Isabelle went to meet Rio in his car outside her house.
"What's up?" He asked.
"Did you get my messages?" She questioned.
"Yeah, I'm here, right?"
"I left 12."
"Yeah, and a few with the emojis eyes crossed out."
"Where were you?" Isabelle asked.
"I was at Legoland." Rio said simply.
"Are you serious?"
"Yeah, it's a really nice place."
"So you went on vacation?"
"Yeah, with my kid."
"Sounds fun."
"Yeah, yeah. It's real dope. You know, everything's Lego there. They've got a Lego Vegas Strip, Golden Gate Bridge-"
"I'm about to be arrested for murder." Isabelle raised her voice.
Rio laughed. "Well, that sucks."
"And you couldn't return a text?"
"Yeah, I don't work while on vacation."
"That's all I am? Work?" Isabelle asked.
"Pretty much, yeah." Rio smirked.
"That's it?"
"That's it."
"Oh. One thing you should know. Your money's cooked. The feds know everything. Welcome back, boss." Isabelle said before getting out the car and slamming the door.

Isabelle went to Rio's place to find it was completely empty.
Suddenly she got a call from a blocked number.
"Hello." She answered.
"Hey." Rio replied.
"How are you?" Isabelle asked as she looked around.
"What's going on?"
"Your neighbour said you moved out."
"Yeah, something like that."
"Where'd you go this time? Epcot? Six Flags?"
"What do you want, Isabelle?" Rio asked.
"I need more money. Again."
"I gave you the keys to the kingdom."
"I know." Isabelle said.
"But you didn't want them."
"If I could ask anyone but you, I would. I'm in real trouble, all right?"
"That fed's got a real hard on for you, huh?"
"Yeah, and not the good kind."
"Thing is, I'm a little dry right now. You know how it is. What are you doing?" Rio asked.
"What do you mean?" Isabelle asked.
"Right now, what are you doing?"
"Nothing. Just getting my hair cut."
"Don't." Rio said.
"What?"
"Don't cut it."
Isabelle scoffed. "I'm only having a little took off."
"Yeah, I like messing with it." Rio said and she touched her hair. "Yeah, just like that."
Isabelle looked around until she saw the camera on the ceiling.
"Ah. Got me. So, listen, I wish I could help."
"You could. You just chose not to." Isabelle said.
"Ah, don't be like that, Isabelle." Rio said and the line disconnected.

Rio had taken Isabelle and took the blindfold off.
"I got you a gift." He told her.
"What is wrong with you?" She yelled.
"You know how you always saying I don't help? That's me helping." Rio chuckled and Isabelle saw James tied up. "This right here? That's your problem. Take care of it."
"I already did."
"No, he's not just going to let you walk away now." Rio said.
"I handled it."
"He knows your entire bag of tricks, darling. What you do. Who you are. He even knows what makes your garden grow. Oh, my bad. Yeah, I might have let that last one slip. Now, a guy like that can't let that slide. How's that saying go? 'Cockle shells, silver bells, bodies all in a row.' Ain't that right, boss?" Rio said and got the gun out and held it to Isabelle. "Come on. Just like we practiced."
She took the gun from him.
"You got this. Come on."
"I don't want it." Isabelle said.
"Yeah, well, I didn't get a gift receipt."
"Then why don't you do it?"
"Because it's on you."
"No, it's not."
"Yeah. Yeah, it is, Isabelle."
"You put it on me."
"You asked for it."
"You put everything on me, the money, the dealership..." Isabelle shouted.
"Not easy being king, right?" Rio asked.
"You put it all on me so it's never on you! Nothing's ever on you!"
"Well, now you got a bigger problem, don't you?"
"You think he's my problem? " Isabelle asked.
"So grow up and take care of it."
"He's not my problem."
"Shut your mouth, bitch, okay, and just hand-" Rio started but Isabelle shot him.
