Peterkin── a woman who cared about me and my brother easily and unfailingly── is dead. She was shot by Rafe Cameron of all people, can you believe that? She was about to arrest Ward for killing our father but she was shot by his son.

Like I've said before, luck never seems to be on our side.

Ward was about to be locked away, potentially for life, but now he's able to escape once again because Rafe took away the only person who ever fought alongside us and trusted us. She's gone, and I'm devastated, more hurt by the fact that my brother had to witness it happen.

I tried to wipe away the blood on John B's hands while crying but the blood still remains. I've been sitting close to him since he broke the news, staying by him in case he needs open arms. So far, he's trying to handle past events in his own way by suppressing them.

"John B, what are we doing at the police station?"

JJ has a faint hand on my back. I can barely feel the touch of his fingers on my back as he attempts to soothe me, but I know he's lingering close to me, keeping me grounded in the best way he can. It's been a rough couple of days, more rough now that Peterkin is no longer with us.

May she rest in peace.

"Somebody's gotta fell them what happened," John B says, voice sounding so faraway.

Pope starts to cough, averting my gaze to him. I can't help but be concerned. He's smoked a lot of weed in the past few hours── something he doesn't do often, so I'm a little skeptical. I'm worried about everyone tonight, especially my brother who looks so distraught. He did watch Peterkin die, so I can understand why he looks the way he does.
