This Too Shall Pass 2: Return to Uncertainty
Chapter Three: The Beginnings of Truth
Two months had past and still Jamie lived in a world where the majority hated him. Kingsport was a small, quiet town, where teenage girls didn't mysteriously die. The murder of Amy-Liesel Doherty was still very fresh in everyone's mind.
"With the real killer still out there, everyone is still going to think I killed Amy." Jamie told the now retired Sergeant. Michaels who seemed like his only friend in the Kingsport police dept. Now, Jamie never did really care what people thought of him, and he still didn't, but he also wanted his life back.
"I always knew it wasn't you who killed her." Bill Michaels stated, he had retired because of this case, as he sat on his living room sofa. "That's why I asked you here. I'm now a private detective. I want to help you clear your name and catch this guy."
"Thank you." Jamie said. "But, why?"
"I feel responsible for what happened. This case should have never went to trial. There wasn't hardly enough evidence, no autopsy done, no witnesses. We had a girl stabbed and we needed someone to blame and you were our only suspect." Bill still continued. " I knew you hadn't done it , but I didn't speck up. I should of and I feel guilty for that. And I have a granddaughter about Amy's age, I feel badly for the Dohertys."
"Ok." Jamie said finally. "How do we get this guy?"

While Jamie was trying to find answers, Daniel-Adam was finding hate. On Amy and Dan's birthday that day while, his parents Kathie and Michael and his 10 year old brother David-Douglas went to Amy's grave, Dan gave Jamie a phone call. The same calls he had been giving Jamie since he came home months before. Threatening phone calls, saying that he was going to kill him. Saying things he had half a mind to go do. He never said who he was on the phone but he knew Jamie most likely knew anyway. Dan wanted Jamie to hurt as must as he did, to hurt more then he did even. He did not realize or maybe he didn't even care, that revenge never gives solace or peace.

Caitie sat down and began to read the morning paper. "I can show you a very interesting story." her father replied, glancing at her from the opposite end of the breakfast table.
"And that would be?"
"Page 1. A copy cat murder to Amy-Liesel's. Looks like your friend Jamie is at it again." Caitie's father sneered.
"He's *not* a murderer. He didn't do this." Caitie said depending once again, Jamie's innocence to someone.
"Then why , almost immediately after his release, is someone died?"
"I don't know." Caitie said quietly.

A/N: Looks like the beginnings of a good lifetime movie lol. More and longer later.
