Emily looked at Harper stunned.  She could not believe Harper had saved her from Mark's unwanted sexual advance.
Both girls had a decision to make.
DISPOSAL OF CAPITULO
Mark was dragged outside by the two he was still unconscious but likely had bleeding on the brain.
They drove out to the desert where they would make a decision that forever change their lives.
Harper told Emily if Mark lived then it was the end for both of them he had connections that would see them both killed for what had happened.
It was here she asked Emily to open the glove box of the Vehicle which revealed a six shooter colt revolver, Marks gun.
Emily began to weep but Harper took the gun and left the vehicle.
She opened the trunk and aimed the gun at Mark and shot him twice in the chest.  It was out of anger and rage from the abuse and neglect he had given her. She pulled out her phone and dialed a number.
she then passed the gun to Emily and said "Zack is on his way".
Zack arrived and was pissed he knew what this meant, but he knew he could not abandon his sister.  He agreed with Harper and Emily they should bury the body and that they did and as they tossed him in the shallow grave, he let off a slight groan...he was still alive.
Emily still holding the gun panicked and without hesitation fired the rest of the bullets into Mark's face killing him.
The body was covered and the three left the desert.
Mark was reported missing and as time went on more and more people began to suspect foul play.  They blamed Zack and the crime syndicate began to worry as it attracted police.  The reason being....Mark was in fact a police informant.
