@ohchaos gets a starter for beth & rio
Just when Beth thinks she is free, Rio goes and pulls a stupid stunt like kidnapping an FBI agent. She’d gotten them out of the water and now? Now, he’s pulled her back under the waves. Why couldn’t he just let her go?!
The gun feels heavy in her hands, Rio is telling her to shoot the agent and Beth can’t even think straight. Tears run down her face, mascara smeared all over her face, she looks like a mess but that is the least of her worries.
Rio takes a step closer, says the word ‘bitch’ and before he can say anything else, Beth is turning towards Turner. In an instant, the trigger is pulled.
Not one time but three shots are fired. Because he’s right, she will never be free of him until he is dead. Her hands begin to shake, eyes wide with the realization of what she’d done. Blood pours from the bullet wounds in his body and there is a vacant look on his eyes, she’d murdered him.
She’d shot him three times. One would have been enough considering the bullet lodged itself in his chest but she had done it more than once, she’d had every intent to kill him. Fuck, what the hell are they going to do? She’d just killed an FBI agent! If she wasn’t going to jail before, she sure as hell is now when someone eventually finds out. Will they? Will Rio even let that happen?
There are so many thoughts running around in her head that it makes her head spin. A deep breath in, deep breath out - it doesn’t help.
But that isn’t what scares her. What scares her is how good it had felt to pull that trigger. How instead of turning the gun on Rio and saving the agent, she’d killed him. It scares her that a previously heavy gun feels so light in her hands now.
The hand that isn’t holding the gun comes up to cover red-painted lips as a choked out sob leaves her lips. “Oh god….oh god….I killed him…I actually killed him…” Suddenly she’s turning her wide-eyed gaze to Rio, tears constantly flow down her face, both because she’d taken a life and because she had enjoyed the sound of the gunshot;. So much so that she shot him three times which is something she didn’t have to do.
She thrusts the gold gun in Rio’s direction for him to take. “Take it! Just take the gun, Rio!”
