Author's Note: A huge thankyou to my reviewers: you guys rock! Here's my interrogation chapter, as promised. It's not very Calleigh/Eric, but I needed to do some crime-orientated thing. I've been busy with biology and drama assignments so, I've been a bit preoccupied. Whoops! Anyway, read, review, enjoy! Thank-you.

INTERROGATION ROOM

Eric and Horatio peered through the mirrored glass at Jessica Nielsen, who was tapping nervously on the metal table in front of her.

"What do you think, H?" Eric asked, looking at his superior.

"Let's let the evidence speak for itself," Horatio said, in his usual professional manner.

They both walked into the small interrogation room, Eric taking a seat and Horatio standing by the window.

"Look, how long is this gonna take? Jessica asked impatiently "I have a show to get ready for!"

"We'd have figured you'd be at home, grieving for your best friend." Eric stated bluntly.

"Yeah, well, you know what they say," Jessica answered, looking away "the show must go on."

"Ah, yes," Horatio spoke up, facing Jessica "you're duo. How's that coming along, without the main attraction?"

Jessica frowned.

"As well as can be expected," Jessica said vaguely "she wasn't the only talented performer. I had skill."

"You must have been angry when Christina got offered a recording contract. And you didn't."

"Christina got a recording contract?" Jessica asked, shocked.

"Don't act so surprised." Eric said, shoving a photocopy of the letter in front of her.

"I've – I've never seen that before!" Jessica exclaimed.

"I think the evidence will disagree with you on that one," Horatio stated "we found your fingerprints on the letter."

"Okay, I saw it," Jessica said, folding her arms "so I hid it from her."

"Why?" Eric asked.

"I was angry!" Jessica cried "When we started this, we made a pact that if we made it big, we'd do it together. And then I find out that she gave them a demo tape! I was pissed off! She always gets everything- the fans, the encore the guys…" Jessica trailed off.

Horatio and Eric stared at her.

"It just wasn't fair, that's all." Jessica looked at her hands.

"In addition to that, we found tire tracks at the crime scene," Eric said, "The tread marks are the same as those on your motorbike."

"That can't be!" Jessica cried "I wasn't anywhere near the lookout that night!"

"We found evidence of your bike being there," Horatio said, staring at Jess intently "and you've certainly have a motive-"

Jessica cut him off.

"I didn't kill her!" She yelled, "She was my best friend."

"Then tell us where you were the other night." Horatio demanded.

"After the show, Christina left with Josh," Jessica answered, sighing, "I stayed, had a few drinks and went to my room."

"That's what happened?" Eric asked.

"Yes!" Jessica said firmly "I may be guilt of jealously, but I'm not guilty of murder!"

Horatio and Eric excused themselves from the room.

"I think she's telling the truth, H," Eric stated, looking at a nervous Jessica through the glass.

"Me too," Horatio paused, and sighed "which brings us back to square one."

One final note: I was so tempted to put in something about Horatio putting on his sunnies and placing his hands on his hips, but he wouldn't do that in the lab. Sigh, gotta love Horatio and his sunglasses of justice. Sorry if it's boring, but I needed it in the story. So go on, what are you waiting for? Review!
