Brian & Scout
Brian was stewing in his own rage. He sat at his desk in his little office, fists clenched in a ball together, the veins pulsing out of the side of his thick muscled neck. Nobody would have the balls to disturb him at present. If anything was certain in this life, it was that anyone who crossed paths with a pissed off Brian Jagielski wound up receiving the beating of a life time.
Scout slipped from her car and walked quickly into the small makeshift office in one of the warehouses, her eyes pealed for Brian in hopes of seeing what she could do to help.

He was in and out of drugs so often that to depend on him was a risk, and one that Brian was now left holding the bag because of. She walked across the room and placed a hand on his thick shoulder, squeezing slightly.
