Another short chapter, sorry. I apologize for the lack of romance, I try to work subtly, but it doesn't always turn out the way I want it to. I was running out of steam and inspiration at the time. But I promise I'll make a good interrogation chapter for next time. Ah, my head is spinning out of control with ideas. I think I'm going to be sick!

THE LAB

Calleigh was busy reading through the letters she found in the victims dressing room. She frowned and rubbed her forehead.

"A long Valentines Day?" Eric asked as he entered the lab.

"The longest," Calleigh said, stretching "there's over 50 letters here from Franco. Each one as grammatically incorrect as the next."

"Are they that bad?" Eric asked, leaning over her shoulder.

"Yes, and when I finally get past the spelling, well, lets just say I can't blame them for being scared of him."

'Let me read," Eric skimmed over one of the letters. " 'I need to know if you feel the same way about me. I hate the way you look at that jackass. I want to rip out your eyes and keep them with me, so I'm the only one you look at.' " Eric put the letter down. "This guy is a freak."

"That's one of the tamer letters. The rest are much worse." Calleigh said, shuddering.

"I ran the tire track on Jessica's bike to the one we found at the scene." Eric said "It's a match."

"So that means Jessica's bide was at the lookout at the night of the murders." Calleigh looked puzzled. "I just don't understand why she would kill her best friend."

Eric and Calleigh sorted through the letters, (their hands brushing on more than one occasion) until Eric noticed something.

"This one's not from Franco." Eric said, opening it up "It's from Lighthouse Records."

"Let me have a look," Calleigh said, Eric handing her the letter " 'Dear Miss Claire, thankyou for sending us your tape. We were very impressed by your sound and would like to offer you a deal with our studio…' " Christina was being offered a recording contract!"

"Jessica wouldn't have been too happy about that, especially since it would split up her duo." Eric stated.

"Yes and only Christina being offered a chance at the big time." Calleigh replied.

"Sounds like a motive for murder to me." Eric said, reading over the letter.

Calleigh nodded in agreement.

"And me."

Author's Note: Hope that was fun for you. With the letter from Franco, I asked my friend, who was the basis for my character 'Jess' if the letter was creepy and she said it was. I just remembered I have sports day tomorrow. Oh gosh, I hope I can get out of it. Wish me luck!
