"Elena, you're going to have to talk to me sooner or later." Sebastian glanced at her from outside the closet. Elena remained seated on the floor with her arms crossed.

"You locked me in a jail!" She yelled.

"A storage closet, but I can see how you'd think a regular workplace environment would be jail." Sebastian laughed as Elena rolled her eyes.

"You're just like Spencer and Claudio. Leaving, then rubbing salt in the wound." Elena remarked.

Sebastian seemed annoyed. "That's not true, I didn't leave willingly."

"No one's forcing you to stay away!" Elena yelled as she stood up. "Harold is dead and nobody suspects you. That's all covered up. Everyone thinks it's Dante."

"Not anymore." Sebastian interrupted.

"Well then why don't you tell them who actually did it, if you know everything?" Elena was now finally facing Sebastian.

"Because I did it." Sebastian confessed and Elena's heart sunk.

"You're lying." She turned away.

"Well, Rafael did if we're being technical." Sebastian shrugged.

"You're covering for someone." Elena responded.

"Or you just don't want to believe it's me. Just because you put all this effort into finding me doesn't mean it'll be paid off with a happy ending." Sebastian responded, he followed the statement with a sigh. "I can recount the whole story if you'd like." This time Sebastian kept talking, he didn't wait for a snarky response from Elena. "After leaving town we received a message from Harold's ex wife claiming she'd double the offer he'd given us if he was bumped off. We eventually did, but you, Leo and Claudio weren't originally part of the deal."

"I guess you're not as smart as you think." Elena scoffed.

"Says the one in a storage closet." Sebastian laughed.

"You're lucky I am, because if I wasn't you wouldn't have any teeth left." Elena rolled her eyes.

"And to think I took you to the hospital for you to repay me in such a way." Sebastian remarked. "You do know that was me right? Does that make up for everything?"

"It doesn't matter if it does, you're leaving anyways." Elena remained distant as Sebastian took a step away from the chain link closet.

"It doesn't bother you that I chloroformed Claudio?" Sebastian tilted his head.

"It doesn't seem to bother you." Elena responded. "I'm more bothered by the fact that you left Leo for dead."

"The police arrived too quickly for us to go back." Sebastian explained.

"I just want things to go back to normal." Elena confessed. "I don't care for what Catalina thinks anymore, I want you back at the house."

"Doesn't Roman practically live there now?" Sebastian asked as he heard the door open.

"Come on Sebastian, you said this would take ten minutes. You know she's just trying to make you stay." Rafael explained to him as he held the door opened.

"You're right, I'll be out there in a minute." Sebastian said as he walked towards the staircase that led to the exit.

"Wait? How am I supposed to get out of here? If they catch me in here I'm turning you in!" Elena said as she shook the chain link barrier that held her back.

"Call your boyfriend." Sebastian responded as he climbed up the stairs.

"Oh yeah, the one you're jealous of!" Elena yelled out causing him to stop.
