previously:
timothy and danielle got the security tapes from the hartford hotel where lexi and jake were attacked. danielle wondered if maybe it was cassie that attacked them, jake worried about lexi waking up and saying something to the police and he revealed that he would be checking himself out of the hospital the next day.

murder and lyrics

chapter twenty two: interrigating the celebrity and watching the human drama

danielle dragged herself into work about an hour and a half earlier then she was required to be there. she only half minded as she let herself into her office. she was more disapointed to find that timothy hadn't decided to join her in coming in early. danielle walked down the hall and back up startled as she saw someone laying on a desk in the hall. "jenny?" danielle asked as she recongized the figure of the young office worker.

jenny stirred and lifted her head work papers sticking to the side of her face. "long night jenny?" danielle asked and jenny blinked before she seemed to notice danielle and quickly sat up stright a look of small terror on her face.

"i was working all night...." jenny mumbled as she pulled the papers off her face. and brushed a hand through her short hair.

"maybe you should take the day off?" danielle suggested and jenny nodded as she stood still wearing her same outfit as yesterday. jenny left and danielle went into the same room as yesterday where the same box of tapes sat divided into halves. ones they had watched and ones they hadn't. danielle grabbed a tape off the non watched pile and pushed it in as she took off her jacket and turned on the t.v.

the hour and a half until timothy arrived to work passed by insanely slow. despite danielle fast forwarding the tapes it still took a good thirty five minutes to get through them. though she did notice about halfway through the first tape that a familar figured had begun coming to lexi's room. it was danny, he had been showing up at lexi's hotel room at random hours. he never stayed over night, always leaving after a few hours. it took no stretch of danielle's imagination to figure out what the two were doing.

what was more interesting was the fact that on a few occasions cassie had showed up at lexi's door. she'd knock looking more then annoyed and lexi would come to the door cassie appeared to speak curtly to her and lexi would smile before shutting the door only to have it reopened moments later by a shirtless danny who would step out into the hall as he pulled on his clothes. it was after these times that danielle could see the two of them argue. it was difficult to admit but she sorta found these interesting to watch. she'd lean forward wondering what they were saying to one another as she watched the human drama unfold before her eyes. more often then not the fights would end with one of them surging ahead infront of the other and neither would speak or look at the other.

danielle had only gotten through two tapes when the door opened and timothy stepped inside looking tired and unhappy. "morning." danielle quipped and timothy groaned and took a long sip of his coffee. she took a break from her tape watching and went with him to the holding cell to release josiah. the hall where the holding cell's were was colder then the rest of the building and danielle felt a slight twinge of guilt at the thought of josiah sleeping here.

the two detectives passed by multiple cells, some empty some with people inside. they continued down the line until they reached a cell near the end where the sleeping outline of a frumpy looking josiah was visible through the cell bars. timothy jingled his keys and they saw josiah stir and in an instant he was sat up and turned to face them.

"am i being released?" he asked overly hopeful and timothy shook his head.

"no, sorry but we are letting you out of the cell." he said as she jingled the keys once again. josiah let out a drawn out sigh and danielle watched as his hopes faded away. timothy unlocked the cell and josiah approached them slowly as danielle handed her temporary partner a set of silver handcuffs. they cuffed josiah and led him down the hall, he kept his head down and danielle wondered how he still looked handsome after a night in jail.

they put josiah back in the small interrogation room and he seemed even more hopeless then he had moments before. "josiah, do you have any proof that you didn't buy the poison that's on the recipet?" timothy asked as he sat across from josiah in the rickety wooden seat. josiah looked up raising his head to meet timothy's gaze.

"well, yeah sorta i mean i haven't used that credit card in ages and it's cancelled now and i haven't ordered anything off the net in even longer." he told them but they both knew that they couldn't take his word for it. "but i mean" he continued "i don't even have a motive for wanting to kill danny. he was my friend." he fell silent after that looking from timothy to danielle and back again.

danielle remained silent as she leaned against the wall while timothy let out a small sigh and reached for his suitcase on the floor. "you've had a nice long career haven't you josiah?" timothy asked as he pulled his suitcase up onto his lap. josiah raised his eyebrows obviously confused by timothy's question and danielle herself found it slightly odd.

"well, yeah i've been in music for a long time." he told them. timothy nodded but avoided looking at josiah.

"yeah, i mean you were famous while danny and cassie were both still kids in high school." timothy mentioned as he looked up at josiah. again josiah nodded.

"yeah, like i said a long time."

"so you had a nice long career already. you were on top of the music game when danny came into the business." timothy started as he unclicked the top of the suitcase and pulled it open.

"yeah, so what?" josiah asked sounding now just vaguly annoyed at timothy's line of questions.

"well, it must've been upsetting for you when danny hit it big, when people started calling him the new josiah hardwick." timothy said. josiah's mouth turned into a thin line but he shook his head.

"it wasn't upsetting at all. there's lots of people out there who are better then me." he told them flatly. "even i think his music is better then mine." he added.

"you sure?" timothy asked as he dipped his hand into the suitcase. "you weren't afraid of losing the love and fame and admiration of all those people? you weren't even a bit jealous as person after person claimed that you were out and that danny was in?" timothy asked as he pulled out what looked like a magazine and slid it across the table to josiah.

josiah looked down at the magazine that sat cover up on the metal table, the latest issue of a teenie bopper rag with danny's face smiling up at them. josiah made a small laugh "if i got jealous of every person in the music business i would be envious all the time." he told them. timothy nodded and flipped open the magazine seeming to already know which page he was looking for. the page that timothy had opened to was a two page artical with a large picture of danny and josiah seemingly shaking hands but the large red words at the top contridicted the photo.

"two titans of music: friends? or bitter rivals?" it read.

"what's this crap?" josiah asked as he looked down at the page.

"it's an artical claiming that you and daniel were in a fierce battle for the top of the crop of today's stars." he told him and josiah scoffed and pushed the magazine away.

"you're demented if you believe that crap." he mutter as he rested his head on his folded arms.

"all i'm saying is that jealousy seems like a motive to me." timothy said and danielle decided that she had enough of the two of them arguing and of josiah looking sad and shackled so she decided to go back to the room and watch the rest of the tapes.

danielle continued to watch the tapes for the next three hours and she had only gotten through about four and a half of them. she sighed as she felt as though her head would explode from the tedious act of watching the tapes. she stood from the seat and paused the latest tape as she moved over to the small window in the dark room. danielle took out her cell phone and flipped it open, out of boredom more then the fact that she needed to call someone.

suddenly an idea came to her one that she was surprised that she hadn't thought of earlier. she could call the hospital to see if lexi had woken up. she could schedule a meeting with lexi to ask her about what had happened the night she was shot. that way if lexi remembered something it would save danielle the hassle of having to go through the wretched tapes.

with a newfound sense of inspiration to finish the case danielle called the hospitals number that she had gotten the night before. it took six rings for someone to pick up.

"angel's and kings hospital, how can i help you?" she heard a womans voice ask.

"yes, this is detective danielle kerley. two of the suspects in a case i am working on are currently in the hospital and i was wondering if i could speak to one of them."

the woman was silent on the phone and danielle thought for a moment that she had lost the call. "okay, what are their names?" she asked.

"lexi hartford and jake walker." danielle told her "and i would like to speak to miss hartford." she added. again there was a lingering silence and danielle thought that the woman was probably checking out their information.

"okay detective, i'm afraid that lexi is still in her coma and can't speak to anyone and jake..." she began "jake walker checked himself out of the hospital about an hour and a half ago." she told her.

danielle was surprised, she was surprised that lexi was still in the drug induced coma and she was definitly surprised that jake had checked himself out of the hospital after such a severe injury. "oh okay, well when lexi wakes up will you please call me on this number?" danielle asked the woman the woman agreed and danielle hung up the phone.

danielle still holding her cell phone pondered calling jake and seeing if he was alright or if he remembered something but she decided against it as she tapped her cell phone against her fingers before turning back to continue watching the tapes.

it was two hours later when danielle was taking another break from the monatainy of the tape watching and decided to check in on timothy and josiah. she didn't go inside this time, instead she chose to linger outside the window looking into the steely room. she wasn't surprised to see that timothy and josiah were still in the same spots as this morning. josiah looked more haggard then he had this morning and danielle wondered if timothy was finally wearing him down.

an empty food tray sat on the metal table probably from the lunch that josiah had eaten an hour ago. danielle wished that josiah would just hurry up and admit what he did. it would be easier then going through this, but if josiah did do it, if he did kill danny then why fight so hard against it? why not just give in and admit the truth?

before danielle could ponder wheter or not josiah was innocent or guilty she saw a figure running towards her down the small hallway. "jenny?" danielle asked surprised to see the young office worker racing towards her with papers in hand. "i thought i told you to take a day off kid." she said as jenny came to a halt before her, her chest heaving as she pushed her hair away from her face.

"detective! i found some proof the josiah isn't lying!" jenny huffed as she attempted to catch her breath.
************************************
what proof does jenny have? why did jake leave the hospital and when will lexi wake up? could josiah really have been jealous enough of danny to kill him? find out next time!
