Nothing is okay.

What was meant to be the Knights' triumphant collaborative effort to cut off Chad Becksworth's bid for total control of NOVA Records, allowing them to follow the trail elsewhere, has descended into chaos. Rafael's songs triggered some kind of reaction in Jade that allowed her to regain her lost memories, only to have their reunion cut tragically short by the actions of a hitman who took her hostage on stage, demanding her necklace. While Myri and Violet attempted to convince him that the necklace did not lie with her, Jade signaled to Rafael that she meant to utilize the distraction to break free - but things went out of control and Rafael's bullets struck Jade instead. The Knights felled the hitman, as the world watched, and Rafael begged a distraught and enraged Des to end his life. Meanwhile, a mysterious figure that only Buffy & Spike could see assisted Myrilandel in healing Jade enough to hang on for a little time more...

Time for people to say goodbye.

In the meantime, the police have arrived, arresting Rafael, Archer, and Des (or attempting to), and preparing Jade to be taken to the hospital. Everyone else is being ordered to head outside to be taken down to the station for questioning. It's a hectic scene, but people can finally snatch a few moments amid the chaos to try to make sense of what just happened...

Everyone has enemies.

[behindcloseddoors]

Any in particular, who might have had something to do with this?

[graveflowers]

Other than the psycho holding her at gun point? No, I don't know. Can I go see Raf?

[behindcloseddoors]

Mr. Becksworth is currently negotiating his bail.

[graveflowers]

Will he be released on his own recognizance? Can he come back with us? [Which she then realizes would not actually be a good idea... Hopefully Isabella is finding them a new hotel right now.] No, more importantly, can he go home? Or is that one of those arraignment thing?

[Int 18, girl watches a lot of TV.]

[behindcloseddoors]

If he gets bail sorted, he'll be allowed to go for now.

[graveflowers]

Great. So can I go now? I'd like to change.

[Out of her bloody clothes. Bloody with her friend's blood. In case you forgot, officer, she is here to remind you.]

Just a couple more questions. [ annd he moves on ]
