The day was finally over and Shelby would mentally kick herself the whole ride home. "Why did I tell him I would go out with him? Am I stupid? I need to talk to Maxine."

Over the course of the next week Shelby tried to reach Maxine unsuccessfully and finally decided on dropping by the raven haired womans'
office. Even that hadn't been her own idea but Caleb had suggested it, although he questioned the sense in the action.

"I just need to talk to her. Back when we were first starting out with the task force I advised her to push back and threaten to walk ... so I need to talk to her now and get her side of the story. You have heard your brother: He is heartbroken!" had been her own reasoning.

"Admit it, you just don't want to be the reason they broke up. You want to hear that there is something else going on." Caleb knows her so well. He can still read her like an open book. "Yes, No ... Maybe! I just can't believe she would walk away. And I clearly did nothing to even lead him on. Remember we even pretended to be something again! So, I really need to hear it from Maxine herself."

A young woman let Shelby enter and lead her to the office. "Just take a seat and Miss Griffin will be with you shortly."

After a couple of minutes Maxine finally came in but stopped dead in her track when the two women's eyes meet.

"What are you doing here? Come to gloat?" she fired the first shot when she regained her voice and composure.

Shelby was shocked and didn't know what to say at first but a bad feeling came over her.

"I wanted to talk to you about your break-up and ask why you left..."

"Why I left? did you hit your head recently?"

"I guess I got a wrong story here. But let me assure you I am not here to gloat. I wanted to help fix this mess. What the hell happened?"

Shelby interjected trying to calm the other woman down. She took her phone out and shot a text to Caleb: "Kill your brother. He lied."

So here it is, my version of what should have happened after Episode 21. I am a Clay/Shelby supporter but I am also with Josh Safran who said in an interview "If we have a couple more seasons..." These two definitely need more time and work out a lot of stuff. This lie is just the start. Oh and just so we can get it out of the way: Yes I would also love Shelby back with Caleb (if they can work their stuff out). Welcome to this ride :)
