DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the characters or storylines contained within this FF (*sigh*). All rights go to the CW and it's wonderful writers. May I one day be able to right such jawdropping storylines. Basically, if you recognize it. I don't own it.
NOTE: THIS IS A REWRITE of select scenes from 3x05 Catch Me If You Cannon until around the middle of Chapter 2, which will be posted soon. I've only dones this to build up to my story. Again, the first chapter is a REWRITE. So, yes if you've seen the episode it will look very familiar. I will be adding the continuation to post 3x05, again just building up my story. I have however added my own dialogue, paraphrased other dialogue and added my own thoughts and ideas to the scenes (What can I say? I enjoy creativity.) Title. Yes, it's cheesy I'm aware, but read it. It fits.
Devise. Lies. Surprise
Chapter One
"I have a plan"
It was simple. Get Cannon to meet Silver at a hotel, hide a webcam and catch him in the act. If executed properly, they'd have him incarcerated faster than you could say pathological liar. Silver's laptop made a small dinging noise indicating Cannon's arrival in the student-teacher chatroom, mainly used between the senior advisers and seniors. Silver and her two best friends Naomi and Adrianna, huddled close together around the laptop deciding the perfect way to subtly lure Miles Cannon to the hotel later that night, finally putting an end to his seemingly flawless rape of Naomi Clark. It was time he paid for what he did.
"Put three dots on the end," advised Adrianna with a sly schoolgirl grin as Silver typed her messages to Mr Cannon. "Dots always make things sound juicier."
Silver complied and typed:
SILVER: I'm staying at the Villas at Sunset – Because my place is being fumigated...
SILVER:Instead of going all the way across town to the school, why don't we meet there? We can order dinner and talk about the project...
"Dot. Dot. Dot." Silver said with a grin then hit the enter key. The three girls giggled and waited intently for Cannon's next response. Seconds went by. Then minutes.
"I shouldn't have used the dots." Silver said regretfully
*Ding.*
CANNON: I'll be there.
Silver's dismay faded back into contentment. "We got him." She said with a grin.
"Can you see me?" Silver said into the tiny webcam.
Naomi nodded and said. "Yep, perfectly."
The first part of the plan was complete, Silver had successfully persuaded Cannon to get to the Villas, quite effortlessly. The next plan was to subtly seduce him and allow things to get slightly inappropriate all of which would be caught on tape, and closely monitored by Adrianna and Naomi. Silver took a deep breath and nodded. "Okay, so I'll let him get a little inappropriate then tell him I'm not feeling well..." Silver paused and pressed her lips together. "And if things get too crazy, you guys'll come in?"
"Absolutely." The girls said in unison.
Once everything was complete, Naomi stepped over to her best friend with a look of caution and appreciation. "Thanks so much for doing this for me."
"Of course."
Naomi embraced Silver and whispered. "Be careful, Sil."
Silver nodded, returning the hug. "I will."
Naomi pulled back and gave her friend a small confident nod, "We'll be right in there, okay? If you need anything." With that her and Adrianna stepped into the adjoining room, anxiously awaiting Cannon to arrive, but not as anxiously as Silver. She paced around the hotel room. The plan was flawless – hopefully. A knock at the door, both startled and relieved her. She wanted this to go as quickly and smoothly as possible. She took a deep breath, "It's open." She called out to the closed door, hearing it open she said, "I'll be out in a minute, make yourself comfortable." She gave herself a nod of approval in the bathroom mirror and stepped outside. "I can't tell you how excited I am to work on this proj-..." Silver trailed off and the color in her face drained.
Standing before her was not only Miles Cannon but the principal and school therapist.
"I grew concerned when you suggested we meet here. So I called Principal Nowak. Have you met Ms. Henry?" He asked glancing toward the woman on his right. "The school therapist."
"This isn't what it looks like" Silver quickly defended.
"You invited Mr Cannon to meet you at a hotel which is beyond inappropriate." Principal Nowak's face grew from confusion to concern. "Given your medical history..."
There it was.
"I had no idea," Cannon chimed in. "that you were bipolar. If I'd known maybe I would've seen the signs sooner. I'm so sorry"
Silver's cerulean eyes narrowed in confusion, making them turn a shade of dark gray. "No. No that's not what this is..."
It was Ms. Henry's turn to speak. "Silver." She said oh-so-carefully in that typical therapist way. "We think you may be having another breakdown"
Before Ms. Henry could finish Silver jumped up to defend herself. "I'm not." She said firmly.
"Have you been taking your medication?" chimed in Ms. Nowak
"Of course." Silver replied, with a touch of irritation in her voice. "That has nothing to do with this. It's him!" She cried, lifting an accusatory finger at Mr. Cannon. "He's been acting all weird around me. He..he's been inappropriate with me."
"That chatroom is monitored by the school board." Ms. Nowak explained. "We have the transcripts from the chat Miss Silver, you clearly propositioned him."
Silver was trapped now, she began tripping over her words, trying to find away to defend herself but also careful not to betray Naomi's trust. "That's because h-he.. he..."
"This is bad." Adrianna said, wide eyed with fear as her and Naomi watched on Silver's laptop from the next room. "So bad." Naomi echoed as she flashed back to the night she tried to tell Silver about Cannon, the way she'd stammered and stuttered. A way that mimicked Silver's own voice right now. Oh God, Silver don't tell. Please don't tell.
"He..." Silver stared at Cannon, his eyes cold and dark.
"He what?" Ms. Nowak guided.
Silver sighed in defeat, shaking her head. "I don't know.." She said quietly, lowering her head.
Ms Nowak and Ms Henry exchanged worried glances and gave each other a small nod. "In light of your condition, we're not going to take disciplinary action. But we will be contacting your family."
Kelly! Silver thought to herself. Shit! Shit! Shit!
"And you will be required to attend regular counseling sessions."
"Silver." Cannon said smugly. "We just want to help you."
She couldn't help but notice the snide grin that had formed in the corners of his mouth. A grin that should have scared her, but it didn't. Her fear was masked completely by an overwhelming amount of rage.
A/N: Alright, like I said, rewrite. Yes it was intended. No I'm not trying to rip off the CW. The next chapter is where my storyline comes into play. Thanks for reading.
