    You ran up the stairs at the Rosewood Hotel to the top floor. Something was off and you felt it.

    Your fiancé was a criminal and today he had his robbery and then he went here to Gordon's apartment to settle the money.

    But you had talked to him on the phone a few minutes earlier while the Takers were waiting for Jesse to come back. After a few minutes, shots rang out and AJ hung up. That's why you're here.

    You run into John running down the stairs with the rest of the Takers - without AJ. John grabs your arms and says

    "Go home, don't worry about it. We'll explain everything later, okay?"

    You shake your head and ask, shaken, "Where's AJ?"

    When John doesn't respond, you push him away and continue climbing the stairs.

    When you reach the top floor of Gordon's apartment, the door is open and there are several holes in it from the shooting. You run to the kitchen and see AJ lying on the floor. You kneel next to him and take his face in your hands. AJ opens his eyes and looks at you, tired. He was shot three times. You start talking, taking your phone out of your purse

    "Look at me. What happened here?"

    You start dialing the emergency room while taking off your black jacket and pressing it to AJ's wounds. Better this than nothing. AJ hisses in pain as he looks at you. He speaks quietly

    "Don't call. They won't arrive on time anyway."

    You have tears in your eyes when you call the ambulance

    "Don't say that. We're getting married in a week."

    AJ forces a chuckle but doubles over in pain and says with a small smile

    "So you only care about the wedding and the gifts, right?"

    He jokes
