When the school bell rang bringing another day to a close, Gabe couldn't be happier. All his friends had been on edge all day. Faith had told Gabe about a party Ross was throwing and he had been invited. Gabe had nothing to do later, but he didn't feel like going out so he said he'd see. When Gabe got into his room, Landon was on his bed doing his homework. "This is a first", Gabe said, laughing. Landon smiled and shook his head, "I'm getting paid for this so I thought I'd try". Gabe got on his bed and just thought. "You going to that party tonight?", Landon asked, briefly looking up from the physics homework. Gabe turned on his side so he was looking at Landon, "I don't know", he answered. "I heard it's some sort of keg party", Landon said, "I'm going". Gabe had nothing to do so he thought. "Yeah sure, I'll go", Gabe said, finally making up his mind. "Awesome", Landon said punching the air, "This party is going to be sick".
Earl, Marlon, Tim and Jerome arrived at the police station. Jerome was signed in and Marlon got into the interview room. "Just relax, Jerome", Earl said, "We just want to ask you some questions". Jerome tried to relax, but his palms were sweating immensely. "Interview started at 4:42 p.m.", Earl said. "So, Jerome", Marlon began, "We would just like to know what you were doing outside this man's house at 4 in the morning with 3 other people". Jerome could feel his uncle staring into his soul. "No comment", Jerome said, stumbling over his words. "Did you know 4 people were killed in the burning?", Earl asked, "It's just looking bad that you and 3 others are running away from the crime scene when you said you have nothing to hide?". Jerome was sweating, he was in shit now.
