Caught In The Trap-HTGAWM

THIRTEEN

"Numerous sources within the Philadelphia police departments confirm that the tests showed it was, in fact, his body found at the Nayatt Landfill one week ago. Sam Keating was considered a top suspect on the Lila Stangard murder." Annora harshly closed her laptop placing her hands in her hair. "Can I not get a break for once, please?" A knock on the front door sent her downstairs but she saw Annalise and Hannah already at the door with two police officers outside.

"Are you Mrs. Keating?" One officer questioned causing Hannah to walk closer to the door. "Depends which one you mean." The cop stuffed his hands in his pockets glancing at Hannah. "Annalise Keating." Her mother folded her arms looking a little worried. "That's me."

The male cop put his attention back on Hannah asking, "And you are?" She looked warily at the cop before giving up her name. "I grew up in this house." "And I live here now. What's going on?" The cop moved his head as if the reason he and his partner were there is obvious. "You haven't seen the news?"

They shook their heads, eyes flickering between the cops. "Is he dead?" Hannah looked frightened not wanting to know the answer. "I'm his sister. Anything you can say to her you can say to me. Is he dead?" The cop nodded slowly, staring at her watery eyes. "His remains we're found in a landfill several days ago. We wound have notified you sooner, but it took my department a while to get a positive I.D."

Annora's breathing stopped. Many thoughts running through her mind. What if they know I was involved? What if they already arrested the others and I'm just the last stop? "How do you know it's him?" Annalise breathed heavily holding her body tighter.

"They tested the tissue against his DNA, which is already on file for the Stangard case." Hannah broke off to the side weeping and crying. For an odd reason Annora always found her cries funny and high pitched so she had to hold back a laugh as this was not the time.

A car had pulled onto the side of the road causing the cops to turn around. Frank ran out of his car and up to the house gate seeing the four. Annalise walked closer to Hannah which only caused her to push her off. "Don't touch me!" She released a loud animal like groan and scream after she spoke.

Annora bit her lip tightly and pressed a back against the wall. The feeling in her throat unpleasant from containing laughter. Hannah stood up looking to the cop while pointing at Annalise. "Arrest her. She killed him." Her words made Annora finally come from her spot and outside. "Wait! Hannah, she didn't do it." Annora had to make some tears appear before she came out to make it seem as if she was still crying over his death.

Frank walked into the gate staring widely at them all. Hannah grounded teeth jabbing a finger at Annora. "Arrest her too. They both killed him, I know it." The cop waved his hand at her, letting Annora move closer to her mother. "Ma'am, please, if you could just calm down for a second."

Hannah threw her hand in their direction staring ridiculously at him. "They killed him, and- she-they, tried to hide it by making it seem like he was missing and that he killed that girl, but he didn't. She did it. That's her. They're the murderers. They killed him."

Frank watched on in the background feeling very worried. Hannah glared at the cop like he had two head and one of them was a chicken. "Arrest them! I said... arrest her! They're murderers! She killed my brother! Arrest them! Arrest her, I said.! Arrest her, damn it!"

The Keating Six all sat in the class with rest of the students while their "new" teacher taught. He was speaking to a student when Annalise suddenly walked in shocking everyone except her daughter. "No, that's just your nerves." She quickly walked to her desk setting her things down while the substitute watched her. "Dean Sumner said you weren't coming in, considering.."
