Public Enemy #1 (Gabentine Fic)

Confessions

Clementine's P.O.V

I felt my body go numb at hearing David say that Garcia was the one who raped me. I clutched AJ tighter to me and glared at David.

"What the fuck are you talking about, you old fuck?"

David laughed his sadistic cackle and an evil grin spread across his face.

"Tell me, detective, do you remember anything from that fateful night? Maybe the guy whispering he was sorry as he took you in that dark alleyway? Is any of this ringing any bells?"

I tried thinking back to that night and felt tremors rake my body as I remembered the guy speaking to me, almost sounding remorseful. Tears were streaming down my face as the feeling from that night overcame me. I looked down at Garcia's face and seen that he was looking horrified at me and I also seen tears welling up in his eyes.

"Remembering now, Marsh? I was there that night and made Gabe prove his loyalty to me. It just so happened that you were in the neighborhood and by yourself. Now, I have to give Gabe some credit because he honestly did not want to do that to you. I had to put a gun to his head and threaten to kill his sister if he didn't do as I said."

Garcia was no longer looking at me and closed his eyes as I stared down at him. AJ was hearing everything and I placed my hands over his ears to try and block out the sound of David's voice, but it was pointless. AJ was now crying because David had a gun pointed at both of us and he knew something wasn't right. David finally stepped over Garcia's body and inched closer to us. I had to divert his attention from us somehow and talking was the only way to do it.

"So, you were the one who killed your first wife? You clipped her brake line and then she wrecked and died?"

David paused with his stepping and folded his arms across his chest.

"Isabella had to go because she was going to take Gabe and Mariana far away from me. I couldn't let that happen so I had Badger do a tune up on her car and she never got the chance to wreck our family."

Garcia's eyes snapped back open upon hearing about his mother and I could tell he was about to get up, but I gave him a sharp look that kept him down. David thankfully didn't see me and I had to think of something else to distract him while Garcia thought of something to get us out of here.

"You almost killed my step mother and kidnapped my kid because I shot your current wife, Kate."

"Eh, she was going to be killed either way because her and my brother were screwing around behind my back. You actually done me a favor with her, but you still killed my wife and you had to be punished for it."

"Why did you make it seem like Garcia killed all of those people?"

David held up his finger at me and smiled.

"I actually did not have anything to do with planting evidence on them murders to make it seem like Gabe did it. That was one of your very own police officers and he is almost like family to us. Of course Gabe didn't kill them people, the little bitch got a parking ticket and paid it off the next day!"

"Who's your rat on the police force?!"

"Sorry that information is classified, detective. I'm done with all this chit chat, choose which one of you wants to get shot first."

David pointed his gun at me and AJ once more and AJ buried his head in the crook of my shoulder. I held him tighter to me and whispered comforting things in his ear as David cocked his gun.

"Very well. I'll just use one bullet for both of you."

I clenched AJ to me even harder and waited for the gunshot that would kill us both. However, all I heard was a curse and then grunts and scrambling of feet. I opened my eyes to see what was going on and seen Garcia holding David in a chokehold. His gun was still in David's grasp, but his finger was no longer on the trigger. I stood with AJ holding my hand and I was about to help Garcia, but he shook his head and shouted.

"NO! GO, GET AJ OUT OF HERE! JUST GO!"

Even after I heard the Garcia was the one who raped me, I didn't want to leave him with David. Tears were once more burning my eyes, but I gripped AJ's hand and we ran out of the warehouse. I ran straight to my car and called Lee to get here fast before securing AJ in the car. AJ grabbed my hand as I was about to leave with him and leave this all behind.

"Mommy, what about daddy? Where's daddy? He told me he would come with us and we could live as a big family."

I shook my head at AJ and buckled him up as he struggled against the buckle and tried fighting me.

"AJ, stop! We have to go!"

Brrrinng! Brrrinng!

I snatched my phone out of the console and answered it.

"Clementine."

I stopped messing with AJ as I heard Garcia's voice over the phone.

"Gabe, where are you?!"

"Clementine, I need you to know that I'm sorry for what I did to you. I'm so sorry. I never meant to hurt anyone and I hurt the person that I was beginning to love. You tell AJ that I love him and you keep him safe. Goodbye, Clem."

Click.

I stared at my phone in disbelief and started running towards the warehouse just as it exploded, knocking me back and onto the pavement.

"NO! NO!"

The warehouse was completely blown and had a major fire inside it. AJ started shouting from the car as I watched the warehouse burn to the ground.

"DADDY! DADDY!"
