DISCLAIMER: I don't own the detectives


[Confession]


Present Day

Lilly walked into the office and jumped when Scotty ran towards her. "Turn around," he motioned for the door and she looked at him, her hand waving the cup of coffee that she hadn't drunk yet. "Rush, there's a guy on the bridge threatening to jump."

"And since when did we do suicide calls?" She asked seriously taking a swig of her coffee and stared after him, her eyebrows raised as she waited for his answer. They'd stopped doing live cases for a while now due to her obsession with helping the dead and their cold cases so him rushing her outside was actually really confusing.

"Since the guy threatening to jump says he'll only come down if he can talk to you," she looked over at him before putting the mug down on a table.

"Okay I'm ready to go now," she said moving through the doors and deciding that she had no idea how she was going to handle this.


Moving to the bridge, Lilly saw the guy stood on the wrong side of the bridge. She moved over to the uniformed officer and asked what they had. He explained that they'd had a phone call in an hour previously saying that a man was showing signs of unusual behaviour on the bridge and by the time they'd got to the bridge, he was threatening to jump unless he could talk to a detective Lilly Rush. She started to move towards the man and he immediately stiffened.

"Come any closer and I'll jump," he said calmly and she just continued walking but with her hand out to keep him calm.

"I'm detective Lilly Rush, you asked to see me?" She said softly before arriving so that she was stood only a few steps away from him. "How can I help you," she paused waiting for him to fill her in on his name.

"My name is Nate," he said softly before looking down at the water. "Several years ago, my ex-girlfriend was found in the water dead and it was ruled as a suicide." He took a deep breath and looked over at Lilly again. She noticed the tears falling down his face. "I don't think it was."

"Did you think that threatening to jump would be the only way we'd listen?" She whispered softly moving even closer, her hands now grasping to the railing as she looked down at the water. "What was your girlfriend called?" She asked deciding to distract him from thinking that it was his fault.

"Leigh MacKenzie," he said softly and he looked down at the water. "We weren't together anymore much to the joy of her two friends but we had a close friendship even though we had decided to end the relationship." He looked over at Lilly, a sad smile decorating his face. "I was diagnosed with Schizophrenia and I told her. She was going to be there for me." More tears slid down his face as he laughed, "she'd have been the only person there for me because even my parents deserted me afterwards."

Lilly felt her heart sink. He'd been alone since the girlfriend's death and it looked like something had triggered him into this crazy act. "Nate, can you come over here and we'll go talk back at the precinct?"

"I did it." He whispered softly, looking down at the water. "I killed her." Lilly stared at him in shock, her hand taking hold of his wrist in fear that he was going to jump.
