This fanfic takes place after the season two finale.

Seth and Summer ran into the small house. They both instantly froze. They looked down at Marissa. Her face was in complete shock. Her eyes were wide open, and her jaw was slightly dropped. Ryan was lying on his side. His facial expressions showed he was in tremendous pain. Summer looked across the room at Trey. "Oh my god," she gasped. His motionless body was lying in a slowly growing puddle of blood.

Seth didn't know what to say. He was in completely shock. What had happened? He had never seen anything like this. Summer wasn't sure whether Trey was alive, or whether Ryan and Marissa were injured. She pulled out her cell phone and dialed 911.

Seven minutes later, the ambulance and police arrived. Not one word was spoken during those seven minutes. Ryan had passed out. Marissa was still clenching onto the gun. She didn't know why. She didn't even know what had just happened. Her mind was completely frozen.

Two policemen rushed into the room with a stretcher. Trey was lifted onto the stretcher, and a blanket was pulled over his face. He was rolled out of the house. Moments later three more policemen ran inside with another stretcher. Two of them lifted an unconscious Ryan onto the stretcher, and he was taken out. The third policeman looked down at Marissa and saw the gun. He tried to talk to her, but she didn't respond. He forced her up, and put her in handcuffs. Marissa was walked outside and placed into a police car, and driven away.

Seth and Summer stood outside in horror as they watched Marissa become smaller and smaller. Seth noticed his dad's car pull up near the police cars. Sandy quickly got out of the car and ran to Seth and Summer. "What happened," he asked. He was very concerned.

"We don't know," Seth told his dad. "When we walked in, Marissa was in the corner with a gun, Trey was lying in a puddle of blood, and Ryan was lying on his side. Trey and Ryan were taken out on stretchers."

Sandy was completely shocked and worried. "Oh my god. What about Marissa?" he asked.

"She was taken away in handcuffs," Summer told him. She was trying to hold in her tears. She was confused. What had happened? What did Marissa do to get her taken away in handcuffs? She had never been so worried in her life.

Sandy slowly escorted Seth and Summer to his car. They were all shaken up. Seth and Summer got into the backseats, and Sandy got into the driver's seat. They made their way to the hospital.

Jess was driving down the road in her step dad's beamer. She glanced to the passenger's seat and saw all the cash sitting there. She smiled. She couldn't wait to get away, to Vegas. With Trey. She turned down the road that Trey's house was, and immediately saw tons of flashing lights, and cop cars. She drove up and parked her car. She stepped out and saw the crime scene tape around Trey's place.

Jess opened the front door to her car. She reached her hand inside. She grabbed the cash, and threw it under the seat. She stepped back out of the car and closed the door. Jess cautiously walked towards the crime scene. What the hell was going on? She walked up to a person who was standing near the crime scene. "What happened?" she asked.

The man looked down at her. "I'm not sure. I was just walking by when I saw two young men being brought out on stretchers, and a young girl being arrested."

Jess' jaw dropped. Trey had to be one of the young men. His place was now a crime scene, and he was nowhere to be found. She had to find out what had happened. She ran back to her car and got inside. She made her way to the hospital.

Sandy, Summer and Seth all sat in the waiting room. They had only been waiting a few minutes, but it seemed like hours. They all waited impatiently to see Ryan. How were they going to tell him that his only brother was dead? The bullet had went right through Trey's lung, and caused severe internal bleeding.

Finally, their wait was over. Ryan slowly walked into the waiting room. He was fine. He was still in pain from the fight, but nothing serious. He walked with his head low. He had just seen Trey's body. He wanted to say good bye. His face was expressionless. He couldn't cry. He couldn't smile. He couldn't speak. All he could do was slowly walk towards them. Summer ran to him first and hugged him. He was a little taken aback by the hug, but he then understood she was just being a good friend.

Seth patted his back. "You okay?" Ryan didn't answer. "Sorry," Seth said, feeling stupid.

Sandy walked up to Ryan. He put his arm on Ryan's shoulder. "I'm so sorry. But I'm glad you're okay." Ryan didn't have any response. Sandy picked his jacket from the seat and put it on. "I have to go down to the station," he said as he walked out.

Marissa sat in the office. She stared at the wall. She didn't move, except for the minor shaking. She was in complete shock. She didn't just kill someone, did she? She didn't even know. Was Trey alive? Was Ryan okay? Was she going to be okay? How could she live with this? The first tear of the night slowly fell down her face.

A police officer opened the door, and guided Sandy into the office. The officer then left the room. Sandy sat down opposite Marissa. He could see the terror in her eyes. She looked at him, and everything suddenly hit her. She began to cry. Sandy was very patient with her, and comforting. He put his hand on her shoulder, and tried to calm her down. She finally looked up at Sandy. "Is he, alive?" she nervously asked.

Sandy looked down at the table and then back up at her. "No, I'm so sorry," he calmly told her.

She looked down. Her face was trembling. She looked back up. "And Ryan? Is he okay?" she asked.

"He's fine," Sandy assured her. "Just a little shaken up."

Marissa felt relieved.

Sandy looked at her. "Marissa, I know this has got to be hard, but I need to know what happened. If I'm going to represent you, I need to know the full story."

Marissa stared at the wall and started to cry. She had a hard time pulling herself together, but she eventually managed. "I walked in. Trey was strangling Ryan." She paused.

Sandy could see the pain in her eyes. This was very hard for her to say. "What happened next?" he asked.

"I tried to stop him. But he swung at him," she slowly said as she stuttered. "He ripped the phone out of the wall. Lifted Ryan's head." She looked at Sandy's face. "He was gonna kill him, I swear."

Sandy understood the rest of the story. Marissa put her head down onto the table and started to bawl.
