Arnold explained everything to Gerald. About the affair and the blackmail. It took Arnold ten minutes to explain everything and Gerald was in silence and shock the whole time. "Dude...I...I dunno what to say. You're the last person I figure who would do something like this. I thought you did cheat with Helga and got her pregnant. Well, I was half right." Gerald stated. "I thought Helga was pregnant when she needed to talk to me. She said she preferred that than this situation. I know what I've been doing is wrong, Gerald. It's just...I dunno what to do now." Arnold said.
"You and Helga been doing this for months? Am I the only person you told?" Gerald asked. "Yea. I'm sorry Gerald. I thought about telling you but I just...couldn't. You must think I'm a piece of shit." Arnold stated. "Well, you are, haha. But you're still like my brother man." Gerald said. "Heh. Thanks, Gerald. Helga was talking about getting a hitman to silence Jennifer. I'm hoping she was kidding." Arnold replied. "Maybe you guys could I dunno...bribe her? Or find Mr. Smith? Wasn't he in the CIA?" Gerald suggested. "We never knew what he did for a living. I or the borders haven't heard from him in years. It doesn't matter. There's only one option where she told won't tell anyone. She wants Helga to give up her reference letter."
The two guys were startled when there was a couple of knocks at the door. Arnold opened the door and the figure pushes him to get inside his room. It was Helga.
"Where have you been? I've been trying to call you...why is he here?" Helga asked. "Ummm hey, Helga. I was just about to leave." Gerald claimed. Gerald said goodbye to both of them and left the room. "What's going on, Helga?" Arnold asked. "Jennifer won't be saying anything now. We're okay." Helga said. "How? What happened?" Arnold asked.
"I broke her jaw. At least I think. Maybe. Don't matter. She's not going to say anything to anyone." Helga explained as she shows Arnold the damaged phone. "Helga! That wasn't necessary!" Arnold said. "Yes, it was! Believe me, this was the last thing I wanted to do but she left me no choice. I was actually being civil but she didn't care. She brought this on herself. Can you at least pretend to be happy that we won't get caught you fucking asshole? Helga said.
Arnold made a sigh and said okay. "I'll let myself out." Helga said as she was reaching for the door. "Look Helga-" Arnold said.
"Shut up." Helga reply to him as she closes his door and left the boarding house.
