JOHN B ROUTLEDGE

"We're going to need a statement from you"

I looked down at the file in my lap, frowning at the contents.

"The charges have been dropped"

I thanked any higher power in that moment,

"We're going to need you to tell us everything you know about Rafe and Ward Cameron" he explained

"Rafe and Ward?"

They finally believed me.


DAISY DAWSON

The vibrating of my phone beside me stirred me from my sleep, I groaned rolling over to an empty bed, I scrambled my hand around the bed with my eyes still shut to find my phone, answering it without looking,

"Hello?" My voice grogged.

"Sorry baby I didn't mean to wake you" he spoke softly but slurred.

"Where are you?" I groaned.

"Couldn't sleep last night, went to Barry's after you drifted off" he explained.

I hummed in response,

"Um Dais...you need to come over here"

I shot up straight in bed,

"What's happened"

"My dad, he texted me, the cops went to Tannyhill"

My chest tightened, they were onto him.

"I'm on my way"


LEONARDO DAWSON

"He's done for" I watched as the cops filled up the cars with bagged belongings.

"Don't say that, it's Ward he'll have someone to help" Blaire said rubbing at my back, always trust my wife to not gauge the severity of a situation.

"We need to keep our heads down, especially because our daughter is involved with this" I sighed, sitting down in my armchair.

"Leo, the police aren't going to take us down just because our daughter is dating that boy" she said, crouching down in front of me.

"Darling, that's not what this is, that boy is the tip of the iceberg" I sighed.

"What are you talking about?" She stood up tall.

I got up, walking past her into the kitchen to get a drink.

"Leo, what are you talking about?" she called out, following after me.

I tipped the glass back, placing it down on the cold marble counter before I told her,

"That plane was carrying a fraction of our fortune, a fortune we need Blaire" I sighed.

"Yes? Well I know that" she frowned.

"The pilot, Gavin, Ward paid him to get rid of the gun Rafe used, but he didn't, he was going to use it against him" I began to explain.

"What did he do?" she spoke sternly,

"He killed him"

Blaire gasped, slouching down on one of the island chairs.

"How does this involve us?" she stared off in-front of her.

"He called me, to help deal with the body" I whispered.

She shot up, storming over to me.

"Leo, tell me you didn't"
