A crowd of people had formed in nearby ships looking over at the Twins' house, which was blocked off by Police. 

Leo and his Mom Adriana were standing in the crowd wondering what was happening.

And then suddenly, one of the Policemen came over and told the crowd to leave. 

The Policeman told them that Rafael and Julieta had died along with 2 Policemen. 

Adriana fainted and fell down unconscious upon hearing the news. 

Leo began to freak out and then 2 paramedics helped take Adriana to a hospital.

Ana and Alex climbed up the ladder on the side of the ship and got back onto the deck. 

They looked over the deck and saw that all the blood had been washed away with water like it never happened. 

Kate was sitting on the bench and stood up as she saw them walking over. 

Kate walked over to them and they all walked over to the house with the other men. 

The Policemen opened the front door of the house and they all went inside.

The inside of the house was completely empty. 

The only things left inside were the breakfast table and chairs. 

They saw Captain Mason sitting at the table facing them. 

He was looking at a piece of paper and then handed it to one of his men. 

The Man walked outside and Mason looked at Ana and Alex. 

Mason opened his hand gesturing at the two chairs by the table in front of them and said—

—"Have a seat."

Ana and Alex sat down in the chairs. 

Ana sat in the chair that was to the right of Alex. 

Kate stood by the door beside some of Mason's men. 

Mason looked over at the Man standing by the door and said—

—"Bring it over here."

The Man went out of the house and came back with a briefcase. 

He handed the briefcase to Mason and walked back to the door. 

Ana looked at the briefcase and realized that it was the same one that their Dad put under the floorboard. 

Mason put the briefcase on the table and tapped on it with his fingertips, thinking about where he should start. 

Mason sighed and said—

—"I know this probably won't mean much to you, but just know, that what happened to your parents, was not what was supposed to happen."

Alex looked at him getting impatient and angry.
