AS SOON AS AMELIA shut the door of Rafe's Rover , her mind was clouded with overwhelming thoughts, she was afraid she had officially been classified as his accomplice, she was afraid she had anything to do with the murder, if she had done anything to set Rafe off.
The memory played over and over like a broken record: the way Rafe's eyes had darkened, the sudden flick of his wrist, the sharp crack of the gunshot echoing in the night air. Time seemed to freeze in that moment, each detail etched into her brain with excruciating clarity. Amelia pressed her palms against her temples, willing herself to forget, to unsee, but the image stuck like a thorn.
The thought was suffocating. Amelia squeezed her eyes shut, hoping and praying for a sense of clarity, for a way out of this mess. But the more she thought, the more chaotic her feelings became.
Finally , after most of the car ride being in silence , Rafe spoke.
"She had the hammer back. You know that." He said , still in shock about what he had done.
"No." Sarah bluntly replied , tears escaping her eyes.
"She was gonna blow his head off." He replied , raising his voice.
"No she was arresting him , Rafe!" She yelled.
"Okay , I couldn't sit there and let it happen okay—she was gonna kill him.Yeah yeah yeah she was gonna kill him." He spoke , almost as if he was trying to convince his self rather than Amelia and Sarah.
Suddenly , Sarah abruptly attempted to jump out of a car moving at 80 miles per hour. But fortunately , (unfortunately for her) Rafe grabbed onto her causing for her to sit back down.
"Do you realize what you've done?" She yelled.
"Let's just—take a breather." Amelia said in an attempt to calm things down , holding back tears as she tried to be the mature one in this situation.
"I saved Dad.what was I supposed to do okay?Sit there , hope for the best?" He replied , completely ignoring Amelia.
"Sarah , I'm a proactive type of person!." He yelled , grabbing onto his sisters arm violently , causing Amelia to step in and break it off between them.
"Rafe, stop!" Amelia shouted, her voice cutting through the tension like a knife. She turned to Sarah, who was visibly shaking, her cheeks streaked with tears."This won't help anyone."
"I saved Dad!Okay?!" he roared back.

As the elder Cameron and Amelia got out of the car , they were met with questioning stares from Rose.
