Chapter 3

Summary
Scott is woken up by Fred who tells him that Rubio was found in his bedroom having commited suicide. Scott is shocked by this and begins to ask Fred about it, but Fred tells him that it's best if he sees Rubio's body for himself

Scott and Fred observe Rubio's body from a distance inside the penthouse and it appears to be an open and shut case, there's a note and a gun was found in his mouth. Scott asks a few of the other people observing Rubio if they can have some space alone with him to mourn him in peace, lying that Scott and Rubio had a very close connection. After everyone leaves, Fred begins to leave as well but Scott stops him without using any words and walks him over to Rubio. Thinking to himself that the whole thing was suspicious, and that Rubio seemed to satisified with life to have commited suicide.

Scott covers his hand with his sleeve and takes the gun out of Rubio's mouth reluctantly, and turns to Fred asking him to remove the magazine as he doesn't know how to. While Fred does that, he climbs up onto the bed and shines a lamp into Rubio's mouth, as Fred says aloud that these magazines hold twelve bullets and this one has ten in it, and Scott turns to him and tells Fred that there's two bullets in Fred's mouth, then takes the gun and magazine and puts it back together, then places the firearm back into Rubio's mouth.

Napoleon watches Rubio's body be lowered into the ground at his funeral, and smiles to himself. Scott walks over to Napoleon at the funeral carrying an umbrella, and lets Napoleon under it due to it raining. Napoleon and Scott dance around the details of Rubio's death, until Scott finally admits boldly that Rubio had two bullets in his mouth and asks him about it. Napoleon is secretly shocked by this as shown by his internal dialogue, saying that Rubio's death was supposed to be clean and there shouldn't have been anything wrong in it. Rubio tells Scott quickly that perhaps the first bullet didn't work quickly, and then walks away.

Napoleon knocks on the door of a moderately large house in a richer neighborhood of Las Vegas, no response. Napoleon then walks over to a trash can, lifts up the lid, then walks over to one of the windows and smashes it. After smashing it, he places the lid over the shattered glass as to not cut himself, then opens the door into Ejido's room to see him laying down in bed with a mask covering his eyes and two hands behind his head. Ejido tells Napoleon that he's busy, Napoleon tells him that there was two bullets in Ejido's head instead of just one. Ejido tells him not to worry about it, nobody will notice. Napoleon tells him Scott Green noticed and has no idea who else he told. Ejido lifts his mask and seems scared by this.

Napoleon walks over to Ejido's computer and types a few things into it, until he pulls up camera footage of Rubio's room. First showing how Ejido killed Rubio, he does it very nervously and fires twice fearfully, and then showing both Scott and Fred finding out about the situation. Ejido discusses what they should do with them while Ejido goes over the footage, following all of Scott's actions and ignoring Ejido. Napoleon tells Ejido that it seems Scott only told Fred and Napoleon himself. Ejido asks if those cameras are footage from earlier in the day, where's Scott now?

Scott is in his room, and admits to himself that he hasn't told anyone but Napoleon and Fred, then calls himself a dumbass for telling Napoleon and this was deeper than just a suicide. Scott begins to pack his bags to leave Las Vegas, but once he opens the door Napoleon is standing there directly in front of Scott, blocking him leaving. Napoleon smiles and asks Scott about how he knew that there two bullets in Rubio's skull. Scott sighs deeply, and then tells Napoleon that if Napoleon lets Scott leave right now and gets him a flight to Sacramento, he won't tell a soul. Napoleon seems suspicious of Scott, and asks him why he should trust him. Scott tells him that he doesn't have much of a choice, and tells Napoleon that he's a dumbass boldly. If Napoleon had seemed sad at Rubio's death, and investigated thw two bullets rather than trying to cover it up by attempting to strongarm Scott into silence, then Napoleon could have gotten away with it.

Napoleon and Scott have a staredown for a few seconds, and Napoleon cracks and breaks eye contacts and looks down, sighing heavily, then asks Scott if he has his word that if right now, he calls Scott a taxi to the airport and gets him a ride home, Scott won't tell a soul. Scott tells him absolutely, Napoleon and Scott continue eye contact for about half a second, then Napoleon turns around and whistles down a taxi for him. After that, Napoleon makes a phone call right in front of Scott to the airport and says that when Scott arrives they are to send him home the second he gets there.

The second Scott gets in his taxi, he leans forward and shuts the latch that prevents the Taxi Driver from hearing Scott, and calls Valentine immediately and tells her that Rubio's suicide was faked.
