Introduction

Liz's POV

All I could do is stand there, staring down at the lifeless body at my feet. I hear my front door being busted in below me downstairs. It’s as if I was frozen, my feet refused to move while my brain screamed at me to run. I look down at my hands where I hold the knife…red. That’s all I see is red. Blood covering my white shirt and jeans but mostly my hands. The scuffling of feet gets closer to the bedroom door. How did things end up this way? Is all I can manage to think. My bedroom door gets kicked in and for the first time I manage to move.

I can hear the police screaming at me to drop my weapon. I have a weapon? I think to myself. I look at the knife then back at the police and then back down to the lifeless body bleeding out at my feet. All I hear next is the dropping of a knife and then police rushing over to me, yelling at me to drop to my knees. I feel the officers cold metal cuffs going around my wrist and that’s when everything hit me. What did I do?

“You have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law, you…” I manage to hear the office reading me my rights as he pulls me to feet and slowly walks me out of my room. He keeps asking if I understand my rights but I can’t manage to say anything. All I can do is focus on the trail of blood that led to my bedroom.

“I need to call my brother; he can fix this.” I mumble incoherently.

The officer places me into the backseat of his cruiser but doesn’t slam the door yet, he just stares at me. When did it start raining? “I need to call my brother.” I say again but the cop just stares at me.

The officer shakes his head at me before going to shut the door, “You’ll get your one phone call at the station ma’am. Can you tell me what happened here?” I hear him ask me but I let out a sob before shaking my head. What did happen? I don’t understand why any of this is happening to me. The cop runs his hand through his blonde hair. Blonde hair, I used to not have an issue with blonde hair, up until a few months ago.

'Is that the rain running down my face or tears?' I can’t tell but I know I’m inside the cruiser so it must be tears. “Please call my brother, he works for the Roswell Police.” I beg him as I cry. I see him staring at me before he asks my name and who my brother was. 'How did this all happen?' Is all that constantly runs through my head.

WOW........how did I miss this??
This really started off with a bang........or knife.......
I am on the edge of my seat to see what is happening.

Carolyn

Ch. 1

There’s an annoying knock at the door, one I can't ignore as I smother the pillow over my head. I roll over and grab the alarm clock off my nightstand. 307am. Who the hell could it be at this time of the morning? I toss my feet over the side of the bed and grab a sweatshirt off the floor, pulling it over my head as I walk out to the living room. ‘Oww! I have to unpack that damn box.’ I think to myself. I look through the peephole and before I can unchain the door he begins pounding harder on it.

“Hang on!” I yell as I unchain the door and manage to pull it open some. When did it start raining was my initial thought?... I focus my attention to the man in front of me, rubbing the sleep out of my eyes. “What are you doing here? Its 3 in the morning, couldn’t this have waited til this afternoon?” I ask him in a low whisper so as to not wake my neighbors.

I see him shake his head, my stomach dropped. Something was wrong, I can see it in his eyes. “Get dressed.” He demands of me pushing his way in. “You need to come downtown with me now.”

I shut the door and head towards the bedroom to grab a pair of jeans and shoes, “What is it? What happened?” I ask him calmly as I get dressed.

He turns on me, pointing a finger in my face. “This is all your fault, you know. She wouldn’t be in this position if it weren’t for your stupid mistakes. She deserves better! She trusted you, I trusted you with her! Now look what has happened!” He continues to scream. ‘She.’

My stomach is turning; I feel as if I’m about to be sick. “What happened? Is she okay? Just tell me.” I say rubbing my sweaty palms down my jeans before standing up and stuffing my nervous hands in my pockets.

He glares at me before he manages to whisper it to me, “It’s Liz. She was arrested tonight for Tess's murder.” I can feel his eyes on me as I’m shaking my head, “The lead detective called me. He stated there was a disturbance at your house and when they showed up they found Liz standing in the bedroom over Tess’s body with bloody hands, bloody clothes and a bloody knife.”

“No. You’re lying. Liz would never do anything like that.” I tell him confidently.

“I know she wouldn’t, but the evidence is there Max. According to reports, she has motive, she was seen arguing with Tess outside the Crashdown Café. She threatened harm towards Tess.” I hear him explain. ‘Not my Liz, she wouldn’t.’ “Do you hear me Max?!”

I jump at his tone, I look at him and study him carefully, “Where is she? Has she been booked yet?” He nods, “I’ll get her out on bail tonight and we’ll figure out what happened.” I tell him professionally.

“You can’t take the case Max. You’re a witness in all this. The only reason I’m telling you is because…” He stops mid sentence. “It’s bad. The evidence is completely against her but there's no way you can help her right now, if anything it will make it worse.”

“It was one time! One! She’s still my wife God damn it and I’m not just going to sit here and let her sit in a prison cell tonight.” I yell at him. “I fucked up but Liz would never hurt anyone, no matter the circumstances. She’s your sister for Christ sakes, you can’t actually believe she would do this?!”

He sighs, “It doesn’t matter what I believe, I only got a phone call because the detective was doing me a favor, giving me time to find her a lawyer.”

“She has one, Michael.” I tell him firmly. “My wife would never hurt anyone and you know that.”

“They are going to challenge you representing her due to conflicting interest, you're still married. They're going to want you to testify about the affair.” Michael tries to explain but I don’t care. All I know is that this IS some how my fault.

I grab my keys off the coffee table, I look over at Michael, “She can’t sit in prison Michael.” I tell him swallowing back the chunks that were wanting to come up, “She’s pregnant.” I can see him processing what I told him but it doesn’t matter. I have to get to Liz and find out what happened.
