"Do...do you know of the Vanderbilts?" Did you know that you just scolded the heir of one of the most powerful families in the country? This is the true question, the one that Scar dares not to ask. Scar glances in Silco's direction, a shade of nervousness in her voice that she didn't even notice herself.

They picked up Lilith before calling it a day. Silco played with Alice the whole ride to Lilith's place. Didn't want to talk about Damian in front of Lilith or Alice, Scar just remained silent as guilt eats her up.

Her deal with Silco is about the Fullers. Silco needs it exactly because he didn't want a stain on his name, so she doesn't imagine he would be too happy to get on the wrong side of a Vanderbilt. Silco looks over, his deep eyes lingering before he nods simply: "Yes, I do."

Scar swallows unconsciously.

Should she tell him who Damian was? He stood up for her. It would be horrible of her to keep Damian's identity from him, especially if Damian causes trouble for him because of this.

But what if he backs out of their deal because of this? She can't fight the Fullers, Sebastian AND Damian altogether on her own.

Silco tilts his head and looks at her with a calm face, as if waiting for her next words, but with very limited interest.
