"Okay I’m all ears.." Tyler said sarcastically.

"We have to kill them and make it look like an accident." Riley shot back at him.

"Ha, wow Riley you are fucking hilarious….how do you get the time and energy for those comedic performances of yours?"

"I’m serious Tyler." she said looking directly into his eyes.

"The hell you are…your fucking crazy… You want to seriously kill them? " he said a little to loud..

The girls in the other room looked up at the comment and then into each others eyes.

"You don’t think they are serious, do you Spence?" she said frantically.

"Honestly ash, I really don’t know….I mean look at what they were already capable of." she said tearing up a little

"Oh my god….this is not happening…… I just got you back, I am not losing you….." Ashley said with fat tears now streaming down

her beautifully cut up and bruised face.

"Shh baby…I won’t let that happen okay….trust me……do you trust me ash?"

"With my life love….." she said looking up again into a sea of blue…

Back In The Other Room……

"You want to go to jail for life? You damn well know that if those girls get out of here they are going to the police….and the shit that we did,

kidnapping, attempted rape, battery….we would go to jail and they would throw away the key, could you stand never seeing your son

again?" Tyler looked down at his shoes contemplating the things Riley was saying. He couldn’t stand not being able to ever see his son

again.

"Well?" Riley said expectantly.

"How do we do this?" Tyler says looking away in disgust.

Meanwhile……

"Hey Landon, you almost ready to head out pal?" Aiden called over to his nephew while kicking the soccer ball toward him.

"Um…yea I guess uncle Aiden, but can we stop for ice cream first?" he said with a pout, that he no doubt learned from his mother.

" yea….just let me call your mom and see if she and Spencer want anything though." He dialed the familiar number and let it ring a

couple times before going to voice mail. He then dialed her house phone with the same result.

"hmm, thats strange, she always answers when I have landon…." he said to himself.
