Airport

Veronica hands her ticket to the lady at the counter and picks up her bags.

"Veronica Cruz." V turns around to see Lindsay, Danny, and Mac a few feet behind her.

"Lindsay?" giving Lindsay a questioning look.

"We have a warrant for you're arrest."

"What?"

"You murdered Kyle Staton," Lindsay walks up to her to put the handcuffs on her. "And you lied to me about it." They read Veronica her rights in the airport lobby.

Interrogation Room

"I didn't kill Kyle."

"But you do know him don't you?" Lindsay asks.

"So do you, Linds." Lindsay is taken aback by her comment.

"What makes you think I would know him too?"

"He's Kevin's brother." Lindsay's eyes go wide. "I didn't know at first but when he kept calling me and then calling to your apartment I put it together. He came to get his revenge on you for what you did to his brother. He wasn't expecting me to be there."

"He called to my apartment. Why didn't you tell me?"

"I was trying to protect you. Like I've always done. Like I've always tried to do."

"I that why you killed him...to protect me? How about telling me that he was here. Why did you have to take matters into your own hands."

"I didn't kill him, Lindsay."

"You fixed the tape to make it look like you were there the whole time. The crime scene was near the bookstore. All you needed was 15 minutes. Which is about how much time is missing."

"It doesn't mean I spliced the tape."

"You were the only one that had a grudge against Ky...the victim."

"I didn't have a grudge with him and you know that Lindsay. I barely talked to him...(sighs) Look I'll be honest with you I did splice the tape..." flashback: Veronica slips into the room and takes out the tape. She splices the tape and puts it back into the recorder. End of flashback.

"And murdered Kyle Staton."

"No! But I did go to look for him." Flashback: Veronica goes through an alley and sees him. She pulls out a gun. End of flashback.

"All the evidence says you did. You found him and killed him."

"Well the evidence is wrong. I didn't kill him. I had the gun in place but ...I couldn't do it. I didn't want someone else to be hurt because of me. It couldn't happen again."

"I don't believe you." Lindsay gets up to go. "You've lied to me before and I believed you then I don't think I can believe you now."

"I didn't do it Lindsay. Someone is doing this to me. Someone wants me out of the way and I'm afraid that they will go after you next."

"You weren't so concerned earlier when we talked about that at my apartment. You're just trying to spin these wild stories to get you out of this mess. We aren't little girls anymore, Veronica." Lindsay says with a sigh.

"Its not a story Lindsay. Its the truth. You could be in danger!"

"I don't have time for this, Veronica. Its over!"Lindsay turns her back to Veronica.

"Turn around! Look at me!" Lindsay turns around and looks at the two-way mirror where Mac and Danny wait.

"What, Veronica?" Lindsay turns to her.

"Whose going to tell my family I won't be going home? Whose going to tell my brother I won't be going on that adventure I promised we would go on together? Whose going to tell my sister that I won't be there to see her on her 15th birthday? Whose going to tell my son that mommy won't be there to watch him grow up? Answer me that, Lindsay!"

"I...I don't know."

"I've told you I didn't do it and you still don't believe me."

"I don't know what to believe anymore, Veronica." Lindsay says with a look of grief etched on her face.

"One believes what one wants. You want to believe that I did it. What I don't understand is why you believe that I would do something like this. Do you honestly think I would kill someone? I would think that after 24 years you would know me better than that."

"That's the problem, V. I thought I knew you. I..I guess I was wrong."

"Fool me once ...shame on me. Fool me twice ..."

"Shame on you." Lindsay answers as she walks out of the room.

"This isn't over, Lindsay!" Veronica yells as they take her away.

This all for now sorry it took so long I wanted to get the chapter right and I ended up adding a few things to the chapter to make it a little longer. The last chapter will be posted soon so be patient. At this time I like to thank all the people that have reviewed. It means so much to know that people actually like what I am writing. Well until the next update. Bye!
