Chapter 21
"You two suit up!" Wilonsky ordered, throwing Phineas and Isabella a pair of bulletproof vests.
Phineas and Cho had made it to the federal building just in time to see a team of FBI agents gearing up for a raid.
"Are we going in with you?" Phineas asked out of curiosity.
"Hell no, you two are staying in the car." Wilonsky answered abruptly
Phineas held up his hands in defense, slipping under the vest. After he had secured his, he helped Isabella with hers. Isabella began to turn red as she felt her boyfriend's firm hands on hers.
"Hey! Lovebirds! Less flirty, and more moving, we have to go!" Wilonsky ordered with urgency.
The two lovebirds instantly turned three shades of red. Cho and Nagata were heard attempting to suppress their laughter as they rushed to their cars to begin the first step in a long journey to justice for Ferb.
Baljeet sat on his couch, sighing heavily as he turned on the television set. As the screen slowly formed an image, Baljeet thought about the events of two nights ago. Ginger had completely forgotten about him. How could I have been so stupid? He thought to himself, he was thinking for a while until a knock at his door woke him from his stupor. He rose from his couch and shuffled towards the door. When he opened the door, he was surprised to see Ginger waiting there for him.
"Ginger?" Baljeet asked.
"Hi Baljeet," Ginger answered sheepishly
"What are you doing here?"
"I was just wondering if you and I could talk about something. May I come in?"
"FBI! Search Warrant!" Cho yelled before breaking down the door violently with a battering ram.
The door flew open widely and a team of eight FBI agents with their weapons drawn, entered the house. Phineas and Isabella stayed outside, getting Phineas' devices ready as they cleared the house. After a few tense minutes, someone called down,
"All Clear!"
They entered the house to find the FBI agents already starting the collection of evidence.
"Was the battering ram really necessary Ben?" Isabella asked, surprised.
"Hell yeah! We have no clue if our little 'friend' here came back for seconds." Cho answered in a mock diva tone.
Isabella rolled her eyes as Nagata giggled to herself.
"Hey guys! I found it!" Phineas called.
Cho, Nagata, Isabella, and Wilonsky all rushed to the guest bedroom, the same place Phineas found the evidence.
"Is it still there Phineas?" Isabella asked
"Yeah, here it is," he answered, handing the box to Wilonsky.
Wilonsky opened the contents and handed the journal bit to Cho, while Nagata took the newspaper articles as evidence. Cho looked over the journal, attempting to figure out what was going on in Ms. Davis' mind. He was still looking through page one, when he was rudely interrupted.
"What's going on here?",
It was Sydney Lancer,
"What are you doing in my house? You have no right to be here!" Sydney argued.
"Yes we do. Know what this piece of paper is?" Wilonsky asked, showing her a packet of papers,
"A search warrant…" Sydney muttered disdainfully.
"Bingo! Now step aside!" Wilonsky ordered.
Sydney reluctantly agreed as she watched her home torn apart from top to bottom by a team of Federal Agents.
"What's this all about?" she continued to ask, after ten minutes of watching them search the guest bedroom.
"It seems as if you've been lying to us Ms. Lancer. You told me Ruby Davis hadn't spoken or had contact with you for over three months." Wilonsky answered.
"What?" Sydney cried in shock, "I swear I told you the truth! We haven't spoken in months! I…" she yelled.
"Then how do you explain this?" Nagata interrupted, showing her the journal with Ruby's writing in it. "We found her prints all over this room."
"Looks like she's been here to me" Cho added.
Phineas and Isabella nodded, further adding anxiety to the already stressed-out Sydney. Sydney's eyes began to well with tears and she continued to deny that she had anything to do with Ruby.
"Let's all go down to our office, you've got some questions to answer for us Ms. Lancer," Wilonsky suggested.
"Where were you the night of January 21st?" Wilonsky asked, pacing around the dark interview room.
The interview room of the FBI office wasn't too shabby, but the walls mimicked a prison holding cell, dark grey and plain. The windows were barred, allowing little sunlight in and there was a dim light that served as a light source. There was a small metal table at the center with two or three chairs. Phineas, Isabella, Cho, and Nagata all watched behind the glass that would allow outsiders to peer in, but the people inside could only see a reflection.
"I told you I was at home, watching a movie" Sydney answered.
"When did Ms. Davis contact you that day?"
"She didn't, I only heard from her in an email she sent a year ago."
"Are you sure? Because you told me that you hadn't spoke to her for at least a year!" Wilonsky continued, growing increasingly frustrated by her lies.
"I told you all I could! What else do you want?" Sydney yelled
"The truth Ms. Lancer!" Wilonsky countered.
Sydney's face turned from a look of disdain to a look of absolute panic. She was caught, she knew it, and so did Wilonsky.
"I want a lawyer…" Sydney muttered.
Wilonsky sighed heavily, picked up his coat and left the room. When the door opened the four of them looked up to see a distraught Wilonsky with an exasperated look on his face.
"She's lying and now she's using the lawyer defense…you saw that right Ben?"
"Yes sir I did."
"You know she's lying."
"Correct, she's trying to protect her friend from prosecution." Cho answered
"Then we can arrest?" Isabella chimed in.
"Not so fast Isabella, we can't do that unless Ms. Ramos approves it. Plus we don't have sufficient evidence to keep her here." Wilonsky answered.
"Approve what?" A voice asked, walking into the room.
Everyone turned to find Ramos with a coffee mug in her hands and a brief case in the other.
"The arrest of our suspect for obstruction of justice." Cho answered flatly.
"On what grounds?"
"She's lying to us to protect Ruby. We know she was in that guest room in her home" Nagata answered.
"Did she ask for her lawyer?"
"Already did, he's on his way."
"Alright, whatever you did to my client, she didn't do it" another voice called
the six of them turned to see a handsome Caucasian man in a business suit carrying a brief case.
"We'll see Mr. Desmond," Ramos replied flatly, dismissing at as she entered the interview room.
Isabella slowly turned to face the glass. She saw Mr. Desmond and Sydney whispering something to each other as Ms. Ramos looked over case files. After ten minutes or so of Ramos and Desmond fighting it out,
"Alright then, how would a plea bargain do?" Desmond asked,
"Depends James, what do you have for me?" Ramos replied,
"My client will give a statement, on the condition that you will not press charges on her. "
"Deal, spill."
Isabella looked to Phineas who only shrugged. She then looked to Cho,
"She can do that, it's not like we had a case on Ms. Lancer anyways." Cho answered,
Sydney sighed as she began to tell her story of that stormy night.
She said that it was like any ordinary night; she was sitting on her couch, watching a movie when someone knocked on her window. She lifted the shades and saw Ruby standing outside. She ran to the door and let her friend in. Sydney recounted what Ruby told her. Ruby had confessed to murdering Ferb and was practically hysterical. She told Ramos that Ruby had planned to go see her mother New york and stay there.
Phineas, Isabella, Cho, and Nagata exchanged surprised glances.. Wilonsky had then entered,
"What's going on?" Wilonsky demanded
"We may have a new location on Ruby, Sydney confessed to it all." Cho answered
"So where would that be?"
"New York."
"Great, I'll let the New York office know, in the meanwhile I want you four to find anything you can about Ruby Davis here, go into her criminal record, talk to more of her friends, people who knew her. We've already got all we could on her family." Wilonsky ordered.
The four of them nodded as they went straight to work.
