Luke and Lorelai were finally starting to devise a plan on how to deal with the situation at hand. Suddenly there was a loud knock at the door.

"Police." a voice called through the door.

"It's open." Luke replied carelessly.

The door swung open and a few policemen stepped inside the apartment. "Sir, we're from the Hartford Police Department. We have a search warrant." the leading officer explained.

"Go ahead." Luke replied. "Search... You won't find anything."

The officers began searching through the apartment.

"Sir, this is going to take a while." The leading officer said.

"Okay." Luke answered. "I have to get back to the diner anyway."

Lorelai grabbed her purse and headed down stairs with Luke.

"Luke, maybe you shouldn't leave them alone up there."

"What are they going to do Lorelai, steal from me?"

"No..." Lorelai replied. "But they said they found Jess's shirt at Taylor's house."

"So."

"So, what if there's been more planted evidence in your apartment?" Lorelai concluded.

"That's impossible. No one has been in my apartment."

"That you know of." Lorelai remarked. "How did Jess's shirt get at Taylor's?"

Luke sighed. "What do I do? Go back up there and tell them that any evidence they find is fake? That it's all been plotted and planned? They're never going to believe that."

"We have to find out who really did this." Lorelai proclaimed.

"How?"

"I'm not sure. But we know this town and the people in it way better than the police. They think they've already found the killer... they're not even close."

"Lorelai, we can't just go looking for a murderer." Luke replied.

"Why not?" Lorelai asked. "Do you want Jess in jail for the rest of his life?"

"Of course not." Luke answered quickly.

"Then we have to prove he's innocent."

(The Prison)

"Boy, you better start complying or else you're going to really regret it." officer Kenneth yelled.

"I already told you, I didn't do anything." Jess replied.

Kenneth slammed his fists down on the table. "Now, you look here... your shirt was found at the crime scene with Taylor Doose's blood all over it. How did your shirt get there?"

"I don't know." Jess said smoothly. "I guess someone set me up."

"Someone set you up?" Kenneth chuckled. "Mr. Mariano, isn't it true you've been arrested before?"

"Yeah."

"And what was you arrested for?"

"Theft." Jess shot back.

"You've been in and out of trouble all your life. Mostly in." Kenneth observed. "Regular problem child." Kenneth stood up from his seat and walked over closer to Jess. "Do you understand there's a man dead in Stars Hollow? Do you understand that you've caused chaos and destruction?"

Jess didn't answer.

"Why did you do it?" Kenneth finally asked. "What finally pushed you to murder Taylor Doose?" Kenneth leaned in towards Jess until he was nose to nose with him.

"Get out of my face." Jess replied.

"Are you threatening me, boy?"

Jess continued his cold dead stare. "Get out of my face." he repeated.

Kenneth smiled and stepped back away from Jess. He raised his arm and scratched behind his head. Abruptly he brought it back down and smacked Jess across the face.

"You're life is going to hell from now on."

(Luke's apartment)

"Hey, Carl, you'd better take a look at this." one of the officers replied.

Carl walked over to Jess's side of the apartment. Slid neatly under Jess's mattress was a Bowie knife.

"Take that into the station." Carl ordered. "Find out if it matches the knife used to slice of the victim."

"Carl!" Another officer called. "Check this out."

Carl walked over to the other side of the room. Located in a shoe box hid in a closet, were Polaroid pictures of Taylor's decapitated body.

"This kid is sick." Carl replied flipping through the pictures.

"Looks like he's a fan of his own work." the officer commented.

"Well, gentleman there's no doubt about it... The Hollow Hunt is over. We've found our killer." Carl placed the pictures into an evidence bag. "Won't be hard to convince a jury with these."

(Outside of Luke's Diner)

"Please, just let me tell you what I know." Kirk insisted.

Detective Cook sighed. "Fine. What do you know?"

"I've heard Luke and Jess threaten Taylor many times." Kirk began. "Taylor even told me once that he was scared of Jess. Taylor said Jess was so drugged out that he was liable to do anything."

"Jess Mariano is on drugs?" Cook asked.

"That's what Taylor said. But I can believe it, he's always acting as if he is spaced out." You should do a drug search.

"We have a team searching the apartment now. If there's any drugs located there, they'll find them." Cook replied. "Is that all Kirk?" Cook asked planning her getaway from the annoying little man.

"Well... I saw Jess the morning of Taylor's murder." Kirk confessed.

"Where did you see him?" Cook asked, suddenly interested.

"In the alley behind the diner. I wouldn't have thought anything strange about it, but he was shirtless." Kirk added. "And he was carrying a small black bag."
