Camila was getting ready for Davenport's funeral in her room.

Well, actually, she had been struggling with her clothes for almost twenty minutes.

She stopped for a moment to stare out her window, it was snowing today.

Paul was already dressed, he sat on her bed, looking exhausted.

"Cami, can you please pick a dress so we can go already?"

"Stop bugging me!"

He rolled his eyes.

"Are you okay, though?"

"I'm fine."

"Are you sure?"

"Must be the stress." She lied, as she tied her hair. "The Slayer has killed two cops, nobody's safe anymore."

She put on her dress and turned around, hoping to change the subject.
"Does this dress make me look fat?"

"Are you kidding?"

Camila felt heat rushing up her cheeks as Paul's brown eyes stared at her in adoration.

"You look absolutely perfect."

***************************
Julian was pacing around his room. He felt frustrated, he felt fooled and betrayed.

"Forget about Camila! You're never gonna get her back!"

How did he end up working for such a monster?

Clarke had offered him money and more importantly, Camila's love if he came back to DreVille County to help and he had been stupid enough to happily accept.

Julian was so blinded by the deal that he never even bothered to ask how Clarke would fix his relationship.

Son of a bitch, He's been playing me this whole time. All this time, I've just been his puppet.

He clenched his jaw and balled his fists, filled with anger.

Clarke had used him, he had to make him pay. But how?

He sat down and racked his brain, then it hit him.

He opened his laptop and pulled up the Internet Tip Line website.

STARK'S
Alex, Izzy, Macy and Kai were gathered at the diner, waiting for Giovani.

They were all dressed and ready for the service.

Kai hung up his phone.

"Ok, Paul is with Camila. They'll go on their own."

"I feel bad I used to think he was an asshole. In the end, I guess he was kind of a hero." said Izzy.

"And we will always be grateful for that." said Kai. He turned to Macy. "How's your baby?"

She beamed.
"Fine. I can't wait to have my baby in my arms. Larry's baby."

An audible gasp came from the door.

Lara Brighton stared straight at Macy.

"You're pregnant?"

"Answer me. Are you really pregnant with Larry's' child?"

Macy didn't move.
"Mrs Brighton, what are you doing here?"

"Does it matter?" said Kai, looking at Lara.
"She said she was leaving anyway."

Lara fixed a stare on him.

"Would it fucking kill you to respect me? I used to change your diaper!"

Kai felt his face heat up and he cursed himself for speaking.
