietly.

"I-I don't-"

"Oh, please, Cal. Don't play stupid." Nolan scolded and rolled his eyes before gesturing with his hands dramatically. "I'm here because Dad told me to finish the job you started. Cap off a few of these pups, move onto the bigger dogs, and then collect the rest of our payment as well as what's left of your dignity." Nolan answered Mila, though he spoke to Calloway. "Great job, by the way, sticking with them and all and weaseling your way in close. Took a page straight from the Greenleaf playbook, hmm?"

Calloway stood, still mortified, though he moved to better wedge himself between Nolan and Mila.

"I don't know what you're talking about. I-I left, I'm done with Dad's work." He shook his head.

“I knew it, I fucking knew you couldn’t be trusted.” Dewey seethed, “Mila! Get away from him!” Dewey demanded, reaching for Mila’s wrist but she jerked it away, eyes still glued on Nolan.

She didn’t believe it.

“Your Dad hurt, Cal. He would never work with you guys again.” Mila said.

"Well, I mean, I think that's up for debate." Nolan shrugged. "Dad said you could come home, Cal."

Calloway felt his heart give a confused leap.

Of course part of him wanted to go home, his dad and brother had been the only family he'd had for, well, almost his whole life. He missed the good moments with the both of them, even if they were far and in between the older he got. He missed telling bad jokes with his brother and going on trips with his dad. He missed staying up way too late watching all their favorite movies and making late night runs to the corner store for junk food. He missed his family.

"Dad said you can come home if you take care of these dogs." Nolan said, reaching for a hefty looking bowie knife strapped at his thigh. He unhooked the holster and tossed it and the knife towards Calloway's feet.

“That’s enough.” Dewey pushed Dimitra further behind him before pulling out his gun. Even after losing his eye, Dewey remained an excellent shot, but he knew he couldn’t cap Nolan in the chest. But any shot would do just fine. He readied his weapon and fired once, aiming to get Nolan in the knee.

Mila yelped at the sound of gunfire, hiding her face into Calloway’s side.
