Chapter number 23. She's a murder!

Jack rushed to his office at the police station, he had to find that picture of Alex Murry. As he was flicking through some files in the filing cabinet a fax started to come through on the fax machine. Jack looked at the address at the top and when he saw it was from Harry he imediently picked it up and read it. (It was a copy of the file with statements from close friends of Alex). After flicking through it he had another quick look for the photo and when he found it he put it with the fax in his bag and hurried to Martha's apartment.

"Hey" Martha greeted him as she opened the door.

"Hey" Jack replied still catching his breath.

"Are you ok Jack you look stressed". Martha said sounding worried

"Look Martha there's something I need to tell you".

"Ok, come in" Martha said walking over to the couch were she sat down and patted a spot next to her for Jack to sit "What is it?"

"Ok" Jack took a deep breath in "You know how Amy's kidnapping case got labeled missing and assumed dead".

"Yeah" Martha replied "how could I forget" she added sarcastically.

"Well when I went back to the office this afternoon I reopened the case and-".

"You reopened the case?" Martha asked sounding overjoyed.

"Yeah and-".

Martha cut him off again "you really didn't have to go to all that trouble just for me you know".

"It's not trouble. Anyway I managed to track down a guy in England named Alex Murry a-".

"Um, Jack, his last names Ryan not Murry" Martha told him sounding slightly disappointed.

"Yeah I know, but a lot of criminal's change there last name so that people can't find them, that's why the police never found him last time they tried to track him down. Anyway I've got this friend who's a cop over there and he managed to track some more information down on him, but he can't lead out an investigation until you've identified a picture of him" Jack told her.

"Ok. Have you got it here?"

"Yeah, I'll just get it for you" he said reaching over into his bag. He pulled out the picture and showed her.

"That's Alex" she told him.

Over at the Hunter's house Scott was just arriving home from the surf club, he'd actually had a really good time talking to Hayley. Beth was sitting on the couch in silence.

"Hey Mum" Scott said as he walked through the door.

"Scott, can I have a word with you" Beth said not sounding to pleased.

"Yeah sure, what's wrong?"

"Did you know that Lisa used to be a murder?"

"What?" Scott asked sounding confused, that was one of the most random things he'd ever heard his Mum come up with to start a conversation.

"The police came by earlier and they told me that Lisa was responsible for the old shed that blew up s few days ago with about six or seven men inside, they also told me that she has a history of doing this sort of thing to many people" Beth told him.

"Well I guess were just lucky she's gone then" Scott said still shocked.

"Yeah I guess so. Are you ok?"

"Yeah actually I'm feeling really good" Scott said getting up from the couch and heading back to the door.

"Where are you going?" Beth questioned.

"To go see Hayley" Scott replied closing the door behind him. Not long after he arrived at Irene's house were Hayley had moved back into that morning.

"Hey Scott" Hayley smiled when she opened the door and saw Scott there.

"Hey I was wondering if you wanted to come for a walk with me".

"Yeah sure, I'd love to" Hayley replied jumping up and down inside.

When they had walked for a while they arrived at the beach and sat down on the sand. There was a long silence and then Scott grabbed Hayley in his arms and began to kiss her, and soon she started to kiss him back.
