Emeliano's pov

The echo of the gunshot still resounded around the private plane area, causing this tiny annoying sound in my ears.

Three red spots began to turn visible on Rafael's white shirt as the gun dropped from his grip, so did his whole body.

The sound of sirens were distant but we could hear a few coming our way.

Rebecca stood still beside me, her eyes glued to Rafael's lifeless body on the ground, the cop who had shot him moved to grab the gun on the ground.

"He's dead." Rebecca said in a low tone.

"It over." I said pulling her into me for a hug as police cars began to surround the area. "Are you okay?"

She shook her head against my chest. "I'm not."

My fingers stroked her hair. "You're going to be okay. I promise."

"Rebecca!" April's voice yelled out as she rushed towards us.

Rebecca lifted her head and pulled away from me, accepting April's hug.

"Thank God you're okay." April whispered against her hair.

"He's dead." Rebecca repeated to April.

April's eyes met mine for a second, I knew exactly what she was thinking.

Rafael's death affected Rebecca. But why? She hated him right? Everyone hated him, so why was she acting like she just lost someone very dear to her.

Rebecca pulled away from April.

"It's going to be okay." April said with a reassuring smile. "You need to relax, after everything you've seen today... You need rest, Emeliano, take her home... I'll handle things here."

"Okay-"

"Andrew?" Rebecca asked April.

"Rafael got to him just before he came here, the cops had been tailing him since this morning."

"How did Andrew get to Orlando before us?" I asked April.

"Turns out Rafael called in a few favors, Andrew was drugged back to Orlando where Rafael had been torturing him for a while, killed him just this morning." April said.

Rebecca sucked in a harsh breath.

"Becca it's going to be okay, I promise you." April reassured. "Go, I'll handle everything."

I nodded toward April. "Thanks April, for getting here on time." I said.

"It okay. Take her home."

"Come on." I said, leading Rebecca towards a car already waiting to take us home.

The car ride was silent, she kept looking out the window, playing with her fingers nervously. I knew her mind wasn't settled, I knew something was bothering her, and I knew she needed space to think about it.
