reckless behavior;

Evie opened her eyes, not sure what she was even feeling but she’d finally gotten the confirmation from reading the newspaper this morning and she knew she could be in some serious trouble here. “I… remember the night I came back late? Really late? Like… back in May, I dunno… I hit someone… with my car… that’s why I needed you to put new tires… I didn’t know they died… I didn’t hear anything so I thought maybe they were okay and… but I saw in the paper that they died, there was a memorial yesterday, I…” She frowned. “I didn’t do it on purpose, I didn’t…” She knew he knew the Ruby thing had been purposeful but it’s not like she’d wanted to kill her.

Mark nodded his head a little bit. “Yeah, it was a little bit after I came home. I think.” Hearing her confession, he got up and moved over to her. It seemed like they both had done stuff they weren’t proud of and he hated that she was carrying this alone and didn’t tell him sooner. “I know you didn’t. I know, love.” He wrapped his arms around and kissed the top of her head. Pulling away slightly, he looked into her eyes. “Sofie’s little sister got kidnapped by some guys that she owed and I went in to save her. Remember when I was black and blue for awhile? Yeah, we got into a fight and the guy was actually going to kill me and Sofie’s little sister saved me and I took care of the body. Duncan has some company and I took over the guys business. We’ve all done thing, babe.”

“Care to enlighten me on what it is, then?” Sofie folded her arms, turning back to him after watching the other go.

“Well tell me what you think it is.” Mark wanted to know her thoughts. “Because it is probably what you are thinking.”

Evie squeezed her eyes shut, shaking her head. “I killed somebody…” She mumbled.

Mark raised a brow slightly. “What do you mean you killed someone? I mean outside of that Duncan guy?”

Evie made a face, she really wasn’t sure he’d still be standing there long enough to say whatever he was going to say after she told him so. “Forget it, it’s nothing.”

Mark got up and moved over to her. “No, tell me. What is going on?” He questioned softly, looking into her eyes. “Whatever it is. I’m here.” 

“Uh…. I really think you should probably go first….”

“I insist that you go first.”

“This isn’t what it looks like.” Mark started, after the other guy took off. His eyes went to Sofie. Okay, maybe it was exactly what she was thinking but he could explain it all.

“Alright, alright, but if I get surrounded by screeching children at any point, I’m out of there.” She chuckled.

“Same. Not one for the screeching children either.” He shrugged a little bit, before taking her hand.

“Come on, let’s go in. Check it out for a little bit.” He smiled over at her for a moment.

“A cop really?” Mark teased lightly, looking over at her. “Never expected that one.”

Mark moved into Evie’s place quietly. He knew that Sofie and her sister needed his space right now. So he didn’t want to crowd it. Jumping into the shower before he moved into Evie’s bedroom. Of course he knew that he smelled like that night. That night with Duncan. It would be a week or so until that smell went away. After he finished drying off and putting on some spare clothes, he moved over to her bed and got in with her. Wrapping his arms around her, placing a small kiss onto her shoulder. “It’s just me.” He told her softly. Not wanting her to freak out.

Sofie had worked herself up so much that she’d gotten it into her head that neither of them were coming back. She jumped at the sound of the door and was a little stunned but she was quick to stand up and move over, wrapping her arms around Maggie tight. Her gaze moved back to Mark as she frowned. “What are you going to do?” She felt a bit ill at the idea that her poor innocent sister had killed him but she wasn’t sure if she should make a big deal of it right now. Was Maggie in shock? She pulled back a little so she could look at her. “Are you okay? Maggie, I’m so sorry.” This was all her fault.

Maggie moved in behind Mark, unsure to what she had done. She had killed the man that tormented her and did awful things to her. And he was going to kill her sister and Mark. The moment that she felt Sofie’s arms around her, she hugged her back instantly and tightly. When she pulled away, she looked up at her sister. “I’m–I’m okay..” She lied. “Not your fault. So please don’t apologize.” Maybe if Oscar hadn’t dropped is sobriety and broken up with her. They would have been together and he could have stopped this from happening. But here she was already broken now broken more and worse. 

Moving into his place with Maggie, there was a small sigh that escaped his lips. Seeing Sofie on the couch. “I’m not sure what all he did to her but I’ll take care of his body. You guys don’t have to worry about that.” He told her softly, after he moved over to her. “She did it. She umm..killed him.” He was a little bit bruised but he would be alright.
