Green and Briscoe walked aboard the ship. They wanted to get this case on the road quick.

"Officers, I have some witnesses." A cop walked over to Briscoe and Green, and led them towards the Sky Deck.

"Nice place," Briscoe muttered.

"Yeah, well it is Tipton's ship," replied Green.

They walked up to the Sky Deck, where they saw three teenage boys. One was very wide and "full-figured", the other two were obviously twins and the taller twin was in tears.

Green nodded at Briscoe, and they walked over to the teenagers.

"Boys, I'm Detective Briscoe, and this is Detective Green. We'd like to talk to you," Briscoe said gently.

The three nodded, and the detectives began detecting.

"Did anyone hear a gunshot, or see a figure?" Green asked.

The shorter twin and the fat boy shook their heads, but the taller blond twin spoke up.

"I heard the footsteps of a person running away. They must have dropped the body at the top of the stairs and must have made a break for it. They probably are already across town by now, as they could have just jumped into the harbor or onto the cargo ship next to us." The teen covered his face with his hands, and began sobbing again.

The shorter twin then spoke. "I'm Zack Martin, and my twin is named Cody. The other guy is Woody Fink. Listen, can I talk to you for a second?"

Briscoe and Green shrugged their shoulders, and walked with Zack towards the Smoothie Bar.

"Look, my brother had a relationship with Bailey, the victim. They broke up, but they still are in love. I'm afraid he's going to burst if we pressure him. If you want someone to talk to, find me."

Briscoe and Green nodded, and sympathized with the boy. Both had been in situations like this before. Still, they had to ask Zack a couple questions then.

"Did you know anyone who had problems with Bailey?" Green asked.

"Well, sometimes her roommate and her didn't get along. But that was it."

"Who was her roommate?"

"London Tipton. But really, London wouldn't do this. She likes Bailey, although she pretends to hate her."

Briscoe exchanged looks with Green and replied, "We've seen stranger things. Give us a call if you remember anything else."

They thanked Zack, and headed toward the richest girl in all of the world. Luckily, they didn't have to look for her, as she was already looking for them.

A short young Asian woman walked up to them. "Are you guys the cops?"

Briscoe stole a glance from Green. As if their badges and cop hats weren't enough. She was as stupid as the tabloids said. "Yes. London, we'd like to ask you a few questions. You and Bailey didn't get along sometimes, is that correct?"

"Yes, but we were still friends. Farm Girl was my onboard Maddie."

"Well, where were you about an hour ago?"

"At my cabin, sleeping. It's on camera at the main lobby. Wait, you don't think I'm a suspect, do you?"

Briscoe studied the girl. She was dumb, but not that cold-hearted. "We have to rule out everyone. Can you think of anyone who didn't like Bailey?"

London thought for a second. "Well, a lot of girls didn't like her because she used to date Cody, and lots of people think he is hot. I don't get it because he is soo not cute. Now Marcus, he was cute!"

Ed Green cut off London to get back on topic. "Can you name any of the girls?"

"Yeah. Reina Benjamin, and there was this one girl Hillary that came here on vacation from Chicago."

"Thanks. If you remember anything else, give us a call."

The two cops left the room, and their next destination was straight for the hospital, where Bailey was.

(At the hospital)

"We're looking for Bailey Pickett," Briscoe told the nurse at the desk.

"I'm sorry, but she's in critical condition and she is being operated on," the nurse replied.

Green then asked, "Can we find out what happened? We are detectives, and we need to know what happened to her."

The nurse thought about it, and finally said, "I don't see any harm. Miss Pickett was shot twice in her rib cage, but not high enough to go near the heart or low enough to hit the stomach. She is in surgery, and she will probably live. You may speak to her when the doctors say so, but you also are allowed to wait in the waiting room. According to the computer, the surgery is over now and she needs a couple minutes of rest before talking to her. Remember to stay calm and to not pressure the teenager. She just got shot!"

Briscoe and Green nodded, and they were on their way when they saw five teens shoot up to the front desk. The cops recognized everyone their except the Caucasian girl with black long hair.

"We need to see Bailey Pickett!" the teenagers shouted.

"Sorry, she needs rest. I cannot allow you to see her."

"But-"

"Sorry, rules are rules. You can see her in a day or two."

Green tossed Briscoe a look and went to help the teens.

"Nurse, they are with us. Let them in."

The nurse looked apprehensive, but she decided to let the cops do what they wanted and sent the kids on their way.

The shorter twin came up and said to Green, "Thanks for the help."

"No sweat, I've been in that situation before."

The teen nodded grimly, and the two cops and the teens finally reached Bailey's resting room.

"Hold on," the doctor guarding the door said, putting his hands up, "You all can't go in. Three at a time."

Briscoe and Green decided their interrogation could wait, and they let Zack, Cody and London go into the resting room.

(Inside)

Cody was anxious to see Bailey. He missed her terribly, and wanted to talk to her and make sure she was alright. His love of his life was hurt, and he needed some comfort.

"Cody?" was the first thing Bailey said. When her eyes fluttered open, her heart raced, as she saw Cody standing over her, looking like a million bucks.

"We're here Bailey, you're going to be alright."

"It happened so fast, I-"

She burst into tears and Zack, Cody and London pulled her into a group hug. She sobbed for 15 minutes, her friends holding on to her, comforting her. Finally she stopped crying, and reclined on her bed.

"Did they find the bastard who did it?"

Cody bit his lip. "No. The cops are here to ask you questions. But if you're not okay we can tell them to shoo."

Bailey shook her head. She had to be strong and find the criminal who put bullets into her body. She was hurt and angry and loved Cody more than ever, but she had to get this over with.

"Let them in, but can you stay Cody?"

Cody nodded, and laid a comforting hand on her shoulder. Zack and London left, and in came Briscoe and Green.

(Meanwhile, what was happening outside the resting room)

Briscoe and Green, being the masterful cops they were, engaged in conversation with the teenagers next to them.

"So where are you from?" Green asked.

The girl replied, "Well, I'm from right here in New York. Upper West Side."

"Really? What are your parents?"

"My dad used to be a cop and now he is the head of the Madison Garden Security. My mom owns a restaurant (Thanks Man of Faith)."

Green did a quick run through in his mind. He knew the head of Madison Garden Security. "Your dad is Deutch Bennet?"

Maya nodded. "Yes, I'm his daughter Maya."

Green put out his hand and Maya shook. This wouldn't be the first revelation today.

A/N: So that's chapter two, and I hope you enjoyed it. I will post for my other stories, but don't hold your breath. This may be a collaboration, but nothing sure yet. Furthermore, I would like to begin a oneshot challenge. This will feature as many Cailey/Zaya moments as possible, and anyone can enter. All entries must be at least 1000 words, and be focused on Cailey or Zaya or both. Also, these one shots must happen either in the future after graduation, or before graduation after their first break for Cailey. For Cailey, you can have them making up or just reminiscing about each other.
