He staggered towards his dresser with a confused look on his face. "Whoa what... I-I don't understand any of this. Can we just... go to bed and talk about this in the morning when I've sobered up?"

"By the morning either one or both of us could be dead." She said ominously. Now let's go!"

His frown grew deeper but he started to pack a bag nonetheless. "W-What about my friends, then...? A-And where are we going?"
"Kick them out. I don't care. But we are going to lay low." Once their bags were packed, she grabbed his arms. "We'll take my car. Get your friends out of here."

"Are you sure all this is necessary? Some of them are too drunk to drive..."
"Call them an Uber. I don't care, Peter. Just make sure your place is empty. The people who are coming will not show mercy. They'll be looking for a man and a woman. They don't know what we look like."

"Who the fuck are these people?!" he demanded, blocking the door. "You're about to have me kick all my friends out of my house and you won't tell me why. I think I deserve to know!"
She rubbed her temple. "Criminals, Okay!? They're criminals! I'm using them to track down the bastard who hurt my son! I can't go into it all now."

He stared at her for a couple of moments. "...Criminals?!...For fuck's sake," he muttered, going into his living room. He banged on the table, startling all his friends awake. "All right, everybody out!"
"Hey... man... what's up?" his friend asked groggily.
"You have to leave. Now."
"Why, man?"
"I-I don't... Whatever, police are coming."
"Shiiiiit, the weed," the man muttered and scrambled to his feet. He grabbed his things and ushered the others to his car. Peter grabbed him by the collar.
"You ain't driving, man... Go around the corner and call an uber or something, I don't know."
"Nah man it's fiine..."
"No it's not," Peter said, giving him a shove. "You know you could kill someone. Get out of here." The man grumbled something else under his breath before walking off. Peter sighed and closed his door behind him. "You better explain this when I'm sober," he murmured to Alicia.
Alicia nodded. "With any luck, you just might forget about all of this." She said. She pushed Peter into her car and drove away. She carefully looked all around her as she drove. Who knows when they could arrive? She was hyper alert and honestly, fearful of her life and of Peter's. "What possessed you to answer that damned phone anyways?!" She snapped as she ran a hand through her hair. She shook her head briefly. "Listen, once we are safe, I'll explain part of the truth... you are not ready for the whole thing."
