if you live to be 100 years old i want to live to be 100 minus one so i won't ever have to live a day without you

well nothing much to report. i have a doctor's appointment tomorrow at 1:30 in the afternoon so it looks like i get to leave school early. but i like my two afternoon classes so that is sad. and i have a field trip on tuesday. we're going to the east side missionary. it's like a soup kitchen type thing so we're going to be helping people. i'm not excited about this field trip because frankly i don't like the people in my thrid hour (the class that's going) but i do want to help people and the assignment is worth like a gazillion points. anyway i finally got my ass in gear and wrote the next chapter of murder and lyrics. it's good so i hope you guys like it! previously: josiah was arrested at the airport for the murder of danny after a reciept for posion was found in one of his bags. josiah and cassie were both taken in for interrogation. murder and lyrics: chapter nineteen: tying up loose ends part one timothy had taken josiah down to the cop car they had driven to the airport, danielle had called back up and stayed upstairs with cassie. cassie was silent as she continued to stare out the window at the airplanes. silent tears trickled down her face. danielle knew why she was upset, ever since danny's death josiah had been a constant comfort to cassie, danielle had seen it at the funeral and the reading and even after that. of course it would be hard to learn that the support system you had killed your best friend. five minutes passed and cassie still remained silent and by now the back up police had arrived. it was the small squad who would take josiah's things, and cassie back into custody to be sorted and questioned. cassie went with them her face still a blank canvas of sadness and as danielle watched her walk away she thought that the girl might soon develop some kind of emotional disorder. danielle left the airport a bit jumbled herself. it had to be true that josiah had ordered the poison, there was no other way. then that meant that josiah was the killer and that the case was solved and they were done, but it didn't feel quite right, not like it usually did to solve a case. danielle chalked it up to her actually liking josiah and thinking he was a nice person. two hours later and danielle stood outside the interrigation room where josiah had been placed. timothy stood along side her just as they had back when they first interrogated cassie. "did you get anything out of him?" she asked as she turned to look into the room. josiah sat slumped in the chair his thick black bangs falling into his face which was contorted into sadness. danielle felt so much pity for him that she wanted to go inside and free him immedintly. "no, he keeps saying it wasn't him. that he hasn't used the credit card it was ordered with in months." timothy said as he rubbed a hand over his face. timothy himself looked tired as well with frustration mixed in. "did anyone check the card's history?" she asked and timothy nodded. "we're doing that right now." he told her as he looked back over his shoulder as if he expected someone to coming running to them with the results. "well, what about an alibi? does he have one?" she asked and timothy nodded. "yeah, he says he left the show early to go and host a party at a nearby club." timothy said. "any witness that can place him there?" she asked and timothy shook his head. "we're checking on it right now but cassie did say that she didn't see josiah after the concert let out." timothy began, danielle nodded as she made mental notes of what timothy was saying. "but" he continued "that doesn't mean that josiah didn't slip the poison into the water before leaving for the party." he said. danielle nodded again and turned back to look at josiah, it seemed for the moment that josiah's fate hung in the air. ******************************************************************* lexi hartford was lying in bed in her overly expensive and ritzy hotel room. despite her being in bed she wasn't asleep nor was she resting. no on the contrary she was on the edge all the time. constantly afraid that the police would drag her back in for more questioning. a loud knock was heard on her door and lexi froze in bed. could it be that they had returned again? lexi thought of the overly tall man and the dark haired woman in glasses and she shuddered at the thought that it was them waiting for her on the other side of the door. she got up slowly and made her way out into the living room of the hotel. her feet leaving marks in the plush white carpet of the room. lexi moved as if the door were see through and the person waiting could see her. she approached the door and looked through the eye hole. "who is it?" she asked as she looked into it. she saw a figure standing out in the hall a large silver cart infront of them. "room service." the person, a man said. lexi was confused had she ordered room service and forgotten about it? it seemed possible, it wouldn't have been the first time it had happened. lexi decided to open the door and the man pushed the cart inside. "hello lexi." the man said as he turned his blonde hair swaying with him. "jake?" lexi asked surprised to see the man she knew so well. jake nodded "why? why are you dressed as a bellhop?" she asked as she gave him a once over. "it was the only way they'd let me up here to see you lexi." jake said as he pushed the cart aside and strode over to lexi. he placed his hands on her shoulders. "i've missed you lexi." he said as he smiled at her. lexi pushed him away from her. "get the fuck away from me jake!" she began. jake looked mildly surprised at lexi's outburst. "what's wrong lexi?" he asked as he pretended to look wounded. lexi scoffed. "what's wrong? you told the cops i was crazy! you made them think that i killed daniel!" she screamed at him, jake let her yell at him and when she was finished he finally spoke. "now lexi i had to say that stuff or it would've made us both seem more suspicious." he suggested to her but lexi rolled her eyes. "you sold me out jake." she began "you remember what we promis-" her sentence was interrupted by another knock on the jake and lexi looked at one another curiously before looking to the door. *************************************************************** ten minutes had passed since timothy and danielle's coversation about josiah. timothy had since went back into the room and danielle continued to stay outside and watch. she was growing bored and was about to take off when her cell phone rang loud and echous in the hallway. "hello?" she asked unsure of who it might be. "danielle, it's jessica. listen there's been an accident." jessica told her. danielle burst into the room a mere minute later. "timothy! we have to go to the hospital!" danielle said with a sense of urgency. "what? why?" he asked and she noticed that josiah's face too took on a sense of fear. danielle motioned to the hallway, she left and timothy followed. "what is it?" he asked now that they were alone. "it's lexi and jake....they're in the hospital." she told him. ************************************************ is josiah the murderer? why did jake come to lexi's hotel room? what was lexi going to say before they were interrupted? and why are they in the hospital? find out next time! ~red~
