“What?” she questioned.

“He did the first robbery,” I swallowed, “the second one too.”

Her mouth slowly fell open.

“No,” she whispered out in disbelief.

“Yeah,” I nodded.

The room fell completely silent. I watched the information hit her piece by piece. A wave of shock hit her first, then disbelief, and then confusion laced with slight doubt.

“You sure?”

I laughed without humor.

“I watched the footage myself.”

She sat down heavily on the edge of Maliah’s bed, just staring at me.

“Oh, my God.”

I could hear the shock and disbelief in her tone. I looked toward the window. Toward anywhere except her face because I already knew the next question and I wasn’t looking forward to answering it.

“What happened?”

There it was. I let out a slow breath.

“He admitted it.”

Eternity’s eyes widened slightly.

“He admitted it?”

“Yeah,” I nodded.

“I asked him who was with him.”

Her brows pulled together.

“With him?”

“He wasn’t alone.”

I looked down at the floor.

“He wouldn’t give the other person up.”

The silence stretched. I made eye contact with her before saying the rest.

“So, I shot him.”

The words sounded just as bad out loud as they did in my head. Eternity’s eyes widened.

“You did what?”

Her voice was a little raised, but she wasn’t yelling. I could see a piece of anger in her eyes, but not so much. She knew me inside and out, so she must have known that this was what the fuck was going to happen when I found out who did this. I didn’t expect that it would be his ass. Shit, I don’t think any of us did. I didn’t answer immediately because there wasn’t a version of this story that made me sound good.

“I shot him.”
