The next day everyone was helping out with the decorations for the wedding that was taking place tomorrow, except for Lilly. Although being locked in the same bedroom was already driving her insane, she still was able to stand in front of the window and watch. As a detective she knew that this was all just a bunch of mind games, with one goal in mind.
However Lilly kept her cool, but knew what each of the victims once had felt. What if it was just plain suicide driven by all these mind games. It made sense, logically. Then again why would someone drive all the way to Philadelphia just to dump off their bodies?
Indeed that seemed to be strange, but there had to do a reason as to why. After searching the entire room and closet late last night unsuccessfully, Lilly knew she needed to find a way out of this room. Being here would only get her killed, however it didn't stop her from searching once again. There had to be something here which would point directly to the killer.
However there wasn't anything, which made this case further frustrating. Glancing out the window again, Lilly sighed deeply, hoping that someone would just let her out. What were they expecting her to do while inside of here anyways?"
One thing that she didn't know was that Scotty was allowed to return home to the undercover house; which was something that he didn't like especially with her still being here. For him, he had to protect her no matter what.
Even though he was invited to Adam's wedding which was taking place tomorrow. It still didn't make him feel any better. Leaving Lilly alone in that house scared him, but he had no choice but to leave her there.
Once he had returned to the undercover house, Scotty cleaned up all the broken martini and wine glasses from off the floor. That's when he had noticed that there were about three empty bottles of wine on the table.
Scotty knew that this had be a setup, Lilly would never drink like that. Especially growing up with an alcoholic mother. On top of that, he found a bottle of pills but didn't know what kind. Something had told him that someone wanted him to believe that she had an emotional breakdown.
That's when he knew that Adam knew about everything. Scotty knew that he wasn't the killer, but more of an insider that knew who was responsible for the murders. The question is; what exactly did Adam know?
Everything now seemed to be very confusing, as to what was true? Scotty needed answers, but at the same time still had to get Lilly out of that house. With the wedding taking place tomorrow, he knew he had to find a way to sneak in and bring her back without being seen. That was going to take careful planning, which had to be figured out he did anything.
As Scotty entered the master bedroom upstairs, he found all of Lilly's clothes scattered all over the bed. Right away he knew that this wasn't like her, especially since she hated when he left his own clothes on the floor.
Looking around everything seemed to be pointing towards that, but Scotty wasn't anywhere in the least angry with her, as Lilly thought.
Of course being locked inside of this room, was causing her to think irrationally. At times Lilly thought that Scotty was cheating on her with another woman. She knew he was the type of person that would cheat, but had no idea that he was serious about being only with her.
Everything seem to change by the next morning, even as far as allowing her to shower. After that Lilly changed into a fancy dress with spaghetti straps and heels. Her hair was just down but not curled or wavy.
Of course downstairs, Scotty already arrived looking sharp in a pair of dress pants and shirt. He too was disappointed when he found out that Lilly couldn't attend. In fact, he already had figured out how to get to her while everyone was outside.
That didn't go according to plan, since the doors were being guarded. During the entire wedding, Scotty's mind was only on Lilly. He knew that she had longed to get married, and had wondered what their wedding would be like. In fact, Scotty already was considering this, which meant that he wanted to really settle down .
Was It all due to being undercover posing as a married couple, or that his love for Lilly was simply that strong? Yet as soon as people were allowed in, Scotty decided to act as if he needed to use the bathroom.
However being that that no one was allowed upstairs, his own frustration grew. Yet Scotty kept his cool although by now, he wanted to knock several people out. That didn't matter anyways since there was nothing he could do or say in order to be able to see Lilly.
Needless to say that Scotty left way before the wedding was over. By nightfall, heavy thunder clapped through the sky, as he heard the sound of someone banging loudly; several times. Once he opened the front door, Lilly nearly fell into his arms.
She was barefooted and her dress was drenched and covered with dirt. As Scotty carried her upstairs, he felt so relieved to have his girl back safe and alive. Once he had wrapped a towel around Lilly, he went into the bathroom to draw her a warm bath.
When he came back, Scotty noticed that Lilly was shaking," Hey, it's okay Lil," he whispered softly, while brushing a tendril of hair away from her face, " How do you escape?"
" One of them left the door open, I fled. Was chased, until I turned onto another street. Ended up falling. "
Scotty knew that Lilly had been through a lot, as he slowly took off her dress; seeing various bruises on her skin. He felt terrible not being able to stop whomever had done this. Once she was naked, Scotty carried her into the bathroom; gently placing her down into the warm water.
Despite what Lilly had felt while inside of that room, she still knew that he would never hurt her. Of course, she was still crying silently. There was a lot of emotional abuse that went on there, " You probably think I had some sort of breakdown."
" No I don't, never thought you took those pills that I found either. Whoever hurt you Lil, I need to know."
Lilly didn't answer, but instead continued to let him give her a bath. In fact, her ankle hurt after she had tripped and fell down on the road. Plus she felt a bit sick, after drinking something. Just moments after the bath was over, Scotty helped her up as Lilly grabbed a towel to dry herself off.
Once her pajamas were on, she climbed into bed. Scotty soon joined her, before planting a kiss down on her cheek," I love you."
She knew that despite the lies that she had been fed, he did really love her," Adam let me escape, didn't say one word to me. Just left the door opened, I think it was Kenny that chased me afterwards"
" Adam's in on it for sure, why would he abducted me only to let me go? Kind of odd, especially given the fact that I was treated more like a friend," Scotty whispered," Whatever's going on we're going to stop it and solve this case. You didn't screw anything up."
" No just allowed me to get hurt. You could have done something!"
Scotty felt her sense of anger and frustration," I couldn't Lil, I wanted to. You know how to that would look, I couldn't act like a cop."
That was one con about being undercover, yet he felt guilty about not finding her sooner," The sooner we get the bottom of this, the sooner we can go home."
Yet that was going to be awhile, they had no idea just how many mind games were being played on them.
