Joey re-read the letter multiple times, a smaller note fell from the bottom, Joey picked it up quickly and read that "If you want to meet me...12am in the Vic" Joey took out his phone and looked at the time 11:30pm he had a half hour who was this person? Joey's thoughts were short lived when Abi walked down the stairs "What are you doing?" she asked sleepily "Oh, I can't sleep" he lied Abi smiled and turned to walk into the kitchen "Joey?" she called "Mmhmm?" he asked turning to her "Lauren didn't kill Lucy right?" he walked over to her and hugged her "Of course not, and I will find out who did!" he smiled, she walked into the kitchen, Joey then turned making sure she wasn't watching as he opened the door "Where you going?" she asked Joey sighed and turned "Just out, my head is full, I need some air" he walked outside and closed the door quietly behind him he walked to the scene of the crime and stared around "Painful isn't it? knowing Lauren did this"

"Peter for the last time Lauren did not murder your sister!" he yelled "Why was she arrested then?" he asked "They're just pre-cautioning themselves I mean one look at that face and you know she didn't kill her" Peter stared "The face that has cuts all over it clearly indicating she had a fight with my sister last night" Joey smiled "That means nothing, what that tells me is that Lucy hurt Lauren more than Lauren hurt her" Peter began to walk off "You know what they say Joey, you can't trust anyone"

Joey stared at his phone 11:57pm he sighed and decided to wait in the Vic he walked inside as the whole place fell quiet "Oh, I get it! Here comes the murderer's cousin/boyfriend how dare he show his face, well I can tell you I am getting solid proof tonight about Lucy's murder and it had nothing to do with Lauren!" he yelled everyone then went back to talking Joey sat down near to the door and stared as people walked in and out anyone of these people could be the one to talk to Joey the door opened and he stared as the person neared him and sat beside him "Whitney?" he smiled "You weren't expecting a stranger were you?"

"I don't know I am surprised it's you though" he answered "How do you know Lauren's innocent?" he asked trying not to go off track "I was there- well not there I was passing" Joey stared "And why didn't you tell anyone?" he asked "I only found out Lauren got arrested at least an hour ago" Joey stared "So what did you see?"

"Well I walked past when Lauren and Lucy were having the fight I saw Lucy push Lauren I didn't realise there was glass so I walked away and when I returned Lauren was not there, Lucy was on the ground and the actual murderer had glass in his hand" she answered "His?" Whitney nodded "It was Peter" Joey stood up furiously and stormed out of the Vic he banged on the Beale's door Peter answered "Do you mind? My dad can't sleep as it is" Joey stared and grabbed him by his collar he pulled him outside and pushed him up against the wall "You have some freaking nerve!" he whispered angrily "I don't know what you're talking about"

"How about the fact that you killed Lucy! Not Lauren!" he shouted "Who told you that?" he asked "No one had to tell me, you sick pathetic freak!" he yelled pushing him "Yes, which is why I didn't kill my twin sister!" he replied pushing him back Joey had enough of his smug face and punched him Peter kicked Joey and he fell on top of him Joey took this opportunity and continued to punch him "Stop it!" yelled Whitney grabbing Joey off him "This isn't helping anyone!" Peter pushed off Joey as he walked back into his house. Whitney walked Joey home "Are you sure? That it was him" he asked checking his lip for any blood "100%" Joey smiled "Thank you" Whitney smiled softly and walked back to her house Joey walked into number 5 "Where have you been?" asked Abi "Just out"

"Where's out!?" she asked Joey smiled "I know now for definite Lauren did not kill Lucy" Abi stared "Really? Who did?" He shook his head "I can't tell you yet"

Peter woke up early the next morning he got dressed and called the jail asking their permission to see Lauren, when he got a positive response he walked out the door and headed for the jail. As he entered the jail he couldn't hide his smile. Lauren hearing she had a visitor couldn't help but be nervous she walked with an officer and stared out she noticed Peter and her heart began to pound quickly as she neared the table she found it harder and harder to breathe she sat down opposite him as he smiled "Isn't this nice?" he asked "Peter I swear I didn't kill Lucy, I hit her yeah but the officer says that she was also stabbed and I didn't stab her" she tried to explain "A bit odd though them arresting you straight away" he replied "They said they had a witness" Peter smiled "Yeah that was me"

"I thought we were mates" she answered "No way! Lucy told me that I couldn't get rid of you, so I decided to prove her wrong" he smiled "Wait did you say you were there? To witness me "kill" your sister?" Peter nodded "But I didn't see you" he ushered her closer "I might have been a few seconds later to the scene and even though I didn't see it all I thought I'd take a stab at it, put it all together" he smiled Lauren replayed the sentence in her head and stared at him she began to feel scared and defenceless "No you didn't" she whispered "Yes I did, and I will do my best to make you look so guilty they have to convict you, you're lovely cousin or boyfriend or whatever he is to you this week he's onto me so I have to silence him somehow and you! Well you can rot in here for all I care" he smiled, Lauren stared as he walked away her heart was pounding even harder Peter had framed her for Lucy's murder and there was nothing she could do about it.

N/A: Soo Lauren knows that Peter is a crazy psychopath. And Joey and Whitney know it too will they be able to silence him before it's too late?
