It was the next day, Valerie panicked and went home to change without anyone noticing she was there then headed back. Valerie and Stanley had agreed to clean. They heard whistling coming up to them.

"Stan" A man said

It was Diego, Stan's dad. At least that's what she was told. The two didn't stop until they reached a turn.

"What is all this? Acid?" He asked

"Well um, you told me to clean up my own mess" Stan replied

Valerie stayed quiet

"I just have to thank you for teaching me such a valuable lesson in personal responsibility" Stan said

"Yeah I'm not buying that, what's going on and why are you with the girl?" Diego questioned

Stan and Valerie got nervous. Diego grabbed Stan's hand. Valerie wasn't liked by the family so she remained quiet.

"You got blood on you, come on. Talk to me, hey I'm you're dad" Diego said

"Um, okay but you gotta promise you won't be pissed" Stan said

They took him to the room where Klaus was dead. He closed his eyes.

"What did you do?" Diego asked

He turned around to Valerie

"Did you do this? As a revenge?" Diego asked

"No, he was nice to me and I may be a sparrow but I would never do such a thing" Valerie promised

Diego grabbed both kids by the collar.

"Do not lie to me, this is my brother. Tell me what you did" Diego said

"We were just messing around" Stan said

"I was looking for a sketchbook" Valerie told

"And it was fine, until the gun went off" Stan added

"And you two were gonna dissolve the body?!" Diego yelled

"We didn't know what else to do, okay?! You were gonna hate us! And we'd have to go to prison! Joining a gang for protection and end up in the hole!" Stan cried

Valerie started crying because she had a soft spot for kids crying.

"I don't hate you, I just can't believe it okay?" He assured

He turned to Valerie

"I'll talk to you later" He said

The girl nodded at him. Valerie stepped aside so he could comfort his son. Valerie helped the two roll the carpet with the body. She let herself get lost in her own thoughts when she was snapped back into reality.

"Hey, whatever happens. I got your backs" Diego assured

The body was about to fall but Diego held it up

"Tú ya eres mi sangre" Diego said

"I still don't speak Spanish" Stan said

"He said you're his blood now" Valerie translated

He threw something at Stan.
