Romano was sitting outside the door of Antonio's bosses office. The little boy was whimper with tears down his face, something he normally didn't do. Yet how could the little boy not be sad and scared when Antonio was being beaten? The boss had even locked the door and put something in front of the door so the young Italian couldn't get in to stop him. He flinched with every scream he heard his parde give out, whimpering more and more. Yet the beating just didn't stop. 

Romano cried when he felt a pair of hands wrap around him, yet sighed in relief when he was it was just Belle. She picked the Italian up, looking at Tim who was standing next to her. 

"Romano? What are you doing here?" she asked, looking around. "And where is Toni?" 

"H-he's in th-there!" Romano whined, pointing to the door. Almost has if on signal, a scream came from behind the door and a long stream of curse words in Spanish. 

"Belle, take him home," Tim said. "I'll get Antonio." 

Belle nods and walked to Antonio's home. She didn't bother to knock and let Victor know she was there since she wanted to calm Romano down. Yet no matter what she did, and with has much help from Victor she could get, the little Italian wouldn't calm down. He ran to the window and looked out it, sniffing when he saw nothing. He was clearly worried about his parde, seeming to think he would appear out of thin air. 

"Parde!" Romano said happily when Tim helped the Spanish man in. 

Antonio looked up, showing that he had a bloody nose, a black eye, and bruises all over his face. He had cuts on his arms and he looked like he had been hit by a car. He groaned when Tim walked forward with him, making him lay on the couch. Romano sat next to him, careful not to touch him since the boy was afraid he'd hurt him if he touched him. 

"I-I'm fine Roma," Antonio smiled, showing one of his teeth was missing. 

"Are not!" Romano snapped, starting to take care of him. "Stupid jackass, I was worried about you!" 

"You were?" 

"Si! I thought you were going to die!" Romano said, sniffing a little. "I didn't want you to die... don't die Parde," he mumbled, hugging Antonio's arm tightly. 

"I won't Romano," Antonio said, smiling a little. He liked seeing that his son cared every once in a while. Even if he had to get beat up to see it.
