Lacey stays in her car, still somewhat nervous, here goes nothing she thinks to herself. As she's about o go inside she hears Jo saying "She's not going to come".
"Hey" she goes inside the fort. "We were just talking about you" Jo says with her sarcastic voice.
Danny looks at Lacey, "Glad you can make it." and looks away.
"Lacey please get yourself comfortable" Jo says pointing her to sit down. Why does she feel so unwelcomed?
She licks her lips. "So now that we are all here together, we can talk" Danny continues "Should I start the fire?".
"It's actually kinda hot in here" Lacey genuinely says sitting down.
"It's actually kinda chilly in here" Jo says looking at Lacey fiercely.
"Cold because of the weather or your attitude?" Lacey remarks right back. Jo throws a mean glare to Lacey. "If you're so hot, take off your jacket" Jo replies.
"Seriously there's no need for this, we are suppose to be here to talk and work things out" Danny sounds like he's against the wall.
"Ha! Work things out, yep that's what we ARE doing" Jo mockingly says.
Lacey stands up " Whatever, this is such a waste of time, obviously I'm not gonna stay in a place that I'm not wanted" she starts walking out.
Jo rolls her eyes.
Danny in an instant holds Lacey back "C'mon don't leave" he tells her looking inside her eyes, but then she feels a burn in her arm, where he was holding her, he grabbed her so gently though. "Ouch!"
Danny immediately lets his hand go, " I'm sorry I didn't mean to-"
Jo smirks annoyingly "Gosh Lacey your sucha baby, you should definitely be an actress".
Danny looks at Jo "That's enough, Let's just talk… please" .
Lacey goes back and sits down. "Jo so, have you heard anything from your dad how come they didn't arrest Danny?"
Jo shakes her head "Nope, my dad hasn't said anything, he has stayed long nights at work, but hasn't mentioned anything regarding Danny, no details".
Jo looks at Danny. "The police didn't tell you anything why you didn't get arrested?".
"No, but they must have found something that doesn't incriminate me" he responds.
"I agree, to figure this out Danny, you can't keep any morel lies from us though, we have to figure out what actually happened to Regina" Jo tries to come up with a plan.
Lacey's head is spinning, she doesn't want to be involved in this anymore, but at the same time she dying to know the truth of all this.
"Lacey I know you said you needed a break from … this. You don't have to be involved if you don't want to" Danny says sincerely.
Jo frowns her eyebrows and looks at Lacey. Lacey takes a deep breath "The night they were going to arrest you, Phoebe came over my house and … she told me something that was a little sketchy".
Jo and Danny look at each other. "What did she say?" Jo asks curiously.
"We had thought Phoebe and Regina had gotten into some sort of fight… but Phoebe says her and Regina did argue but never got physical".
"Okay?" Danny squints his eyes somewhat confused.
"Wait, what does this have to do with anything? So Phoebe and Regina didn't get into a catfight... So?"
Jo asks completely confused.
"Phoebe saw Regina get into a fight with someone in a car ….. meaning the person that she got in fight with before …. Might be involved with her Murder".
Jo and Danny were shocked.
"Wait but I heard that Phoebe and Regina had gotten in some fight over some guy though" Jo asks.
Danny looks at Lacey.
"It was a verbal fight not a physical one, Regina had gotten in some argument with someone else in a car, that person scratched Regina, which made her even bleed".
"So that person might have been to one who killed Regina?" Danny says in a low voice trying to put things together.
"Who was in the car?" Jo asks quickly.
Lacey shakes her head "Phoebe didn't see but ….. the license plate was from Connecticut." Looks at Danny then at Jo.
Danny eyes popped "Connecticut". Jo was left with mouth wide open looking at Lacey.
They all knew Connecticut was related to Danny's dad. "This is crazy" Jo says shaking her head while looking at the floor.
All of this makes Lacey nervous and feels like she's sweating ,she finally takes off her jacket. Jo observes her, and Lacey feels the stare. "What?" she asks.
"What happened to your arm?" Jo asks. Danny looks at Lacey's arm.
Lacey looks at her arm "Oh gosh, I have bruise." "Was that me?" Danny asks.
"Oh um … " Lacey shakes her head. "You didn't grab her hard" Jo says unsure.
"No um, It wasn't because of that" Lacey says surely. Jo and Danny stare at her. Lacey stays thinking, until she finally realizes what it was.
"I hit myself with my car door this morning" she lies.
Jo frowns her eyes brows and looks worried because that looked more than a car door.
Jo looks at Danny, Danny looks at Jo and then down; both of them aware that it wasn't really the truth.
"So it's getting late, I have to get going. I have this chemistry test tomorrow in the morning, not looking forward to it, I have to go study though, I'll see you guys around okay?" Lacey says kind of smilingly getting a hold of her jacket.
"Sure, bye" Jo says genuinely.
"Good luck" Danny says.
Lacey makes her way out walking fast to her car and looking at her arm. She hadn't even noticed she had a bruised since she was so tensed about meeting with Jo and Danny. She had to lie to them; she couldn't tell them that Archie had pulled her hardly from the arm.
