I promised you another chapter for today and I almost didn't make it, but here it is. I hope you're still enjoying the story!

A couple of minutes later Piper walked into the main hall. She had quickly dressed into a jeans and a sweatshirt and her hair was still partly wet. She had left it undone so that it would eventually dry off.
Piper dangled her car keys in front of Phoebe. "Are you coming?" she asked impatiently.
"Coming? Where are we going?" was Phoebe's confused response.
Piper gave her a mocking look. "To the police station, of course. You can tell me what happened on the way. Let's go!"
Phoebe grabbed her purse and they both headed out the door.

On the way to the police station Phoebe gave Piper a quick report about today's events. She had been checking out the crime scenes with Leo, when he suddenly was called by one of his charges. He had immediately orbed out, leaving Phoebe behind to check out the rest of the crime scenes.
Half an hour later she had received a call from Darryl, who told her that there had been another murder and asked her to meet him at the crime scene immediately.
When she got there, she found out, that Leo had been arrested, because he had been kneeling next to the dead body when the police had arrived. Dan, who already had been suspicious about Leo in general was convinced, that they might have found their murderer and nothing Darryl had said could convince him that Leo was innocent.
Phoebe also tried to talk to Dan, claiming that she had been with Leo the whole day, but since there was no way of explaining how Leo had been able to get her more than half an hour before Phoebe if they had really been together the whole time, that really didn't help.

As soon as the two girls arrived at the police station, they were pulled aside by Darryl immediately.
"Finally." he murmured. "Maybe you'll be able to talk some sense into Dan."
"How bad are things, Darryl?"
He looked at her sternly. "Actually, pretty bad. They took Leo's fingerprints and of course that brought up his old army records – including his death certificate from 1942. He is in the system now and it's not going to be easy to come up with an explanation for all of that."
Piper nodded slowly and went to see Dan.
His face darkened when he saw her. He cursed silently and said "Piper, what the hell are you doing here? I hope you're not here to tell me that your Leo is completely innocent and that it was all a stupid misunderstanding."
Piper squinted her eyes and looked at him for a second. "Actually," she said calmly, "that is exactly why I am here."
"You got to be kidding me!" Dan said, grabbed her arm and pulled into an empty office. "Your friend Leo is a fraud – just like I have always told you! His fingerprints match the one's from a guy who died more than sixty years ago. We found him kneeling next to a victim, and a neighbor of that victim testified, that she has seen him around a couple of times doing handiwork around the house. He…"
Before Dan could continue, Piper grabbed his hands and looked at him. "Dan, you really need to listen to me. I know for a fact, that Leo is completely innocent of that or any other women's murder. His records may seem really suspicious, but there really is a good explanation for all of this – I just can't tell you right now."
"You're joking, right?"
"Dan, you need to trust me on this one. Please. You need to let Leo go."
"What is wrong with you, Piper?" now Dan was really angry. "I can't believe you are trying to use our relationship to get your ex-boyfriend – a possible serial killer – out of jail."
"You always accused me, of not asking you for help. You always said, that I should trust you. Well, here is your chance to help me and to earn my trust: I can assure you, that Leo is not your killer. I know it, just as much as I know that I am not the killer myself. Please, you have to trust me, Dan. This is really important."
He looked at her for a moment and then shook his head. "I am sorry, Piper. I can't."

Piper went back to Darryl and Phoebe. They saw her grave face and immediately knew that she hadn't been successful either.
"Can I see him, Darryl?"
Darryl sighed. "Sure, it's not like you'd accept me telling you, that it's completely against the regulations."
"This seems to be an ongoing issue in my life." Piper murmured and followed Darryl to the interrogation room. He opened the door for her but hold her back, before she could step into the room. He leaned over to her and whispered. "There are cameras in here – so be careful, okay?".
Piper nodded thankfully and stepped into the room.

Leo was sitting at a table, his head hanging down. When Piper said he name softly, he looked up and a tiny smile crept onto his lips. He looked devastated and his arms were cuffed on his back.
Piper turned around to Darryl. "Can you uncuff him, Darryl?" Piper begged.
Darryl hesitated only a second and then did as she had asked him. Leo gave him an appreciative look and Dan left them alone.

Well, don't you think this looks like there is going to be a nice, fluffy Piper & Leo chapter next?
