Ethan walked up and down his living room anxiously, he couldn't believe he lashed out at Lance, the police could be on their way to arrest Ethan for harassment. Cal and Arthur sat on the sofa.
"Geez Ethan, would you calm down? You'll wear a hole in the floor." Cal sighed.
"I'm sorry but if you were wrongly accused of arson, you would be a little bit anxious too." Ethan responded sarcastically.
"Footprints." Arthur muttered randomly.
"What?" Cal and Ethan both said in unison.
"Footprints and fingerprints from forensics, they could still find out it was Lance." Arthur spoke hopefully, Ethan wasn't convinced.
"But Arthur, fire burns evidence." Cal groaned.
Ethan left the room and ran upstairs to the bathroom where he vomited from stress. He looked in the mirror after he was done, he was pale. All this anxiety was really getting on top of him, he looked down at his bandaged hands where he removed them revealing red burns, he winced as he pressed lightly into one of his burns.
Suddenly there was a knock at the door, Cal got up and answered it. It was the same detective that arrested Ethan. Cal gulped deeply.
"Mr Knight, is Ethan here?"
"Erm why? What do you need him for?" Cal asked worryingly.
"I'm afraid I can't discuss that with you." The detective frowned. Just then Ethan walked down the stairs.
"Ethan, can I have a word in private?" Ethan nodded and the detective made his way into the living room with Cal and Arthur in the hallway. "Right Ethan, we arrested Lance for starting the fire." Ethan was stunned.
"What? How?" Ethan asked.
"Well your friend, brother and forensics helped. We managed to get traces of Lances fingerprints on the Bunsen burner. You're off the hook." In the corridor Cal sighed with relief.
"Told you. Fingerprints." Arthur smiled. Cal rolled his eyes and continued to listen.
"Thank you for your time Ethan and apologises for wrongly arresting you."
"You were just doing your job." Ethan tried to smile. The detective smiled back then left the house. Cal walked into the living room and hugged his brother where Ethan let out a small cry.
"I told you it would be okay." Cal smiled, still hugging Ethan.
Rubbish ending but that was literally all I could think off xD
