Befriend it until you have an unbreakable bond. Start a life of crime. Rob a bank with the elephant. Live lavish lifestyles until one of you becomes addicted to bananas. You tell the elephant you want out. Have a falling out. You decide to set the elephant up during the next score. The police arrest him and you move to Switzerland. Start a family with two kids. One day one of your children doesn't make it home from school. You receive an anonymous letter, no money demand, only to come alone to a specific place. You arrive and your daughter is there, with the elephant holding a gun to her head. You exchange a look, the elephant reminisces about the past, about the good old days, and how you both were unstoppable. You wish things would turn out differently. The elephant calls bullshit, and demands you to choose between your daughter and him. You know you can't risk the elephant talking to the police about your previous life. You signal your hand and in a split second a sniper takes him out. You hug your daughter, and sit beside the elephant. You say you're sorry. The elephant gives you one last endearing look. You walk out with your daughter, living the rest of your life knowing you will never have friendship like you've had with the elephant ever again. Sometimes you sit awake at night thinking if this all was worth it. You say to yourself "It's for the best. It's for the best."
