Samine's shock was so great that it didn't register when someone came up to her and snapped handcuffs on her wrists as she stared at Gibbons and someone felt for a pulse. Her voice wouldn't work when they called for paramedics and someone lead her out of the office and past Xander who was fighting against some guards. His struggles stopped when he saw her being lead out of the office in handcuffs and she dropped her head, not able to look him in the eyes, not wanting to see what was in his eyes. She kept her head bowed all the way to the police car outside and slipped into the backseat and had new pity for criminals that she once put into the back of a police car. A few hours later she found herself in an interrogation room already been finger printed and had her mug shot taken, the chair she was in was uncomfortable, she was starving, and she was not a happy camper. When the investigators walked in she glared at them evilly and also at the mirrored window in the room knowing that several people were probably behind it watching the interaction.

            "Okay Samine…tell us what happened?" he asked cockily as he leaned his hip against the table and the other investigator stood in a dark corner.

            "About what?" she asked planning on making it has hard for them as she could.

            "Why you tried to kill Gibbons."

            "I didn't try to kill him you assholes. Xander Cage and I were off on vacation when I got a call from Gibbons asking us to come back. We did and went straight to see him; we didn't find him in the main room so I went looking for him. Walked into his office and he was already shot and on the desk bleeding. I went to feel for a pulse and that's when you and the circus burst in," she said looking directly at him the entire time.

            "That's not how we figure it."

            "Yeah well every time you've figured something it turns out wrong. Are you still holding a grudge about that case you bumbled up and I saved your ass on?" she asked as she kept her hands under the table and away from his neck.

            "You've been holding a grudge against Gibbons for bringing you back into the NSA, you got tired of always being called on for missions. You knew Gibbons wouldn't let you go so you decided to let him go first. When you and Mr. Cage got in and you went to, every so kindly, go and find Mr. Gibbons; you found him in his office, alive. You shot him with your Sig Sauer, tossed the used clip and replaced it with a fresh clip so all the bullets would still be there."

            "Did your mommy tell you that fiction story or did you make it up all by yourself? If that's how it went down where in the hell did I toss the used clip? Why didn't anyone hear anything? I didn't have a silencer on the gun," she said counting the things off on her fingers.

            "Well we know it's your gun, the bullet came back as being used especially for a Sig Sauer. Which coincidentally is your gun."

            "Sig Sauers are popular gun among the right people. I certainly hope that you have someone investigating the papers that had been burned in the waste basket; they were still smoking when I walked into the office. Gibbons did say that he had a new mission for us when we got back; he said that we were the only ones he really trusted with it. He told me he was on a secure line but didn't feel safe with it, which leads me to believe that the problem he was referring to was within the NSA. A leak or a mole maybe," she said shrugging her shoulders.

            "Were you the leak and he found out? Is that why you tried to kill him?" he asked and Samine had to hold herself back from jumping across the table and decking his lights out.

            "If I was the leak why would he ask Xander and me to investigate it? You're wasting my time here detective. Both you and I know that I didn't do it."

            "Oh you see we know that you did it. We have you on video coming into his office and shooting him three times."

            Samine's jaw dropped in shock as she stared at the detectives after they said that. Her jaw uselessly flopped open and close trying to get it to work without success.

            "You what?" she asked shocked making sure she heard him right.

            Without saying anything he walked over to the cart that had the television and tape recorder on it. Turning on the television he pushed in the tape and Samine watched closely as static came on the television screen. It finally cleared and she saw Gibbons sitting at his desk working on paperwork with the music playing in the background. After a few minutes the door flew open and she was shocked to see herself walked through the door and lift her arm holding the gun. She jumped hearing about three gun shots and saw Gibbons jerk back three times from the impact before collapsing on the desk. She apparently turned and walked back out the door and closed it behind her. The tape ended and the detective ejected it from the recorder and held it up with a smile.

            "I think that's enough evidence that we need, don't you think?"

She turned when someone knocked at the door and sighed in frustration when he walked over and whispered through the cracked door to whoever knocked. A few minutes later they left the room and she turned when someone new walked in. She smiled faintly when she saw it was Xander who closed the door quickly behind him and sat in the chair across from her.

            "Are you alright Samine?" he asked concerned seeing how tired she looked.

            "Do you really need to ask me that X? You were behind that mirror you saw what they played. They actually have proof that I tried to kill Gibbons and yet I didn't," she muttered and laid her head on the table and looked to the side.

            She slowly became aware that he didn't say anything to quell her observations and fears. Slowly lifting her head she looked at Xander who kept his face blank but she could read his eyes, she could read his eyes better than anyone. Even himself.

            "You think I did it didn't you? I can't believe you Xander, you think that I tried to kill Gibbons!" she yelped and saw the immediate guilt in his eyes but he tried to deny it.

            "No I don't Samine. I just don't know what to believe. I mean they have a tape of you shooting him-"

            "A tape of someone shooting him! Not exactly me," she snapped and leaned back in the chair looking at Xander in disgust.

            "Don't look at me like that Samine."

            "Look at you like what Xander? My own partner, my lover thinks that I shot and tried to kill my boss, the closest thing I have to a father-figure and I shot him. If you think that I shot him then you really don't know me at all," she snapped cruelly and stood up when the door opened and a police officer came in to take her to a cell.

            On the way out she paused at the doorway and turned a bit to look back at Xander who remained at the table with his head bowed.

            "You should also know Xander." His head turned a bit to hear her clearer as she licked her dry lips. "I shoot to kill. And he's not dead."

Okay everyone there is the new chapter, hope everyone likes it and I have to put this out there because I'm just laughing too hard when I read everyone's reviews saying that they know who the killer is. It is NOT Shavers. He has a part in it but he's not the killer so everyone stop thinking that way and just read the story. It's going to be someone that you would never expect. See I did plan on having it Shavers but then I realized my stupidity at putting that last line in at the end of the last story so I had to rework it and I like the way it came out. So everyone R/R for me and I'll keep on typing. Peace.
