Amanda opened the door to the balcony, voices hit her ear and making her drop to her knees out of fear. She crawled across the floor, keeping out of view of the railing bars. Hugo fallowed her, crouching at the door then crawling the same path she did, slowly so as not to make any noises. Jessica crouched down and fallowed, crawling to a table and hiding on the floor with the two. Amanda stretched her arms out and pulled herself closer to the bars, taking a look below.

She saw Martin holding a gun in one hand and a cloth in the other. He pressed the cloth to his bleeding face as he waved the gun at the bar. Amanda looked over at the counter. Seeing Jake, up and pouring a glass of vodka for herself. "Listen" the woman began, sounding as though she was in control as the man threatened her life. "When the cops get wind of this, you are gonna take the blame." She said to him, swaying her head. "What, why would I do that" Martin spoke through his damaged mouth. Jake shrugged at him. She picked up the drink and started walking out from behind the bar. "Cause those girls are going to pin this on you" Jake told.

Amanda glanced over at Jessica, a knowing anger on her face as she took in the sight of the actress. Giving no reaction to the idea. Amanda rolled her eyes, figuring Jake was right and Jessica would pin it on him. Amanda lifted herself a little, seeing a new path she hadn't earlier that night. The balcony continued passed the door. Wrapping around the corner and stretching over the bar below. She pushed herself back, trying to get by Hugo. The man looked at her. Stretching out his hand to ask her what she was doing. Amanda tossed his hand away. She climbed over his legs then Jessica's as the two below continued their conversation.

"Pin this on me. Why I didn't do nothin, sept maybe scare some collage kid" Martin reasoned. Jake shook her head at the man. "Doesn't matter. Your girlfriend upstairs, she's gonna pin this on you. I know, I know all about her. Gordon told me. She left you before. She's gonna leave you again." Jake told, sounding unempathetic. "You knew, you knew and you made me watch that tape anyway" Martin yelled, waving the gun at her. Amanda could hear her smirking at the fact. It made her pause where she was now on the other side of the l shaped balcony. Seeing Martins angry face. The hurt behind the blood at the fact.

"She will. Don't trust her. And you will be alone like you always are." Jake walked over to him, ignoring the shake of his arm. She held out the glass of vodka for him. Tilting it to encourage him to take it. "Now you listen to me. I have a lot of cleaning up to do. This is a big time mess. Just go handle stuff and I'll make some calls" Jake ordered in her superior sounding voice. "Right" she nodded at Martin. The man shook his head, he took a step back at the implication.

"Here have a drink" Jake offered him. Tilting the glass back out. Slowly Martin reached for it. His hands shaking as he grabbed it. He stepped back from the woman and took a sip. Keeping his eyes on her as he drank. Amanda continued moving around on the top floor. Crawling to the other side were the Balcony just kept going. Curling around another corner and down the length of the bar. "Don't move" Martin warned Jake. "I'm not gonna move, just stop pointing that thing at me and do what you gotta do" she pressed her order.

Amanda crawled to the end of the balcony. She watched the two as she slowly stood up in the dark. She turned her attention to the end of the railing, spotting a table down below just under the railing. She looked back over at the two discussing murdering more people. Slowly so as not to draw attention to herself she moved her leg over the railing, pushing herself up to sit on it. She held on tight. Preparing herself to climb down.

"I can't do this you know. I can't go up and kill them." Martin told. Amanda watched as Jake moved her head up to the balcony, looking around a little annoyed with the man. Amanda stopped her decent, she held on to the bars and curled up against them. Hoping she didn't see her. It was dark where she was, the lights not surrounding her area like they did the bar. She waited seeing Jake glance down at both their feet. "I mean you brother. Maybe it was an accident. He always had a temper. He was violent. Besides, Jess is a tv star now. If we kill her it'll be all over the news. You don't want that publicity" Martin tried to reason.
