Tanya stared out the window at the car driving away she turned to face the room, she began to sob and walked out of the room and up the stairs Joey sighed and followed her "I knew she was hiding something!" she replied angrily Joey stared "Tan, there has to be more to this story-" Tanya stood up "For god's sake Joey why can't you just tell yourself she's a murderer!" she screamed Joey stared at her "Because I know Lauren?" he asked "You have known her for three years, I have known her her whole life!" she scalded "You really think she did it" he sighed. Tanya stared at him angrily and walked off.
Lauren was in the interview holding room for a little over half an hour, she hadn't been interviewed yet, and though she was getting impatient, she had time to process what was going on, Lauren stared as the door opened and DC Summerhayes walked in with a companion seeing them made Lauren shake when they sat down, DC Summerhayes placed a tape in the cassette player, Lauren stared at them nothing about this felt real she watched as Summerhayes pressed record on the cassette player "Interview with Lauren Branning present are DS Holden and DC Summerhayes" he began Lauren began to shake even worse "Would you like a water or something?" asked Summerhayes Lauren shook her head "No thank you"
DC Summerhayes then began the questioning "Miss Branning, you are suspected of killing Lucy Beale correct?" Lauren nodded "Yes" she whispered "While we were arresting you, they uncovered this at the scene" she began showing Lauren a clear bag with the ring Joey gave her "Is it yours" Lauren stared at her hand she hadn't even noticed it was missing "Miss Branning is it yours!?" she repeated loudly "Yes" Lauren watched as she began writing things down "Why are you doing that? We're on tape" she asked Summerhayes didn't answer she looked up from her paper and smiled "We have a witness claiming he saw you hit Lucy Beale in the head with a coffee pot did you?" she asked "A witness? Who?" she asked getting a little bit angry "They must remain anonymous for legal reasons...did you hit her or not?" Lauren stared "Yeah" Dc Summerhayes stared at DS Holden "But it was an accident" she continued "Miss Branning were you drunk last night?" she asked.
Lauren stared all around "Answer the question!" yelled DS Holden "Yeah" she answered quietly "Not looking good is it?" he smiled "It was an accident the whole thing was an accident I drank a lot last night I'll admit that but she was annoying me so much, I tried to talk to her but she wouldn't listen to me well actually she threw me onto the ground, where there was glass smashed and that's all I remember" she replied "So you admit you were physically fighting with Miss Beale correct?" she asked "Yeah l admit that" DS Holden stared at her "So Miss Beale was annoying you, you lashed out with a coffee pot.." he began "Yeah it was self defense"
"So when did you stab her?" he asked Lauren raised an eyebrow "I- I never" he smiled "So, you're denying this statement?" Lauren nodded her head "I never stabbed her! I hit her with the coffee pot and ran!" she yelled "Oh, I see we're remembering things" he smiled "I didn't kill her!" she yelled "I didn't stab her!" DS Holden stared at her confused "So what are you saying?" Lauren glared at him "I did not kill Lucy Beale, someone else did!"
Joey sighed and walked out of the kitchen he and Tanya had another fight over Lauren he just couldn't expect her to murder someone even if the police arrested her he still didn't think everything was right, he remembered the police telling Tanya a witness had seen her kill Lucy he thought for a minute and decided he'd tell Peter and Ian about what had happened. He walked out the door and knocked on the Beale's Peter opened the door and stared Joey kindly let himself inside Ian spotted him and walked over to him "Get out! Get out of my house!" he yelled pushing him out the door "Hey!" he yelled "Do you really think Lauren would murder someone?" he shouted "Do you really know anyone?" Ian yelled "Now get out of my house!" he repeated "No! Peter you and Lauren were mates, why the hell would she kill your twin?" he asked "I dunno, some people aren't right in the head, especially ex-alcoholics who turn back into alcoholics who murder people" he retorted "Okay that's it, I am going to prove you all wrong!" he pointed walking out of the house.
"Miss Branning you are to remain in police custody until further notice do you understand?" asked DS Holden "But I didn't kill her! You have to believe me, I hit her and ran away someone killed her after me, knowing full well that I would be blamed" DS Holden watched as she was walked out the door to her cell.
Joey walked through the door of number 5 he stared around and noticed everyone was possibly sleeping he took his jacket off and sighed as he sat on the sofa, next of all he heard the letterbox open he stared and walked out to the hallway there laying on the floor was a piece of paper he picked it up and read it "Lauren didn't kill Lucy...but I know who did".
N/A: Soo who knows Lauren is innocent and do they really know Peter killed his sister.
