Leo Sullivan
Leo had opened up with his mouth to say something else when Conor walked in, putting a stop to it. Things had still been weird between the two of them and Leo had planned to talk to him about it. However, hearing about what happened between Michelle and Ali he figured it could wait - it would have to. His father informed them they were going on a job - something Leo was particularly surprised about. He hadn't been expecting Conor to include him but he wasted no time in nodding his head in understanding. Hearing Thomas joke about getting paid though he was off, Leo couldn't help but let out a slight chuckle before letting out a quip of his own. "Do... I get paid for this or...?"
The three of them arrived at their location and both Thomas and Leo turned to Conor, waiting for his instructions. Leo followed his father's gaze towards where Phelan and his accomplice stood talking, clearly up to no good. He couldn't help but wonder if he were to take over one day if this was what he had to deal with - morons in his family's turf when they shouldn't be. Conor didn't sound too happy about it either and told them they would take Phelan to his older brothers. "I'm guessing he gets in trouble a lot, then?" Leo stated, climbing out of the car beside Thomas. While walking up to the pair, the one Leo presumed to be Phelan immediately took off down the street in a sprint. The moment Conor instructed the two of them to chase after him and bring him back, Leo took off after him. The man hadn't exactly been a fast runner - strength was more his thing. But he was determined not to let Phelan get away from them.

Darcey Winona Hargraves
Bruce reached for her hand and she happily accepted it - a small smile on her face. "That's alright, my love, you know I love your presence more than anything." Hearing that he'd been thinking about Dublin at the moment she nodded her head. "I know. But they'll be okay. They're out watching each other's backs and will come home in one piece," she reassured. She leaned forward to try and catch his eye, sending him a smile. Sitting back in her seat she glanced around the bar and as if knowing she was looking for her, the barmaid approached their table with her drink. Just as she walked away Christian appeared and the three of them moved to the back office. Darcey would be lying if she said she wasn't curious about what the man had in the folder, but she'd have to try and be patient. Darcey sat on the corner of Bruce's desk, her body angled so she'd be able to pay attention to Christian as he gave his report.
Christian informed them of the man's seemingly new life and occupation as the owner of a car dealership. Darcey couldn't help but chuckle at the thought and shook her head, allowing Christian to continue without interrupting. There had apparently been a conversation pertaining to Trevor being hit with a car by a drunk driver. "Shame. Should've finished the job," she muttered under her breath. Bruce asked how it would've even been possible for the man to purchase a dealership, with Christian responding in kind. Darcey didn't believe for a second the man hadn't done something shady to be able to purchase such a business. As someone in the car world herself, she couldn't help but wonder if she'd be able to help Christian - if he needed help, of course - figure that out. For now, she listened as he explained Trevor's past to him.
Darcey was curious as to why the man had been going into such detail when it came to Trevor and it wasn't until he revealed the reason that she slowly rose to her feet. She stared down at the picture of Trevor. Looking at it and thinking back to May she tried to see if she could see any resemblance - she couldn't. Maybe if she saw them side by side, perhaps, but she figured the girl was lucky not to look anything like him. Darcey then started chewing on the tip of her thumb as her mind raced. Ever since May came into her life she'd been trying to protect her from whatever consequences her birth would bring. Finding out she was a Sullivan was one thing - this was another entirely. Hearing Bruce's comment about the information changing things, she let out a brief scoff. "You think? He may not have stuck around, but the man technically went and started another family. At least that's how they may see it," she started, rubbing her temples. "I know we can't just bury it, but do you know how many more issues this is goin' to cause?"
"The kids already hate Trevor and want nothing to do with 'im; what are the chances they'll want somethin' to do with her?" Groaning at the thought of it, Darcey started to pace the floor in thought. "Well, now we know the real reason Alex hates her - you saw the way he acted when Laura brought home Harper," she joked, trying to lighten things up - though it was quickly ruined the moment Bruce asked her about May. For weeks now the young woman'd been working for her and Darcey had given her tips and advice. Darcey was trying to tame the wild woman with her teachings and Darcey had seen her as something of a daughter; something she had never gotten the opportunity to have. "Jesus, Bruce, what would you have me do? Turn her away because of this?" She shooked her head, sucking in air through her teeth. "She can't help who she was born to the same way the kids can't help that Trevor is their father either." It'd been an argument she'd remained firm on ever since they found out May was a Sullivan. Now that they found out she was related to them as well, she'd have to keep it up. "Truly what I want doesn't matter, though, does it?" She asked Bruce seriously. "What do you want?"
She then turned her attention to Christian, a tense and already exhausted look on her face. "Does he have other children? Her brother... Tim? No, Tom. Is he a Trevor spawn as well? Does he have any more mysterious seed hanging around somewhere? I'd like to know who to keep an eye out for so we don't run into this issue again."

Billy responded to Alex in confidence, surprised to hear that the man had steeled his own resolve just as everyone else had. He hadn't exactly been trying to change his mind but his response gave him confidence that if he was, it wouldn't be changed so easily. He made it clear he was doing this job for more than just a few people and Alex nodded his head in understanding. "Then I'll shut up, yeah?" He muttered, a small smile on his face. When it was time to get to work, however, it quickly disappeared and Alex climbed out of the vehicle. ~Dublin City Center, Ireland~

The three of them had waited until it was clear the fight was going on to make themselves known. The moment he laid eyes on Conor he could fill the rage boiling up inside him. Everything he'd done to cause this - butt into his business with Sav, attack his brother, blowing up the nightclub sending his sister to the ER, and even try to keep his son from him - played in his head on loop. Conor Sullivan had been a bastard from day one and today was the day he paid for it. Today was the day he got what he deserved and nothing - like the size of Conor or how strong he appeared to be - was going to get in his way. Not even the itching in his hand that desired to just stab him immediately and get this over with. They had a plan - a meticulous one at that - and he needed to follow it to a 'T'. So even though Spencer was on the ground spitting up blood and in pain, he needed to follow the plan.
"Lot 'o big talk for someone about to taste concrete," he goaded, watching as Spencer took the pipe planted earlier to the back of the man's knees. To say seeing Conor in pain didn't do anything for him was a lie as he was enjoying seeing the man on the other end of things. This portion, he thought, was payback for beating up Spencer all those months ago. Every strike and blow dealt was well deserved by his older brother and Alex had again gotten that itchy feeling in his hand. The two men then wrestled for the pipe on the ground and Alex launched himself forward to try and help Spencer - using whatever force he could muster to kick his boot into Conor's jaw to prevent him from winning. He was hoping that the pain would cause him to recoil and allow his brother to gain the upper hand.
When he looked to find Jeremy and Billy, his eyes caught sight of the latter with his knife in his hand. Everything that followed happened quicker than he could process before he watched the stranger fall to his knees in a heap. "Bill!" Alex shouted, looking from Spencer to Billy. He watched as the younger man then ran back over informing them they were out of time, hearing the trembling in his voice. For a brief moment, Alex worried that the whole thing had been for nothing until his eyes laid on a gun that was sitting a few feet away from them. Alex scrambled up to get to it and once he had it in his hand he stood up and pointed it at Conor. "Enough!" He growled, staring down at the man. "You're getting into the fucking van and you're gonna play nice, you piece of shit, or I'll lay you out right here in this alley." He stared at Conor with a burning fury in his eyes, hand gripping the holster of the gun tightly. He wasn't aware there were no bullets in the gun, but he did know he wasn't about to shoot him right here. Really he was hoping that he'd comply without any further issues.
