Chapter 367: Nothing
Before revealing the fact that both he and Emily were still alive, not only to the world, but to his uncle as well. Derek had taken the time to think on how the whole scenario would play out once the fact that they were not dead was exposed.
In his thoughts, he had imagined things going either one of two ways. The first one, his uncle taking one look at them and trying to run, throwing people and things in their path in an effort to block them as he made his escape. The second way Derek had imagined the man reacting, was for him to immediately start fighting, hurling insults and silverware as he was prone to do whenever he was having a tantrum.
Never in a million years could Derek have predicted his uncle’s actual reaction though. Sebastian Haven had done nothing, absolutely nothing, as he had been handcuffed and taken away by the police.
There had been this emptiness, this lack of emotion in him.
Derek was of the belief that when people were cornered, their backs against the wall, and it was either fight or flee, that was when their true character shone through. Some proved themselves to be liars, others came out swinging, going down making sure to take as many people with them as they could.
While others showed that they were cowards trying their best to hide and avoid the situation. But his uncle, when push had come to shove, had shown exactly what he was.
Sebastian Haven was nothing.
At the end of the day he was just an old man.
An old man who had killed his own brother and a man that he barely knew. A man who had attempted to kill his nephew.
