Katherine and Paul ran into the hospital, after getting out their different cars.
"How could you not delete the video?" She asked him as they waited for the elevator to reach it's destination.
"I'm sorry, I was miraculously meant to know you actually threatened Patricia Lee? I already told you, it isn't like you! It's not something I could've predicted." He yelled.
Katherine panted as she looked at him, "It'll be fine. Nothing would happen, we will just go and delete the video okay?"
He just glared at her and said nothing. As elevator door opened the ran out and to the camera room.
Katherine gasped as she saw the blood that was spreading from under the door.
Paul ran and pushed the door open before she could warn him and when she heard him scream, she ran in after him.
Gasping, she covered her mouth her hand as she saw the bloodied man bleeding out on the floor in front of her. Paul was already on his knees and calling out his name.
She ran to him as well, checking his pulse and his eyes. "He has a faint heartbeat." As soon as she said so, Steve's eyes opened slightly and he tried to speak.
"No, no no don't speak you'll hurt yourself. Don't worry it'll be alright." Paul soothed the man lying on the floor.
Katherine looked at him and shook her head, he wasn't going to make it. He had lost too much blood already and by the look of his wound and the blood at his mouth. The bullet was most likely in his lung.
"No... Dr.. dr... ahhh. My pocket.... check my p-pocket. I-I... I... I'm sorry and I'm.... thankful... I g-got to d-die in.... in.... in the arms of m-m... my crush..." He said with much struggle, coughing out more blood.

"Shhh.... shhh" Paul cried, rocking him in his arms. "Shhhh...."
Katherine looked away as she sobbed silently to herself.
"T-thank you." And with does words he breathed his last.
Paul stated at Steve, he reached shaky arms and closed the dead man's eyes. Placing him gently on the floor he took out his phone. Calling for the stretcher and some doctor he stood up.
Katherine didn't make a move, she didn't leave the ground, she just stared at Steve's dead body in disbelief. She literally saw his annoying face and his melodic voice right before she walked into Patricia's room.
Paul looked at the computer screens, walking over to it he realized it was on repeat. Clutching his fist he dug his nails into his palms and looked at Katherine. "Do you know what this is?" Paul asked.
Katherine turned to look at him, slowly walking over to the computer she gasped. "What does this mean?"
"What do you think it means? It's clearly a message." He sad from between clenched teeth.
"From the person that did this to Steve? Why is it my video?" She asked, scared of the answer she already knew but was afraid to admit to herself.
Paul threw his phone at the wall and Katherine flinched as it shattered. "Damn it Katherine! Are you playing dumb or are just dense!!" He screamed.
Katherine looked up at him with shock.
"Fuck! Katherine. I told you, we warned you guys. Now look! You're clearly their next target." He yelled. He moved to her and grabbed her shoulder. "Do you realize the kind of danger you've put yourself in!" He screamed at her, shaking her with each syllable that came out of his mouth.
"Look there, look!" He pointed to Steve. "The only thing he did was do his job, you guys...

your recklessness killed that man. Do you not realise? Look at what they did to someone, an innocent person. What the hell do you think they will do to you Katherine!" He screamed.
Katherine blinked at him unable to control her emotions, she bit her lip and tried to stifle the sobs, but her tears? They fell freely they was no stopping that. Even Paul cried as he yelled at her.
"How the hell I'm I supposed to protect you when you throw yourself I harms way like this?!" He yelled.
"I killed him" She said softly. "I killed Steve, I did it" She cried. "I should've minded my business and not gotten involved. You're right, I should've stayed away. I should've stayed away!" She screamed the sobs breaking out in a distorted cry. She clutched Paul's shirt and cried into it.
"I killed him! You're right, I'm nothing, I'm just a pushover and... I should remain on the ground where I belong. I'm nothing" She cried.
"You're not nothing Katherine, you're not. You are everything, everything a person should be. You're so righteous and kind, you saw an innocent person being hurt and you went to help. You have the most beautiful heart I've ever seen in my life. Don't ever say that. And you didn't kill Steve, the Lee's did. Don't blame yourself." He said.
Holding her close and she wept into his shirt. "I'm so sorry, I should've listened to you. I'm so sorry, gosh I'm a horrible person, I'm selfish and horrible." She sobbed.
Paul bit his lip and struggled to contain the rage that burned his insides, rage for his friend lying lifeless and most if all, the heartbreak and anger that burned even brighter every time Katherine shivered against himself with a body wracking sob.
"Now Katherine I have to delete this video before the stretcher comes." He whispered in her ear.
"Don't. Let them arrest me. I deserve to go to jail for this, it's justice for Steve." She said.
Paul held her face and stared directly into her eyes. "Hey look at me" he said. "You didn't kill Steve, Patricia probably did. Now look, you didn't do anything wrong. You defended you colleague there nothing wrong about that. I promise we are going to get justice for Steve, justice from the exact person that took his life. Do you understand me?" She looked at him, guilt still very much evident in her eyes. She tried to look away again but he wouldn't let her.
"Hey, hey. You didn't do anything wrong. Trust me okay?" He said.
He turned around and walked to the computer, deleting her footage and exchanging it for a four minute loop of Patricia sleeping.
Soon the stretcher came and took Steve out of the room. Holding on to Katherine, they left the room they entered in haste. Stained with blood.
