"Get off him!" Elliot yelled, making his way to where Griffin and the previously masked man were. Ana curled her hands into fists, wanting to stop Eli but knowing that she couldn't.

Haile sneered, getting up and dusting his coat off. Griffin jumped to his feet, stepping away from him.

Woah…he listened. Eli thought to himself. He grinned, slightly proud of himself. Ana grabbed Eli's arm and pulled him back, shaking her head. "Don't make it worse." She whispered.

Griffin inched around his father to get to Eli and Ana, willing himself not to look at Eleanore’s body.

Ana, who still didn't know what exactly was going on, dragged Eli next to her. "Who are you? What do you want?" She asked, her voice a little louder than normal.

Haile sneered. “Anthony Haile, father of Gwen here.”

Ana backed away slightly. "Father…" She looked at Eli. "If you're Griffin's father, why are you so rude? Don't you love your child?" It was Elliot's turn to stop Ana. He shook his head at her, mentally saying no.

Haile's expression soured. Stepping closer to Ana, eyes threatening, he said in a low whisper: "Didn't your mother ever teach you to mind your own business, little girl?"

"Yes, she did." Ana stepped forward as well. "She also taught me to stand up for others and to be kind and understanding."

Eli began to panic. Ana….please back away… He thought silently.

Griffin pulled Ana back gently, stepping in between them protectively. Ana was like his sister, he would never let her get hurt.

Ana pushed Griffin away, maybe a little too hard. Eli whispered into his ear. "Don't mess with her when she's mad." Ana pointed a finger at Griffin's dad. "And if you don't love your child, that's your problem. But that does NOT give you the right to hurt or threaten them."

(Yay Ana! We love you!!)

Haile took an invountary step back, taken by surprise. His eyes darkened quickly though, and he stepped forward, raising a hand to slap her across the face. "Be very careful about what you do next.", he hissed, but Griffin stepped forward, shoving him back. "That's enough, Anthony."

Ana rubbed her cheek, which stung. Eli walked up to her and smiled, patting her on the shoulder. "You've done enough. Take a break." She nodded, staying still but relaxing slightly.

Cold rage and fury flowed through Griffin as he took another step closer to his father. "Anthony now, eh? Not father? Not dad? A little hard on your old man, no?" Griffin clenched his teeth. "The next time you hurt anyone I break your neck.", he threatened, dead serious. "And you're not my father."

Haile's snapped to his son. "I'm afraid I am. Has this god-forsaken place befuddled your brain?"

Elliot stepped up, standing behind Griffin but in front of Anastasia. He watched the conversation carefully, prepared to jump in at any moment.

Ana rubbed her cheek, which stung. Eli walked up to her and smiled, patting her on the shoulder. "You've done enough. Take a break." She nodded, staying still but relaxing slightly.

(TAKE A BREAK)

(LET'S GO UPSTATE)

Griffin clenched his fists, looking away.

(ELIZA, I'VE GOT SO MUCH ON MY PLATE)
Leo approached the scene and stood by Ana and Eli's side. "What's happening?"

"Ana was super epic, and now Griffin's having a fight with his dad." Eli whispered to Leo. Ana blushed at the first comment, her face already red from where Griffin's father had slapped her.

Haile took a step closer, and Griffin raised his hands to shove him away again, but the man caught them, stepping closer again.

Eli turned his attention back to the argument, stepping forward some and clenching his fists.

Leo nodded and fixed his gaze on Haile's twisted face.

"Get off." Eli growled, stepping forward again.
