I don't see this warning to Billie and Shawn anything more than it is. He was saying Billie you were family. I promised I'd be there for you. He is telling Shawn it is time to save yourself tell us where to go. To find Hailey IMO.
Richy said, “Billie, I have known you for a long time girl. I told you when all of this started that if you needed anything I would help you if I could. And you never did ask.
“If you’d just told us what was going on, told us the truth, told us how things went, what all’s going on, we would have been there for you.
To Shawn
“You need to move. Tell us where we need to go or do something to protect yourself because it’s not looking good.
To me he is saying you both have had your chance. I'm calling you out. Tell us where Hailey is. It is a threat. I don't want anyone hurt but I'm going to protect Clint and Hailey. Nothing more than a protective instinct that Clint needs answers and Hailey needs to come home is all that is in my opinion. IMO he was calling them out saying someone had better talk. He thinks they are involved and he is going to protect Clint and Hailey he is on their team to find out what happened.
“I don’t want any harm to come to anyone but I’ll protect Hailey and I’ll protect Clint before I’ll save a hair off either one of you,” Richy said.
He is saying stop messing with the family and Clint and Hailey are his family and I'm going to protect them from what you did and or are covering up.
This also says to me, that since the very beginning he felt Billie knew something.
“Billie, I have known you for a long time girl. I told you when all of this started that if you needed anything I would help you if I could. And you never did ask.
“And I know a lot of times that you’ve come up on in these last few months that you needed some help and you never once asked me. You never once asked any of us.
“If you’d just told us what was going on, told us the truth, told us how things went, what all’s going on, we would have been there for you.
