Scotty entered in the office and walked towards his desk. This day, he was determined to speak with Lilly even if she didn't want to. He was bored of waiting even if he knew that she wouldn't be agree with this. As he was walking he searched Lilly with the eyes and found her at the place she used to be, her desk.
It seems that she hadn't heard him coming as she was surprised when he grabbed her arms and pulled her towards the break room. But she didn't try to released her arm from his and silently followed him. 'Did she finally make a decision?' Scotty thought as he walked into the break room.
Then he released her arm when they entered into the break room and he turned to look at her. "Look, Lilly. I know that you want more time, but I can't--" He started but he was soon stopped as Lilly kissed him. He was at first surprised but then he started kissing her too. As he touched her smooth lips he smiled in his inner and got lost in the intense kiss. It was like the kiss had lasted an eternity and he thought during a moment that he was dreaming but realised that it was the reality.
As they finally broke apart, he looked at her and catched her deep blue eyes which were fixing him. "I'm glad you made this decision." He said, grinning.
And she smiled back. "Aren't you scared that they can see us?" He asked while pointing the outside of the break room, with an amused smile.
"I..." She started, with a faltering voice. She looked around at the others whom were in the office and looked back at Scotty and saw his malicious smile. After thinking a little she finally made a decision. "I don't care." She said confidently and gave him a peck.
They continued to look at each other silently, not knowing what to say. Then Nick walked into the room. As she saw him entered, Lilly rapidly moved further from Scotty, passed her hand in her hair and bit her lips, doing as if nothing happened. "I'm sorry to disturb you, but we find the professor who was stalking Kathleen." He said to them, then he looked at them suspiciously feeling that something had just happened. He shrugged, deciding to forget it and left the room as he saw them nodding.
"I thought you didn't care?" Scotty teased her, with his amused smile. He was so happy but he didn't want to show it to everybody, what he wanted to show is that she had done the right choice, he will show her that she wasn't wrong taking this decision.
"Maybe a little bit..." She timidly answered, looking at him. Then she walked out of the break room, and Scotty hastily followed her. They went towards their desks where Stillman, Vera and Jeffries were waiting them. "His name is Oliver Stanson, he was her professor, but she changed of professor 3 months later, saying that she didn't understand and that she prefered the other one." Wil read aloud from a file.
"That must have been when they broke up." Scotty observed.
"And when he started stalking her." Lilly completed.
Stillman, Scotty and Lily were in the observatory room, looking at Oliver Stanson through the one-way window. He was sitting at the table and looking around. During a second he changed in the young professor he was when he was teaching at the college, and came back to the present Oliver. His brown hair had grown and were now very long, as if he hadn't cut them for years, his beard had grown too and he had big rings under the eyes.
"He was fired a week before she was killed." Will said to them, as he entered in the room.
"Did he have any alibi?" Stillman said.
"He said that he was with one of his friend who was his co-worker too, they were working, when she was killed." Will replied. "But he died 3 years ago."
"An alibi gave by a friend who is now dead? Not very reliable." Lilly observed. "Let's see what he's gonna tell us." She continued and left the room, followed by Scotty and they entered into the interrogation room.
"So, Mr.Stanson, you were Kathleen's professor in 1998, weren't you?" Scotty said while sitting at the table.
"Yeah, why am I here?" He asked suspiciously.
"You've got a good memory as it was five years ago..." Lilly observed, leaning against the wall, next to the mirror.
"She was an excellent student, how to forget her?" He replied defensively.
"We know that you were stalking her, Oliver." Scotty sighed. "Stop playing as if nothing happened."
"I stalked her? No, I don't know where you've heard this but that isn't true." He said, self-confident.
"We have witnesses Mr.Stanson." Lilly replied, unconvince by his self-confident.
"You followed her and discovered that she was dating someone else." Scotty said.
"And then you were fired from the college." Lilly completed, while approaching.
"That must had made you furious, huh?" Scotty continued.
"So you killed her." Lilly said putting a hand on the table and looking at Oliver with a triumphant voice.
"I didn't kill her!" He shouted, furious. "Yeah, of course I was angry that she was dating someone else, and it was worse when I knew that I was fired but I didn't kill her!"
"Yeah, you were with a friend who is now dead." Scotty sighed, feeling that he would never confess the murder. "You know what, everything is against you, you won't win the trial." He continued.
"I don't care about the trial." He said, looking away.
"At first you were stalking her, trying to win her heart and then you discover that she was dating someone and a week before she was killed, you were fired. Don't be silly, nobody will believe you." Lilly explained. "So, good luck for your trial!" She finished, starting walking towards the door. And Scotty followed her.
"But I didn't kill her, I swear!" He exclaimed, desperate before they closed the door behind them.
When they arrived at their desks, Lilly sighed as she sat at her desk. This wasn't gonna be easy.
After trying lots of time to make him speak, he was still swearing that it wasn't him and wasn't willing to tell them what really happen. "But if it wasn't him?" Scotty said, who was tired of trying to make him speak, to be in this room with this guy who was just swearing on each persons he knew.
"Maybe... but who is it then?" Lillly asked, as tired as Scotty about all this. She took the diary from her desk and started reading it.
"I don't know, anybody you want, but I don't want to return in this room with this guy that all he can do is swearing..." He sighed desperately.
She smiled at what he just said and started reading the diary. She turned the page, and then a thin white powder fell on her desk. "Scotty." She called him, her eyes fixing the powder.
As he heard his name, Scotty raised his head and looked towards Lilly. He looked at where she was looking, and saw the white powder. "What is it?" He asked.
"I don't know, it fell from the diary..." Lilly answered, raising her head and looked at Scotty.
"Drugs?" He said, surprised.
"Who know..." She murmured, then she took two sheet of paper. With one of them she pushed the powder on the other and looked at it. "Let's see." She finished, while standing up.
They walked out the office, Lilly was walking carefully, trying to not loose any of the powder and they entered into one of the numerous other offices of the headquarter, in it there was a sort of lab. They walked towards one of the scientist who was wearing a long white blouse. "Kate!" Lilly called the young scientist, who turned to look at her. "Hey Lilly, Scotty! What can I do for you?" She asked happily, with a big smile.
"We find this in a diary and we'd like to know what is it." Lilly said, smiling too, and she handed the paper on which was the white, thin powder. "Okay, I'll tell you tomorrow." She gently replied, putting the powder in a tube and put it down on the table.
"Tomorrow? You can't do it now?" Lilly asked, a little bit surprise.
"I'm sorry but I've got lots of other things to analyse. I don't even know if I could sleep tonight." She answered, amused.
"Okay..." Lilly said sadly. "Thanks!" She sighed and she left the room with Scotty.
"As it's getting late, what about leaving and having dinner?" Scotty asked Lilly, with a smile. He was tired and all he wanted was to spend some time with Lilly. And it will be their first date.
Lilly looked around at first to see if anybody was looking and that made Scotty laughed. "Don't worry, I'm sure nobody know..." He teased her.
"I... wasn't looking for that." Lilly lied, with a little smile. "And it sound good about the dinner!" She finished, her smile widening and her cheeks blushing a little bit.
Scotty smiled, she looked so cute like that, looking like a little girl. She wasn't good in love but he was gonna led her all the way.
