Author's Note: Why do updates always take me forever? I guess I'll never know…Enjoy!

Manny ran quickly down the school hallways. She was in a rush to see Emma get arrested. She had gotten a tip from Craig earlier in the day that she was supposed to get arrested. She raced down the hallways with a glimmer of hope in her eyes. Justice was going to be served, and Emma would be out of her life forever.

She smiled and turned a corner before looking and BAM! She ran into someone. She muttered a faint sorry before she looked at who she bumped into.

"Emma?!?!?! I thought you were supposed to get arrested!"

Emma shrugged. "Why would you think that Manny?"

"Well, didn't you shoot Craig?"

"Were you there to prove I did it?"

Manny froze. For once in their "friendship" Emma had actually thought of decent things to counter Manny's remarks. "Emma, I don't know what to say."

"Then don't say anything." Emma turned to quickly walk away but Manny stopped her.

"You know Emma, you may think you have everyone fooled at the moment, but they will catch on and when they do, you'll be paying a lengthy visit to prison."

Emma shrugged. "How can anyone prove that I did it? How can anyone prove that I didn't? As long as you have no evidence against me, don't say a word."

"Emma!" Manny yelled. "I know you're guilty!"

Emma snickered. 'Prove it," she muttered as she pulled away from Manny's grip and walked down the hallway towards the cafeteria.

Manny sighed as she watched Emma walk away. Someone must have seen the shooting, and she was determined to find out who.

Manny pulled out her clipboard and made a quick list of everyone she knew that was at school the day of the shooting. The people she came up with were: Paige, Liberty, Toby, Kendra, Sean, JT, Jimmy, Ashley, Hazel, Ellie, Marco, Emma, Terri and Spinner. She put the pencil back in her bag.

She ran outside to the basketball court in hopes of talking to anyone about the shooting, but the only one out there was Jimmy, who was just dribbling the basketball back and forth across the court.

"Jimmy!" she yelled as she ran onto the basketball court.

Jimmy grabbed the basketball and gave Manny a weird look. "What do you want?" he asked.

She smiled. "I wanted to know if you had anything to do with the shooting that took place yesterday during the fire drill."

He laughed. "Who are we, Detective Santos?"

She smiled. "Whatever you want to call me…Just tell me if you know anything about the shooting."

He shrugged. "I know that neither me nor Ashley did it, we were both talking on the benches in the front of the school."

Manny nodded as she pulled her pencil out of her bag. "Who else did you see in the front of the school?"

Jimmy went silent as he thought for a minute before he came up with a small list. "Well, I saw Paige, JT, Ellie, Marco, Liberty and Spinner."

Manny crossed those names off her list. "What about Terri?"

Jimmy shrugged. "I haven't seen her lately."

Manny nodded. "And Hazel?"

Jimmy shrugged again.

"Toby?"

He shook his head. "Personally detective, I wasn't paying much attention around me during that drill. I was involved in a deep conversation with Ashley." He cleared his throat. "Manny, what were you doing at the time of the fire drill?"

She smiled. "Talking to Sean."

"Where?" Jimmy asked.

"Over there," Manny said pointing towards the bushes that the gun was found in.

Jimmy nodded slyly. "You know that the gun was found in that exact area right?"

Manny shook her head.

Jimmy chuckled. "It makes me think that maybe you committed the shooting, and this whole detective act is just a huge cover up."

Manny shook her head. "It's not, honestly it isn't."

Jimmy nodded. "Well then, if you claim you didn't do it then you probably didn't. Say, did you see Paige anywhere?"

Manny shook her head.

"Well, ok, I wanted to see if Spinner asked her out yet."

Manny just froze. "Spinner was supposed to ask Paige out?!?"

Jimmy shrugged. "Yeah, he's been talking about it all week."

Manny snickered. "Well, I think Terri asked him out before he had the chance to ask Paige."

Jimmy's mouth suddenly fell open. "NO! Spinner likes her too! He would have said yes! I've got to see what is going on." Jimmy then ran super fast back into the school.

Manny sat down on the court and re-read her list over and over. She was so sure that Emma committed the shooting, but now she started thinking that Toby had an even better motive. She sighed as she stared at her list until she heard movement in the bushes. She stood up and was shocked when she saw the person hiding. "It's you!!!"

The person nodded slowly. "I have all of the information you need to know."

Manny smiled. "I'm listening."

The person looked side to side nervously. "Not here. Meet me in the alleyway beside your house at 9 tonight. We'll talk there."

Manny nodded as she ran back into the school.
