So I'll most likely have more time to write then until next time, through, enjoy this chapter :D)

Previously on When I'm Gone.

" If this is why you want me to come down here. We're done."Stephen said as he began to get up to leave, but Brendan stops him by grabbing his hand.

"I swear on my children's lives, Stephen. I DID NOT kill Rae, Silas Blissett is setting me up."

Chapter Two Lies

" What?" Stephen asked.

"Silas is the real murderer." Brendan stated while still maintaining the grip he had on Stephen.

"Let go of me." Ste demanded.

"Not until you sit down and hear me out."

Just then one of the guard came up to the two men and asked, " Is there a problem here?" Brendan let go of Ste's hand and leaned back in his chair.

" Not all. Right, Ste?" Brendan asked while glaring him in down. Stephen was hesitant to say anything at first, and Brendan could see that. "Stephen, tell the man that we're just having a nice chat."

" Um… yeah everything is fine." Stephen said.

" Are you sure?" the guard asked again.

"Yeah." He replied as he took a seat again.

" Watch yourself, Brady." The guard warned.

'Yup." Brendan replied without even looking at the prison guard. The guard left the two men to talk.

" Thank you."

" Don't thank me, Brendan. I'm only staying because I want to know why you think Silas is the real murder?"

"I know I sound crazy by saying this, and I thought the same when Lynsey was trying to convince me of it."

'Well I'm glad you know it's crazy, Brendan."

"Don't let his age fool you, Stephen. The man is a psycho."

"Why would that old man have any reason to kill Rae and all other those woman?"

" Hints the word psycho, Ste. Who knows what is going through that mind."

" Do you really think I am buying this?"

" Stephen, look if you don't believe me then go ask Lynsey, she'll tell ya." Brendan told him. At the moment, Ste looked into Brendan's eyes and that he was being sincere.

"Even if you're telling the truth, what are you going to do about it? If Silas is this psycho killer and he's setting you up. You're going to need evidence."
" I know I'm working on that."

" For here?"

"Stephen, you know me I have my ways." Brendan stated.

"What is that supposed to mean?"

"Don't worry about it."

"That's easier said that."

"Just trust me."

"I did that once before and look where that got me." Stephen simply stated.

"I'm sorry."

"You're always sorry, Brendan."

Brendan ignored Stephen's last comment, "So, are you going to see Lynsey?" Before Ste could answer they were interrupted again by another prison guard, "Visiting hours are over, wrap it up." He called out to everyone that was in the room.

Ste got up from the chair, " I don't know." He said in response to Brendan's question.

" You believe me though, right?"

" I'll see later, Brendan. Take care of yourself." Ste said as he walked away toward the exit.

"Stephen, wait will ya?" Brendan called out to the brunette haired man, but Stephen kept on walking away. One the guards came up to Brendan and started pushing him out of the visiting room. " Come on, let's go, back to your cell you go." The elderly man stated.

Stephen couldn't get out the prison fast enough. He was so confused by what Brendan had told him, 'Could anything Brendan told me be true?' he asked himself. Why did Brendan Brady have this hold on him, it drove him crazy. Brendan didn't have to say much to get Stephen to do what he wanted. This time though, Stephen had a feeling that Brendan wasn't trying to mess with his head. After his conversation with him, Ste could see that Brendan was trying to get him to believe him. If Brendan was telling him the truth, and if Silas is this psycho killer that Brendan was saying he was, what could he do about it? 'Should you to see Lynsey?' he asked himself. 'What could she possible tell me? What that Brendan Brady innocent? And if she does so what there is evidence against Brendan. He's the one who kill my best mate and all those other women! Right?' He kept on asking this for hours. I felt so confused, and it was because of Brendan. He had two options. Option one, go see Lynsey and ask her about what she know about Silas or option two, do nothing and forget about this 'Silas' business and risk letting what may be a innocent man serve time in jail for a crime didn't commit.

An hour had past and Ste found himself in front of Brendan flat. Pacing back and forth debating on whether he should knock or not. 'Okay. You here now just knock." He told himself as he stand in front of the door. He raises his left hand, formed it into a fist, but he could make himself knock. ' I'm such an idiot. What if Brendan is lying to me, and if I go ask Lynsey about Silas? She probably not going to know what the hell I'm talking about…but what if Brendan is telling the truth?" Suddenly, Ste could here a man and woman fighting. Ste know those voice it was Lynsey fighting Silas. Ste slow made his way to the staircase and peered over to see the two.

Ste could see Silas pulling Lynsey closer to him and whispered something to Lynsey

"I swear to God, Silas. If it's the last thing I do, I'm going to expose you to everyone in this town as the true psycho that you are."

Before Silas had response he had notice that Stephen had been watch and went straight into the inoncent old man act, "Lynsey, Dear what is the matter with you here I was thinking we moving past all this Murder nonsense. I thought that was clear with the police arrested Brendan Brady for the murders."

"You Bastard your setting Brendan up…." Lynsey said as she slapped Silas across the face. Stephen at that point quickly headed down the stairs and ran over to the two. " Lynsey!" He called out. Lyns and Silas and Lynsey turned their attention toward the voice. When Stephen got close enough he asked, " Is everything okay?" he asked the young woman. Before Lynsey could answer Silas jumped in, " Of course everything is fine…Stephen is it?"

"I don't think I was asking you now was I?"

"Ste what are you doing here?" Lyns asked him as slow pushed Ste away from Silas.

" I need to speak with you."

"What about?"

"It's something Brendan told me."

"You've been to see Brendan?" She questioned.

"Yeah, I was there about an hour again."

"Okay, let go up to the flat." She said as she guided Ste toward the stairs.

"Oh Lynsey, Dear, before you go quick word." Silas said. Lynsey and Ste both stopped dead in their tracks and Lynsey turn to face Silas. " What do you want now, Silas?"

"In private."

Lynsey was hesitant at first, but then turned to Ste and handed him her keys, " Take my keys let yourself into the flat and put on the kettle I'll be up in minutes."

"Are you sure you want to be left alone with him?" Ste asked.

"I'll be fine just going, okay." Lyns stated as she watch Ste walk up the stair and around the corner. She walked back over to Silas, "What the hell do you want?"

"We never did finish our conversation. It would be rude if we left it like that now would it?"

"As far as I'm concern, Silas, we're done." Lynsey stated as she began to walk away again.

"Oh Lynsey dear one more thing…" Lynsey stop walking and Silas talking. "Let's just keep our little game to ourselves we wouldn't want anyone ruining all our fun."

Lynsey turned and faced Silas, "What's wrong you afraid that if I tell Ste everything he believe what I'm tell him?"

" No, it's just I would hate to see something bad happen to him he seems like a good lad."

" Are you threatening his life?"

"Take it as you will, Dear."

"You know if you hurt him. Brendan will come after ya."

"Lynsey do you really think I'm afraid of him?" Silas asked with an evil laugh. " I trust you'll make the right choice?" He asked as he walked away from the young woman.

Lynsey quickly pulled her self together and headed up to her flat. Once she was in the loft she closed the door behind her and locked all three locks that were on it. She paused for a second and let out a sigh of relief and turns her attention toward Stephen who was walking into the living room with two mugs of tea in each hand. She walks over to Stephen and took one of the mugs from Ste's hand. Ste placed his cup on the coffee table and they both took a seat on the couch.

" Wow, that was quick did you find everything okay?"

" Yeah…ugh…you forget that I've been here before."

"Right, yea." She said with a faint smile. "So you went to see, Brendan?"

"Yup." Ste said as he picks his cup up and took a sip then place back on to the table again.

"How did it go?"

Ste let out a sigh then a laugh, "He told me he was innocent."

Just then Silas' word began replaying in Lynsey's mind, 'Let's just keep our little game to ourselves, ourselves, ourselves…' "Really?" She asked as if she was listening to the man who was sitting right next to her.

"Yeah," Stephen continued. "And he told me that…."he paused as he realize Lynsey's mind was somewhere else. " Lyns?" he questioned.

Lynsey who had return back to the conversation the Ste and her were having, "What?" she asked.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, why?"

"This is about Silas isn't it?"

" What no…" She lied.

"What was going on with you and him earlier?"

Silas' words rang out in Lyns' mind again, 'I would hate to see something bad happen to him he seems like a good lad.' " It was nothing, Ste." she lied

" Are you sure?"

"Yes, now let's stop talking about Silas and get back to why you wanted to speak with me, what was that Brendan told you?"

"Uh…well it kind of has to do with Silas."

"It does?" Lynsey asked as if she was shocked.

" Yeah, Brendan thinks Silas is setting him up, and from what I heard earlier you think the same. So does that mean Brendan is telling the truth?" Ste asked.

Will Lynsey tell Stephen the truth or will she be forced to lie to him?

Meanwhile at Chez Chez, with the 'Double B' in prison things have sure been quite around the bar, could 'Foxy' and Mitzeee be up to no good?

Later, Amy may have some news for our dear Stephen.

Plus, Silas picks his new target. Could it be Stephen? All this and more on the next chapter of When I'm Gone.

Stay tuned. ; D
