Once she was gone, Julian let his head hang low and slammed his fists onto the desk. It took everything he had to keep himself together. This was his worst nightmare, coming to life right before his eyes and he was powerless against it.

When Julian arrived home, Alicia smiled at him and kissed his cheek. "Welcome home! How was work?" She pulled away and saw his expression. Something was wrong. Very wrong. "What happened?" She asked softly. "Is it Lauren?"

He closed his eyes and pulled her into a tight hug. He needed to hold her for a moment. Feel her arms around him. If this turned out for the worse... he might not get to feel that many more times. He stroked her hair, taking a deep, shaky breath.
"She knows," he said softly, holding her close. "I don't know how but she's figured it all out. She caught me by surprise, she gave me this whole report, I haven't even read it yet, Alicia, I'm freaking out," he rambled.
Alicia hugged him back, worried. She held him tightly as she laid her head on his shoulder. Something truly rocked his world. She gasped as he told her what had happened. She pulled away just enough to look at his face. "No..." She murmured. She held him tightly again as she started to cry.
"Is this it?" She asked softly. "I'm going to lose you and the kids?" She didn't want it to be true. She gripped his shirt tightly. "Dear God..." She just held him. She was going to die. The kids would lose their mother and possibly their father. "I don't want to kill another to keep this a secret..."

He shushed her softly and kissed her forehead. "You won't have to. I'll do it if it needs to be done. I won't let you be taken away. Ever." He grabbed her shoulders and pulled away a little so he could look at her. "But we're not there yet. I find it hard to believe her, but she said she's willing to destroy everything she found. In return, she wants to talk to you."
She looked at him as he spoke. She was visably shaking. "I can't let you do that... You can't kill her..." She took a deep breath as he told her what she wanted. "To talk? She wants to talk?" She shook her head. "Why would she want that?"

He shook his head. "She said she just wants to have s conversation with her uncle's killer."
She nodded then she looked up at him as a terrifying idea crossed her mind. "What...what if she wants to kill me?"

"I won't let her," he said, holding her tight. "She said no weapons, but I'll bring one, I'll find a way. She'll be dead before she touches you." He kissed her forehead. "Call me crazy, but... I don't think she intends to hurt you."
She hugged him tightly once more. "I'm scared. I'm so scared. I never imagined that I would be found out."
