Archer buckled Sofie into her seat before climbing into the driver's side and slammed the volvo's door shut. The car rumbled to life and soon, they were off to Connor's house. He listened carefully to the directions while Sof sat in the back, feeding Jascaar. When they pulled into the neighborhood, Archer wasn't very surprised. But it didn't bother him. Vegas had nasty streets, but that didn't always reflect the people.
He pulled to a stop at the front of the house. His eyes scanned over the house and then, the yard. Sof peered out the window before looking to Connor. "Someone should clean. Oh, Archie can doit." She smiled happily as she held out the half-filled bottle for Connor. Archie took another look before his eyes fell on Connor. "Well, you can come by the house anytime. Me and Sof get lonely." He gave a half smile, "Or if you need anything."

Connor unbuckled, taking the bottle and sliding it into the side pocket. He shook his head at Sofie. "H-he doesn't need to.." Forcing a smile, he reached to take the little kitten and put it in his backpack where it wouldn't get hurt. He knew what was coming. "Alr-right.. Thank y-" Jon was standing in the now open door, glaring.
Connor swallowed. "Bye," He whispered, climbing out.
"Hurry your ass up Connor."
He lowered his gaze, slinking towards his father.
But Jon didn't even care there was a car idling in his drive where they could see. He struck Connor across the face, grabbing him by the throat and dragging him towards the door.
Connor writhed, clawing at his throat. "Dad-.." He choked.

Sofia handed the kitten over, a smile still plastered on her face as he left the car. Archer watched his dad, looking back to Sof as he spoke. "You ready?" He asked her. A scream was all the response he got as she pointed to the window. "Help, help!"
He looked to the front lawn, watching as Connor was grabbed by the throat. "Cover your eyes. Don't open them, until I say otherwise." He quickly unbuckled his seatbelt and opened the door. Sofie had her hands over her eyes, peeking as she saw Archer walked around the car. "Hey! Stop!" He wasn't sure of what to do, but he knew he couldn't just let the kid get the crap beat out of him, especially with Sofie in the car.

Connor growled curses, trying to knee his father between the legs.
"Fuck off," Jon spat as the guy came towards them, shoved Connor inside. He hit the living room floor on hands and knees, wincing as little shards of glass pricked his skin. The inside of the house wasn't much cleaner.
Jon eyed the guy coming towards him and Connor took the chance to scamper up, moving for the stairs.
Jon kicked him in the stomach and he gagged, tasting blood. He reached a hand for the stairs, practically climbing up them, yelped as his leg was grabbed, head hitting the floor. He groaned, dizzy as he gazed up at the blood crusted belt hanging on a hook, before he ended up unconscious, hoping Archer didn't do anyhing tsupid.

Archer just kept going closer. He was already a trouble maker.. why would this be any different? As Connor was kicked in the stomach, Archie began to run. He tried to get around the guy, but Connor was already unconsious. 'What are you gonna do? Fight the big man? It won't work. You might not be as skinny as that boy, but your still a wimp.' His hand quickly fled to his pocket as he slipped past the man to Connor. "Get back or I'll call the police." He punched in the number, watching the guy as he tried to pick Connor up.

Jon held his hands up, smirking drunkenly. He wouldn't go to jail, he would let Connor go this once. He glanced towards his son, blood splattering his lips and trickling faintly from his nose. He shrugged, grabbing a case of beer and stumbling up the stairs. A door slammed and locked and the house fell silent except for Jascaar crying in Connor's backpack, and his own rasping breaths.

He shook his head, slipping his phone back into his pocket. Wrapping one of Connor's arms around his neck, he stood up and grabbed the bookbag. He stumbled down the stairs and just continued out to his car. "Connor?" Archie asked, leaning him up against the car before unzipping the bookbag. He pulled Jascaar out carefully, trying to sooth the crying kitten. "Connor.. are you okay?"

Connor gagged, coughing, and shrank away. "Don't touch m-me..." He rasped brokenly, gripping at his cramped stomach as he spit up blood, shaking. He drew in a breath, leaning against the car and rubbing at his eyes angrily. "F-fucker..." He mumbled to himself, looking at Archer brokenly. "You sh-...shouldn't h-have seen that..." He rubbed at his throbbing head, felt sick and gagged. But there was nothing he could throw up.

He backed up, looking at Sofie. She still had her eyes covered which made him smirk. "I couldn't just let him do that.." He retorted, opening the back passengers side. "Here, hold Jascaar." He placed the kitten into her lap. Closing the door, he looked back to Connor. Archie picked up the bookbag and zipped it so it would be closed before handing it out for Connor.

Connor bit his lip, taking it. He knew Archer had seen all the drugs inside, considering he had taken Jascaar out. "Ow, f-fuck.." He touched his stomach, drawing in a wheezing breath and closing his eyes for a moment, tears rolling down his cheeks.

His hands dropped by his side as the bag was taken. "Are you okay?" Archer asked, hesitating as he saw tears start to wet Connor's cheeks. "Come on.." He mumbled, opening the passenger's door. "Don't let Sof see you cry or she'll cry and there's no stopping her." He smiled softly.

Connor rubbed at his face, climbing in. He drew his legs up, closing his eyes and resting his head against the window. He swallowed, coughing softly as he buried his face in the sleeve of his hoodie.

As Connor climbed into the car, Archie made his way to the driver's side before getting in. "Is he staying with us?" Sof chirped from the back seat. She petted Jascaar with one hand while she twirled her fingers in her hair. Her eyes were glued to Jascaar as Archer began to make his back home. "Yeah, but that doesn't mean you can stay up late." He answered, turning onto the main street.
"He stay in my room?"
"Your bed is too small.. so no." The car ride was silent the rest of the way. Sofie had fallen asleep in her car seat and was still asleep when they arrived at the apartment. "If you wanna change, you can change into some of my clothes. My room is the one on the right before the bathroom." He told Connor as the car shut off.

Connor didn't utter a word on the drive, kept his eyes closed and his head down. He just nodded at the offer as they pulled up, and climbed slowly out of the car, hugging his backpack close.

"You can just go on in.. Mom stays in her bedroom til' dad gets home and he's," Archer paused to look around, "No where in sight.." He opened the back door, taking Jascaar from Sofie. He balanced the cat in one arm while he unbuckled her and pulled her onto his hip. Her eyes fluttered before she rested her head on his shoulder. He followed Connor into the apartment, closing the door behind him.
