"You have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law."

"I didn't do anything!" Jess defended as they locked the handcuffs around his wrists.

"You have the right to an attorney, if you can't afford one, one will be provided for you."

"This is crazy! Luke do something!" Jess yelled.

"Detective Cook." Luke began. "Please..."

"I'm sorry Mr. Danes." Cook replied. "We have to follow the law."

The police officers guided Jess down the steps of the diner. Luke followed closely behind.

"I demand to know what evidence you have." Luke stated.

Cook turned around. "Your nephew's shirt was found laying under Taylor's couch. It was covered in blood."

"That's not enough evidence to arrest someone." Luke defended.

"Also, he can't account for where he was during the time of Taylor's murder."

"So that's it?" Luke asked. "Do you know where you were when Taylor Doose died?" Luke shot back.

"Yes." Cook replied. "I was sleeping peacefully, and had no knowledge of this town or it's existence." She left the diner.

Luke immediately picked up the phone.

"Hello?"

"Lorelai, they arrested Jess." Luke replied frantically.

"What?" Lorelai asked jumping out of her seat.

"They arrested Jess. They said they found a shirt of his with blood and that he couldn't account for where he was when Taylor was murdered."

"Oh my god." Lorelai replied. "I'll be there in a few minutes." Lorelai hung up the phone. "Michelle, take over." Lorelai said quickly as she grabbed her keys.

Lorelai noticed the closed sign on the diner, but payed it no mind. She opened the door and quickly hurried up the stairs to Luke's apartment. She found him sitting there with a beer in his hand.

"Luke." She said softly.

"He's a good kid." Luke replied, clearly upset. "He's done some really stupid things, but he'd never kill anyone."

"You shouldn't be drinking." Lorelai responded, reaching over and taking the beer from Luke's hand.

"Lorelai, I've tried to straighten him out."

"I know you have. And you're doing a great job."

"No I'm not."

"Yes... You are. You're doing all you can."

"Well, that's not enough." Luke replied reaching over for his beer.

Lorelai kept the beer out of Luke's reach. "Ever since this whole thing started no one has bee acting their usual self. But placing the blame on someone isn't just going to end all of this. We have to go to the police station and convince them they have the wrong guy."

"I just want to know who did it." Luke said lightly. "Who out there is that desperate for attention?"

(Al's pancake world)

"I heard they arrested Jess this morning." Babette remarked.

"For the murder of Taylor?" Miss Patty asked.

"Yep."

"Oh my." Miss Patty frowned. "Do you think he really did it?"

Babette shrugged. "Beats the hell out of me."

"I heard that Luke's been acting very strange." Kirk added, butting his way into the conversation.

"Poor Luke." Miss Patty replied. "He's tried so hard to help Jess."

"I never liked Jess from day one." Kirk responded. "Always acting so tough."

"Aw, Kirky don't hate on the boy. We don't know for sure he did anything." Babette defended.

"Well, somebody needs to figure something out." Kirk said loudly. "A great man of our town has been killed, and someone has to pay for it."

"Sweetie, the police are doing the best they can." Miss Patty proclaimed.

"Well, that's just not good enough."

"Do you think you could do any better?" Babette asked.

"Yes... I do." Kirk said proudly. "I could do a lot better. And I'll tell you where I'd start. I'd start by searching Luke's apartment."

Babette and Miss Patty exchanged glances. "Have you talked with the police yet?" Miss Patty asked.

"No." Kirk replied. "Just like everyone else they think dumb old Kirk doesn't know anything."

"Do you know something?" Babette asked, leaning closer.

"Maybe." Kirk said leaning back. "But I'm saving my testimony for the police." He turned and left Al's.

"Poor fella." Babette replied. "He just gets stranger and stranger every day."
