Shortly after the two had walked out of the resturant together,each still laughing over a joke that Scotty had told. Yet, it was a good sign that their first together was still going well. Once they were both inside the car, Lilly shook her head," I never knew you were good at joke telling?"

" Nick told me the joke," informing her," He's been missin me down at Jones." As Scotty started the engine, she glanced over," I don't care if you go Scotty, you should."

He knew that Lilly was right, but his mind was on both this case and the baby; that have a few drinks with a few of the guys wasn't so bad. The trip back was other without any interruptions, not about work that is; until Scotty had to pull over and head into a store to her some icecream. That by which, wasn't the right flavor either.

With a sigh, he once again got out and headed back inside. During the second time around, Scotty came out with a box of Oreo Cookies instead. Since now, Lilly wanted that more than the ice cream. Of course, she immediately snatched it out of his hand.

Once his car had pulled up in front of her house, Scotty leaned over; kissing her cheek," It didn't seem like you enjoyed the resturant."

" I did, why are you rushing off?" , she questioned.

Scotty smiled," We going to sit here and freeze?," as the two got out and headed up the steps to her front door. Unknown to them, that Emily was watching them in disguise. Her anger flowed, knowing that she had to convince Lilly to drop the investigation on the cult.

These people were her family, and having these cops destory this wasn't going to happen. Especially once they had pretended to be married, in order to solve their case.

For one, she wanted things to stay the way that they always were. Not with these two and their squad poking around. As Emily drove off, she knew what she had to do.

Four Hours Later

While the two detectives lay asleep in bed together, Scotty's cell rang loudly; rousing him out of a deep sleep. He listened carefully, before putting his phone down. With a sigh, he glanced over at Lilly; before leaning down ; kissing her cheek.

Luckily, that didn't wake her. That was the last thing that Scotty wanted right now. After getting dressed quickly, he headed down to the crime scene.

However, this promted Stillman to have both him and Vera doing a stakeout together; the very next night after a tip came in alerting them that several of the cult members were seen, near an abandoned apartment building.

Although it put it a damper on the plans that both Scotty and Lilly had for the evening, they both knew that solving this case was equally important. Sitting in the car with Vera, wasn't exactly what he had in mind," Lil keeping you from heading down to Jones?"

"Just been busy, getting ready for the baby."

Vera groaned, " Drove me nuts today, sent me out to Geno's for a cheesesteak then when I get back she's complaining about how I forget to get her some organic apple juice."

Rolling his eyes, Scotty understand how he felt, but as the two continued sitting inside the car; they both were hoping to catch at least one of the cult members. As the night progressed,but for Lilly she was inside of an apartment; just two blocks from where she lived.

The woman that Lilly was interviewing said that she was a former member of the cult, but didn't get a sense that this was another trick. Instead, was glad that someone had come forward; with new evidence," None of them like outsiders, everyone is family. I mean genetically, the spririt is the real leader but appoints one to four people to speak as if they are one. No one knows who the spririt is, we have to obey the rules."

" You said that you had evidence reguading the recent murders?" Lilly asked, before noticing a photo of both Emily and Cassie on the table; next to her," How do you know these two?"

" They were my sisters, I was the outsider growing up. Didn't felt as if I belonged, Emily's distrubed always has been. Cassie too, when we were little we were raised by people that weren't our parents. It wasn't until I was eight that I had discover that our real mother was outsider. She managed to escape, but came back for me. Never saw her again."

Lilly felt bad for Tabitha, whom wasn't at all manipulated like her other sisters were. In fact, she seemed to be a very stable individual," You need to tell me what you know about the recent murders. Those people didn't deserve to die."

Tabitha took a few breaths, before taking out a box of photos, " I found these, once when I was taken to Rosemary's house. Saw these photos and took them," as her eyes filled up with tears," This is the place where I watched people being killed. One of the elders told me that the photos needed to be taken, serving as a warning for anyone that tries to escape."

" Do you know where this place is?", asked Lilly, as she gently touched Tabitha's hand," Why is this cult killing people and dumping them here in Philly?" It was clear that the yougner woman knew the answer," Why just drive for a long time, why not dump them close?"

" One of the members lives here in Kensington; under an alias. We all live under one, don't even have a birth certificate. I don't know who the person is. Every other cult has a doom date; this one will be happening in a few months."

That peeked Lilly's own interest," How do you know this?", before Tabitha was shot by Emily herself. Her eyes were intense, " Fell for my act and now my baby sister's. You are one dumb bitch, even stupid enough to let youself get knocked up ."

Lilly kept her gun trained on Emily,"On the ground NOW," she said firmly, as Emily now lunged at her with a knife, before both Stillman and Kat came bursting in.

Headquarters

With Stillman obeserving, Lilly now slammed the door to the interrogation room," You're a liar Emily, a bit one. Lied to be about how much you loved you baby, prentended to be my best friend. Now I know that you are just like everyone else."

" Your baby will be stillborn, most woman do after being taken and purified."

Lilly wasn't buying into anything that Emily was saying," At least I love my child, that's more than you could say."

" The spririt rejected her, it was the only way for me to be accepted back in. I wasn't supposed have gotten pregnant, you know the rules. I do know what could solve this case, but ratting out my family isn't something I'd do. "

That's when the door slammed shut, as a chair was kicked aside, " We don't buy a word of what you are saying," Scotty said, " Your family is stupid enough to call our boss and give us a bogus tip. All we want to know is where they are now."

Emily's demonour went unchanged, as she crossed her arms.

As the two detectives walked out and into the observation, Scotty had some more dirt on Emily," Nick and Will are in another, talking to the idiot who called boss up with a tip."

" Even if we get these two to crack, it won't do us any good Lil. They ain't respected in the cult anyways, we both know that. "

Lilly sighed," Emily tried to attack, I should have known better."

" Tabitha wasn't lying Lil, she doesn't have an connections to the cult anymore. Nothing in her house had suggested that, I even spoke to her. The woman was trying to do the right thing. Apparently Emily wanted to silence her sister, because of something she knew."

" Emily's just nuts Scotty, look at her. "

However, the detectives were getting closer to the truth, but it would take about six more months before all hell would break loose. For now, Scotty lead her out of obeservation," Whatever they did to us, didn't split us. Whatever Emily told you about our baby, isn't true. "

She knew that," Tonight's my baby shower, heard that yours is tommorrow, " as he handed her a set of keys,"I love you," he mouthed.

With a small smile,Lilly headed out and back home; with the fear still omipresent in her mind.
