Eli wasn't moved at all by her tears. "You know, I was told once.... There types of are three types of people in this world. You have sheep, the masses who need someone to protect them. You have the wolves, who your father, pray on the sheep. Then you have a very rare type of person, one who is willing to do a lot of shit to protect the sheep, the sheepdog... I don't know where I fit in, but I think I've done right more than wrong." Eli put his helmet down for a minute and took a seat at the table.
"I'm a horrible person who's going to hell for things he's done. So is your old man, so is Ruby... We are not cursed, we are extraordinary people put in Extraordinary situations. The question isn't are we cursed, its how do we react." Eli cleared his throat and pulled out a piece of beef jerk. As he but into it he went on. "I don't know who my real parents are. The only two people in this world that cared enough to see I made it through was Night and Momma who found me on the side of the road in a basket. So..." Eli paused for a moment swallowing his jerk and getting ready to say something he saved for only the most dire of situations. "The devil takes his horns outs, so stare into his eyes. Can the matador survive? He was born to bleed."
Eli tossed a cell phone on to the table, then got to his feet. "See momma gets that. I doubt I'll live through this." His voice never shook or wavered, if nothing else he told the truth as he knew it. With that said a Eli turned and walked away. He didn't give her a chance to respond. Nothing she could say would matter, if he made out he did, if not then... That's the way things played out.
He didn't say another till he was in his stolen cop car. He pulled out a burner phone from his belongings and dailed a number he was unsure to call. He didn't know if they would be too scared to help, but having someone like him indebt could always prove favorable.
"This is Elijah Craig. Yeah, I'm Baba Yaga. I need back up in L.A. Give this number and have them call me. Money or favor take your pick." The voice on the other end stumbled before acknowledging his words. With that Eli hung up and finished preparing for the upcoming battle.
He didn't know what was gonna happen, he just knew he wasn't coming back here. There a real smile on his face. He even felt a song coming in for the first time in a while.
