"He won't be." Leonard pulled away from Mick to start walking, checking his watch. He made sure that Mick walked with him, really wanting to be alone with him as soon as he possibly could. "We're gonna go to my car. I gotta go inside, check on Lis and Lewis, get the keys to the safe house and we're off. I wanna stay with you tonight, okay? I just gotta leave before nine, I have to take care of Lis."
"Go home, just drop me off and I'll sleep. I won't do nothing. You gotta be there for Lisa, you can't leave a kid that age home alone and you can't leave them with a bastard like that." Lisa needed her big brother, Mick just needed to clear his head and relax. He needed to get some sleep in and pray that everything worked out. He approached the car slowly, keeping in step with Leonard. "Gotta keep my little princess safe, she matters the most."
"...please, let me be with you." Leonard was, as often, as always, between a rock and hard place, but he could figure this out. He always did. He wasn't leaving Mick alone before he had to. "Wait right here, yeah?"
That said he headed into the house, returning just a few minutes later with a bag of food and the keys in his pocket. He got into the driver's seat and waited for Mick to get in on the other side, handing him the bag.
