Chapter 5
"Found out something that's quite interesting" Will said to Katie as he and Nick went into the interrogation room with John and Scotty watch on the other side of the glass.
"And that is?" Katie asked.
"We found out that you were jealous when you found your sister was knocked up at seventeen" he replied.
"Which would leave motive to kill the boyfriend" Nick added.
"Whoa, I didn't kill her boyfriend!" she exclaimed. "Of course I was beyond furious but that doesn't mean I wanted him out of the picture for good."
"How did you find out that Sara was pregnant?"
"I heard her throwing up in the bathroom a few days after she and I fought. I thought it was just the flu myself and I didn't want her sick for my party. I was taking out the bathroom trash when her pregnancy test fell out. I thought it was my mother's but then I realized she stopped having kids after she miscarried when I was seven. I put two and two together and well, that's how I found out" she replied.
"Did you ever confront her about it?"
"She told me later that day when our parents weren't home. I was pissed when I found out Blake knew only because he forced her to go to the doctors. When I saw Adam, I was beyond furious" she said.
Flashback
What is Love-Haddaway
Katie is home by herself one Wednesday afternoon before the rest of her family comes home. She could hear Sara making a snack in the kitchen. The doorbell rang and Katie got up to answer it.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Katie asked venomously.
"I came here to see my girlfriend who happened to be your sister" Adam replied, trying to keep the peace.
"You should consider yourself lucky to even be alive" she said. "You knocked up my sister!"
"You don't think I know that?" he snapped. "I'm going to be there for her and my child if you think I'm going to run off."
"Stay away from my sister and my family if you know what's good for you" she threatened.
"Katie!" Sara said in shock. "Who the hell do you think you are?"
Katie turned to look at her sister and then at Adam before storming off up to her room.

"So you threatened him to stay away?"
"Yep he didn't bother to listen to me considering he was invited to my sweet sixteen and I couldn't uninvited him with the seats being paid for already at the time" she said. "But you know, deep down with all the drama, I was happy for her."
"Got the fingerprints back from CSU, turned out that those prints belonged to Adam's" Nick confirmed.
"So he took a picture of himself being dead?" Lilly asked incredulously.
"Unless the camera fell out of his hands and the shutter button snapped the picture, those things do happen" he said.
"Whatever it was, someone was there when the picture was taken so whoever it was pushed him down the stairs" she said.
"Also I did a background check on who was the owner of the camera and you'll never guess whose camera it is" he said.
"Whose?"
"It belonged to S. Moore" he replied.
"Sara's camera?"
He nodded in confirmation.
Later on that night, Sara was working in the coffee shop as she saw the last few customers out. She looked at the calendar that was near the menu. Only a few more days until the wedding, she thought to herself. She also wanted to have hoped that Adam's murder would be solved but deep down, she knew it would be impossible.
She went into the backroom to find the mop and bucket of water when she heard the door open.
"We're closed" she called out. She heard nothing but footsteps. She rolled her eyes and groaned before she dropped everything to let whoever it was to leave.
"Didn't you hear me before, I said that we're closed" she said stopping short only to see Scotty there.
"I know that you're closed but this can't wait" he said.
"Can it wait until tomorrow detective, I have to close up and be home" Sara said with a bit of annoyance in her voice.
"We found that the camera with the picture developed in it was yours" he said.
"So that doesn't mean anything" she said.
"It could mean that you happened to take it when he was dead" Scotty said.
"I told you guys before I was in the hall when he was gone" she said. "If you think I killed him, you better have proof that I did."
"The camera belonged to you" he said.
"So? I didn't have it on me, wait why should I tell you about any of it?" she asked defensively.
"You were the one who wanted us to solve this."
"Yeah only to find out what happened, not pinpoint the murder on me" she said. She turned away, blinking back a few tears. "Have you ever lost someone you loved?"
Scotty remained silent at the question. He knew what it felt like. He continued to look at her as she stared out the window. "Not only I lost Adam, I lost my baby a few weeks later, I didn't know how to even get through those times. I felt that a part of me died in those few weeks" she said.
She turned to look at Scotty straight in the eye. "We started talking about our future that night…"
Flashback
Another night-McCoy
The decorations were around and people were either talking or dancing. Sara is sitting a table almost near the DJ booth by herself. She was wearing a dark green spaghetti strap dress with black heels to match.
"Here's some water" Adam said.
"Are you feeling alright?" she asked.
"Shouldn't I be asking you the same thing" he said.
"I'm fine, no more morning sickness today" she replied.
"Are you still worried about the baby?"
"Every day but I'm more worried about Katie spilling the beans. She said she wouldn't tell Mom and Dad but I don't know" she said.
"I'm waiting until after this weekend to tell my mother. Knowing her, she won't be too thrilled about it" he said.
"No kidding, we're only in high school still we're way to young" she said. "And no I'm not considering getting rid of it if that's what you're implying."
"I'm not and I knew since the moment you found out and how you feel about abortion" he said.
Sara looked over and had a confused look on her face. "What is it?" he asked. Adam turned around to see Mitch standing by the doorway looking at the couple.
"I'll be back" he said, getting up.
"Okay but hurry" she said as she watched Adam walk away to meet up with his friend.
End of flashback
"Mitch was there?" Scotty asked.
"Yep and I don't know why though. I never did find out" she replied. "But I do know one thing though. Adam loved me like no other person. He was going to be there for the baby. Maybe if he was alive, things would've been different."
A/n: I'm so sorry for this long delay. Finals and school and RL were kicking my ass. But now that's over, I've found time to write. I think the next two chapters will be the last. It depends on how the story plays out.
Don't forget to review. Thanks for the patience and support. You guys rock.
