Warren had come looking for Dwight but he wasn t expecting to find him with Halsey When he saw her his eyes went wide in surprise
Halsey quickly pulled away from Dwight feeling a bit embarrassed She smiled at Warren and introduced herself Hi I m Halsey
Warren grinned Hi nice to meet you I m Warren Dwight you got a girlfriend
Dwight shook his head She s not my girlfriend
Iam Halsey said smiling brightly
Dwight gave her a look of disbelief

Dwight set the spatula down and looked at Warren Let stalk outside
They stepped out into the yard and Dwight said Alright enough with the small talk What did you come here for
Warren s face grew serious You told me to keep an eye on Phantom he s here
Phantom was the notorious drug lord from years ago Dwight s father had worked as an undercover agent in his gang but eventually he was caught and killed by the drug lord
Dwight had been searching for this man ever since and now Phantom had resurfaced
A cold wind blew through making Dwight s thin black T shirt flap against his body His eyes hardened with frost Got it

Warren stopped him Your girlfriend s really pretty
Dwight pursed his lips She s not my girlfriend
Are you serious Warren raised an eyebrow looking at Dwight We ve known each other forever If you didn t like her you wouldn t have let herget this close The only reason you d let someone in that close is because you like them
Dwight didn t respond immediately his silence hanging in the air After a few seconds he finally spoke I can t offer her a future so there s no point in starting anything She s from a good family
Warren chuckled Good family pretty sweet and clingy Are you sure you re not into her Honestly you don t have to be so hard on yourself I can tell that girl s crazy about you
Dwight s expression remained neutral Go home
He then went back inside
Halsey came out and asked Did Warren leave
Dwight nodded Yeah he s gone
Tina who had been quietly watching said Everytime Warren comes over he brings something but never stays
