What's Gonna Happen

8

Rita had lost track of how long she'd been sat in the car, knowing it had been over night. Her phone was dead and her legs were numb, she was growing insanely tired but too anxious to sleep. When she glanced at the time, she realised it had been 23 hours since Regina left. Rita looked towards the woods, knowing she isn't coming anytime soon. She huffed and started the car up, quickly heading out the forest. That's when she finally noticed Regina had left her bag in the car, all the weapons they'd spot off to get.

"For god sake, Regina" Rita sighed, knowing that was her only help.

With this fear, she began driving faster down the road. Rita headed towards Ben's house, parking poorly outside the front. She ran over to the front door and began beating at it loud and quick. Ben answered with a confused face, taken back by Rita being there.

"Hey, you ok" Ben asked, seeing the panic across her face.

"Never been better. I need Marco" Rita replied in a hurried pace, showing she needed to be quick.

"I heard my name, who needs me" Marco asked, walking towards the door. He saw his aunt and instantly became worried at why she was there. "Rita, is everything ok"

"You gotta come with me, Hun" Rita simply replied, gesturing for him to follow her.

"Ok, let me grab my phone and I'll meet you in the car" Marco said, growing worried at what to expect.

Rita just nodded and ran back to the car, hopping in to start it up. Marco went back to the lounge and grabbed his keys, checking he didn't have anything else. As he turned around, he bumped into his boyfriend.

"Whoa, calm down. Are you going to tell me what's going on" Ben asked, looking concerned at the blonde boy.

"I can't, I'm sorry. I really have to go" Marco quickly replied, walking towards the front door.

"No, hang on. You randomly turned up here yesterday, scared and emotional, and now you're about to run off without an explanation for either" Ben huffed in annoyance, holding his shoulder to stop him.

"I don't have time to explain, my family need me right now" Marco sighed, pulling out the brunettes arms to walk out the door.

"You can't do this, I deserve more than this. The last few days you have barely spoken to me or given me any attention" Ben said with a grumble in his tone, following the man out.

"Don't you dare! I have been going through a lot and you fucking know that! So you know what? We're done, I can't do this with you anymore" Marco snapped, spinning on his heels. Ben's face dropped at the words, not expecting that kind of reaction. "I don't want to do this with you, I can't handle everything on top of you. I have to go"

"You can't just end it like thi-"

"I have to go"

With that said, Marco climbed into the car and slammed the door shut. Rita looked at him a little surprised, unsure where that came from. He just nodded and gestured for her to drive; so she did.

"You want to talk about that little out burst" Rita questioned, knowing that came out of no where.

"He's been acting like this for a few days, not understanding that I have other shit going on" Marco huffed in a mumbled tone, too annoyed to want to answer. Rita reached across and rubbed his shoulder, aware the pair had strong feelings for one another. "Anyway, what's going on"

"We are going to the police" Rita replied, bring her hand back to the steering wheel.

"What? No, we can't. He works, well runs, the FBI and handles any case even familiar to ours. We can't go to them without him finding out and stopping us... Or worse, killing one of them" Marco said fearfully, knowing they always had to avoid the police.

"Yeah but I'm his sister, I can get anything done without him knowing. This is our only chance" Rita simply replied, putting her foot down even harder. Marco looked worried at this, knowing something is destin to go wrong. It wasn't long before they arrived at the police station, both rushing inside as soon as they parked. "I need to talk to the captain"

"Hi, I'm Captain Molly Fox" a woman introduced, walking away from her colleague and over to the pair.

"I'm Rita Mills, I use to go by Rita Dawson. You know my brother, right" Rita asked, testing if the woman is aware of him.

"Of course, Ryan Dawson. How may I help you, Miss Mills" Molly replied, giving a respectful nod as her brother is very high up.

"I need to talk to you about a big crime and he can't know I'm here, he's part of the problem" Rita requested, her face showing this is serious.

"Let's go talk in my office alone" Molly said, hinting for Marco to stay put.

"He comes with me, he's actually more part of it than I am" Rita replied, linking her arm with the young blonde.

"Very well, follow me" Molly instructed, leading the way to her office. Rita and Marco followed in, taking a seat at the same time as the captain. "So, what exactly has happened"

"Go on, Hun, it's your story" Rita encouraged, looking at the young blonde with a reassuring smile.

"Rita, I don't know, I'm scared" Marco replied, remembering the threat Ryan made about going to the police.

"She's not going to tell him, we can save them" Rita softly said, holding the blondes hand to help keep him calm.

"Is someone in danger? If there is, we need to know so we can help them asap" Molly quickly said, growing concerned at the boys actions.

"My mums, they need help"
