Dean-
I let go of Phil. I took a step towards her and she took two back, backing into Joe. She was scared of me.
"Lucy", I said.
I took a deep breath and left the room.
Lucia-
Jon left and I went over to Phil.
"Are you okay?", I asked.
"Yup, not the first time I've been slammed against the wall", he said.
He fixed his shirt.
"What was that?", I asked.
"Your dad wanted to test Jon's loyalty along with ours. He wanted to see if Jon was willing to take a life in order to keep you safe, we passed", Joe said.
"Jon killed Jack?", I asked.
Colby shook his head no.
"The gun I gave them wasn't loaded. Well it was, but they were blanks", Phil said.
"I have to find Jon", I said.
Phil grabbed my arm.
"Give him a minute, he'll come back", Phil said.
I nodded.
Dean-
I couldn't get the image of Lucia backing away from me, out of my head. I was outside of the hotel smoking. Phil came out.
"Leaving?", I asked.
He nodded.
"Gotta get back to work", he said.
He pointed to the cigarette.
"Stop smoking man", he said.
"This is actually my second one in a long time", I said.
I dropped it and stepped on it. Phil held his hand out.
"Come on man", he said.
I chuckled and handed him the packet.
"Lucia did the same thing", I said.
Phil stood beside me.
"What got you so stressed that you went out and got these?", he asked.
"Lucia", I said.
"Because she backed away?", he asked.
I nodded.
"You turned pretty quickly. She probably blames herself for putting you in this position and thinks you're mad at her", he said.
"I'd never put my hands on her", I said.
"I know that, she does too", he said.
I took a deep breath.
"Thanks", I said.
"Anytime", he said.
He was about to walk away.
"Why Vinny's gun?", I asked.
"He's alive Jon, well was", he said.
"Why didn't you tell me?", I asked angry.
"He's dead. He showed up here and April came up with idea. They shot him down", he said.
"Are you sure?", I asked.
"April double checked", he said.
I nodded.
"I'll see you around", I said to him.
I walked back in. I saw her sitting on the couch outside on the balcony. Joe and Colby smiled.
"You alright?", Joe asked.
I nodded.
"Is she mad?", I asked.
"No", Colby said.
I stuffed my hands into my pockets and walked out onto the balcony. I sat next to her. She looked over at me.
"Where'd you go?", she asked.
"Smoke", I said.
"You smoke?", she asked.
"No, I use too", I said.
She nodded. I let a long moment of silence pass.
"I pulled the trigger Lucy. I pointed the gun right at him and I pulled it", I said.
"Jon", she said.
"I did it to protect you, our baby", I said.
"I know Jon, but that's not the kind of protection I need", she said.
I nodded.
"So if someone is pointing a gun at your head I'm just suppose to stand there and let them shoot you? Hell no, I'm gonna shoot that fucker for putting his hands on you", I said angry.
"That's not what I'm saying", she sighed.
"Then what huh? I can't lose you", I said loud.
She looked at me.
"You have no idea how much I love you. I have never felt anything like this before and I will kill any man or woman who thinks it's okay to hurt you. Whether it's with my bare hands or a gun, I would do it and I'm sorry if you don't like that, but it's how I'm wired", I said loud.
She bit her lip. Silence.
"I told you I don't like being ignored", I yelled.
"I'm not ignoring you. I'm processing what you told me, its how I'm wired", she yelled.
I rubbed my face with my hands.
"You're acting like such a brat right now", I said.
"Why, because I don't want the father of my child to murder people for trying to hurt me?", she said.
"Yes", I said loud.
"Well guess what, now I'm ignoring you", she said.
She got up and walked in. Slamming the glass door in my face and locking it. I stood in front of the door.
"Lucia unlock the damn door", I said as calmly as I could.
She shook her head no. Colby and Joe watched this with amusement.
"Open the fucking door Lucia", I banged my hand against the glass.
She turned on her heels.
"Don't open the door", she said to Colby and Joe.
"Lucia, you're messing with the wrong person here darlin", I said.
She stuck her tongue out at me before disappearing into the hall. I looked at Colby and Joe, who were laughing.
"Open the damn door", I growled at them.
Joe got up, stopping every few steps to laugh. He unlocked it.
"We'll be out here", Joe said.
I rushed to Lucia's room. Locked. I banged my fist into it.
