Chapter 2: Buried A Lie

A/N- I don't know which college Tailor is going to.

Ryan drank the rest of his coffee and placed the cup in the sink. Then he walked outside and headed to the pool house. Summer noticed Ryan didn't want to talk at all. "Who's coming?" Julie asked. "All of the senior class that is in town along with Dr. Kim. I've asked Dr. Kim to tell the rest of the school but since its vacation now she can't." "Ok. I'm goanna go home and rest." Everyone said their goodbyes to Julie, Neil and Caitlyn that would last the night. All the other people sitting at the table walked off as well.

"Sandy?" "Yeah Summer?" "Since you know a few people can you make to see if you can tell Luke and Lindsay?" "I can try but finding them might be hard. Besides Marissa never want to see Luke again. What makes you think she wants him at her funeral?" "I don't but for old time friend sake, please?" "Ok. You can't tell Ryan that there coming." Deal." Sandy and Summer shuck hands and the deal was made.

Seth was in the pool house with Ryan talking to him. "It's going to be a different four years for you at Berkley." Ryan turned and gave him the Kid Chino look. "Sorry. Anyway the after funeral party is going to be at the Bait Shop and you have to pick what the DJ plays." "I'm not good at this Seth. Why don't you do it?" "She was your girlfriend. It won't be hard. It will only be like 12 or 14 songs you have to choose." "Fine I'll make a list and we'll get there early tomorrow before the funeral."

Ryan looked the door after Seth left and started listen to his entire collection music look for the right songs. The first song was the easiest to pick but the last was not. It took him about an hour to finish choosing the songs. To top it off he named it Tribute To Marissa Cooper Mix.

After writing the list he started to cry. This was the hardest thing that he ever had to do in his life. But he reviewed the list and noticed he put Buried A Lie by Senses Fail. That song was about a boyfriend digging up his dead girlfriend body cause he was framed for her murder. So the boyfriend has to find the killer to do justice for his girlfriend. That song reminded him that he told no one that Volchok was the reason Marissa died. This was all in memory of Marissa. It had to be special.

Later that day sandy had finished talking on the phone when Kirsten entered hi office in the house. "Who was that?" Kirsten asked. "Lindsay. Summer asked me to call her and Luke and tell them. Both of them are going to be at the funeral. Ryan doesn't know." "Well Ryan might get mad because Luke will be there." "No he won't. They are all friends. Besides don't you want to see your sister?" "I guess. Thank you for doing a favor for Summer." As Kirsten was leaving the room she saw a folder that was labeled something related to the Newport Group. "Sandy what is this?" "Nothing, just a few old papers that I found. I was needing to toss them out. It is not important." "You know how I feel about unknown documents. You know just like my dad." "Kirsten you have nothing to worry about." "Ok but toss them out now." She kissed Sandy and walked back down stairs.

The door closed and Sandy opened up the file. In it was not what he needed to get rid off. It was secret papers related to the hospital. Sandy had one two things he could do, destroy this file or turn it in. This made him a little uneasy. As he looked at the papers he didn't feel right. But at the bottom of the current page shocked the most in his life. Dr. Griffin wasn't going to use any money for the hospital at all. The document did say what the money was going to be used for but Sandy wasn't going to find out with tearing the Newport Group down at the same time. After all Sandy believed someone must have known all along. "The Newport Group will no long be around in a few months."

Upstairs in Seth's room Summer was sitting next to Seth. "You know this is all hard to understand. First Johnny, now Marissa. It seems that everyone is dieing. I hope Ryan doesn't have to kill anyone because of it." Seth said. Summer soon realized what might have really happen, "Do you think Volchok did this?" "What?" Seth asked in a puzzled voice. "You know, Volchok? After all they did hook up. What ever happened that night was because Ryan tried saving Marissa…" But as Summer kept talking tears were falling down her face. Seth gently laid her head on his shoulder, "It's ok. Everything will be fine." Still crying Summer managed to talk, "No it will not be fine. Our friend just died and you don't care." "Yes I do." "But Marissa is dead Cohen! Dead. Coop, my best friend will no longer live to see the day ever again." Hugging her Seth consoled Summer one last time and she fell asleep.

He got up and let her lay on his bed as he watched tears run down her cheek. Seth opened his down and Kirsten walk by, "How is Ryan?" Seth asked. "He's taking it pretty hard still. What about Summer?" "She's asleep. She is also taking it hard as well." "What about you?" Kirsten asked. All Seth did was look at her in the eyes. He didn't know what to say, "I'll be fine. At lest for now." Well he hoped he would be fine. If not he could listen to some sad music on his iPod. Seth wanted something else to say but noticed his mom had her purse in hand. "Where you going?" "Oh, to the restaurant to order the food for tomorrow just like at Ryan's birthday party." "Ok."

Going down the stairs Kirsten went into the kitchen and opened the fridge and took out a small bottle of vodka and placed it in her purse. Just when she went walking for the door Ryan came into the kitchen. Apparently he saw her slip a bottle in her purse. "What was that?" Ryan asked. Kirsten turned around, "Water, why?" In surprise Ryan didn't know what to say, "Nothing, where you going?" "To order some food." Ryan gave her a head nod and Kirsten was out the door with the vodka in her purse. She got in the Rang Rover and placed the bottle in the passenger seat next to her and drove off.

Meanwhile at John Wane Airport Tailor drops off her mom to see her leave for Europe. "We'll this is it. Hope you have fun." "What about you and your friend?" "I'll be fine mom." "Ok. Before I leave I like to apologize for the lock in your set up. What I said about the low rider and not having friends was stupid of me. After all you are friends with Summer and that boyfriend of hers." "He has a name mom." "Yeah but I keep forgetting it. Anyway goodbye." They both hugged and Tailor brought out the bag and let her mom off on a trip around Europe for a whole month. Just before her mom stepped into the building she stopped to yell back at her, "Have fun on your way to New York." Tailor had applied at a fashion college in New York and planned on taking a trip to New York by car and wanted a chance to visit the country along the way.

Tailor waved one last goodbye and stepped into her mom's low rider and saw Volchok waiting one of the terminals. Quickly Tailor grabbed her cell phone and called Summer. On the other end Summer picked up after waking up from the ring tone, "Hello? Is that you Tailor?" She had caller ID. "Hi. I'm at the airport. I just dropped off my mom and for some reason the guy who stole my money is here. It looks like he's doing a trade or…" "What?" "He just went in. I'm going to follow him." Tailor got out and went straight inside the terminal, "I see him. The other guy just left for one of the gates. What was his name?" "Volchok." "He's leaving. Tell Ryan. Bye."

As soon as Tailor hung up Summer went to the pool house right away. She knocked. "Hi." Ryan answered opening the door. "We got a problem." "What is it?" "Tailor just dropped her mom off at the airport and saw him making a deal. She doesn't know what is was but she saw him leave. The other guy just got on a plan." "I'm going to tell Sandy." "No. I mean not yet. We don't know what he was doing. It could have been friend or family." "We'll I'm going to find Volchok and talk to him about it. Anyway he'll have lots to say." Quickly Ryan grabbed his jacket and went looking for the keys to the Range Rover. Unable to find them he remembered Kirsten had the car. "You want to drive with me?" "Sure." "We're using your car then."

Before ether of them could step out the door Seth came walking down the stairs, "Where is everyone going? Is there some party that I wasn't invited to?" "I think Volchok meant to kill Marissa and me." Yeah, but your still alive." "Marissa's not." "Where are we going?" "Best bet would be the beach. After all he does surf." Summer stopped as the walked to her car, "Wait one minute. What is this all about?" "I beat him up; he stole a car and wants to get out of the state. If I rat on him he'll claim I helped him. All he wanted from me was money to get out and nothing would be said. I gave him the money and look where is got us."

At Volchok's place Volchok was on the phone. "So did my guy get the money?" "Yeah." "Then Marissa and Ryan must be dead." "I'm right." "Good. No one is in your way now. If you want out of California with your girlfriend then just say the word. I'll get you out and you won't be found." "When does the plan leave?" "Two days. You'll be going to Portland to stay with me if you like. Or I could find you a condo to live in." "I'm there." "Great." and the unknown man hung up.

Buried A Lie- Senses Fail

Rest in peace girl, your death is such a shame
The paper said a bullet got in your way
But I smell foul play, possible poisoning
I had to bring you in for questioning
I went to your grave, dug up your body
Brought it to my house, where you lay

So let's play doctor babe
We'll operate today
Incisions must be made
You could help solve this case
For me...

I headed downtown, to share what I had found
It's not a suicide, it's a crime
I have a witness, it's clearly evident
There had to be someone else present
At the time of death, poisons in stomach
How could she pull it, if she's dead?

So let's play doctor babe
We'll operate today
Incisions must be made
You could help solve this case
We need a scalpel now
Under white lights you lay
We've got to hurry up
Before the flesh decays
Away...away

I'll catch the murderer
And send him away
I'll get the evidence
From your last day

Your last day...

Your last day…

Your last day…

So let's play doctor babe
We'll operate today
Incisions must be made
You could help solve this case
We need a scalpel now
Under white lights you lay
We've got to hurry up
Before the flesh decays

Away...away…
