[Flashback]
"Who are you people!? What do you want from me!?" Slater yelled at the top of his lungs, struggling to break free from his binds. His eyes were blindfolded, amplifying the growing dread in his heart. Even so, he didn't show the slightest sign of fear; rather, he appeared fiercer.
"What the hell do you want?!" Slater roared, grinding his teeth angrily. "Take this blindfold off, or are you scared?"
Yet, if there was anyone who was scared right now, it was him.
How could Slater not be scared?
He had just been at the convenience store to buy something to eat. Atlas hadn't returned from wherever he rushed off to earlier. Slater had planned to wait for his First Brother and hear good news from Atlas, knowing that Atlas probably had something in mind to appeal to Penny's case.
Slater should have been eating and simply waiting for Atlas.
That was the plan.
