"Haley and Jillian were involved in a romantic relationship?" Will Jeffries asked in astonishment. They were back to the precinct. Scotty was at his desk, playing with his pen. Lilly slammed the file folder closed after she finished reading reports about Haley Jameson.

"Surprised, huh?" Nick said with a sly smile.

"No wonder why Jason broke up with that gorgeous girl." Scotty said, twisting a pen in his hand.

"Jillian was secretive. She feared Jason will find out that she dated Haley behind his back while they were dating." Kat said.

"Jason and Jillian were dating for almost two years, right?" Nick considered. "How come he never knew what's going on between Jillian and Haley?"

"Probably he thought they would never do that." Lilly said uncertainly.

"Remember, every guy at school had a crush on Jillian because she was so pretty like she got an eye candy. Maybe Jason got distracted by looking at her." Scotty made a theory.

"Jason didn't know about her affair until that later?" Will said.

"Possibly he found out…" Lilly shrugged.

"And he got angry about that…" Kat added.

"Then he killed Haley." Scotty made a point.

"I was embarrassed. I was ashamed of myself for what I had done. I hurt Jason badly. He was in love with me and I was in love with Haley." Jillian's eyes already flooded. She looked up at Scotty and Lilly. They were in her living room on the next day. Jillian took a deep breath, clenching hands tightly between her knees.

Lilly cleared her throat, "How long did you guys going on?"

"Almost six months." Jillian murmured.

"Jason didn't know?" Lilly fixed her gaze at her.

"Yeah, he did. I meant he didn't know until that much later." Jillian muttered. She turned her head away to avoid eye contacts like as if she was ashamed of herself.

"How did he find out?" Scotty said softly.

"He simply walked on us." Jillian chuckled dryly.

"What happened?" Lilly said.

Jillian sighed deeply, trying not to cry, "Haley wanted to end our relationship because she didn't want to hurt his feeling but… I never listened to her. I didn't want to end our relationship between me and her. I wanted to end our relationship between me and Jason." Then she paused and closed her eyes, "It was all my fault. I wished I should had to listen to her…"

"Are you breaking up with me?" Jillian blinked. Her beautiful face looked sad and agitated. She looked a sweet angel in a white dress under her yellow cardigan sweater. She was standing in a kitchen.

"I'm sorry, I have to." Haley croaked. She glanced over her shoulder as if she thought someone was sneaking up on her.

"But you said everything will be okay. You promise to keep Jason from knowing about us." Jillian said with her teary eyes.

"Jill…"

"Haley, please." Jillian pleaded, wrapping her arms around Haley's waist. She laid her head against her chest. Haley was a head taller than her. She stroked her silky, blonde hair. Her hair was so soft and gentle. Haley's hand began shaking hard. She heaved her breath. Her heart was beating hard enough Jillian could hear it. Haley shut her eyes tightly. She was too weak. She didn't want to let her go. She wanted to be with her forever. She held her like her own.

But she had to do it for Jason.

She gently pushed her away but held her arms in a death grip, looking straight into her glassy blue eyes, "I do like you… I mean I do. A lot."

Jillian leaned her head closer to her, touching her forehead against hers. Haley can feel her breathing on her. It smelt like vanilla mixed with strawberries. She didn't move. She felt sick because she knew it would crush Jason if he found out about that.

"Jillian—" Haley began.

But Jillian pressed her finger against Haley's lips, "Shh, I love you."

Haley's heart stopped when she heard the words coming from Jill's mouth, 'I love you'. She stared at her in astonishment. She couldn't spoke. She didn't know how or what to say. Jill actually said 'I love you'. The words flowed into her ears over and over like playing a recording tape. I love you. Haley's knees almost went out.

Jillian stroked Haley's cheeks, pressed her lips against hers. Haley froze but kissed her back. She could taste a strawberry shortcake on her tongue. Her lips were so soft like a cotton candy. Jillian's tongue was so deeply warm that make Haley's brain melt.

Then she heard a footstep outside of the kitchen door. She quickly pulled apart but too late, Jason was already there at the doorway. His jaws almost dropped like he couldn't believe what he saw.

"Jason…" Haley said breathlessly. "I c-can explain—"

He turned his hatred eyes to Jillian, "Get out."

"Jason…" Jillian gasped.

"Get out." His voice was cold. "Now!"

Jillian flinched, got spooked at the deathly tone. She then quickly stumbled to the back door to flee out.

The storm door slammed with a loud screech.

"He never forgave me. He never spoke to me again. We broke up after that. We lost in touch after we graduated from high school." Jillian sighed sadly. "He might hate me since."

"You didn't know what happened between Jason and Haley that day?" Lilly said.

"I don't know." Jillian shrugged helplessly. "I ran out and didn't look back."

"When did it happen?" Detective Valens asked.

"Several days." She reported. "But it was a last time I saw her, that was the day before she died. We snuck out that late night at the lake."

Lilly and Scotty shared exchange glances and then back to Jillian, "Okay, and thank you so much. Call me if you need anything."

"Sure, I will." She said. They left Jillian's house.

"Tell me, why are you here? Again." Jason's voice was cold. He was not pleased to see Scotty Valens in his living room again.

"We just ask you a couple of questions, okay?" Scotty insisted. Jason didn't respond back, just picking up a glass of lemonade off a coffee table. He took a few sips. Scotty sat down on the coffee table, facing Jason.

"Jillian Peverett. Do you remember her?" Scotty asked.

Jason snorted, "Of course, but I didn't talk much about her."

"Do you remember the day you caught them fondling?"

Jason's face looked puzzled, "What the hell do you mean, exactly?"

"How did you react to your sister who caught kissing your ex-girlfriend?" Scotty almost nailed him.

Jason brought his drink down on the coffee table, "Are you serious?"

"What?" Scotty looked at him as if he told him 'come again'.

"You ask me many questions. What is it? You treat me like I'm a criminal." Jason said with a harsh voice.

Scotty clicked his pen as he stared at him. "I was just asking."

"Or interrogate me." Jason's eyes narrowed.

A paper rustled as Scotty closed the notepad, "Maybe…"

"I was… pretty disgusted and shocked at the same time, okay."

"So you didn't take out your rage on Haley?"

"I never—" Jason stopped when he realized he raised his voice, and then he brought his voice lower, "I never hurt Haley. I loved her."

"Oh, really? Can you tell me what happened?" Scotty leaned forward, ready to listen more.

Jason folded his arms over his chest as he eyed him carefully, "That's what happened…"

"What the hell are you doing?!" Jason slammed the kitchen door hard. He stepped up into Haley's face.

"Jason…" She stumbled back.

"Y-you kissed her!" Jason shouted.

"I'm sorry!"

"Sorry?! You are a girl! You were not supposed to kiss her!"

"She kissed me."

"What did you say?" His cold voice snapped at her.

"Jillian happened to kiss me."

"You are lying." Jason scoffed in disgust. "You kissed her first."

"I didn't!"

"She is my girlfriend, goddamn it!"

Haley shook her head. "I'm sorry. I am."

"Are you a dyke or what?"

Haley stopped abruptly for a moment.

"What do you think when parents find out about this!" Jason yelled.

"Are you going to tell them?" Haley looked crushed.

"You disgusted me!" Jason curled his lips in disgust at her. Then he shoved the door open wide and stormed out.

"I was pretty ashamed of that." Jason admitted.

"That's it?" Scotty asked.

"I told you… I never put… lay a hand on her." Jason spoke slowly as if he talks to an idiot.

Scotty held his hands up as if he told him to cool down, "I believe you."

"Right, should I believe you too?" Jason narrowed his eyes at him.

Scotty didn't say a word.

As the elevator door opened, Scotty massaged his forehead hard like he had an agonize headache, walking to the precinct. Some people walked past him. He saw Kat coming toward him. She got a frustrated and anxiety look on her face.

"Do you have any lead, yet?" Kat asked, walking along with him.

"It is too hard," Scotty let out an exhausted sigh.

"You still think it is Jason?" Kat said simply.

Scotty looked at her as if he was surprised that Kat could read his mind, "You think so?"

Kat shrugged. Nick approached to them, carrying a bunch of different files.

"Any suspect yet?" Nick asked Scotty.

"I don't know." Scotty replied.

"I went to check on people in Haley's life. Both parents insisted they both were in bed. So was her younger sister. Jillian had a romantic affair with Haley behind Jason's back. Jillian wanted to be with her more than anything in the world. So it can't be Jillian. Bryce Wells said it was his last time to see her at Go Burger's."

"Bryce Wells." Scotty echoed. He looked like as if he suddenly remembered that name after he forgot for a second.

"It can't be Bryce. He was too small. He was like eighty pounds. Haley weighted over hundred pounds." Kat said. "Plus, he was like two inches shorter than her."

"So Bryce is out." Nick said. "By the way, people claimed that Jason sometimes had an anger temper, they remembered he punched one guy for fouling mouth off at Jason during a football game. Also, he almost killed another guy once for hitting on his girlfriend."

"Look like we have Jason left now." Kat turned to Scotty.

"Now I see why polices kept nailing on Jason." Scotty muttered as if he felt sorry for him.

"They kept suspecting him but didn't make an arrest. They just gave him a hard time all the time." Nick added. "They held him in the interrogation room for nine hours straight without food and water."

"Nine hours!" Kat's jaws almost dropped.

"He was just a kid." Scotty said.

Nick spread his hands, "Lot of differences between 1960s and 2012."

"That's crazy!" Kat exclaimed.

"Tell me about it," Nick muttered as he walked past her.

Scotty pondered hard.

"What are you thinking about?" Kat noticed a grim look on Scotty's face.

He snapped out of it and shook his head to clear his mind, "Nothing, really."

"Hey, excuse me."

Scotty and Kat both whirled around to see a woman. She held a purse under her arm. She didn't even look old. She seemed like in mid-forties or early fifties. She had a short dark hair down to her shoulders. Her entire face was filled with seriousness.

Lilly appeared out of nowhere and came to her, "Hello, may I help you?"

"I'm Lucy Scott." She reached her hand out. Then the image exposed a young Lucy with braid pigtails, looking up at Lilly with her innocent, scared blue eyes. Then she changed back to an adult. Lilly took her hand.

"Oh yeah, that's right. You must be related to Haley Jameson, is that correct?" Lilly asked.

"Yes, I heard that you reopen my sister's case."

"Yep, that's correct. I'm Detective Lilly Rush, this way." Lilly guided her to her desk, Scotty and Kat forwarded in.

"Do you have something you like to share?" Lilly offered her a chair.

Lucy took a chair and sat down, "Did you find her killer yet?"

Lilly hesitated, darted her eyes up to Scotty who shrugged and then to Kat who muted. Her eyes returned to Lucy. "Honestly, I don't think we will get closer to catch her killer."

"Funny, I always thought that someone I knew would hurt Haley, but I'm not sure if it was him. I know him better. He didn't do anything to hurt her. He loves her. I know."

"Who? Jason?" Scotty chimed in.

Lucy whirled her head to look at him like Scotty was nuts, "He didn't mean to do it."

"What do you mean?" Lilly was dazed at her vague response.

"I remembered that night before she died. When I was young, I got up from the bed because my throat was dry. So I was going downstairs to get a glass of water but I stopped when I saw Jason and Haley. They were fighting. It looked pretty ugly already."

"What happened?" Lilly requested.

Lucy closed her eyes, "I wished I shouldn't see it…"

An eight year old Lucy woke up in middle of the night due to her dehydration. She started to cough. She rubbed her throat, she had a bad sore. She suddenly felt hot. She thought she may get a fever. She checked the time on her clock. It was past midnight. Everybody already were in bed, she didn't want to wake up her mother to go get water for her. So Lucy decided she wanted to sneak downstairs without waking anybody. She pulled a cover off her and staggered to a door. Her vision was almost blurry. She rubbed her eyes as she approached to the top of the stairs. She heard voices coming from downstairs.

She blinked for a several time. She saw Jason and Haley at the bottom of the stairs, didn't notice Lucy was up. They made a hard eye contact with each other.

Lucy could sense the tension between her older siblings. She quickly stepped back behind a wall. She only heard their voices.

"Tell me the truth."

"What?"

"Did you do it?"

"What?"

"Tell me, did you?"

"What?"

"Don't play dumb with me! You and Jillian. Did you do it?"

"I don't know what you are talking about?"

"In bed. You and her?"

"No…"

Lucy peeked out behind a wall. She saw Haley's face was flushed red and Jason's jaws clenched hard, showed a muscle moving in his jaws. He didn't seem relieved. He kept his hardened eyes on her. "How long did you guys going on?"

"More than five months." Haley shook her head regretfully. "I'm sorry, Jason. I broke up with her for you."

"Please… Go." Jason growled. "Leave me alone."

"Jason…" Haley grabbed his arm.

"Stay the hell away from me!" Jason screamed. He brought his fist down, punching her in the stomach hard. Haley let out a painful gasp, doubled over, and dropped down to the floor.

Jason watched her lying on the floor. He breathed heavily and then he turned around to head upstairs.

Lucy saw him coming upstairs. She quickly slipped off to her room as soon as she heard his footsteps growing closer.

"Jason hit Haley?" Scotty stared at her with an appalled look.

"That's all what I saw." Lucy sighed.

"That explains there was a fresh bruise on her body on the same night she was killed." Kat looked at Scotty with a disappointed look.

"I guess Jason lied to us." Scotty scowled.

Lilly said, "Maybe, when everybody slept and he came back downstairs to—"

"Finish his job." Scotty ended the sentence.
