A loud knock startles Jo and Nadia awake before another loud knock fills their ears

"What time is it?" Nadia asks as Jo grabs her phone from the nightstand only to see it's 1:34 AM

"Go back to sleep. I got it." Jo says before pecking Nadia's temple and climbing out of the bed

Jo walks over to her closet and quickly unlocks her gun safe before pulling her Glock out and walking over to her bedroom door before grabbing her robe that's hung on a hook on the door. She pulls the door open as she pulls her robe on

Jo ties her robe as she reaches the front door before she peers into the peephole only to see Justin standing at her door, looking around to make sure no one followed him

"Jesus." Jo mutters as she sets her gun down on the table by the door and behind the couch before she unlocks and opens the door

"J?" Jo asks before he quickly steps into her apartment as he breathes heavily

"J, are you okay?" Jo asks him as she closes her front door closed

"Um..." Justin says trailing off as he continues to breathe heavily

"What's wrong, J? Talk to me." Jo says

"I just, um...I just, um...I didn't wanna to do it, ya know? I just-- I had to." Justin says before holding his blood covered hands out to her

"Oh, my god." Jo mutters

"Justin, what the hell happened? Tell me what happened." Jo says as she quickly pulls him into her kitchen

"J, tell me what happend." Jo says as she pulls him over to the kitchen sink

"What're you doing?" Justin asks her as she turns the water on

"We're destroying forensic evidence." Jo says as she grabs his hands and holds them under the water

"What happened, J?" Jo asks as she grabs the soap before pouring some onto his hands

"Rub 'em together." Jo says before helping him rub his hands together

"It was-- It was something stupid. I just got into a fight
outside of Mclntyre's--" Justin starts

"Justin, stop. Don't lie to me. I cannot help you if you don't tell me the truth. Like dad always says, tell me the truth so I can lie for you. Okay? Tell me the truth, J." Jo says before shutting the water off

"He's dead, Jo." Justin mutters so soft it's barely audible

"Who's dead, J?" Jo asks as she grabs a trash bag from the cabinet under the sink

"What's that for?" Justin asks her

"We gotta get rid of your clothes." Jo says as she shakes the trash bag open
