One second we were in the hotel room in Dubai

One second we were in the hotel room in Dubai. He began to act different as if Dubai was somewhere he didn't want to be. I see him as he struggles to maintain conversation with me. He paces around the room, fidgeting.
The next second all I could see was white, a loud ringing in my ear, and hands all over me. I was terrified and I couldn't find Mitch. A bag was put over my head, I was lifted and thrown over someone's shoulder. Then I was in a room with him.
It was all a blur, my mind altering the memory, but flashes of blood and guns filled my head.
It was only a couple minutes with them, with Ghost.
He said I'd get hurt, his men will kill me so I should leave.
"Laur, you need to speak to me are you okay." Mitch had his hands on my shoulders shaking me, looking at all the blood splashed on me.

I tried to escape before Mitch could make it, I stole a gun from Ghost's men and just shot. I didn't look to see who it was.
An innocent woman, walking around the corner, in front of the guys who were chasing me. Her blood on the floor and on my clothes. They took fire on anyone who entered the floor, blood dripping down the stair case. It was because of me. They died because of me.
"You're safe now." Mitch pulls me in for a hug, then picks my up off of the ground.
"We can do this." He reassured me.
But I'm frozen.
He told me he had Elena for a full two weeks and no one told me. Is that why I can't have contact with her? Because they failed to protect her once already. Mitch new he had to of known. But he would've told me right?
We make it to the parking garage and he sets me down in-front of our car rental. And then he opens the passenger door for me, I get in.

Instead of a hotel, we are at a safe house. Miles away from anything, we were in the corner of Dubai. The city being about 40 minutes from us.
"I care about you." Mitch said for the tenth time today.
"And I'm not doing my best here. I don't like Dubai. I apologize. I've been off my game." He's sitting next to me on the couch, waiting for me to say something.
"I know you are scared but I'm here for you. Please say something."
The tv show in the background filling up the emptiness.
"Thank you. I killed people today." I say, my voice wavering.
"It's not your fault." He shakes his head.
"I should've been more aware, had Irene or stan here with me."
"It's okay." I reply.
"I just want to nap." I lay my head down, on top of his lap while laying my body onto the couch.
"A nap yeah okay." Mitch wanted to say more and he wanted me to say more but I couldn't. We couldn't.
