In this second installment, all our heroes and heroines seem to be Acting Out.
Chapter 2: Innocence Lost
Eli was taken away and thrown in jail. The deputy asked Rick, "What should we do with his guitar?"
Rick told them to lock that blasted guitar away, too, then went home to see if Lily was in the mood for a little nookie.
Eli showed no fear, but swaggered into the jail cell with his trusty guitar. He surveyed the rough crowd in his jail cell. He could take them on, he could take them all on. A skinny, bearded man with an asspole to match Karen's slithered up to Eli, grabbed one of his guitar strings, and yanked it out. He stared at Eli while flossing his teeth with the guitar string. Asspole Man eyed Eli up and down, then in a creepy voice said to Eli, "Well, hellooooo. I'm Miles Drentell. I knew your father, and now I'm very, very pleased to meet you, Eli. Let's get acquainted, shall we?" Smiling, he removed the pole.
Down the hall the sheriff and deputy were startled from their work by a sudden yell from the jail cell, "NOOOOOOOO!!!"

Jake, infuriated that Lily's newest husband's loser son attacked his little
girl, announced all too loudly that he was going to the jail to confront Eli.
Lily, fearful of what her rage-aholic ex-husband was capable of, insisted that
she go with him.
When Jake stormed into the police department, dragging Lily in tow, they found that Rick was already there. He was laying into Eli when Lily stepped in. "I think, you know, once, just once, you should consider the fact that your son might be innocent!" After all, while she knew she should side with Grace, part of her didn't believe her. And how could someone who looked so adorable in his underwear, (as she blushed to recall the towel scene) sexually attack her daughter? If he hadn't found her attractive enough to attack, then how could he have gone after Gracie?
Just at that moment Tad ran into the prison crying, "Eli! Eli! My love, I came to save you! Don't you worry, sweetest heart!"
Lily realized, "Hey, the reason this dude did not fall for me is because he is gay." So she was happy again; after all, no man in his right mind wouldn't fall for her charm... "But wait -- what is wrong with this Dimitri guy, why did he never fall for me?" Lily thought. "Why is he after Grace? After all, I baked all those pies for him on Thanksgiving, did.he.not.get.it?!!!!"
