Hana walks into Tina's office and sits on the window sill, making Tina look up. "Hey, Hana. Wanna sit down here?" she gestures to the couch.

Hana just shook her head in response, "Have you ever been to Rome?"

"Yes," Tina nods, "What's up? Does this have anything to do with the Wilders' sudden decision to move to Rome?"

Bang! Hana stood up, "What the hell?"

Tina jumps up and quickly shuts the door.

Hana turns to see a helicopter outside the window. "Mom?" Hana's voice quivered.

"It's okay." Tina embraced her daughter, "Everything will be fine."

"What's going on?" Hana questions.

The door beeps, signaling someone had entered the code and was now about to come in; Tina held her daughter tighter as fear settled. Robert runs in and shuts the door once more. "You two okay?" he asked, trying to catch his breath.

Tina hugs him, "Are you?"

Robert sighs, "Yeah."

Hana repeats, "What's going on?"

"Tamar." Robert replied, "She has it in her head that you were the reason why the Wilders took Darius and went to Europe."

Tina was shocked, "Tamar's here?!"

Hana shuts her eyes, "Is Guita here?"

"Why would Sampaguita…"

"Yes," Robert nods, "she was with Tamar."

Tina looks to Hana for answers as Hana slowly breaths, "Guita is Tamar's lawyer; it was her idea to take Darius and leave the country."

"What?!" Tina demanded, "Why?!"

"Darius did not want to see Tamar," Hana replied, "and Tamar was persistent; Guita didn't want to force Darius into something that is bound to cause discomfort."

"Where is she?!" Tamar demanded from outside, "If Hana doesn't show her face in the next five seconds Attorney Minoli will get her brains blown up."

"She has a gun?" Tina asked.

Hana walks past her parents; Robert stops her from walking out the door and sighs, "You can't go out there; she'll kill you."

Hana looks at her father's face, "Run like hell, don't turn around and tell Andre I'm sorry." as she walks out the door.

Tina was in tears; she could not believe how brave Hana was. Stupid but brave.

Hana stood right outside the door, "Tamar! I'm here; leave Guita alone." Tamar laughs; she pushes Guita away. "You were the reason why I was imprisoned, taken away from my son; now, he is on a different continent. All because of you. What did I ever do to you to torture me like this?!"

Hana looks directly at Tamar's eyes, "I didn't do anything; you orchestrated a hit on Catherine Wilder for retaliation; I didn't do that. I wasn't the one who married Geoffrey just to torture Alex for his mother's actions; that was you."

"Every one of you forgave your parents; why can't Xerxes do the same?"

"They owned up to their mistakes." Hana glares, "You haven't; you still blame everyone but you. Plus, Darius is not me; I do not control his thoughts or anyone else's. I cannot force him to forgive you; neither can Guita. No one can. He changed his name and begged Geoffrey and Catherine to move across ocean because he didn't want to see you. And nothing I nor anyone else can do anything about it."

Tamar raged on, "You and your family took everything from me!" Then Bang! Tamar falls forward.

Nana B. stood in the center of the office with a gun pointed at Tamar. The elderly lady fell forward, dropping the gun in front of her.

Guita kicks the gun away and runs to help Hana, "That was incredibly idiotic."

"I was never good under pressure." Hana laughs.

"You are the only person," Guita hugs, "I know that runs into danger, not away."

When they got out of the building, Amy and Nico immediately ran to hug Hana. "Thank God you're okay." Nico breathed.

Both Tina and Robert looked at their younger daughters weirdly, "We're okay too." Tina said with a hint of jealousy.

Amy awkwardly laughs as she looks at her parents, "Well, of course, you are."

Nico then claims, "But you're not the one who ran into danger and tried to calm a gun-carrying crazy Tamar down; Hana was."
