"I don't understand, he's just an ordinary rich man, what's so terrible about him?" I ask as the three of us walk out of the Golden Pearl, leaving broken glass doors behind.

Hunter sighs, stops and runs a hand through his hair. He looks nervous, his hair is standing up, but it's strange, he's never nervous. "Look, he might seem like a sweet and nice guy–"

"He's twenty years old, what could he do?" I cut him off.

Yi gives me a look. "You're not even twenty yet, and look how much blood is on your hands."

I raise my eyebrows. "Was that meant to be an insult?"

"Look at it more as a compliment darling." I roll my eyes. Hunter's finger comes up to my chin, turning my head towards him.

"Listen to me, he is a very dangerous man, more dangerous than Kennedy himself." He sighs, adjusts the glove. "If he wants someone dead, he get it." He points his finger at the three of us. "We are just stupid pawns to him. The whole mafia community is just child's play to him and he could get rid of us with a wave of his hand."

I swallow. My heart beats faster as I hug my chest. "How come I've never heard of him? If he's so famous across the country, how come I'm only now hearing about him?"

Hunter shrugs. "I don't know, but trust me, you don't want to mess with those people."

"How is he…how is he even so rich, he's still a kid?"

"His parents died in a car accident three years ago, everything they had, he inherited." Yi replies, crossing his arms.  "As they say, 'With great power comes great responsibility.'"

"You watch too much TV." I add, coaxing a small smile from him. "So, is he the one who killed Eliana?"

"Maybe. The man has the power of the whole world, one maid wouldn't be a problem for him."

"But why?" Everything is clear, Ravi is rich, powerful, successful, but what is the motive? He has nothing to do with me or Hunter's family, and Eliana only comes later in the game. She is nothing to him, we are nothing to him, if he wanted us dead, he would have killed us long ago and wouldn't have wasted his time on Elian.

"We don't know, and the problem is we don't know how to even get to him. The man is untouchable!" Aaron adds in frustration. He pulls his hair and throws his head back. "If we even try to get close to him, that's it, that's our end."

Now I'm frustrated too. We have come so far and now that we are so close we must step away, stop even.

Everything is so screwed up, I don't even know how we're going to get through this.
