A Cry in the Night - Chapter Twelve
Kayla's trial continued but new details have come into light which could drastically increase Kayla's chance of getting cleared. It's been revealed by police officers that a murder weapon has never been recovered. So where was this mysterious murder weapon?
Lynette walked into the room which Kayla slept. She was doing laundry and changing pillow cases and bed sheets. She lifts the pillow up and out from under it a knife falls onto the floor. She jumps back staring at the bloody knife.
Tom comes home and sees Lynette sitting with the bloody knife at the dinner table.
"What's that?"
"I found it under Kayla's pillow…"
"What? How the hell did that get in here!"
"She must have brought it in with her sometime. We have to turn it over to the police."
"Wait a second Lynette…"
"Oh, Tom! You can't seriously be thinking…"
"This is the best piece of evidence against her! Handing it in would just prove their case…"
"Prove their case, exactly! Tom she is guilty! You know that as well as I do!"
"No, I don't! Lynette you have this previously past judgment on her and you won't drop it!"
"I… I do not! Tom! She did it! We have to hand it in!"
"She didn't do anything!" Tom grabs the knife and walks upstairs.
"Tom!" Lynette shouts as Tom walks away paying no mind.
"Something is going on with that house" Bree says sipping on coffee.
"It does all sound very strange" Gaby says sitting in her living room.
"Maybe we should try talking with her" Susan suggests.
"Yea let's just invite them over" Gaby says joking around.
"Well… we never did welcome them with open arms" Bree adds.
A few minutes later:
"You know guys I was just kidding around" Gaby says as they walk across the street.
Bree knocks on the door. Kelly answers.
"Well, hello Bree… and friends…"
"We'd like to invite you to our weekly poker game!" Bree says as perky as ever.
"Oh… I can't go… I have a…"
"Umm… you forgot to wait for me to mention when it was" she replies smirking.
"I just assumed…"
"Well this was a bust" Gaby says walking from the house. Susan follows. The kids (Juanita, Celia, and M.J.) can be seen playing in the street.
"Bree, I'm sorry… Please accept my apologies…"
"I would say your apology is about as good as my word" Bree says taking a shot at how Kelly believes Bree is a liar.
Mike comes home and sees Susan cooking dinner.
"Oh… you're cooking?"
"Yea, I'm feeling better. I thought about everything and…"
"You decided to cook?"
"Yea… it's my gift to you for being the worlds most understand husband." Susan kisses him.
"Honey, I don't think your cooking is a gift."
"Shut up" she says laughing.
M.J. comes running in. "Daddy!" He says. He has a bandage around his leg.
"Hey buddy! What happened here?" Mike asks.
"Oh, he fell while riding his bike earlier…"
M.J. runs off into the living room.
"Mike I saw him fall and even though it was minor accident I realized that you and M.J. are my life and you're the only family that I'm going to be worried about."
Mike walks over and wraps his arms around her. "That's very sweet of you' he says.
Suddenly the smoke alarm goes off.
"Oh my god! The pot roast" she says rushing to the oven flapping the oven mitts at the smoke.
"M.J. get the take out menus" Mike calls.
The next day.
"I'm sorry" Lynette says as she opens the front door. Tom watches as police officers enter his house. "They're here searching for evidence" she tells Tom.
Tom shakes his head staring at Lynette. "I will never forgive you for this."
"Hi!" Gaby says running out of her house. She hugs her new beau.
Carlos watches from inside the house. He starts getting angry as he watches Gaby and Romeo kissing in the street.
"Damnit" he says slamming his fist against the wall. He then turns and sees Juanita staring at him. "I'm sorry honey. Everything's okay."
"It's about mommy isn't it?"
"No. Juanita your mother and I love you very much. We're really good."
"She still hates me. She wants that other kid back!"
"Juanita! Stop it. Your mother loves you very much."
Juanita pouts and walks upstairs. Carlos sighs as he thinks about his daughters… can he really let this other man destroy their family?
Bree looks out her window and notices Danielle talking to Miles. A few minutes later Danielle comes inside holding the mail.
"I saw you talking to Miles" Bree says questioning.
"Oh, yea, He's really nice."
"Nice! That's a good choice of words for our intruder!" Bree says.
"Mom, we don't even know that it was really him. Let me tell you though, he couldn't stop going on and on about you."
"Excuse me?"
"He seems to think of the world of you. Odd… maybe he should get to know you" Danielle says walking up the stairs.
A look of surprise and shock plasters over Bree's face.
The next day.
"How are you holding up?" a man asks Kayla.
"It's horrible in here" Kayla responds. "It's so much better now that you're here" she puts her hand above his.
"It's alright honey. I'm doing everything I can. Are you?"
"Yes. I'm acting the way you told me. I think the guards are finally taking notice to these antics."
"That's good" the man holds her hand tight in his.
"You're a genius for thinking of this entire… scheme…"
"Don't worry honey… we'll be together before you know it."
Kayla smiles and leans over as she kisses Dr. Joshua Dolan on the lips.
