Lincoln was lighting up matches. He watched the flame as it burned. He only had 36 hours left until his execution. He really blew his chances this time. He had his hopes set on being with Jessica and LJ again as a family. The one and last time he will get to see Jessica's beautiful face is before he dies. He kept thinking back to the day he finally realized he loved her.
+ Jessica was sitting on the floor playing with a two year old LJ. He was in the kitchen on the computer looking up somewhere to take her for their six month anniversary. He didn't have a lot of money to his name but that was where stealing copper and selling drugs came in handy. He could actually take the woman he was with out places. He listened to them play and giggle in the living room. When everything got quiet he snuck out to see what they were doing. When he looked his heart swelled in his chest. There Jess was curled up on the couch sound asleep with LJ curled up beside her. Never has LJ taken to any woman like that beside his mother. He instantly knew that she was going to be in his life for a long time and that he had to do everything in his power to make her stay because he was now so in love with her. +
Lincoln closed his eyes and blew out the flame making everything around him go to dark wishing he could just be with the woman who made it all better.

Jessica walked into Nick's room as Veronica and Nick were talking. "What's going on?" she asked coming to stand beside her sister handing her a cup of coffee. "I just got off the phone with a friend of mine from the supreme court and I told him about the evidence we have and he's willing to hear us out. We might actually be able to stop this thing after all." he informed her. Jessica became excited. "That's great. We have to go tell Lincoln." she stated to Veronica. Veronica shook her head. "If I go anywhere near that prison they'll be all over me and you once they realize you're here with us." Veronica informed her shaking her head. Jessica sighed. "You're right damn it." she kicked the end of the chair in anger. She turned back to Veronica. "Well what if instead of hiding in the shadows we decide to go big?" she suggested to them. "What do you mean?" Nick asked her curiously. "I say we take this to the media. We have the evidence for it. Plus there is a string of murders connected to this whole thing. I think we can pull it off." Jessica imputed looking between the other two for their opinions. "Are you ready to show your face? Are you ready to expose your sister?" Nick asked Jessica. "I know you can take care of yourself, but what about her? Are you prepared to take care of her too?" he asked Jessica again making sure she was ready for all this. Jessica looked over at Veronica. "I can do this all on my own. You don't have to do this for me." she stated looking to Veronica. She shook her head. "We do this and we do this together." she confirmed to her. "OK. I think I might have a plan formed." Jessica informed them.

Jessica pulled up to the prison. She seen that there was a protest going on. She let Veronica out. Jessica got out after Veronica and scouted the crowd once she noticed a car with two people that got out after Veronica did. Jessica made her way over to the car. She pulled out a slim Jim and unlocked the car. She opened the door and looked around to see if she found anything. She looked in the glove box and found a bunch of papers. She put them back and a piece of paper fell to the floor. She picked it up and noticed it was a bank account number with an email address. She snapped a picture of it with her phone and put it back. She slid out of the car and locked it back up and made her way over to the crowd to where Veronica was talking to the news crew. Jessica looked into the crowd and seen as two women dressed in suits were watching them. Jessica smirked at them once they realized she was watching them.

Jessica stood to the side as the news crew told Veronica that her story checked out. "Do you mind if we put you on the air?" the woman asked her. Veronica smiled. "That's why I'm here." Jessica watched as Veronica gave her speech about Lincoln being framed. She talked about all the people that have died because of this frame. Jessica walked off and headed toward the front entrance. She had to have a talk with Lincoln.

Jessica was escorted by two guards down to where Lincoln was being held. The one guard opened the door and she looked inside. Lincoln was sitting in the dark. Her heart broke at the sight of him. She turned to the guard. "Why isn't his lights on?" she asked angrily. The guard scoffed. "Because he's being punished." he stated bluntly. "If you don't turn his lights on right now I'm going to get my supervisors down here on you quicker than you can say yes ma'am. Now turn his lights on." she stood her ground and glared. She was straightly calling their bluff but it worked as the guard huffed in anger and turned Lincoln's lights on. She slowly walked inside and kept her eyes on him as the guards shut the door. She started getting butterflies in her stomach all over again. She couldn't remember the last time that happened. She slowly put her arms around him and he pulled her closer to him. She felt all the tension leave his body as he held her. "Are you OK?" he whispered in her ear causing her to shiver as his breath grazed her neck. She nodded not trusting herself to speak. "How's our son?" he asked even though LJ wasn't biologically hers she raised him just as much as Lincoln did. She felt a tear forming. "He's good." she whispered pulling away from the hug. "He's scared but he's OK." she informed him. "Veronica and I found someone who is willing to talk to us." she informed him. "Who?" he asked worryingly. "I don't know yet but Ronnie and I are going to meet with him in a few hours." he just scoffed at her. "A few hours is cutting it pretty close." he retorted. "Hey Nick already got the supreme court to look at your case. I think we can actually beat this thing." she said to him with a smile. "What if you're wrong?" he asked her. She shook her head at him. She grabbed his face with both her hands. "You just have to have a little faith." she threw his words at him. He leaned in and kissed her. She kissed him back lightly. All of her feelings for him returned in that one kiss. She pulled away out of breath. "Be patient." she whispered to him before walking out of the cell.

Jessica was standing in the spot where Hale told her to meet. She convinced Veronica to stay behind at the hospital in case anything happened. Jessica turned when she heard a noise and seen a person walking toward her. When he got closer she realized it was Agent Hale. One of the agents who was after her once she started looking into Lincoln's case. "We have a lot to talk about and a short of time to do it in." She looked at him unamused. "Where's your partner?" she asked him as he kept looking around. "Don't worry about him. You should be worrying about your ex husband he can still be saved." he informed her. "Burrows was hired and paid to be the assassin...but he never pulled the trigger." he started. "Than who did?" Jessica asked curiously. When he hesitated she continued. "Come on who was it? Who killed Terrance Steadman?" she asked him again. He looked at her before answering. "Nobody." he answered simply catching Jessica off guard. "What?" she asked confused. "Terrance Steadman is still alive." Jessica looked at him in shock as he pulled out an envelope. "There are three sheets of paper in this envelope. Inside are the names of everyone who is involved in this from top to bottom. Even someone that you know dearly." he informed her. "What are you talking about?" she asked him. "Who do I know?" she tried to ask him but he started looking over her shoulder. "I need you to hide behind the car now." he told her as she seen headlights from behind her. She quickly hid behind the car and quietly drew her gun.

Jessica watched as Agent Kellerman stepped out of the car. He made his way over to Hale. "What are you doing here David?" he asked looking around. "Where's the detective and the lawyer?" he asked and Jessica tensed. "I don't know what you're talking about." Hale said playing dumb. Kellerman shook his head. "Allison told me everything. I got it out of her." Kellerman informed Hale. "Did you touch her?" he asked worryingly. "Why would I do that? We are on the same side. No I didn't touch her she's fine. But you're going to have to ask yourself who you want to give up, your wife or this detective." Kellerman informed. "Is she here? Has she been here at all? What have you told her?" Paul asked knowing that his partner told her something. "Don't do this." he simply said. Paul got angry at that. "Give me your gun." he demanded. "No." he denied. "I am your superior you will give me your gun." he demanded again drawing his gun on him. David shook his head. "I can't do that." he said to him. Paul reached forward and grabbed his gun from his pocket causing the envelope to fall out. Jessica closed her eyes in defeat as she seen the envelope fall. Jessica watched as Paul picked it up and opened it. "Wow you managed to fit everybody on three pages I'm impressed." he stopped when he seen his name. "You named me?" he asked in disbelief and hurt. "I'm sorry I was scared." David tried to reason. "You named me!" he still was angry. He looked at David before pulling the trigger and shooting him. Jessica thought about aiming her gun at him but stopped when he pulled out his phone. "It's done. I'll bring it right to you." he hung up the phone and got back in the car. After she was sure he was gone she went over to the dead body. She fell back against the car in defeat. Terrance Steadman was alive! She had to tell Veronica about this as soon as possible.
