Jessica was walking down the street. She was thinking long and hard about Veronica told her about reopening Lincoln's case. She finally forgave her sister for kissing Linc but she wasn't sure if she was ready to forgive him. She felt her phone buzz in her pocket. She looked at the caller ID and seen it was Veronica. "Hello." she said into the phone answering it. "Hey. I know you said you didn't want involved but I'm going over to talk to the man that represented Lincoln. I could really use you in this." she rushed over the phone. Jessica sighed before answering. "Fine. Where do you want me to meet you?" Jessica asked her. "I'm heading to the court house I'll meet you there." With that she hung up. Jessica sighed before looking back out into the water.

She met up with Veronica at the door. "Hey." Jessica said as she passed through a medal detector before showing her badge to security. "Hey. I'm so glad you came. I really believe he's innocent and I want to make up for everything that I've done to you." Veronica said to her as they walked down the hall. Jessica stopped and looked at her sister. "I've already forgiven you for that. You don't have to make up for anything." she said to her. Veronica looked at Jessica. "Yes I do. I was the one who ruined your marriage. You would still be happily married if it wasn't for me." Jessica rolled her eyes. "You don't know that we would still be together." she said to her wanting to drop the subject. "Yes I do. Do you want to know why and how I know? Because you two were the perfect forever in love couple. In fact I think you still are. You were made for each other." Veronica said looking at Jessica. Jessica tried not to start crying. "Look let's just find this guy and talk to him and see what he has to say." she says to her harshly and walks off down the hall looking for that guy.

"Excuse me are you Tim Giles who represented Lincoln Burrows?" Veronica asked walking up to a man at the front desk with Jessica tailing behind her. He looked up at the two of them. "If you guys are reporters" he starts but Jessica cuts him off. "We're not reporters I'm his ex wife this is our lawyer." she said getting the guys attention. "Are you Jessica?" he asked her looking at her. "Yeah? How did you know?" she asked confused. "Lincoln mentioned you from time to time, saying how he missed you but e messed up real bad and wished he had you there to support him. The guy was a wreck over you." he said to her. Jessica just looked at him in surprise that Lincoln would even say all that to a complete stranger. "Well look ladies I don't know what to tell you, he was guilty the prosecution was a slam dunk." he informed them. "Was it because it was the vice president's brother?" Veronica asked getting into business mode. "The evidence was there. Lincoln worked for Steadman's company, gets into a public dispute with the guy and gets fired. Two weeks later Steadman is found dead and the murder weapon found in Lincoln's home and blood on his clothes too. There are cases you lose sleep over but this isn't one of them." he said to them before starting to walk away. Jessica ran after him. "What about Crab Simmons? Lincoln said that he could have exonerated him. So why didn't you ever put him on the stand?" Jessica asked while having a million questions in her head. "That man is a five time felon. He has no credibility." he said getting a small attitude with her. "So you won't mind if we happen to pay him a visit?" she said not really asking him. "You two go right ahead but I don't think it will help." he said before walking off to the elevator. Jessica looked at Veronica. "OK. You have me hooked on this because just listening to that story I could tell something wasn't right." Jess said looking at her sister.
***LINCOLN'S POV***
Lincoln was sitting in his cell. He only had a small amount of sunlight coming through. His thoughts kept going to Jessica. She looked really good the other day when he seen her walking away. He kept thinking about one of the last moments he was really truly happy.
He was laying in bed. He was really happy. "It's a strange feeling." he said looking over before deciding to roll over onto his side. "It's hard to explain." He wrapped his arm around the body laying next to him. "My whole life has been crazy and filled with noise." He leaned down and kissed her shoulder lightly. "But now its quiet. Its perfect" he whispered in her ear. "I'm so happy you're my wife." he said as Jess rolled over to face him. She placed her hand on his cheek and rubbed her thumb against his skin. "I'm so happy I'm your wife too." she said with a smile. "I've made a lot of mistakes in my life, but I plan on making everything right." he whispered to her. "I believe in you. I know who you are. You'll do the right thing." she said to him before leaning in and kissing him. This kiss was different. This kiss was slow and sensual and filled with so much love and promise. He pulled away with a smile and reached over and grabbed a camera. "What are you doing?" she asked him laughing. "I want to remember this." he said as he angled the camera. Jess giggled and cover her face. "Come on Jess just one." he begged as she moved her hands from her face and leaned in and kissed him. She wrapped her arm around him and looked at the camera as she leaned her head against his as he snapped the photo.
Lincoln closed his eyes and leaned back against the wall. He wished things were different. He loves Jess so much. Even after two years of not seeing each other he knew she would always be on his mind and in his heart.

Jessica was at her desk at work going through her old files. Jason walked over to her. "Hey I missed you last night I thought you were going to come over." he said sitting down beside her. She didn't lookup from her computer screen. "Sorry I was busy. My sisters and I went out." she said to him finally looking up at him with her glasses on. "That's OK. I tried to catch you this morning too but chief said you had an errand to run." She sighed and gave him a look. "Veronica wanted me to look into something with her what's with the third degree?" she asked him getting irritated with his questioning. "I'm not trying to grill you I promise. I'm just confused why you're spending time with your sister again. I thought you weren't talking." he said confused and trying not to say the wrong thing to her. She went back to her computer and started working on her monthly reporting. She kept typing away at her computer before she decided to answer him. "We decided it was best to put differences aside. We are sisters after all." Jessica said to him giving him a look like she wanted him to quit talking. "Miss Donovan?" she heard someone say. She looked up and there was Mr. Giles from this morning walking up to her with an envelope. "I'm sorry I was short with you this morning. Is there some place private we can go and talk?" he asked her. Jason looked between Jessica and Mr. Giles confused. "Yes." she said standing up. "There's an interrogation room that is empty." she said leading him into a room. She shut the door behind him and turned to face him. "How can I help you?" she asked him. "I wanted to give you this." he said handing her the envelope. "Its the surveillance tape of the garage that night." He said heading around her back to the door. "Since its close to the date I figured that could help you out anyway possible." he said opening the door to leave. "Help with what exactly?" she asked confused. He turned to look back at her. "Closure." he said walking away from the room. She looked at the envelope and opened it up. She pulled the tape out and moved to the TV and VCR. She put the tape in and pressed play. She watched as Terrance Steadman's car pulled up and seen Lincoln walk up to the car with a gun. She seen and heard the gun fire. Her eyes got wide with disbelief. There right there was the evidence that locked him up. But something caught her eye. She watched again as the gun fired. Something about that just didn't seem right. But she knew what she had to do.

Jessica walked into Veronica's office. "Hey." she greeted as she sat down on a chair. Veronica looked up from her computer. "Hey." she said back to her. "What are you doing here?" she asked her backing her chair away from her computer. "Giles paid me a visit. He gave me the tape from the garage the night Lincoln killed Steadman. Its legit but I feel something isn't right." she said to her handing her the tape. "OK? And what do you need me to do?" she asked her. Jessica sighed before continuing. "I need you to go see Lincoln. I will be there just where he can't see me. I need you to find out if he's telling the truth about being innocent." she said to her. Veronica looked at her in surprise. "Why don't you just ask him yourself?" she asked curiously. "Because I can't. I can't look at him without either wanting to punch him in the face or jump his bones through the bars." she said with a laugh. "I need you to do this for me V." she pleaded with her. Veronica sighed before finally nodding. "OK. I'll do it." she said. "But you owe me dinner." she said jokingly. "Jerry's still your favorite?" she asked agreeing to her sister's terms. "Of course." Veronica said with a smile standing up and grabbing her coat and following her sister out of the office.

Jessica stood on the other side of the visitor's room. She was still able to have a perfect view of the cage that they were going to be bringing Lincoln in. She took a deep breath and watched as they brought Lincoln in. Her breath caught and her heart started racing watching him being brought in. Lincoln felt it the instant he was led through. He got that feeling in his stomach he always felt when Jess was nearby. He started to smile thinking that Jess finally decided to visit him. Jess watched as his smile fell from his face when he finally seen who was visiting him. Lincoln could have sworn that it was Jess who was here, not Veronica the sister who was half responsible for ruining his marriage. "Expecting someone else?" Jess heard Veronica ask Lincoln. Jess smirked lightly to herself thankful that her sister wasn't going to take it easy on him. When he didn't say anything she continued. "I think its time to cut the act don't you." she said to him with a glare. "What are you talking about?" he asked confused. "You're starting to ruin peoples' lives." she insulted. Jess almost felt bad with the look on his face. "Michael is in here because he thinks you're innocent. Jess is following up on leads because someone left her a message saying you're innocent." Lincoln looked up at her in surprise. "Jess is trying to prove I'm innocent?" he asked her with hopeful eyes. Jess watched as he asked Veronica that question and her heart broke at the hope he had in his eyes. "She hasn't told me much about it. All she has is a tape which we both watched." she told him "That's not what happened." he denied. "I saw the tape. I know what I saw." she argued back. "I know what I saw. I was there remember." He told her. "I got high that night, I had to. It was the only way I could go through with it. I never pulled the trigger. He was already dead." he told her. Jess watched on as he talked to Veronica. She could tell that he thought he was telling the truth, that he thought he was innocent. "Yea I know you told them that already." she said sarcastically. "Then listen already!" he shouted at her. "I was set up! I was there that night to clear a debt. Crabb Sims was up my ass with the ninety grand I owed him. He said the guy was some scum bag drug dealer and if I took him out I'd be clean." He looked her right in the eye. "I didn't pull the trigger. Someone wanted me in that same garage that night as Terrance Steadman." Veronica was getting fed up. "Why would somebody want to set you up?" she asked sarcastically not believing him. Lincoln stood up getting frustrated. "It wasn't about me it was about him." Veronica looked confused. "Why would it be about Steadman? The guy was a saint. He did charity work. The only person in the world who had motive to kill him was you." Veronica said to him. Lincoln looked at her trying to get her to at least start listening to what he was saying. "Why did you come here Veronica?" he asked her. "Jessica wanted me to find out if you really are innocent or not." she said telling him the truth. "Why didn't Jess come herself?" he asked defeated. "She doesn't believe you Lincoln. She thinks what everyone else thinks." she said to him exaggerating just a bit. "I know that Jessica has her life now. But tell her that if we had was real for her, she will find out the truth." he whispered to her in a defeated voice before getting up and leaving. Jessica watched him leave and walked into the room with Veronica. "So?" she asked Jess who watched Lincoln being led away in handcuffs. She sighed before walking off.
*** Third Person POV***
Tim Giles was walking out of the court house. Two men approached him. "Mr. Giles could we have a moment of your time?" the one asked pulling out a badge. They move over to the side. "Its come to our attention that you have made a foil request on the Burrow's case." Paul Kellerman said getting to the point. "Yeah. So?" Tim said confused on why he was being asked about this case again. "You seem to have made a duplicate of the surveillance tape. You mind telling us why?" Paul asked him. "It was Burrow's ex wife. She came to me saying that he was innocent. So I gave her the tape for closure." He told them. The other FBI officer cut in. "And she is in possession of this tape now?" he asked Tim. "Don't pull that card with me. Its the freedom of information act. She's the ex wife plus a police detective. She's entitled to that tape just as much as you or I." Tim said raising his voice. "Now can I go now?" he asked having enough. "Just one more thing. This ex wife of his what's her name?" Paul Kellerman asked. Tim just looked at them before sighing. "Jessica Donovan."

"Jessica! Hold on! Wait up!" Veronica shouted as she raced across the parking lot to catch up with her sister. Jessica turned to face her with tears coming down her face. "What Veronica?" she shouted at her. "You were right. I kept telling myself that he was guilty and that I did not love him anymore. But listening to him in there. I still love him. I probably always will." she said to her wiping away her tears. "We need to clear something up first. Come with me and if this lead is a dead end then its meant to be." Veronica said leading her to the car. "Where are we going?" Jessica asked. "You'll see." Veronica said starting the car and pulling out of the parking lot.

They pulled up to a house. "Really?" Jessica asked. "You wanna talk to Crabb Sims?" she asked as they got out of the car. "Its the only lead we have." Veronica said racing across the street. "Excuse me is this the Sims residence?" Veronica asked the lady checking the mail. "I'm Miss Sims." she said looking at Veronica before looking at Jessica. "Hi. I'm detective Jessica Donovan, this is my sister Veronica." Jessica said showing the lady her badge. "We're sorry to disturb you but are you related to a Crabb Sims?" She asked pinning her badge back to her belt. "He's my son." the lady said looking at them. "May we talk to him?" Veronica asked. The lady looked at them before walking back up her steps. "No." she head before she reached the door. "Well do you know where we can find him?" Veronica pressed on. "Just go away." she said to them. "Wait." Jessica said stepping up a step. " A man's life could be at stake, an innocent man." Jessica said trying to get her to talk. "Crabb can't talk to nobody, he's dead." she said to them before walking in her house leaving them speechless. As they walked back to the car they didn't see a woman watching them from the window above.
Jessica had just pulled into the station when her phone buzzed. "Yeah?" she said getting out of the car and heading inside. "Hey I just talked to Crabb Sims's old girlfriend she wants to meet. Where you at?" Veronica asked over the phone. Jessica looked up and seen Jason looking up at her from his desk. "I just walked into the station. But I'm turning around. Where does she want to meet I'll meet you there."
"Are you Latoya?" Veronica asked as her and Jessica walked up to the woman. "We don't know each other you understand?" she asked looking around paranoid. "Had to pick someplace public where they couldn't get us." she mumbled on. Jessica watched Latoya as she looked around her. This was a woman who definitely had to look over her shoulder." Latoya who are you looking for?" Jessica asked her. "The only reason I came is because they are going to kill your boy too." Veronica and Jessica looked at each other. "Latoya Crabb died of an overdose." Veronica stated clearly doing her homework on the case. "Crabb didn't use he had a bad heart." she said to Veronica before looking at Jessica. "Isn't it funny a week after your husband's crime Crabb gets killed." Veronica rolled her eyes at Jessica's little mumble "Ex husband" in response to Latoya's rant. "Crabb knew too much so they killed him. Crabb didn't take that hit that night and it sure as hell wasn't Lincoln. Those boys didn't know what they were getting into. Lincoln use to tell Crabb all the time how he wanted you back. How you made his life better. They walked right into a game." Latoya started to look around her getting scared. "They're here." she said looking around her. Jessica instantly got on high alert and looked around seeing if anything was out of the ordinary. "Who is here?" Veronica asked looking at Latoya. "Don't follow me, don't look for me because I won't testify." she said to Veronica. "You better get out of here. You better run. There isn't a single person they can't get to." she tells them before running off in the opposite direction. "Latoya!" Jessica shouted at her but she was long gone. Jessica looked around but couldn't spot anything. She looked across the street and spotted two men by a hot dog vendor wearing sunglasses facing their way. She grabbed onto Veronica. "Come on. Let's get out of here." she demanded dragging Veronica back to the cars.

Paul Kellerman picked up the phone and made a phone call. He heard the other end pick up. "We have a small complication. There is a detective and lawyer poking around." he said into the phone. "Jessica and Veronica Donovan." the woman said on the other end. "Yes." he said in confirmation. The woman scoffed humorlessly. "You can handle a couple girls. The one graduated in the middle of her justice class. The other one is a heartbroken little girl who has a drinking problem. I hope for your sake you can handle them. Anyone that is a threat to what we are doing is expendable." she said into the phone. "I understand." he said hanging up the phone.

Jessica made her way up the steps to her apartment. She seen Jason leaning against the wall across the hall. "Hey." he greeted coming up to her. "I missed you today. Where have you been?" he asked her coming to stand in front of her. "I had my own thing to do." she said unlocking her door and walking inside leaving the door open for him. He took her invite and walked in. "You have been doing your own thing for a few days now. I'm starting to get curious." he told her playfully. She smirked at him and walked closer to him. She wrapped her arms around his neck. "If you want to accuse me of something do it. Otherwise shut up and take me to bed." she said kissing him on the lips. He kissed her back and lifted her up making her wrap her legs around his waist. He carried her to the bed laying her down. "Oh I am definitely shutting up." he said laying down on top of her.
