Rafael bumped Seth, accidentally, on the way out to the living room. When he did, he was able to pocket Seth's automatic pistol. It was not an easy thing to pickpocket, but Rafael was a master at his trade. He sat on the couch next to the witness, his new pistol hidden in one pocket, and asked,

"What are you watching?"

"Naked Gun. I've always enjoyed this movie. I figured that I could use a laugh or two." Liz told him with a smile. She was complete relaxed. She was glad Rafael had been assigned to her. He was very easy pay going. Unlike his partner he didn't make being a witness stressful. She appreciated Seth taking his job seriously. With the mob after her it was good to have someone like him with her, but his intensity made her uncomfortable.

Rafael decided it was time to make his move. He reached into his pocket and withdrew a pair of gloves. Next he palmed the pistol and then pointed it at the floor, before backed slowly off of the couch and standing. "I'm sorry it has to be this way Liz. I really did like you, you know? Try not to take it personally." He raised the pistol and pointed it at her chest.

Liz stared at Rafael in disbelief. "Why?" She asked. She didn't expect an answer. She was pretty sure that she knew why he was going to shoot her. He was connected to her husband's gang. She closed her eyes. She wandered if Seth knew that his partner was a trader. She wished Seth was in the room now. He needed to know that he couldn't trust his partner. Liz didn't scream or panic. She took a deep breath calmly called out. "Seth I need you."

Seth came out of the kitchen, and stopped short when he saw Rafael pointing the gun on their witness. "What the Hell are you doing Mr. Ojeda?" He asked calmly, as he drew his pistol and pointed it at Rafael.

"If you shoot me, I will still be able to shoot her," pointed out Rafael. "Now drop your firearm."

"I don't think so." Seth aimed down the barrel of his pistol, ready to take the shot. There was little choice. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and the the sound of wood splintering, as the door swung inwards.

Liz stood frozen. She couldn't seem to move. Her body shook with fear as the Rafael threatened her with his gun. When Seth joined them and calmly aimed his gun at his partner, Liz finally got her mind to start functioning. She had sworn to never be helpless again. She wasnt going to take away her life like this. She had to do something. When the door burst opening Liz nearly screamed. Instead she took the oppurtunity to act. She dropped to the ground. She rushed towards Seth as quickly as she could.

Seth saw two more gunmen coming in through the door. They were obviously mobsters, in league with Rafael. Rafael sent a shot at him, and Seth ducked and dived behind a small coffee table, before sending a shot at one of the gangsters coming through the door. The shot was true and the man fell, but it was still two against one and things weren't looking in favor of the good guys. He pulled the witness the rest of the way behind him and covered her body with his, even as he aimed another shot, this time at Rafael, who was bringing his gun to bare on the fleeing form of the witness.

Liz didn't know what to do. She wanted to help Seth but she didn't know how. She hid behind him. She had never felt so useless in her life. She wished that she had a gun. Even she had never held a gun she would be able to sho at the guys after her. "What can I do?" Liz asked. She couldn't just stand there. She wanted to take charge of her life. She wasn't just going just sit back anymore.

Seth barely paused his his activities, but said. "Crawl back into the kitchen. You'll be safer there and my extra pistol is on the counter. I just finished cleaning it. There is a safety, but then you just point and shoot." He took another shot at the remaining gangster, while Rafael continued to pin him down from behind the couch.

Liz nodded. She crawled to the kitchen as quickly as she could. She was relieved to have something to do. Once she was in the kitchen looked around for the gun. It was right on the table. She grabbed the gun. She held it awkwardly. She didn't know what she was doing but she was glad to actually be doing something. Liz opened the kitchen door and began firing. She didn't other trying to aim. She knew it wouldn't do any good.

Seth almost regretted his decision when a random hail of gun fire came out from the kitchen doorway. Suddenly, the other gangster flew backwards, with a bullet between his eyes. Seth used the confusion to fly out from behind the couch, and tackle Rafael. He slammed into his body, as he flew over the couch, and barely missed being shot himself. What followed with a fight like none he had ever been in before. Rafael fought like a caged animal, swinging his pistol like a club. It hit Seth in the side of his head, barely missing knocking him out altogether. He managed to stay on his feet, as Rafael brought his gun up to finish him off.

Liz knew she had only one chance. If she missed Seth was dead. While he hadnt been the nicest man she had ever met, at least he hadn't tried to kill her. Liz knew she could never make the shot. Which left only one thing that she could do. Liz raced from the kitchen. She used her slight weight to tackle Rafael. She knew that she couldn't take him down but maybe the distraction would be enough for Seth to get the upper hand.

As Rafael went down under the flying Liz, he smacked his head against the floor with a plunk. Seth pulled her off of Rafael, and flipped him onto his stomach and used a quick tie to tie his hands together. Still pointing his gun at Rafael, he backed up.

Rafael slowly came to and started muttering, his face against the floor. "You'll never survive. They already think your the traitor. There are more of us in the agency than you know. You will never keep her safe."

Liz couldn't believe Rafael's words. She knew her ex was connected but couldn't belive that there were several traders in the agency. Surely the FBI was better at screening then than that. Still his words terrified her. She would never be safe. She looked at Seth. Was he the only one she could trust. Could she trust him? She slowly bscked away from them. She didn't know what to believe. What was she going to do now?

Seth thought quickly. "I don't know how much of this is true and how much is a lie, but we need to get out of here now and find a new place to hide you until the trial. Do you trust me?" He knew that he had been rather cold toward her, but surely they needed to rely on each other now. He quickly searched Rafael for any other weapons and then collected the weapons from the dead gangsters.

"Yes I trust you." Liz tokds him. She didn't have much choice. She didn't have anyone else. He might be cold and single minded. But at least so far he had been honest. He had done his best too protect her. If she wanted to live she had to put her life in his hands.
