"LILLY!" I cried out when I saw her. At the sound of my voice both Lilly and Meg looked up, they seemed to be drugged because they could barely keep their heads up. Meg just stared at me and started to cry. Lilly on the other hand was screaming my name and trying to get free from the chair she was bound to.
I looked over at Mr. Manning and said "I don't understand! How are they alive?"
"Well Ms. Nosy if you remember correctly no one saw Megs body and we had her cremated before the memorial so she was easy to smuggle out. Lilly on the other hand was a lot harder because we couldn't pass her off as dead without her parents knowing, well one parent anyway Celeste was a gem helping us out."
"Celeste helped you seemingly KILL LILLY!" I was getting angry I could still hear Lilly and just then another person walked into the room with Lilly and Meg and slapped Lilly to get her to shut up it was the woman we were just discussing Celeste Kane.
After settling Lilly down Celeste came into the room we were in "Hello Veronica" she said as she walked in.
"YOU BITCH!" I screamed and tried to fight the bars to be able to get to her.
"Calm down Veronica or would you like Gory here to pay a visit to Lilly or Meg?" Celeste said
I calmed down a little and tried to take in my surroundings Madison was still out of it starring at Lilly and Meg. I really needed to snap her out of it because I may hate her guts but Madison Sinclair would be a good ally in the near future if I wanted even a slight chance of getting out of here. But I would have to wait until they left us alone again so I could talk to her. But she was leaning on the bars and it looked like her head was about to go though the bars so I decided I needed to say something to her, but as I looked closer I noticed that Gory was right beside her and that everyone in the room except me was not even paying attention to her. I saw her hand near Gory so I decided that I needed to distract them more.
"So how did you "Kill" Lilly" I asked
"Tetrodotoxin" Celeste said.
"You mean you gave her that drug that slows your heart rate and breathing then what did you hit her over the head to make the wound?"
"No silly that was makeup; the medical examiner was bought and paid for long before we did it."
"I can't believe you sick people. So what about the serial killings with Lilly's DNA and the ashtray?" I asked
"Gory here got bored and decided to play with you a little; he said he always wanted to play with sisters." Mr. Manning said
"Lilly and I aren't sisters!" I said
"Actually Veronica you are, I slept with your father just one time when me, Jake, Leann and your father went to the lake together. A few months later I was pregnant with Lilly, I made sure no one even your father suspected a thing. I was not about to lose my nest egg over something as stupid as having slept with the sheriff and getting knocked up."
I was so confused at this point, so Lilly IS my sister but I'm not related to Duncan because dad was my father AND Lilly's father? That was a lot to wrap my head around!
"I don't understand if you knew this why did you tell Duncan I was Jakes daughter?"
"Because I really thought you were."
"Wow Celeste I knew you were heartless but this is low even for you!" I said
"Poor ignorant Veronica, I had to do it because Lilly found out the truth about who her father was and I already knew about her and Aaron so I had a good patsy. Clarence was of course in on it as well because of the whole changing the body temp; I didn't want her hurt so I paid him quite handsomely to take care of everything."
"Ok boys it's time to get this show on the road. You sent the picture correct?" Celeste asked Gory
"Yes I sent it and made it look like the killer had her, which technically he does." Gory said with a laugh
"Ok let's go get the other balls rolling." Mr. Manning said and the three of them walked out as they walked out I counted to a hundred then turned to Madison
"Please tell me you got the key!"
"Please like you are the only sneaky person on this earth." She said holding up the keys
"Oh my god Madison I could kiss you!"
"Eww gross Mars I DO NOT swing that way!"
"Let's just get the hell out of here!"
Madison unlocked her cell then mine; I poked my head out the door to the hallway and saw that it was clear. We rushed to the room Meg and Lilly were in. Lilly was sitting there very still and Meg was still crying. Meg saw me first and began sobbing louder
"I knew yyou would save us!"Meg cried out
"Oh Meg I can't believe your alive!" I cried and ran and untied her once the bonds were undone I gave her the biggest hug
Madison had went and untied Lilly and she seemed off so I went over to her
"Lilly? What's wrong?" I asked
"I can't believe your hear. I use to dream that I was floating in a pool with you and we were talking like old times. AND I gotta say I love the new you kick ass chic." She said with a smile
"I had the same dreams about you Lilly, I guess it was the sister connection or something." I said
"Of course! Because sister connection also explains why we are both BADASS!" she laughed
"God I missed you Lilly!" I said and gave her a hug!
"All right people let's get the hell out of this dump!" Lilly ordered
"Yes lets." Meg agreed
I poked my head into the hallway again and saw that it was clear
"Ok anyone know the way out?" I asked
"Go right then at the end of the hall go left and there's a door that leads outside that's the way we came in." Lilly said
We quickly and quietly made our way to the door Lilly was talking about. I opened it slightly and looked out. There was a parking lot with a few cars in it. I made sure the coast was clear and we ran to the nearest car I looked around and found a car I knew did not have an alarm and grabbed a rock and broke out the window as I was hotwiring the car the others stood watch I got the car started and everyone hopped in. I drove us out of that place as quickly as I could. I could not believe the escape was that easy so I kept watch behind us to make sure we weren't followed. We pulled up to the gate of my house and I had to hit the buzzer because I didn't have my remote
"Yes" I heard it sounded like Logan
"Sugarpuss?" I asked
"VERONICA!" I heard him scream the gate opened and before I even got the car parked everyone had ran out I was in tears at this point and got out to be surrounded by all the people I love. Yeah I guess in a weird way I love Dick too. But the biggest shock was when Lilly and Meg got out of the car.
