      Several hours later, Sam and Luis had been investigating the accident for a while.
      "Whoever did this didn't leave a single fingerprint behind," Luis said.

      "Maybe it's Alastair." Sam said.

      "Why would Alastair want to kill a Crane? Come on, he wouldn't even let my sister be executed. I swear, when I find out who set my sister up," Luis said.

      "Luis, remember, Alastair didn't even come to Sheridan's funeral when she was buried alive. He tried to break you and Sheridan up, and it's possible he could have been behind the boat explosion. If Alastair didn't do this himself, he probably hired someone else to do it." Sam said.

      "I'm still wondering why Alastair would be trying to kill Rebecca. He hasn't even tried to kill Ivy yet." Luis said.

      "Well, maybe he thinks Rebecca will blab too many Crane family secrets or something," Sam said. "He'll probably keep trying again and again."

      "What's taking them so long?" Rebecca complained.

      "I don't know, but I can't wait to get out of here." TC said.

      "Hey, you're not the one someone is trying to kill!" Rebecca said.

      "I'd rather be locked in the temporary jail cell in the station then have to sit here with you for another minute." TC said.

      "Fine. You do that, I'll throw away the key. On second thought, I'll keep it so I can wave it in your face and mock you with it." Rebecca said. TC started searching the room. "What the hell are you doing?"

      "I'm looking for handcuffs and some tape to keep you quiet." TC said.

      "You are the most annoying person I have ever met!" Rebecca said.

      "Takes one to know one." TC said.

      "You annoying-" Rebecca yelled.

      "What's the matter, Becky, unable to think of a comeback!?" TC said. Rebecca started searching the room.

      "Where are those handcuffs?" Rebecca said in frustration. "Wait, just because you'd be handcuffed I'd still be able to hear you talk." Rebecca got an idea. "Now where's the tape?" Rebecca asked.

      "Tape your own mouth shut." TC said.

      Sam and Luis were busy deciding on a plan when they heard yelling coming from the other room.

      "That doesn't sound good." Sam said.

      "We'd better go check that out before somebody really does end up dead." Luis said. Sam and Luis walked into the room.

      "You jerk!" Rebecca yelled, chasing TC around the room.

      "Could you possibly be any more annoying?" TC asked.

      "We already had this discussion!" Rebecca said.

      "Alright, you two, break it up!" Luis said, getting frustrated."

      "Or we'll be forced to put you both in the temporary cell since this is a police station," Sam threatened, hoping that would work.

      "No!" Both of them yelled. "You can't put me in a jail cell with him!" Rebecca yelled.

      "You can't put me in a jail cell with her!" TC said.

      "Doesn't look like the plan will go over so well," Luis said.

      "Plan?" TC asked.

      "Yeah. We decided to hire a bodygaurd and put both of you in the witness protection program." Sam said.

      "Both of us?" TC asked. "I'm not the one anyone is trying to kill.

      "TC, you were involved in the crash. If Alastair was involved and the crash gave him the idea to try to get rid of you after being around that tennis trophy last night, he could go after you next." Luis said. "I've already contacted Agent Freeman, and he's already agreed to be your bodygaurd, an apartment is already being set up. You will be going there after you leave here." Luis said.

      "Stay in an apartment together!?" TC and Rebecca exclaimed, looking at each other in dread.

      "I resent that!" Rebecca said.

      "I can't stay in an apartment with her and Agent Freeman, what about my girls?" TC asked.

      "TC, Whitney and Simone will be taken care of." Luis said. "We'll make sure of it."

      "You're crazy, no one is trying to kill me." TC said, trying to weasel his way out of it.

      "TC, you were involved in the crash. Alastair might see you as a problem." Luis said. "He wants my fiance'- his own daughter dead."

      "Alright," TC said reluctantly. TC and Rebecca glared at each other.

      "I'll give them about a day before they end up filing a restraining order," Sam whispered to Luis.
 

      "I can't believe you would do something like this to me!" Simone yelled.

      "I never wanted to hurt you, besides it's not like either one of us can have Chad now anyways!" Whitney yelled.

      "Girls!" Eve yelled, trying to break up the fight. "Break it up!"

      "This is all your fault, Mom!" Simone yelled.

      "Simone!" Julian said, trying to calm Simone down. "It's not like your mom gave Chad up for adoption. Someone took him away from us."

      "What do you care? You didn't even try to get him back." Whitney said.

      "We already told you, I didn't know that she was pregnant, it was after father had forced me to marry Ivy." Julian said.

      "You could have stood up to your father!" Simone said.

      "Back then, I didn't know how to stand up to him, but now I would." Julian said.

      "Well, it's a little late for then." Whitney said, leaving the room. Everyone followed Whitney out of the room to try to calm her down. Theresa approached Julian.

      "I'm going to make you pay for doing this to my best friend." Theresa said. Julian looked at the floor helplessly.

      "Go away." Julian said.

      "Oh yeah, that'll work." Theresa said. "You destroyed my best friend's family, I'll make you wish that you had never met me."

      "I've been wishing that since we were married." Julian said.

      "Ok, I'll make you wish you had never been born." Theresa said.

      "Are you threatening me?" Julian asked.

      "It's not a threat." Theresa said. "I'll make you suffer."

      "Help," Julian thought.
