Danny and Lindsey went back to the crime lab after checking out the student union at the university, there was no sign of Emily. Danny then saw Mac as he was leaving his office.
" Mac, we couldn't locate Emily McKenzie. There's been no sign of her at the university."
" Nobody has seen her or knows where she is," Lindsey added," Looks like were at a dead end."
" Maybe not," Mac told them," I got a call from Amanda Crenshaw. She wants a meeting, but I've got a feeling, she's in trouble."
Stella ended up coming up with Flack behind her.
" So what's the plan?" Stella asked," How are we going to handle this?"
" Carefully," Mac answered," Carefully, so nobody gets hurt."
The group made their way to the abandoned building that Amanda mentioned. The place was dark inside and empty. Mac and Stella looked around.
" Is this the right place Mac?"
" This is the place Amanda described."
Mac and Stella continued to look around and saw something in the corner, laying on the ground. As they got closer, they noticed it was Amanda. Mac went up to her.
" Amanda, it's Detective Taylor."
Amanda looked at him.
" Emily."
" Where is she?" Mac asked.
Amanda shook her head.
" I don't know. She pulled me in here and kept saying it's my fault Ethan's dead. I didn't kill him. I think she did. I don't want to believe it."
" What else did she say?"
Amanda again shook her head. Her head hurt from where Emily hit her.
" She doesn't look good Mac. I'm going to call for a bus."
Stella went outside. Mac looked around and saw nothing, but then he heard something.
" Don't move detective," Mac heard," If you value your life."
Mac didn't move.
" Emily you have nowhere to go. This place is surrounded."
Emily moved in front of him.
" It looks to me that I'm the one in control here."
Mac saw that Emily had a gun.
" I had everything perfect, until Amanda here screwed it up. You had to open your mouth didn't you?"
" There's no way out of this Emily. It would be the right decision to.."
" To what? Give myself up. Not a chance."
Emily didn't notice, but Flack and Danny had made their way up behind her.
" Drop your weapon," Flack said.
Emily looked to see Flack and Danny behind her.
" I told you there was no way out," Mac said.
Emily laid the gun on the ground and kept her hands up. Flack was then able to cuff her.
" Emily McKenzie you're under arrest for the kidnapping and assault of Amanda Crenshaw and for the murder of Ethan Crowley," Mac told her.
Stella then came back up.
" Bus is on the way."
Emily looked at all of them.
" You're not going to take me down," Emily said," So back off. I did what needed to be done. Ethan Crowley was a snake and he needed to be taken care of."
" So you decided that you needed to be judge and jury," Mac said," You can't fight the truth Emily."
Emily laughed.
" I can try. I also followed Amanda to the warehouse that night. That little witch led you right to me and Staci. I had to do something for Staci."
" So you made her lie," Stella said," Some friend you are."
Emily looked at her.
" One less snake in this world. Ethan won't hurt anyone again. I made sure of that, along with someone else and I refuse to tell you who that is because I don't betray
my friends. I have nothing more to say without a lawyer present."
" Get her out of her Flack."
" With pleasure. Miss, you're going for a ride."
Emily stopped as Flack tried to take her out.
" You might want to talk to Alex and Joelle. They know the truth. Besides, Alex will want to know what happened to his baby sister. Not that he would care."
Flack then went on with Danny right behind him.
" So what do we do now?" Stella asked.
" Process this scene and then talk to Alex and Joelle. It seems they know more than we anticipated."
