Margeux can't decide whether she's a sociopath, or a psychopath. Continuous events tend to sway her either way. Out of all the people she could...

SHE'S STANDING THERE safe, healing my beating heart - but then so is he, Reign, a childhood friend I thought i lost at least a million times, finally here and looking somewhat calm.
Elliot doesn't say anything in relation to seeing Reign in the McDonald's parking lot, but I can tell he's also relieved. Elliot and Reign will never have the friendship they had when we were all younger. But they'll always hold a piece of that worry for each other.
Our group has a plethora of emotions circling between us. That doesn't stop me from running forward and pulling Reign and Margeux into a hug. Margeux returns it. And after a moment, so does Reign.
"What are you guys wearing?" Is my first question when I pull out.
"We were in jail." Reign shrugs.
"What?!"
"Yeah, I didn't even leave the country until Margeux was there and then so was my dad and his men." Reign explains shortly.
"Wait, wait, wait..." I shake my head, "So that was Margeux's mission? To locate Reign?"
"To kill him." She corrects.
"Oh." I say dumbfounded.
"And she was going to." Reign adds, eyeing Margeux with small suspicion.
She grins, "You made it up to me."
"Why would your dad....what?" I feel exasperated and short of breath. Confused, definitely. Unsure how to move forward.
"He didn't want me leaving, and I didn't want to stay with a liar." Reign shrugs ,"His solution was to imprison me. And when Margeux picked her side, he put her in as well."
"So how did you escape? How are you even here-"
"Prison escape, clearly." Margeux jokes. We all stare at her in utter shock before she clears her throat, "Yeah...literally."
"My dad sent someone in to kill us. I noticed just in time and there was a shoot out. We ducked under the table quick enough for them all to kill each other." Reign further explains that statement.
"Why would your dad want to kill you?!" I blurt.
"Oh...I mean it's not that big of a-"
"He talked to the FBI." Margeux jabs a thumb at Reign, interrupting him.
He WHAT.
You never talk to the FBI. That's rule number one. ou don't do that. No matter what. It's a suicide mission, it's corrupt, it's petty, it's....
Petty. It's petty. That's why he did it because he's a fucking idiot and he's the pettiest person I know and-
"You fucking idiot." Elliot says my own words out loud.
