he looks up, eyebrows lifting slightly at angela and the bag of rocks, "shopping spree?" though, he slips the bracelet onto his wrist without question and doesn't state the obvious - that he doesn't think any of this will protect him if the killer really wants him dead. "do i have to keep the stone in my pocket for it to protect me? or can it protect me from my desk at home?" he picks it up, running his fingers over the surface of the black rock, "i dunno anything about this crystal stuff." he admits. then, he gestures to the bag, "i hope you got some protective rocks for yourself in there too. otherwise, i'm going over there and buying more." and despite the recent loss of his cousin, all the victims thus far point to angela being a much more likely target then him, especially with daniela still gone. "and, y'know, maybe some pepper spray for good measure? a taser? how hard do you think it is to get a functional taser around here?"

nathanĀ stepsĀ offĀ theĀ podium,Ā triesĀ hisĀ bestĀ toĀ keepĀ hisĀ facadeĀ up.Ā āĀ youĀ knowĀ damnĀ wellĀ iĀ didn't,Ā ā Ā heĀ whispersĀ throughtĀ grittedĀ teeth,Ā voiceĀ beginningĀ toĀ shake.Ā āĀ sheĀ wasĀ deĀ āĀ ā Ā ifĀ there'sĀ anyoneĀ onĀ thisĀ earthĀ thatĀ couldĀ getĀ nathanĀ toĀ trulyĀ break,Ā itĀ wouldn'tĀ beĀ anyoneĀ elseĀ butĀ rebecca.Ā āĀ āĀ sheĀ wasĀ already deadĀ whenĀ iĀ gotĀ there.Ā ā
āø» šØšš©š©šš£š , deerlake clubhouse / feb 15th, 20:05.
āø» šØš©šš©šŖšØ , closed for nathan talbot / @enternights.

the clubhouse is suffocating ā full of people, but dead silent as the mayor's words hang thick in the air. rebecca doesn't hesitate. " what a coincidence, huh ? " she shouts out, pushing through the crowd, eyes locked on her brother as she storms toward him with conviction. " you. in the middle of it all. again. " her voice isn't calm. this isn't the composed investigative journalist who picks apart the truth in her books or podcast. this is a mother whose daughter is dead, listening to her own brother on that recording, sounding like a man with far too much to hide.
she ignores the stares, the whispers as she finally reaches him. she's used to it by now. always been the talbot outcast, the one people talk about, the one people expect the worst from ... but nathan ? he was never on the wrong side of public opinion. the man who's spent years running this godforsaken town, always hiding behind that carefully curated facade. she's seen it before; the smiles, the demeanor, like butter wouldn't melt. seems he's gotten away with it again ā pointing the finger towards cooper riley just as he did with jacob thorne all those years ago ā but she's not going to let that happen. not this time.
" why were you there, nathan, hm ? ā what exactly did cooper walk in on ? " tries her hardest to stay strong, demand answers, but her voice breaks, tears pooling in her eyes. " tell me you didn't have something to do with this. "

jawĀ clenchesĀ asĀ tightlyĀ asĀ theĀ gripĀ onĀ hisĀ collar,Ā staggeringĀ likeĀ aĀ ragdollĀ underĀ controlĀ asĀ he'sĀ pushedĀ deeperĀ intoĀ theĀ livingĀ room.Ā nathanĀ knowsĀ cooperĀ isnātĀ stupid,Ā thatĀ heĀ can'tĀ beĀ boughtĀ orĀ manipulatedĀ likeĀ nathanĀ doesĀ withĀ practicallyĀ halfĀ theĀ town.Ā andĀ heĀ knowsĀ cooperĀ won'tĀ leaveĀ unlessĀ heĀ getsĀ anĀ answer,Ā aĀ realĀ answer,Ā oneĀ thatĀ heĀ can'tĀ provideĀ unlessĀ heĀ knowsĀ heĀ canĀ beĀ trusted.
nathanĀ remainsĀ silent,Ā refusingĀ toĀ utterĀ aĀ singleĀ wordĀ beforeĀ heĀ hasĀ theĀ chanceĀ toĀ getĀ hisĀ thoughtsĀ inĀ order.Ā cooperĀ hadĀ seenĀ everything,Ā there'sĀ noĀ wormingĀ hisĀ wayĀ outĀ ofĀ it.Ā he'llĀ giveĀ itĀ toĀ him,Ā atĀ leastĀ āĀ he'sĀ persistent,Ā likeĀ aĀ goddamĀ cockroach,Ā withĀ aĀ determinationĀ soĀ unrelentingĀ thatĀ evenĀ nathanĀ himselfĀ wantsĀ toĀ seeĀ ifĀ allĀ hisĀ jabbingĀ isĀ enoughĀ toĀ makeĀ himĀ break.Ā butĀ heĀ cannotĀ allowĀ it,Ā won'tĀ allowĀ it.Ā hisĀ parentsĀ raisedĀ himĀ toĀ beĀ manyĀ things,Ā butĀ weakĀ wasn'tĀ oneĀ ofĀ them.
feetĀ dragĀ alongĀ theĀ hardwoodĀ floorĀ asĀ heĀ stumblesĀ outĀ ofĀ cooper'sĀ grip,Ā handsĀ reachingĀ upĀ toĀ smoothĀ downĀ hisĀ collarĀ whereĀ itĀ hadĀ beenĀ wrinkled.Ā āĀ iĀ amĀ tellingĀ theĀ truth,Ā āĀ nathanĀ says,Ā soĀ thoroughlyĀ exhaustedĀ withĀ cooper'sĀ refusalĀ toĀ believeĀ him.Ā itĀ normallyĀ isn'tĀ thisĀ difficultĀ forĀ himĀ toĀ convinceĀ anyone,Ā butĀ inĀ thisĀ case,Ā cooperĀ isn'tĀ justĀ anyone.Ā āĀ isĀ thatĀ notĀ enoughĀ forĀ you,Ā orĀ areĀ youĀ justĀ waitingĀ forĀ somethingĀ youĀ wantĀ toĀ hear?Ā someĀ kindĀ ofĀ gotchaĀ moment?Ā ā
despiteĀ hisĀ slowlyĀ repletingĀ confidence,Ā heĀ takesĀ anotherĀ stepĀ back,Ā browsĀ furrowingĀ asĀ heĀ triesĀ toĀ decipherĀ cooper'sĀ trueĀ intentions,Ā ifĀ heĀ reallyĀ wantsĀ theĀ truthĀ orĀ ifĀ there'sĀ somethingĀ elseĀ atĀ play.Ā lookingĀ atĀ himĀ now,Ā heĀ seesĀ notĀ theĀ angryĀ manĀ thatĀ standsĀ beforeĀ him,Ā butĀ theĀ manĀ whoĀ caughtĀ himĀ atĀ somehowĀ theĀ mostĀ auspiciousĀ time,Ā asĀ ifĀ heĀ struttedĀ inĀ rightĀ onĀ cue.Ā realizationĀ dawnsĀ onĀ nathanĀ likeĀ aĀ flashĀ ofĀ lightning.
anotherĀ boutĀ ofĀ silenceĀ lingersĀ inĀ theĀ tensionĀ andĀ allĀ itsĀ density,Ā likeĀ aĀ bombĀ couldĀ setĀ offĀ ifĀ heĀ doesn'tĀ chooseĀ hisĀ nextĀ wordsĀ withĀ aĀ diffuser'sĀ precision.Ā āĀ i'mĀ beingĀ setĀ up,Ā ā Ā heĀ admits,Ā finally,Ā aĀ confessionĀ thatĀ upĀ untilĀ thatĀ pointĀ he'dĀ onlyĀ saidĀ aloudĀ toĀ charlotteĀ āĀ andĀ hereĀ heĀ isĀ now,Ā tellingĀ manĀ he'sĀ notĀ sureĀ heĀ canĀ trust.Ā āĀ andĀ iĀ hadĀ noĀ ideaĀ whoĀ wasĀ behindĀ it,Ā butĀ nowĀ i'mĀ thinkingĀ ...Ā ā
gazeĀ fallsĀ backĀ onĀ cooper,Ā thisĀ timeĀ moreĀ stoic,Ā moreĀ encroachingĀ asĀ heĀ stepsĀ forward,Ā noĀ longerĀ backedĀ intoĀ aĀ corner,Ā butĀ standingĀ interrogatively.Ā āĀ whatĀ businessĀ didĀ youĀ haveĀ beingĀ inĀ townĀ hallĀ atĀ suchĀ anĀ ungodlyĀ hourĀ anyway?Ā āĀ he'sĀ gotĀ hisĀ handĀ backĀ onĀ theĀ wheel,Ā heĀ can'tĀ affordĀ toĀ letĀ goĀ now.Ā āĀ becauseĀ it'sĀ aĀ bitĀ ofĀ aĀ coincidence,Ā isn'tĀ it?Ā thatĀ youĀ managedĀ toĀ walkĀ inĀ onĀ meĀ atĀ anĀ opportuneĀ moment?Ā ā Ā almostĀ likeĀ you'dĀ beenĀ waiting.

She clung to him like her hands were the only thing holding him together, like he might dissolve into ash if she loosened her grip. She was desperate to keep him upright, to keep him close, and yet, as they crossed the doorway into the guest room, she had to work to smother the feeling that he was intruding on her space. It was sickening- that even now, covered in blood and teetering off the edge of a cliff, she struggled to let her husband see any part of her private self. Her grip loosened as he moved in front of her, but she maintained contact, right hand clutching the stiff wool of his sweater, left hand cradled under his arm and gripping his elbow. Thereās a long stretch of silence as she processes his words. Briefly, the worst-case scenario crosses her mind- but then she meets his eyes, and the thought is dismissed as quickly as it arrived. He may not be an innocent man, and he may not even be a good man, but she is sure of this: Nathan is not a killer.
āTell me everything.ā Her words were firm, and projected a version of herself that was far stronger than she felt. āI wonāt tell anyone, but you have to tell me everything.āĀ She let go of his sweater, reaching up to cup his face, to offer him some kind of comfort. "Whatever it is, we'll get through it. Together."

a laugh slips out, sharp and humorless, as she wipes the tears away with the back of her hand. " you've got some nerve.

. " her voice cracks, but she pushes through it, almost trembling with rage. " and i bet that's just the tip of the iceberg ā i wouldn't be surprised if you had something to do with this. " a throwaway comment, but not really. she'd accused him in the past, but she didn't really think her own brother had something to do with her daughter's murder, did she ?
she's looking at him now, really looking, and for a short, blissful moment, they're not here. they're young again, the whole world at their feet, full of ambition and naivety. back when she trusted her big brother, her protector, the only one that had ever stuck up for her. she remembers the nights she'd storm into his bedroom, furious about some argument she'd had with their parents, and he'd always know just the right thing to say to make her laugh. it's almost laughable now ā how much faith she had in him back then. now all she sees is a stranger wearing her brother's face.
" i know i failed kirby. " her words are quieter now, stripped of resentment, raw in a way that makes her stomach turn. her gaze drops to the floor ; he can see her rage, but she won't let him see her vulnerability. " i cared ā care ā about her, nathan. i know i fucked up. i didn't know how to show it, but can you blame me ? look at what this town did to us. i had to leave. "
