A/N This is a short chapter. But I need reviews people! If I get 3 reviews for this chapter, I'll boot out the next two in the next few days.
Keith quickly obtained a warrant to search the Echolls mansion. When he reached the Echolls estate, he found out that Aaron was not home. Lynn, grateful to clear her husband's name, let him search the house, as long as nothing got broken. The deputies searched every room including the pool house. In the pool house, an officer found a pink silk thong beneath the bed. Lynn was confused when she saw them, claiming that they didn't belong to her. A deputy plastic-bagged it to send to a DNA lab. Another officer noticed a wire coming out of the fan. He followed the wire to behind a pair of bookcases. When he wedged his fingers between the bookcases, they opened like doors, revealing two small TV screens and VCRs. There were also two compartments in the wall, but they were empty. As Keith explained his day over dinner, Veronica began thinking about Lilly.
Flashback
Lilly and Veronica sat on Lilly's bed listening to the radio. Lilly sprung up and headed to her desk.
"Veronica, you have to check this out. That guy I met in Italy last summer?"
"Yeah?"
"He sent me some pictures." Lilly picked up a small electronic screwdriver and headed to her air-condition vents. She stepped on a chair and proceeded to open the vent.
"Doing some rewiring?" Veronica asked, a bit confused
"Celeste is a bit on the nosy side."
"Yuck." Veronica replied
"Tell me about it. I'm getting even, though. I left phone numbers on matchbooks for Tyrone and Leroy and Chico around the room. Give the woman a little drama in her life." Lilly told her.
"Wait...who's Tyrone and Leroy and Chico?" Veronica was now totally confused
"Beats me. But they seem to really upset Mom." She flopped down on the bed next to Veronica. She showed the pictures to Veronica. Veronica's expression was filled with shock.
"Lilly, those are naked photos." Veronica told her, stating the obvious
"They certainly are." was Lilly's reply
End Flashback
"Veronica, you there?" Keith asked, worriedly, noticing his daughter's spaced out expression.
"Her air-vents." Veronica whispered "Dad? Did you check Lilly's air-vents after her murder?"
Keith looked at his daughter as if she had 4 heads. "Her air-vents? Why would we check her air-vents? Check for dust-mites?" he laughed
"I just remembered that Lilly used to hide things in her air-vents. Maybe they'll give us a clue."
Keith nodded. "I'll get on it tomorrow." He put a piece of chicken in his mouth and the wheels in his head began to turn.
