Billy waited while Mike was silent. Watching the junkie, silent and stern, with a raised eyebrow. Waiting to see if Mike would actually say it. That one word that made him fight so very hard.
The most satisfied smirk stretched over Billy's lips, growing slowly as Mike spoke. He wasn't just breaking. He was falling apart at the seams. Desperate and frantic, still trying to hold himself together. Just enough to try and side step that word.
He let go of Mike's chin so he could open the bottle and shake out a few pills into his hand. The bottle was set aside and he turned his attention back to his very special pet. "And just what do we call that, Mikey?" His smile twisted, condescending as ever. "Answer correctly and you get not on the two I promised..." he held up the two white pills between thumb and forefinger, "but a third as a bonus." The third he held up with the other hand. All right in front of Mike's face. "Answer wrong and the number drops to zero."
