"I know that you fought yesterday, Lauren called me crying and saying she didn't know what to do," said Detective Kelly standing in the middle of the living room. Everyone was sitting on the couch or in the two recliners, except Camila who was laying on her back on the floor.
"We sorry. Anyone got some drink?" asked Dinah shrugging.
"This is serious Dinah. All of you need to stick together because we think that the killer might have found out where you are," said Detective Katherine Cimorelli crossing her arms.
"Look, if they found us, then you can just relocate us right?" Ally asked fixing her dress.
"Not that simple Ms. Hernandez, not that simple," said Detective Cimorelli shaking her head.
"Look, no one and I mean NO ONE is to leave this house unless they have our permission, okay?" said Detective Kelly heading for the door. Everyone mumbled okays and alrights. Kelly and Cimorelli nodded.
"If you need us we'll be in touch," said Cimorelli and with that they left out of the house.
"Well I'm gonna get a drink, anybody want one?" asked Dinah standing up. Troye raised his hand and so did Ally.
"Oh you're drinking today Allyson?" asked Dinah with one eyebrow raised. Ally smiled sweetly and nodded.
"I'll get my own drink," said Normani jumping up from the couch and walking pass Dinah.
Dinah went in right after Normani and grabbed cups from the cabinet.
"Excuse me," said Dinah reaching over Normani to grab the cups.
Normani ducked and reached to grab something out of the refrigerator.
"How did you and Lauren get put here?" asked Dinah quickly. Normani took a deep breath.
"We were walking down the street that Venitti was murdered on. We were coming from a dinner and we were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Venitti was shot while we were standing in front of a gray car," said Normani grabbing her drinks and walking back into the living room.
"The car was gray?" asked Dinah.
"Yes," said Normani handing Lauren a drink.
"We ran. We told the cops about it the next day. We ran into an alley first though, we were one thousand percent sure they saw us, it was really scary," said Lauren not looking at Dinah. Dinah handed Ally and Troye their drinks and sat down in her seat.
"They didn't see me. I heard yelling outside of my apartment so I turned the lights out and looked out of the window and as soon as I did, shots rang out. Cops came to my door the next day and asked me if I saw anything. I told them I saw a silhouette shoot another silhouette. I could barely see anything," said Ally sipping her drink.
"I saw the two of you in front of my car walking slow and talking," said Dinah looking back and forth between Normani and Lauren.
"You two were walking slow and talking. I heard you laugh. It made me even more sad then I was before. I loaded my gun up in my car... I was gonna end it. Then I heard gunshots and I looked up to see you two running. I saw you turn down the alley by my apartment building. I thought I had ended it, but it was those damn mobsters!" Dinah said through gritted teeth.
"You knew who they were when you first came in here didn't you?" asked Ally.
"Yeah. I knew who they were. I hated the fact that they were so happy together and I didn't even know them! So I'm sorry if I messed anything up or screwed up your happiness. You two deserve to be happy even if I don't," said Dinah wiping tears from her face.
"You deserve to be happy too ya know Dinah?" said Lauren who was hugged up on the couch with Normani.
"Nobody deserves to have to go through wanting to end their life Dinah," said Normani giving Dinah a consoling smile.
Dinah gave her a weak smile before sipping  her drink.
"I think life is funny. One minute we are all complete strangers. The next, boom, we're stuck in a house together because someone wants us all dead," said Troye chuckling dryly.
"I was at the bus stop. I was sitting there and then I heard gunshots from down the street. I didn't move though. I couldn't," said Camila still lying on the floor.
"Evil, it's everywhere. Evil can't stay hidden long, it will come out," said Camila sitting up.
"Why are you so weird?" asked Dinah in a serious tone.
"To survive in the house I grew up in, you had to make up your own personality," the smaller girl answered raising an eyebrow.
"You said evil always comes out right? I think you're right," said Troye pulling a gun out of his pocket and shooting Camila in the arm.
"Ah!" she yelled holding her arm.
"Why!?" yelled Lauren.
"Shut up or I'll kill her. Anybody make any false movement's and I'll kill them too!" Troye yelled before pulling his phone out and calling someone.
"Yeah. Come in now and tie them up boss, I shot one though," he said before hanging up.
A tall girl with long black hair came in holding a Ak-47.
Behind her came a guy with short brown hair and a gray coat and he also carried a Ak-47.
Then came the tall lighskinned girl with the slickedback ponytail.
"Good boy Troye," she said before taking out a 9mm and loading it.
"Shawn and Lisa, tie up the lesbos, the alcoholic and the midget. Troye, get the bleeding crazy chick and apply pressure to the wound," she said.
"Okay Zendaya," they all said in unison.
"How are the cops not watching the house!?" yelled Dinah.
"Shut up, and sit down ya big bitch, I gotta tie you up," said lisa frowning. Dinah was about to protest but just did as she was told.
"Now, as long as all of you cooperate, I'll let you go. If the cops get involved, you're all dead," said Zendaya giving everyone a toothy grin.
