2020-08-02 - When Push Comes to Shove

(TXT to Dante) Cristobal : Where are you.

(TXT to Cristobal) Dante : Home. Dream just spit me out. Got slashed in the arm by the Headless Horseman.

(TXT to Dante) Cristobal : Fuck. Do you need medical care? My place has a med kit. Fuck, Dante. Fuck.

(TXT to Cristobal) Dante : I'm all right, dear. It's a shallow cut. What's wrong?

(TXT to Dante) Cristobal : And you're sure it was just a dream?

(TXT to Dante) Cristobal : Well a Dream, dream.

(TXT to Cristobal) Dante : What do you mean? It had a bloody headless horseman and I was stumbling round the woods with a new arrival to town.

(TXT to Cristobal) Dante : It certainly wasn't a drug trip if that's what you mean.

(TXT to Dante) Cristobal : Alright, alright.

(TXT to Dante) Cristobal : Look. Shit is hitting the fan.

(TXT to Cristobal) Dante : Must be Tuesday in Gray Harbor.

(TXT to Dante) Cristobal : I'm serious Dante.

(TXT to Cristobal) Dante : Sorry. A bit grumpy. Slashed up a new suit.

(TXT to Cristobal) Dante : What's happening?

(TXT to Dante) Cristobal : You're about to get more grumpy.

(TXT to Cristobal) Dante : Is this something you should be talking to me about in person?

(TXT to Dante) Cristobal : I can't. You need to stay away.

(TXT to Cristobal) Dante : Bullshit

(TXT to Dante) Cristobal : Don't. Fight me on this. You won't like the results.

(TXT to Cristobal) Dante : If this is about crime, you do realize that I'm a target not because of you but because of the bloody casino?

(TXT to Cristobal) Dante : You staying away from me is not protecting me. It's abandoning me.

(TXT to Dante) Cristobal : And I need you to check on Sparrow. Will you do that for me?

(TXT to Cristobal) Dante : If you're going to abandon me you have to do it to my face

(TXT to Cristobal) Dante : I am so fucking tired of being dumped by text.

(TXT to Dante) Cristobal : GDI I'm not dumping you.

(TXT to Dante) Cristobal : I can't.

(TXT to Dante) Cristobal : I fucking love you, you idiot.

(TXT to Cristobal) Dante : But you're pushing me away.

(TXT to Dante) Cristobal : Temporarily, until I can fix this.

(TXT to Cristobal) Dante : I'm in danger whether you're by my side or not. We both knew that the moment I signed that lease.

(TXT to Dante) Cristobal : I'm doing the only thing I know how to do.

(TXT to Cristobal) Dante : Compartmentalize. Cris, you do realize I'm going to feel a lot more bloody afraid going about my day without you nearby, yes? I don't have anyone protecting me. The casino could find someone else to take over the restaurant if something happened to me.

(TXT to Cristobal) Dante : I'm not valuable to anyone but you.

(TXT to Cristobal) Dante : You see it as moving the heat away from me. But if you leave me, the heat is still there. I'm just left to fend for myself.

(TXT to Dante) Cristobal : mi tesoro más preciado

(TXT to Cristobal) Dante : Don't abandon me. I need you. I don't know how to navigate this world, and I'm in it. And if you back away, then I'm all alone.

(TXT to Dante) Cristobal : 13 Elm Street. Park around the block and walk.

(TXT to Cristobal) Dante : I'm coming.
