Disclaimers: I don't own nothing (bar the rabbit suit!)

I looked up again after realising that while my thoughts were running away, Scotty was still sitting there watching me and waiting. His eyes looking at me filled with emotions I hadn't seen in anyone before. Tearing my eyes away from his, I gave Scotty's hand a squeeze before nodding slightly. He understood my signal and without turning away from me, made his way to the door. I met his eyes one more time before he disappeared from view.

I could still hear the knocking even as Scotty yelled in response to it. I pulled my knees up to my chest and sunk back as far as I could into the couch. Why I'd come to Scotty's I didn't know. He didn't deserve to be involved in this. Why did I drag him into my broken and complicated life? I rested my head on my knees and let a few tears make their way down my cheeks. What had gone wrong?

Scotty's POV

I walked to the door not knowing what to expect. I've never, ever seen Lilly this way. She has always been so strong and I could count on one hand, the number of times I've seen her cry. I really just wanted to kill whoever did this to her.

I stood just in front of the door for a second to prepare myself for what I was going to face on the other side. It didn't help my state of mind that the knocking still hadn't stopped. Taking a deep breath, I yanked the door open about 30 centimetres. What I was greeted with made me freeze. There standing in my doorway was a person in a rabbit suit. Looking the "rabbit" up and down, I had a sudden urge to laugh but as soon as I thought of Lilly sitting on my couch, my guard came up again.

Obviously I wasn't the person this "rabbit" expected to see because it took the thing a while to speak and the first time it did, I didn't even hear what it said. The voice sounded as though it had sucked up a whole heap of helium. You know that high pitch squeak you make when at a show, you decide to suck all the helium out of a balloon. Well that's exactly what this voice sounded like.

"Did you hear what I said?" It asked me, sounding slightly angry but really high pitched at the same time.

I shook my head slightly and decided to question this rabbit and find out exactly what's going on here. "What do you want?" I asked the thing in a stern voice.

"Where's that lovely Detective Rush?" It repeated this time in a lower squeak.

"What's that got to do with you?" I asked, now gamer to speak my mind with this creature.

The "rabbit" giggled and reached behind him and the next thing I knew, there was a gun getting shoved into my face. "Take me to her or else!"
