McKenna pretended that she was okay and Diego and Allison pretended not to know how she was feeling. Diego had a lead, a good one, she would admit. The three of them left the academy. Almost immediately, he turned them in the different direction. "Nope, come on, this way." He directed, taking Allison's arm with his good one.
McKenna furrowed her brows. "What?"
"Wait, but the car is back this way." Allison stated.
"Trust me, okay? Come on."
"Whenever you say trust me, something bad happens. What did you do?" She said suspiciously and followed him.
"Why do you always assume I did something?" Diego questioned. When he earned a blank stare, he sighed. "They're after me." He told them, clarifying that the cars following them were police officers.
McKenna's eyes widened. "Seriously?"
"What do they think you did?" Allison asked him, very confused.
The sirens went off. "Murder."
Both of them nearly choked. "What?" McKenna exclaimed while Allison said, "did you?" and she grabbed his arm.
"No, no, no, of course not!" Diego immediately denied. "Why would you ask that about me, anyway?"
McKenna immediately knew that they were after him because of Eudora. "They think you killed her?" She asked aloud, causing Allison's eyes to widen.
"You know about this?"
Diego ignored her question. "We're gonna have to split, okay? I'm in charge. Vanya needs you." He said to Allison. "Mac, I want you to go with her."
McKenna stopped in her tracks. "What? No."
He rolled his eyes. "You're not in a position to argue right now."
"I'm not leaving you. They're going to arrest you." She spoke quickly.
"I know that, okay? I don't want you around when they do." He said protectively.
