Chapter 6

"Hello, Quinn Fabray" Quinn was lying on the sofa at Rachel's dads' house. Quinn knew that Rachel was itching to go back to New York, and truth be told so was Quinn, but she couldn't bring herself to leave. She was a defence lawyer by job, and by nature, and she always tried to see the best in people, although unfortunately that had betrayed her when Santana had been arrested. But she was a lawyer, and she knew she couldn't go anywhere whilst there was a chance, even a slight chance, that she could do something to help her friend. So there she was lying on the sofa, trying to think of someway she could get Brittany to talk about Santana, and who else she could talk to about that night when her phone started ringing, so she had answered it with the usual greeting.

"Hello, Quinn? This is Will Schuester, I don't know if you remember me"? the voice of Will Schuester, the old Glee club teacher sounded no different as he greeted Quinn.

"Mr Schue" Quinn greeted, smiling at the sound of the man who was more of a father to her than her real father ever was, "It's nice to hear from you"

"You too Quinn, the reason I'm calling is, well, I'd rather discuss that with you in person, I saw Rachel in the mall today, and she mentioned you were also back, and she explained the whole, um, Santana thing, and well, I was wondering if I could talk to you about it"?

"Um, yeah, that would be great" Quinn sat up suddenly looking for a slip of paper and a pen, her full attention on the older man's words, "When do you want to meet."

"I was hoping today at around 3-ish, at the Starbucks in the mall"? Mr Schue asked,

"That's fine, I guess I'll see you then, bye Mr Schue" Quinn said goodbye to the man, and then hung up the phone, looking at the clock on the far wall, 1.30pm, an hour and a half. Quinn stood up and stretched and then ran up the stairs to go and get changed.

GLEEGLEEGLEEGLEEGLEE

Will Schuester sat in the Starbucks nursing a simple black coffee, waiting for Quinn to show up. He had seen Rachel earlier in the day, surprised to see her but happy to hear from her none the less. He knew of Rachel's career on Broadway; but then, he and the rest of Glee had known she'd make it. When she said that Quinn was a lawyer, and trying to find out anything that happened, Will had remembered about the day after, when himself and Principal Figgin's had gone down to the prison to talk to her, and it seemed as good as any time to tell Quinn what he knew.

Things sure had changed, he thought, he had had 4 completely different Glee Clubs since the first one, and none of them were as special to him, sure, the kids were talented, but they were all now very much from one clique. The first club had been different. There were jocks and cheerleader, the diva and the dancers, the losers and shy kids, but they all came together, and became very good friends.

Will smiled as he caught a glimpse of his wedding ring as he looked down to pick up his coffee. He had married Emma 3 years previously, when, after things with Carl didn't work out, they had waited and then given things another go, and this time it'd worked. Emma was pregnant with their first child, they both enjoyed their jobs and they were both happy.

Will looked up again and was shocked as he saw an older, adult Quinn Fabray walk through the doors of the Starbucks. Quinn had always made heads turn he thought, but as she walked in a few of the guys in the shops' jaws had dropped, he chuckled to himself as he took her in. Her hair was a darker shade of blonde, and she looked much more grown up somehow. Wearing a pair of black skinny jeans and high heels with a grey military coat which tied up around the waist she looked stunning. Will rose to meet her.

"Mr Schue, it's so great to see you again, I'm just gonna go and get a coffee" Quinn smiled and hugged her old mentor warmly before she walked over to the counter, and after a few minutes returned with a polystyrene cup of coffee.

"Quinn, you look fantastic, honestly, you look so grown up" Will smiled as she sat down,

"Thanks Mr Schue, not looking so bad yourself, and is that another wedding ring on your finger" Quinn asked, smiling at the older man,

"Please, call me Will Quinn, Mr Schue now makes me feel old, and yes it is, I married Emma Pillsbury 3 years ago, and I'm gonna be a dad as well, for real this time," Will shuddered slightly as he thought back to the deceit his wife Terri had inflicted on him back when Quinn was in high school.

"Alright, Will, wow that sounds weird" Quinn giggled taking a sip of her coffee. They sat in silence for a few minutes, both trying to figure out how to bring up the elephant in the room, which in this case was the subject of Santana.

"Um, I suppose that I should really tell you what you came here to find out" Will said, leaning forwards towards Quinn, "I guess I should tell you what happened that day"...

...

Will walked confusedly into Principal Figgins' office, he had had a student come into his first lesson with a note saying Figgins wanted to see him, so he had excused himself and thanked the student, and here he was about to sit in the chair opposite the principal.

"Will, I called you in here because I need your help" Figgins started,

"OK, what's the matter"? Will asked,

"I received a phone call this morning from a Mrs Lopez, mother of cheerio and one of your glee students Santana Lopez" Figgins kept his eye on Will, he swallowed as Will shuffled forwards in his seat, genuine concern now in his mind for his student,

"Is she OK"?

"I don't really know how to say this Will, apart from to say it straight, but Mrs Lopez called from the Lima County Jail, I'm afraid Santana has been arrested, for murder"

"What!" Will stood up, running his hands through his hair, "You cannot be serious"

"I'm sorry William, but I'm afraid I'm deadly serious, and if there's anyone at school that can get through to her it's you. She refuses to say anything, she just looks at them, so her mother wanted us two to go down there and talk to her" Figgin's explained as Will paced up and down the office, rubbing his face into his hands, trying to comprehend the situation.

"Okay" Will agreed, placing his hands on the back of the chair, leaning over and exhaling loudly.

...

"Santana, you do know you can talk to me don't you" Will said softly, moving and placing his hands over the young Latina's, as she sat in an orange jumpsuit, her hands, handcuffed and resting on the table. Her black hair had been released from the ponytail and was hanging lifelessly around her face, and her face was void of makeup and was just dull and tired.

Santana didn't say anything, she just looked Will in the eyes, and Will was shocked to notice the lack of remorse or guilt in them, they just looked resigned, but they weren't evil, Santana wasn't evil. A person who did this would have to be evil, but there was no sign of a struggle, Santana had no bruises or marks. The police said that she had simply sat by the body dressed in her jeans and shirt, covered in blood when the police arrived after a passerby had seen the girl, the body and the blood and called them.

"I'm not going anywhere Santana, I'll sit here as long as you need me too, just when you're ready" Will sighed, sitting back and slouching in his chair,

There was silence for what seemed like an eternity to Will, when Santana suddenly sat up straight, and leaned across the table towards Will. "Have you ever felt so strongly for someone, that you would do anything to protect them, and I mean like anything" Santana asked, staring at Will intently.

"Well, my parents, I would do anything to protect them," Will said finally, but Santana lightly shook her head,

"Yeah, well, that's what I'm doing" Santana whispered, so quietly, Will barely heard her.

...

"At first, I had no idea what I was talking about, but when I got home, I replayed that one sentence in my mind, and the only thing I could come up with was Brittany, but Brittany wasn't there, so I don't know what she meant" Will sighed,

"But, why didn't you tell the police, say anything in court" Quinn pressed,

"I did tell the police, as soon as I came out of the interview room, and I was going to talk in court, I was prepared too, but as Santana pleaded guilty, I wasn't needed. You were there, and you're a lawyer, you must know about this sort of thing" Will looked up slightly, before taking another sip of his now, cold coffee.

"I guess, OK, I better go Will, I'm meeting Rachel for dinner" Quinn smiled slightly thinking of the brunette girl, then blushing when she realised Mr Schue was grinning at her with a knowing smirk, "Um, me and Rachel, well, we are kinda, um, kinda dating"

"I know, Rachel told me earlier, congratulations, I think you two are good for each other" Will smiled. He and Quinn bid each other a goodbye, and he walked out of the mall, towards his wife and his future child, going over the conversation in his mind the whole time.

As Quinn got into her car and drove back to Rachel's, she replayed Will's words, "Have you ever felt so strongly for someone, that you would do anything to protect them, and I mean like anything", there was no doubt in her mind that Santana was talking about Brittany, which only fuelled the idea that whatever happened that night, it was Brittany who was the driving force behind it, but if Brittany wasn't even there, then, what did happen.

Whatever happened that night, Quinn was going to find out. That she was sure off.

"Have you ever felt so strongly for someone, that you would do anything to protect them, and I mean like anything"?
