[b]Baylen - Thomas' Apt - Danielle/Thomas/Demaro/Lancaster[/b]

Baylen took note of how Danielle reacted when he stepped so close to her. Hopefully he made her uncomfortable enough to realize he was serious with how he felt. But Thomas apparently didn't like how close he got either, as he was quick to defend her. Although Danielle remained calm during the instigation, this only fueled his anger. As far as he knew she was acting the part but had never played the part and her first test was a heist that could do them all in. 

When Thomas spoke, Baylen kept his mouth shut as hard as it was. Thomas was still his boss and what he said would go, no matter how much Baylen might vocalize himself. He hated this stubborn side of Thomas. He was a border line dictator. He internally agreed that Danielle did seem to make sense for their hostage. And he wasn't going to offer up Charlie. Baylen was glaring back at Danielle, Demaro standing behind her with a look that made it clear he was ready to fight Baylen if he tried anything stupid. His attention was quickly pulled away though when Thomas slammed his hands on the table. He looked back to him, eyes narrowed. 

[I]"If you have a problem with my methods, you can address me or you can leave - But don't you dare" Thomas slapped the table. "Don't you dare take it out on other members of the gang." Thomas looked sternly at Baylen and spoke in a threatening voice. "Now: are you in this, or are you out?" [/I]

Baylen couldn't help but finish the last thought on his mind. He had a lot of respect for Thomas but when he was put in a corner he spoke his mind and would always fight back. "Oh, so she's a member of the gang now huh? Fine then. I'm in." He turned to Danielle. "Well welcome aboard sugar and enjoy the ride. Hopefully you won't get hurt with the big boys because that would be a shame, wouldn't it?" He glared down at her. He could feel his anger clouding his mind and creating terribly tempting thoughts of getting rid of her himself. He looked to Thomas then back to Danielle. He walked right up to her where his chest would meet with hers if she didn't step back and looked down on her, before moving aside and back towards Lanny who was drinking his beer. He needed something to relax him. Hell he wanted to get fucked up at this point, anything to dissipate the rage coursing through his mind, anything to make his mind shut down and forget. He grabbed a beer and turned to Lancaster, popping the lid off. "Thanks for the back up" he said sarcastically in a bitter tone, taking a sip of his drink. He knew Lanny probably wouldn't have stepped in, it's not his nature, but he secretly hoped he would. He might of come across as arrogant and aggressive but he stood by his point that Danielle was a risk not worth having. Maybe he could prove that to Thomas some day...if something were to happen on 'accident'.

Baylen drank his beer, showing his submission to Thomas as he leaned against the wall on the other side of the room next to Lancaster, waiting to begin the bank heist.
