AN: Okay so there's no good way to change this without it coming out insanely gay so we'll just deal with that.
Kellin's POV
All of the crew exited into the Jail's main lobby except for me. I had a theory so I began to sing one of my favorite songs. "Who, Who is the guy with loyal friends and true?" I snapped my fingers. Oli warily replied, "Who, who?" and snapped his fingers in response. I continued on with the song. "Who, Who has a bond as strong as krazy glue?" Oli sounded more hopeful and sang back. "Who,Who?"
"Who can sound the call and brothers all come through." I snapped once and ran up to Oli. We both finished the song together. "Who? (Snap) Who? (Snap) Delta Nu Nu Nu! Delta Nu Nu Nu! You are a Delta Nu!" We both snapped our fingers twice in unison. We hugged and broke into a fit of laughter. "Delta Nu's former UCLA President Kellin Bostwick! I knew I recognized your mug shot!" I said happily. "Shut up!" Oli said laughing.
"Oh yeah! Your DVD's got me in shape to be June for the Boys of UCLA calendar!" I said in awe. "That's so great. Thank god someone on this legal team gets me!" Oli said holding me at arm's length. "Brotherhood's forever. I believe you. And I will fight with everything I have to clear your good name. But that involves an alibi...." I said trailing off on the end as I knew it was a touchy subject. Oli immediately looked uncomfortable. "I can't tell it." He said trying to drop the subject right there.
I put my hand on his shoulder. "Everyone has their secrets. For years I denied my highlights." I whispered. "It's beyond highlights, Kellin. It's a disgrace. My secret is nuclear and if it gets out, I could lose my fitness empire, which means everything to me. If I tell you...will you Delta Nu Brother Swear not to tell anyone?" Oli said looking around in case anyone was listening in. I nodded and held up my hand proudly. "I will Double Delta Nu Brother Swear." Oli hi-fived me.
"Wow you're hardcore. Okay. On the day my wife was killed, I had....." He turned away from me and whispered. "What?" I asked. Again he muttered his alibi. "Oliver, you're going to have to speak up, I can't-" Oliver cut me off in an outrageous fit. "LIPOSUCTION! MINIMALLY INVASIVE, OUTPATIENT LIPO, BUT LIPO!" I gasped. "Oh, my god!" I said shocked. The guard entered into the room and yelled. "Mr. Sykes, your time is up." "I had to do it!" Oli whisper-yelled. "Your secret's safe with me." I reassured him.
The guard began to pull him out of the room but he shouted one final plea. "My fans are counting on me, I can't let them down! You gotta take care of me, Kellin! You swore." Oli yelled as a final attempt but I swore and I was going to keep my word. I walked out into the lobby and my team stood up. "Kellin, there you are." Vic said smiling at me.

Third Person POV
Preciado turned to Kellin and said, "Where's Oliver?" Kellin shifted back and forth before replying, "The guard took him back." Kellin looked professional today; He was dressed in a Navy blue suit and no one could deny that he didn't look hot. "Great..." Preciado said unamused. "But I got her alibi." Preciado's eyes almost popped out of their socket. "You're kidding. So. What is it?" Preciado asked as his eyes scanned Kellin up and down. Kellin shifted back and forth before replying to his boss/teacher. "I'm afraid I can't tell you." He said smiling proudly.
"Why not?" Preciado asked seeming a bit whiny. Kellin laughed a bit knowing this would sound ridiculous. "I Double Delta Nu Brother swore not to." Kellin said smiling. Everyone either sighed or gave Kellin a pity look. "Kellin, this is not some little sorority thing..." Tony said. Kellin stepped forward towards Tony and Justin took a step back. "Oh I know. It's a big Fraternity thing. But don't worry: Oliver really had nothing to do with this. Think about it: Oliver's a fitness king. Exercise gives you endorphins, and endorphins make you happy. Happy people just don't kill!" Kellin said laughing at the end. Preciado looked like he was going to kill someone.
"Victor-a word." He said before dragging Vic to the corner of the room. Lynn, Tony and Justin all surrounded Kellin to begin yelling at him. "Kellin, are you serious? If you don't give up this alibi, we will ALL lose the case." Tony said getting into Kellin's face. Kellin wasn't going down without a fight though. "Then I guess we're not very good lawyers." Kellin said shrugging. "Will you stop being a Marilyn, Kellin? Listen, Pooh Bear- um Kellin. Preciado wants that alibi. Give it to him and you can sail through law school, knowing there's a big fat job offer waiting for you when you get out." Justin said trying to reason with the petite blonde in front of him.
"But I gave Oliver my word." He said, meekly. "So what, who cares?" Justin said. On the other side of the room, Preciado was drilling into Vic. "Victor, let me be very clear. This is your chance, and I gave you simple instructions-Lead this legal team and get me an alibi. You're zero for two." He said. The two then returned to the group of interns. "Everyone, field trip's over. Let's go. Back to work." Preciado says and everyone begins to file out. He stops Kellin and Vic from exiting with the other interns though. "Except you two. I'd rather not see ratty corduroy or legally blonde again today." He said to them before exiting with the interns. "Vic, I'm sorry." Kellin began but was cut off by Vic.
"I don't need you to be sorry. I need you to tell me the alibi." Vic said yelling at Kellin a bit. "I can't because I gave Oliver my word. Having an alibi isn't the only way to win this case." Kellin said trying to get Vic to see the other side and where he was coming from. "No, but it sure would help." Vic said. Kellin grabbed Vic's hands and held them in his own. "Work with me. We'll free Oliver the right way. The noble way." Kellin said. Vic tore his hands away from Kellin's and began to pace up and down.
"This isn't some Lifetime Original Movie, Kellin. I'm not interested in nobility right now, I'm more interested in saving Oliver's life." Vic said in disbelief. Kellin laughed. "No you're not. You're more interested in impressing Preciado." Kellin sassily proclaimed. (AN: I don't care if I made this sound like a play haha.) "Well he IS my boss. And if I impress him he'll make me associate." Vic said trying to defend his irrational behavior.
"And jeopardize your client's trust and our integrity?" Kellin asked looking him up and down. Vic sighed giving up the fight. "Well, when you put it that way." Kellin laughed at him and ruffled his hair. "Exactly, you butthead. My word means something, I know yours does too." Vic laughed at his terminology. "No one's called me a butthead since third grade." Kellin laughed at him before replying. "Maybe not to your face. C'mon let's get out of here." Kellin said grabbing Vic's house and pulling him out of the door.
Vic sighed. "Why do you always have to be right?" Vic asked whining. Kellin smiled at him. "I don't have to be....when I'm with you, I just am. Hey, if you want to impress Preciado, I can help." Kellin said. Vic's eyes brightened when Kellin said he could help him. "Okay. How?" Vic asked Kellin as they walked down the street. "Listen, I love your scruffy vibe, but "Casual Friday" is so not in Callahan's vocabulary, and you have to dress the part if you want to get ahead." Kellin said and Vic laughed while shaking his head.
"Kellin, didn't your mother ever teach you about not judging a book by it's cover?" Vic asked in shock. Kellin nodded. "She did. And books with tattered covers stay on the shelf." He said. "Thanks a lot." Vic said sarcastically but deep down his pride was hurt a bit. "Victor, this isn't a perfect world. Think people haven't judged me my whole life? Think it wasn't a good idea to make navy my new black?" Kellin said pointing to his outfit.
"No, that was a good idea." Vic said smiling over at the younger. Kellin nodded. "I know." Kellin said not even taking Vic's opinion into real consideration. "Where are we going exactly?" Vic asked as Kellin led the way down the sidewalk. "You trust me, don't you?" Kellin asked. Vic nodded as a slight idea of Kellin being a serial killer passed through his mind but he quickly dismissed it. "Of course." He finally said. Kellin grabbed his hand before running down the sidewalk. "Then don't stop now."
