After saying goodbye to Brody as he gave them a bigger travel backpack they walked into there motel room. "I'll run a bath for him," Lena placed a bag on the floor and walked in to the bathroom. She turned on the faucet and put some soap in the water hearing Daniel laughing in the background. After grabbing a towel from the bed she told Daniel to take a bath. She looked at the balcony seeing Sean looking out at the sea.

"Hey," Lena closes the door behind her looking at her brother. She stood next to her brother in silence just looking out over the sea like Sean did. "You really think we can make it to puerto lobos," Sean asked after a while of silence. "I don't know, but we at least gotta try, I won't give up my freedom for something I didn't do... we didn't do," she softly corrected herself with a weak smile looking at Sean. Lena grabbed her phone out of her pocket turning it on. "I couldn't do it," Lena had tears in her eyes as she turned the phone on and opening her pictures and videos. She looked at the pictures of Daniels birthday, Sean's birthday, Christmas, thanksgiving, Easter, New Years, 4th of July. She played a video of Sean and Daniel opening presents with mom. "Thanks Lena," you could hear come from the phone. The video abruptly stopped of a view of Daniel and Sean jumping at Lena who was filming. Tears slowly rolled down down her cheeks feeling Sean's hand on her back. "I'm not getting better Sean," Lena looked up at Sean before taking out the SIM card and throwing the phone away. "I know... let's just forget about it... for now," Sean let his hands slip from Lena's back. "We gotta tell him," Sean said the sentence Lena least wanted to hear but she knew he was right. "I know, we'll do it tonight, now let's just take showers and get cleaned up," Lena said looking at Sean who walked to the door and opened it again. "I'll check on Daniel, and we'll tell him together," with that he closed the door again an walked to the bathroom.

Lena walked inside seeing Daniel with wet hair sitting in the bed in his pjs. "Sean is showering," he said not taking his eyes of the tv. Lena sat down on a bed looking at her little brother until Sean stepped out of the bathroom wet hair towel hanging over his shoulders with only his underwear and pants on. He quickly grabbed a shirt and looked at Lena who nodded. "Daniel, can you turn it off for a second," Lena said looking at the tv. Daniel poured but Lena insisted. "Can you get me a soda, you promised," Daniel said looking at Sean. "Yeah, I'll get it," Lean got up with Sean and walked out.

"I can't," Lena said leaning against the machine. "We can't keep it a secret for e...," Sean cut himself off, seeing the light in the hallway flickering. "Stupid old motel," Sean said pressing some buttons. "I'll te...," Sean got cut off again this time hearing Daniel scream. Lena looked at Sean before making a run for it back to there motel room.

Lean barged through the door seeing Daniel with tears running down his cheeks objects from the room floating in the air. "W...wha... Daniel calm down," Lena said trying to calm him down. "S...she's dead, MOM IS DEAD," Daniel yelled pointing at the tv. Lena looked at the tv seeing a picture of there mother and - text saying deceased while a commentator said. "Lucy Rose Jones has been declared dead this morning while fighting for her life in the hospital for days after being shot at party, the woman's three kids are missing as police suspect them with murder, murder weapon hasn't been found," Lena's eyes immediately filled with tears as she held her hand before her mouth trying to hold in her sobs. "Daniel, I am so sorry," Lena said trying to avoid having something hit her head. "I should have told you, I am so sorry," Lena's tears were streaming down her face as she looked at her little brother who was crying as well. "I should have been honest with you... I am so, so sorry Daniel, please, please just calm down," "NO!" He yelled. Lena watched as the lamp from the night stand was thrown at her not by Daniel, by nothing. She ducked looking at the lamp behind her seeing Daniel still mad. "Daniel please, just calm down so we can talk about it," Lena said again slowly moving closer. "No, she is DEAD," Daniel yelled another lamp was thrown at Lean but this time she didn't duck, hurt vision was compromised by the tears in her eyes. She held her hands in front of her head trying to block the object from hitting her head. When she looked up Sean was next to her holding the lamp. "Sean," she breathed looking around the room. "Daniel, I know it's hard, and I know you don't trust me now," Lena said slowly moving towards Daniel. "Is she... she's dead," "I know, and I'm so sorry," Lena held out her hand to Daniel quickly grabbing him by the back of his neck pulling him in for a hug.

Daniel struggled trying to get out of her grip before giving up sobbing into her chest. Lena dropped on her knees holding Daniel close to her. "I am so sorry," Lena said under her breath. She looked up at Sean who walked over to them. Lena bit her lip trying to hold herself from sobbing. Sean fell on his knees hugging both of them. Lena rested her head against Sean's shoulder.

Lena took a puff from her cigarette leaning on the balcony fence. "You okay," Sean walked over to Lena standing next to her. "Yeah, but I don't know what is wrong with me, all I can think about is, is the question if I killed mom or not," Lena looked up at the beach. "No, you didn't, I saw your hand, not good.... but you weren't even close to the trigger, you were holding the mag while trying to get the safety on, you were no where near the trigger," Sean said reassuring Lena. "Thanks, We'll leave tomorrow, winter is coming, we need shelter," Lena said before walking back inside. "If you want you can sleep in my bed, Daniels, well a kicker, so be prepared," Lena said trying to lighten the mood.

Lena quickly check on Daniel before slipping into the bathroom opening the pill bottle she had in her pants pocket. She looked up at herself in the mirror with the pill in her hand. She quickly put it in her mouth and placed her mouth near the faucet and turning it on. She quickly swallowed the pill and changed into an oversized shirt before getting into bed seeing Daniel and Sean share a bed. Daniel was laying long out with his leg and hand over Sean's body. "I'm a pretty normal sleeper, if you want you can sleep here," Lena offered getting in bed seeing that Sean still had his eyes open. "It's okay really, I can handle Daniel," Sean said jokingly. "Sure, feel free to switch anytime," Lean turned off the light and with that they all fell asleep.
