"For fuck's sake" - Lucas and Jesy say at the same time as Perrie finishes explaining what happened after the funeral. 

"What are we gonna do?" - Perrie looks at them. 

"You should have punched that bitch in the face" - Jesy says. 

"I wanted to, but I can't do it in front of Alex and everyone else" - she sighs. "She acted so innocent when Alex was around her"

"Snake" - the brunette rolls her eyes. 

"We still don't know what to do with Mary" - Lucas mumbles. "But we can't just end it like that, we need a smart, detailed plan. We need to be as innocent as possible about this" 

"So I'm gonna have to kill her as well?" - Perrie exclaims. "I can't do it, not again. I'm not a serial killer"

"Calm down babe" - Jesy puts her hand on her shoulder. "You won't have to kill anyone, right?" - she looks at her boyfriend. 

"I hope not" 

Ever since Mark's death, Ms Williams was nowhere to be found. She'd left the hotel she was staying in immediately, probably not wanting to draw any attention to herself. The plan she and Mark had obviously failed, but she was lucky enough to get paid for her part of the job before her partner died. She doesn't care about Alex and Perrie's relationship enough to finish Mark's job. If anyone finds out that she's a drug dealer, she'd be in deep shit. 

Lucas has the proof he needs to make sure she stays behind bars for a long time, but he's just waiting for the right moment and Perrie's approval to hand it to the police. After that, they won't need to worry about her anymore, as long as someone else just pops up in their lives and tries to do something to them. 

"Are a few days gonna be enough?" - Perrie looks at Lucas. "I'll see what I can find about Mia, she has to have a weakness we can blackmail her with" 

"Yes, hopefully" 

"Ooh Ms Edwards is becoming a bad girl" - Jesy nudges her with her elbow. 

"I wish I wasn't.." 

She wishes she could live without having to worry about someone harming her. She wants a peaceful life. But she's already accepted the fact that it won't happen anytime soon. She'll have to struggle for a long time, mostly to protect Alex and herself from psychopaths. 

"Right.. I'll go home now.. Alex is coming over tonight" - Perrie says as she stands up and kisses Jesy's cheek. 

"Have fun babe" - Jesy says, winking. "And try not to think about this crap, enjoy the night" 

"I will" - she smiles and picks up her coat. "Bye bye" 

"Byee"

"Hi baby" - Alex says, pecking Perrie's lips softly. 

"Hey.." - she smiles. "Come in"

"How are you? Are you feeling better?" - he asks as he walks inside, and that reminds Perrie that she pretended to be sick a few days ago. 

"Yeah, I'm much better.. You?" 

"I'm just a little tired" - he takes off his jacket and throws it on the couch.

"You had training today?" - Perrie sits down next to him.

"No, I skipped it today. I had a long meeting with my dad's lawyer, you know, about the will.." - Alex sighs.

"Was there a problem?" 

"If you count my aunt's attitude as one, then yeah. She was annoyed that everything my dad owned is yours now" - he says.
