By the time they returned to the mansion the sun was out and Gemma had been fighting sleep the entire car ride. After everything that happened almost felt like she didn't deserve rest, not when half of her security staff was in the hospital.
The moment that they stepped into the house they were practically ambushed by Jenny and the entire Reyes family. The news could be heard on the TV but it was difficult to make out anything that was being said over everyone asking multiple questions at once.
"Callense!" Mrs. Reyes exclaimed, she wasn't necessarily yelling but the tone in her voice was enough to make everyone go silent. "Give them some room."
Everyone listened as they took a couple of steps back, away from Gemma and Jaime who couldn't help but feel a little relieved. As much as she appreciated their concern she had also felt overwhelmed by all of the questions.
"Qué te pasó?" Mrs. Reyes questioned as she looked at Gemma with horror and concern.
Gemma looked down at her blood stained clothes and realized that she probably looked like she had come right from the set of a horror movie. "It's not my blood."
"Come sit down." Nana urged taking her hand and building her down the hall into the living rooms.
But the moment that they were all seated everyone started talking over each other asking questions. Gemma shared a brief glance at Jaime who looked apologetic not at all surprised by how eager his family was to get answers. They were all clearly worried which Gemma understood, but she was also eager to get started on working towards understanding why it had happened.
When everyone slowly ceased asking questions that was when Gemma and Jaime both began filling them into what had happened. They obviously omitted anything having to do with the conversation that they had before the attack, the last thing that they needed was more questions that neither of them had the answers too.
"So what were you two doing out in the middle of the night anyway?" Milagros suddenly asked and Gemma couldn't help but hope that the ground would just open up and swallow her whole. She should have expected Milagros to have asked the question that the others were avoiding, but thankfully before she could even think of coming up with an answer that doorbell rang.
