Part 2: Chapter 7

Lily and Beth sat in a holding cell on a bench.

"I can't believe you got us arrested!" Lily shouted.

"I'm sorry," Beth said.

"You're lucky that you're pregnant!" Lily shouted. "Oh god! What if we're sentenced to years in prison? I don't want my baby born in prison!"

"Your baby is not going to be born in prison," Beth said.

Meanwhile in the lobby of the police station, Chuck was arguing with the officer at the front desk.

"I'm sorry Mr. Scolnik, but you cannot bail your wife out at this time," the officer said.

"I have the bail money!" Chuck shouted. "Now release her at once!"

"Miss Lessing has requested that your wife not be held on bail," the officer said.

"You can't do that!" Chuck shouted.

"Yes we can if the victim doesn't feel safe," the officer said.

"What exactly did my wife do?" Chuck asked.

"She stole Miss Lissing's jewelry box," the officer said.

"That's it?" Chuck asked. "A stupid jewelry box?"

"It's still theft," the officer said.

Aaron arrived at the station.

"Chuck?" Aaron asked.

"Hey," Chuck said.

"Lily's been arrested," Chuck said.

"Yes," the officer said. "It says here that Ms. Lily Scott has been arrested as an accomplice."

"I'm here to bail her out," Aaron said. "And she didn't change her last name when we got married?"

"I'm sorry sir," the officer said. "Lily and Beth are not being held on bail on the request of Miss Rosemary Lissing."

"Excuse me?" Aaron asked.

"Yeah," Chuck said.

Rosemary walked into the police station.

"There she is!" Chuck shouted.

Chuck walked over to Rosemary.

"Seriously?" Chuck asked. "A box! A damn box!"

"Chuck," Rosemary said. "It's not just any box. That box belonged to my great grandmother."

"I know Beth can be obsessive, but please tell them to release her and Lily," Chuck said.

"Beth has to know what she did was wrong," Rosemary said.

"Are you out to get her?" Chuck asked. "I'm starting to think she was right about you!"

"Chuck," Rosemary said. "This has nothing to do with you. Beth stole from me and I want her to know it was wrong."

Rosemary walked over to the desk.

"I'd like to speak to Beth Scolnik," Rosemary said.

Rosemary was taken the visiting room and sat at one of the windows. Beth was brought in and sat on the other side of the window. Beth and Rosemary each took a phone piece.

"Hello Beth," Rosemary said.

"You bitch!" Beth shouted. "You set me up!"

"I did," Rosemary said. "I sure did. I'm prepared to have you and Lily both released and dropping the charges."

"Really?" Beth asked.

"All you have to do is admit to me that you stole my box," Rosemary said. "Right now. Just say you did it and I will drop the charges."

"Fine," Beth said. "I stole your stupid box."

"Great," Rosemary said. "I will go inform the officer at the front desk that I am dropping the charges. Oh and Beth."

"Yes?" Beth asked.

"You can be bitchy to me all you want," Rosemary said. "Just know that I can be just as bitchy. I am your worst nightmare come true."
