"What!?" Scott says in disbelief.

"This can't be true!" He says and gets up to walk out.

"Well believe it." Esther says.

"Why should I!?" He says.

"Mitch, would you like to take it from here?" Esther asks.

I nod and proceed to explain to Scott.

"Because when I confessed my feelings about you to you. I took my best assassin and ordered to have you killed because I was mad at you. Then I realized it was a stupid thing to do and tried to call her off but she kept going with it. Then when it came down to it I was going to shoot her not you but then the cops came and stopped everything. Now here I am." I explain.

Scott just sat there in shock and didn't know what to say about all of this.

"And you know those 'missions' she's been going on?" I ask.

He nods his head and says yes.

"She's been planning your murder at our headquarters in Washington and that's why she hasn't come home yet." I say.

"Why didn't you tell me all of this during one of my many visits to come see you?" He asks.

"She had guards hired into the jail and if I told you anything they were going to kill me." I say.

He just sat there with a puzzled look on his face and didn't know what to say.

"This all makes so much sense now. When I couldn't see you for those few weeks. When you freaked out when I asked about why you did what you did. When you had that black eye and cuts on your face. You almost told me that last day I seen you before you were gone for two weeks." He says.

"Yes. And I'm pretty sure she knows I'm cooperating with the police right now and is out to kill us both. So we have to stay safe and make sure she doesn't find us." I finish.

While Esther, Scott and I talked a little more about what the next steps were, Darrien comes into the room with bad news.

"Sorry to interrupt you guys but we have a problem."

Uh oh.
