"Jesse! What do you think you're doing?" Jackson demanded before Jesse could take Greenlee out of the cabin.
"I should think that would be obvious Jackson I'm arresting her." He said callously.
"On what charges?" Jackson grabbed the Police Chiefs arm stopping him from leaving with Greenlee.
"We'll start with Hindering a Police investigation, Aiding and Abetting, Conspiracy, Lying to the police to start with." Jesse ticked the charges off on his fingers.
"Where did you come up with all that Jesse?" Ryan wanted an explanation for why his wife was in cuffs.
"I just got off the phone with the Pine Valley Airport. Hayward's plane never took off. Seems as if the pilot was earlier in the day to be prepared in case they needed to take off in a hurry but about 2 hours ago he got a call to put the plane back in the hanger." Jesse started explaining all the while looking at Greenlee with disdain.
"OK Jesse so that just means he found another way out. What does that have to do with my wife?"
"Oh there's more….it seems as if around the same time Hayward's plane was being put away one of Greenlee Enterprises jets was prepared for flight. One hour ago that same plane took off with a flight plan taking the occupants to Paris, France. Interesting enough neither Woodruff nor Millicent Greenlee were on the plane nor were any Greenlee Enterprises' employees. There was one passenger listed on the manifest with no name given." Jesse looked at Greenlee accusingly "Any guesses who that passenger may have been?"
"No, no, Greenlee please tell me you didn't." Ryan begged her to say something anything. She just stood there silent not giving them any further information.
"Jesse how can you be sure it was Hayward on the plane?" Jackson was practically begging him to say he couldn't be sure that it was David on that plane.
"Airport personnel saw a man matching David's description boarding the plane moments before takeoff. Now if you two don't mind I'm taking this one down to the station to get some answers." He put his hand on Greenlee's back to lead her to his car.
As Jesse put Greenlee in the back of his police car Ryan knelt down by the door "Please Greenlee say something. Tell me that David made you do this. Tell me you didn't willingly help that man. He drugged you right? Or wait is he blackmailing you again? Greenlee you can tell me I can help you please help me" he begged her he didn't want to believe she would betray him like this.
"Ryan, I'm sorry I can't say anything without talking to a lawyer first." She looked at her father hoping he would help her but knew this time she probably went too far. Jackson simply turned away from her and walked towards his car. Ryan shut the door to the car and watched as Jesse drove back to town.
"What the hell is she thinking Jackson? You don't think she willingly helped Hayward do you?" Ryan drove his car back to town trying to get to the police station as fast has he could.
"DAMN IT!" Jackson punched the dashboard of Ryan's are "Why does she do things like this. I swear she's her own worst enemy. I hope this isn't true that she didn't help that man esacape."
Jesse walked Greenlee into the police station everyone there was shocked to see the Chief bringing one of Pine Valley's most influential citizens into their station in cuffs. "BROT I need you to process the suspect and then put her in the interrogation room."
Brot took Greenlee by the arm, "Yes, sir"
"Jesse I thought I got a phone call." She asked.
"You'll get it soon enough. Nowhere in the law does is say when I have to give it to you." He stormed off.
As Brot took Greenlee off to be processed Jesse slammed his cuffs down on his desk, "How the hell does David keep getting away? What kind of hold does he have on the women of Pine Valley that makes them protect him" he thought to himself as he pulled out David's files from his desk and slammed them on top of his desk.
News blew through Pine Valley faster than the tornado ever could. By the time Greenlee had been booked and was taken to the interrogation room anyone who was anyone in that town was at the station hoping the news wasn't true. No one wanted to believe that David had gotten away again after all he had done to hurt them more than that they hoped Greenlee hadn't willingly helped him escape. Ryan stood with Kendall and Zach. Zach watched his friend as the town looked down on her he hated that she had to go through this. He knew she made the right decision protecting Hayward but part of him wished she had taken the coward's way out like he had. Erica Kane stood with Jackson and Bianca. Erica had a smirk on her face. Sure the man that helped Jane keep her locked up had gotten away but seeing Greenlee do the perp walk could almost make up for that.
Brot opened the door to the interrogation room and lead Greenlee inside. She sat down at the table and waited to face her fate as he left her alone in the room.
Moments later she looked up as the sound of the door interrupted her thoughts, Jesse Hubbard walked into the room. He quietly walked up to the table and pulled the chair across from her out from under the table and sat down. He looked at her for what seemed like an eternity of silence. Neither blinking or saying a word.
Finally breaking through the emptiness of the room Jesse looked at her and started, "This is your one chance to tell me what exactly happened in that cabin and how David ended up on your Grandfather's plane."
"Jesse I believe I was clear back at the cabin I'm not saying anything to you without a lawyer." She stared back at him her jaw locked letting him know he would get nothing out of her.
"Now that's what I like to her a client say," Greenlee looked up shocked as Jesse stood to see who was interrupting his interrogation only to see Liza Colby standing before him.
Jesse hated Liza every time he went after David it seemed she was there to get the man off and now she was here claiming to be Greenlee's lawyer.
"Liza! Always a pleasure." Jesse said calmly trying not to show any emotion that Liza could play off.
"Jesse" she said nodding "Now I believe I just heard Greenlee tell you that she told you before she wasn't going to talk without a lawyer yet here you are questioning her with no one here. I would think you have at least been dumb enough to bring Jackson in with you."
"Well I thought maybe Greenlee would want to end this now without taking this that far. I didn't realize she had representation already."
"Of course you didn't being that she's been here for a few hours and still hasn't had a chance to call anyone. Lucky for her I just happened to be driving near hear when the news broke that she had been arrested and that once again you failed at your job." She knew she was pushing his buttons and he let her. She could see the rage growing inside him. He hated to look like a fool.
While Jesse fumed Liza turned to Greenlee, "So, Greenlee what do you say can I help you get out of here?"
Greenlee simply nodded her head shocked that Liza would agree to represent her.
"Well then I guess this is settled. Jesse if you could leave me alone with my client." She sat down where Jesse had been sitting when she walked in. He stood there for a moment and finally walked out of the room.
"Jesse what's going on?" Jackson demanded "What's Liza doing here?"
"She says she just happened to be driving by when the news broke about Greenlee's arrest and she's offered to represent Greenlee."
"So Greenlee still isn't saying anything then?" Jack said shaking his head "What is she thinking why is she so willing to protect that man?"
"Jack calm down" Erica placed her hand on his shoulder, "Greenlee made her choice she has to live with it now. You can't get upset about this."
"Erica you deserve justice for what David did to you. So do all the people who were kept from their loved ones. And now my daughter has a hand in letting him get away with his crimes again!" Jack hung his head in shame. All around him were people that David had hurt he had never been so ashamed of his daughter as he was now.
Back in the interrogation room Liza and Greenlee talked about how to get her out of this mess. Greenlee told Liza how she had called Count du Pres and convinced him to let David exam him so that David could get out of the country. Liza believed she had enough to get the charges dismissed at arraignment.
Liza got up to leave before she got to the door she turned back to her client, "Greenlee I'm going to try and get you arraigned tonight but I have a feeling the D.A. will get that pushed back. You'll probably spend the weekend here. I'll try and use your issues with small spaces to convince a judge to take the case tonight but it's late and I don't think he'll buy it."
"Thanks Liza, I'll make the best of it. It's not like it the first time I've spent a few nice in these luxurious accommodations. I'll be ok." She hated that she was going to spend another night in this place but she would manage for David's sake.
"Greenlee there's something else you should know…" Liza kneeled down to be at eye level with the young woman and placed her hands on top of the other woman's hands. "I wasn't anywhere near here when you were brought in. You have a friend who called me and asked me to help you. He can't be here with you or help you anymore than bringing me in to help you. He wants you to know you chose the right side." With those simple words Liza let Greenlee know she wasn't alone in all this. Liza stood up and walked out.
Later that night Greenlee sat on the bed in cell, her home for the next few days, Liza had been right the judge had agreed to give the D.A. more time and pushed the arraignment to Monday morning. She was stuck here for the next three days. The only thing keeping her from having a complete meltdown was thinking about Leo and the life they had shared together.
Jesse's voice cut through her memories "Greenlee you have a visitor."
She looked up and saw Ryan standing by the cell door.
