AN: The hunt picks up. R&R!
Chapter Four: Something's Brewing
Alexander calmly sat in his classroom, calmly looking towards the board as the teacher went on and on about some fractions and what not. He wasn't thinking about math, however. He was thinking about how he was going to get to whoever attacked Lizzie all in the while ducking whatever law enforcement was going to get in the way. Before he could think any further, his cell phone vibrated. Jack had sent him a message.
Jack: Cops are rounding us up.
Alexander eyes went wide.
WTF!? Why?
Jack: Most of us have records, so a uniform might be picking you up soon.
Alexander sighed deeply and leaned back in his seat, and groaned. As he looked up, he saw a uniform knocking on the door. As the teacher looked around she pointed right at Alexander, and he sighed.
"Here we go." Alexander sighed. He got up, but not before whispering to Derek.
"Call my bro, and tell Casey what happened." Alexander whispered in his ear. Derek knodded, and Alexander was out the door.
Detective Miller calmly stared at Alexander as he looked calmly around the room. He felt calm, all things considering. She sat down right in front of him.
"Well, Alexander, I suppose you know why you are here." Det. Miller said to him.
"No, Elighten me." Alexander said.
"Well, we are investigating a rape of a one Lizzie McDonald. What do you know about it?" She asked him. Alexander sighed, and looked at her with a look of slight disgust.
"Look, if you are insuating that I raped Lizzie, you are dead wrong." Alexander said anger rising. "I wouldn't do that to her, or her family."
"Well, maybe you did that to hurt Dennis." Miller said, getting in his face. "Everyone knows that you and Dennis have a little history."
"True, but I didn't tear up his daughter." Alexander said.
"Maybe you got one of yur crew members to 'tear her up', as you said." Miller shot at him. Alexander smiled, and leaned in close to her.
"Listen to me very carefully." Alexander said in a nasty tone. "You should be smart enough to know that me and my crew have nothing to do with Lizzie being attacked. You have nothing on me, and now if you are done spinning your wheels, I will be going."
"I'll be in touch." Miller called after him. Alexander shot her a look, and left.
Melissa was sitting in a salon chair, minding her own business, until she heard the front door open. She heard her brother's voice say "Give us a minute." Then the hair dresser left.
"Jesus, I thought that this was going to be my one peaceful moment of the day." Melissa said, sitting up.
"Look, I need to know where you are on Lizzie's case." Alexander asked.
"Do you know how much pressure there is on me to solve this?" Melissa shot at him. "If anything is done to compromise the-"
"I'm not asking you to compromise, just tell me what you know." Alexander said.
Melissa took a deep breath, and answered.
"We have nothing. No leads, no witnesses. The only person who knows anything is Lizzie, and she claims that she has no memory of it, and to pile on to that, Nora won't let anybody near her. I can't really blame her, though. I would do the same thing if it was my kid."
"Thanks." Alexander said, walking towards the door.
"Hey, you guys can't screw me on this. I don't find this guy, I am under the microscope, and that is bad for all of us." Melissa warned him.
"Don't worry sis, I'll find him." Alexander said before leaving.
"If they don't, Nora and Dennis might end up killing him first..." Melissa said under her breath.
AN: Next time, frustrated with the lack of progress, Edwin and Derek go hunting on their own. Also, sorry about the lack of other characters in this chapter. R&R!
