"As much as I hate to admit it, that's probably the only thing I got from you. The willingness to kill a man with enough reason."
'No… you didn't get that from me, but from your father. That's for sure,' was what Rocco wanted to tell Maxen, but kept his thoughts to himself. It was better for Maxen to think his father was a felon and someone not worthy to even consider in this life. Instead of Maxen knowing the truth that the person who ruined all their lives was a child trapped in a man's body and the person whose blood run in Maxen's veins.
Rocco watched Conrad and Maxen leave after their conversation. Maxen went out first, but before Conrad would leave, he stopped. Conrad looked back in Rocco's direction. No word came out of Conrad's mouth as he just stared at his old dear friend.
