Hey, it's Ted. Sorry for the delay but I got busy with holidays coming up and I had terrible writers block on top of actually being sick yesterday. I'm just lying in my bed waiting for everyone else to wake up. So here we go. I plan on finishing all of this before break ends and since Christmas is tomorrow, I hope you all have happy holidays.

Chapter 9
No One's P.O.V.
Booth looked up from where he and Audrey had previously been on the floor to where Audrey was now. She was standing in a defensive position, her eyes filled with rage. Booth stood and grabbed her around the waist before she had a chance to attack. The person in the doorway looked completely un-phased at the situation in front of him.
"GET OUT OF HERE, SCOTT YOU BASTARD!" She screamed at him, practically snarling as she did so. The outburst seemed to take Booth and the guy in the doorway -Scott, it would seem- by surprise. Scott quickly brushed it off though with a smirk. There was only evil in his eyes, there was no good, none that Booth could see as he continued to hold back his victim's sister.
"Oh but Audrey," he said snidely, "I only came here to return this, it was left with me by your sister." He held up the tattered sweat jacket he had been referring to. "Where is the freak anyway?" he asked. Audrey growled in anger and hurt as fresh tears began to pour down her face and she couldn't stop them. She began to fight against Booth to get to Scott.
"He's dead you fucker!" she exclaimed as she fell to the ground, Booth falling with her. Scott scoffed at the sight before him. "Serves her right, your freak sister didn't deserve to live if she was going to keep lying to everyone in that way, it's just disgusting. And I see you've already moved on from me and got yourself someone new. Never would have pegged you for one who goes for older men. He sneered, obviously referring to Booth.
Booth, in turn didn't have time to react when Audrey leapt from hid hold and went after Scott. He was able to catch up to her though, restraining her just enough to where Scott got away relatively unharmed besides a long gash running down his calf by her fingernails. As Booth held her back, Audrey began sobbing again, mumbling for the agent to take him away as she collapsed to the floor. Booth complied.
He picked up the boy who had fallen to the ground during the attack by the arm and pulled out his handcuffs. "I'm putting you under arrest for intruding on a murder investigation." Booth said plainly. Despite this not being exactly true, he still needed a reason to get this kid into interrogation. Booth had a sneaking suspicion about him and wanted to get to the bottom of it. He read the boy his rights and led him out the door, looking behind him at Audrey he told her he would return before taking Scott to the elevator and then to his car.
Aubrey walked towards the interrogation room, not exactly sure what he was going to be facing in there. As he reached the door he noticed two boys sitting handcuffed to a bench near it. 'They must be involved' he thought to himself and entered the room. Inside there was a lone boy, probably about 19. He was dressed in formal clothes and kept his hair neat. He was looking toward the one-way mirror, refusing to make eye contact with the agent.
"I'm agent Aubrey, I'll be conducting this interrogation, and you must be Daniel, correct?" He asked, trying to start off calmly to get anything out of the boy. He was met with silence, so he tried again. "You go to school around here, right?" Nothing. "Are you aware of why you've been arrested?" Once again he was met with silence. After a few more tries, Aubrey decided to just cut to the chase.
"A few months ago at a pride parade that was held here, you and two others were seen assaulting and antagonizing several people. Including one who is willing to provide as a witness who physically handicapped, yet you and the two others got awfully close to assaulting her." He paused to see if there was any reaction. When there wasn't one he started to continue before he was interrupted. "We didn't do nothin'" the boy mumbled, still refusing to turn his head.
Just as he was about to have Daniel repeat his statement, Aubrey was interrupted by the door opening and a lawyer walking in. She didn't say anything other than who she was before she sat down next to her client.
"You didn't do anything?" Aubrey continued. "You and your croons out there were caught on video antagonizing a physically handicapped woman for having a pride flag on her wheelchair. And then when some random stranger who just happened to also be decorated in pride garb decided to jump in and help her, you began antagonizing him as well. You physically assaulted him, beat him to a pulp." Aubrey said, getting closer to the boy's face to get a reaction out of him. "And before you go and try to deny it, we have physical proof and multiple witness accounts that all point toward you three."
The lawyer was about to jump in to defend her client before another voice spoke up. "We didn't do nothin' that they didn't deserve." Daniel mumbled. Aubrey leaned in closer. "I'm sorry, what was that?" he asked. Daniel sat up straighter and repeated his statement, much to the chagrin of the lawyer who was hired for him. He looked Aubrey straight in the eye at this point. "I said, we didn't do nothing that those freaks didn't deserve." He said in a stronger voice. Aubrey was taken aback, outraged that anyone can feel that way, despite how many cases they go through where it is nearly the same.
"So, are you confessing to assaulting the victim?" Aubrey questioned. The lawyer on the opposite side remained silent, obviously not good at her job, she let her client speak for himself. "Yeah, we beat him up, but only because the freak deserved it."
And with that, Aubrey stood from his chair and made his way around the table until he was behind Daniel. "You are under arrest for the murder of Leo Grant." He said as he made the boy rise. (A.N.: I realized I never gave that family a last name so I seriously just pulled one out of my ass)
Daniel looked shocked as he was being led out the door. "Murder? What? No! We-we didn't murder him! We only were teaching him a lesson! He was still alive!" He said, panicking. Aubrey listened but never stopped. "Yes but someone else had already poisoned him, making it hard for him to defend himself and making him weaker. The poison taking affect was a slow process, and the blows you landed just sped it up. So you murdered him."
Sorry if the reactions of anyone are a little off. It's really early in the morning. I don't know if I'll have a chapter tomorrow but I might.
So, until next time, peace
-Ted
