The car had been driving for quite a while, long enough for her to fall asleep. She woke to a loud thudding noise as they pulled off on a gravel road. She looked out the window trying to figure out where they were going, but all she could see was black. Looking at the familiar person in the driver's seat, she wanted to puke.

"What do you want with me?" she questioned

He looked at her through the rear-view-mirror and seemed to smile. "Were just going to have a little chat." He replied.

"Were going to have a chat in the middle of nowhere?" she questioned.

She heard him laugh, before she heard him flip on the radio to drain her out. She closed her eyes and let her head fall back on the seat again, she suddenly felt very nauseous.

Matt sat on the porch with a glass of water staring at the three police officers that were sitting in front of him. He could feel everyone's eyes on him and he couldn't help but feel like somehow in someway this was his fault.

He had heard Kris mumbling, had seen her shaking, and had followed her eyes to the very thing she was looking at. He had assumed she was seeing things, the only problem with that was as his eyes followed her gaze he saw him too.

He could feel his hands shaking as he looked from one officer to another. He let out a huge sigh before replying to their question "where do I begin?"

"Why don't you start by telling us what exactly happened at the club" Pablo seemed to clip out. Matt didn't know if he had ever seen him this worked up, and he silently nodded his head in response.

"We decided to have a night out, get Kris away from everything for awhile. Dani and I were dancing and we saw Jace walk up and start talking to Kris."

He seemed to look around then before turning to Pablo and saying "where is Jace?"

--

She could feel each bump in the road, sending her nerves into a frenzy. They had been driving for a really long time and she momentarily wondered where he was taking her. The car slowed and she looked around at the total and utter darkness surrounding the windows.

The car turned as it did she could a small mailbox off to the side of the road. Where in the world were they? As the car lurched to a stop she could see a small light in the distance, illuminating a small wood cabin. As the guy hopped out of the car she noticed another figure, dimly lit, standing on the porch.

She saw the man walk to the porch and talk to the guy for a moment before coming back to the car and opening her door. Taking a deep breath, she momentarily contemplated running but knew how stupid it would be as she had no idea where they were. The guy grabbed her arm as she got out of the car and lead her to the porch and the shadowed man waiting for her.

--

Pablo seemed to look around as well "Did anyone call Jace and tell him what happened?" As heads were shaking no, Dani jumped up and offered to do it and as she left the porch Matt could feel Pablo's eyes on him.

"Now that you've used up that excuse, why don't you tell us what really happened." He snapped at Matt.

Matt could feel himself getting frustrated, especially with Pablo. Who the hell was he to interrogate him like this? He could feel the cops staring at him and he looked down at his hands and could see that they were once again shaking.

"What do you mean?" he asked Pablo, his voice trembling slightly.

He could see Pablo's eyebrows rise, almost in a challenge.

"Don't lie to me Matt, and don't even think for a second you can pull that. What are you hiding?"

--

Matt seemed to look away as Dani came back outside. Noticing the tension she gave Matt a questioningly look before responding to what everyone was wondering.

"Jace didn't pick up his phone he must be out of reception because it went straight to voicemail."

She noticed that no one seemed to respond to her, looking at Jean she noticed that everyone's eyes were on Matt. She looked to Matt and noticed that he seemed to be avoiding everyone's gaze and was shaking a bit. She momentarily wondered what had happened while she was in the house. And then she saw Pablo stand up.

The next thing she knew Matt was pressed against the wall and Pablo was in his face. She looked at Jean and the three police officers wondering if they were going to do anything but no one was moving. She could see Matt looking at her, almost pleadingly and then she spoke.

"What the hell is going on?"

--

Pablo was shaking from anger, and he knew he was close to losing control. What was this kid trying to pull talking back to him and lying? "You better think carefully before you speak." He murmured to Matt.

Matt seemed to look beyond his head to what Pablo was assuming was his mother and then he heard her speak.

"Let him go, Pablo"

He turned to look at Jean and quietly nodded his head, removing his hands from Matt's collar and stepping back. He could see Jean staring at Matt and he momentarily wondered if she could sense that he was lying as well.

"Matt," he stated and he could feel his voice breaking with emotion.

"You may not understand this but Kris is the closest thing to a daughter I have ever had. Please, please, just tell us what you know."

Matt seemed to look from Jean to Pablo to Dani and he nodded his head quietly as he sat down in one of the porch chairs. His hands shook as slowly massaged his forehead.

"She saw someone at the club," he stated "someone that surprised her, startled her. She stumbled backwards, almost fell over. I caught her and I heard her mumbling. I didn't believe what she was saying, it didn't make sense. I thought she was drunk or tired." He rambled.

He reached over and grabbed Dani's hand and Pablo momentarily felt around for Jeans. He had a feeling that he was going to need it.

"Who did she say she saw, Matt?"

--

Dani could feel Matt's hand shaking in her own and she wondered what would have made him so worked up. She saw tears start to fall down his face and his voice trembled as he spoke.

"She said she saw Junior" he replied.

She could feel her hand jerk out of Matt's as she looked at him questioningly.

"Matt, that is impossible," she replied "Junior is dead."

He seemed to look at her for only a moment before he turned and seemed to look into the night, he let out a large sigh as he replied.

"Dani, I saw him too."
