iDidn't Kill Them Chapter 7

"What?" Carly asked afraid.

"It wasn't her!" said Sam.

"We have her fingerprints on the murder weapon, and she had a fight with the girl before she was killed." said another officer. "She is coming with us."

"What about bail?" Freddie asked.

"Her bail is set at ten thousand dollars." said the officer. "Until it is paid, she is staying with us."

The officer grabbed Carly and she looked back at the others.

"She will be at the local police station." said another officer. Carly looked at them and mouthed the word help as led her out of the room and to the police car on the street.

"What are we going to do?" Spencer asked. "I don't have ten thousand dollars."

"None of us have ten thousand dollars." said Freddie.

"Thats not true." said Sam. Freddie and Spencer just looked at her.

"I don't have it, but my mom does." Sam explained. "She buys these rare vases and paintings and they are all insured. Three of them got broke last week in an incident that was in no way my fault. So she does have over ten thousand dollars."

"I wonder why she feels the need to insure them." said Freddie. "Even so, how are you going to convince her to bail Carly out of jail?"

"Well, unlike your mother, mine happens to love Carly." said Sam. "It may not be as hard as you think."

"Alright, go talk to your mother." said Spencer. "We will wait to hear from you."

Sam left and Freddie and Spencer had nothing to do but wait and worry.

"It doesn't make sense." said Freddie out loud.

"What do you mean?" Spencer asked.

"How did Carly's fingerprints get on the murder weapon?" Freddie asked.

"You don't actually think. . . " Spencer started.

"No!" said Freddie cutting him off. "I mean, her prints were on the murder weapon, and we know she never touched it."

"Ok," said Spencer not following.

"This isn't a coincidence." said Freddie. "There are only two ways her prints could end up on the weapon. Either she touched it or someone put them there."

"What do you mean, by someone put them there?" Spencer asked.

"I think someone is setting her up!" said Freddie simply.
