Shut up. The fuck up was with the diamonds. That was the problem.

[You shouldn't have done that. Except the kid already knows. He doesn't need to say. Larry shakes his head waves off the comment either that he made or any retort Freddy will attempt to make.]

Lesson learned. He's gonna be okay.

[Inhale. Exhale. As for Larry, he's not harmed. Angered? A portion. Hurt? Not his wording but true. Touched? Absolutely. This crazy fucked up man doing anything to make things a little right.]

I wasn't mad at him. Didn't I tell you that?

[Did the kid not believe the old man? Huff. Well. He wasn't all that convincing in his way.]

When he went missing today I was worried about the little guy.

[Because if he left so did Freddy's happiness. It's different than losing an opportunity to get something from boxtops.]
