"What do you think he needs?" Rafael asked Sebastian as they unknowingly made their way towards Reina's home.

Sebastian shrugged. "It's Donatello. Who knows?"

They reached the door, Sebastian went to knock but the door was already ajar. They both exchanged a look of weariness before venturing into the home. Rafael went straight for the kitchen and Sebastian investigated other rooms of the house.

Rafael found Donatello sitting with his head in his hands. "He's in here, Seb." Rafael yelled out before he knelt down beside him. "What's wrong buddy, you lost?"

Sebastian retraced his steps walked into the kitchen. "Jesus." He said upon spotting Reina's body. He went straight for Reina's pulse. "...Nothing." He dropped her arm and stepped back, pressing his fingers against his forehead.

"I didn't mean to kill her." Donatello cried.

"We've got to cover this up." Rafael uttered. "Look at him, he won't last in prison. He's going to look like Winnie the Pooh compared to all those prisoners."

"Donatello, this is important, you have to run us through everything that happened here." Sebastian stressed as Donatello cleared his throat.

"Reina called me, she told me to come here or she'd send off an email telling everyone I pushed Dante out of the window." Donatello was hyperventilating as he recounted the story. Rafael jumped up and went over to the laptop by the table. "I disconnected the router but she said she was still going to send it off."

"This email here?" Rafael question. "I'll just delete it from her drafts."

"I used the toaster to knock her out... Then I strangled her." Donatello continued.

Rafael laughed. "Please tell me you said some cheesy eighties villain line like: you're toast!"

Sebastian shook his head and took a moment to think. "We can pin this on the strangler."

Rafael squinted as he scanned Reina. "Are you sure? She doesn't match the victim profile."

"Are you forgetting how incompetent the police force is in this city? They won't care." Sebastian picked up Reina's phone and held his hand out. "Give me your phone, that way they won't know you're the last person she called."

Donatello handed the phone to Sebastian. Rafael looked around. "They won't bother to check dash cams around this area either if we take her somewhere else." Rafael muttered.

"You're right." Sebastian then flicked his wrist. "Move Donatello, we need to use the mat."

Rafael assisted Sebastian in wrapping Reina's corpse up in the mat. "I'll take care of the toaster."

"Of course you will, do you want to raid the fridge while you're at it?" Sebastian said in a serious tone, not expecting Rafael to respond.

After the body was wrapped up. Rafael stood up straight and put his hands on his hips. "Well, now that you've mentioned it-"

On Valentino's way into the penthouse, he came across one of the maids. "Hey, has Donatello dropped by?" He asked, the maid shook her head before continuing with the task she'd been given. "Can one of you call him or see where he is?"

Beatriz put her hands on his shoulders. "I'll take care of that for you."

"Catalina, wait." Amara called out for her, she turned around.

"What?" She waited for Amara to respond.

"I don't think you should spend the night with Roman, you should stay here." Amara twiddled her fingers. "He's not a good influence."
