We wake up to the sound of sirens, and instantly get up and put on our clothes. Jerome puts on a red and orange robe, and I put on a blue shirt with a green undershirt under, with black skinny jeans. We heard a knock on the trailer door and walked outside to be greeting by the Ringmaster and a detective and a doctor.

"GCPD, we need to speak with Lyla." The man says.

"She's not here." Jerome says as we both exit the trailer. "Why what's happened?"

"Where is she?" The man says as Jerome puts a jacket on.

"Uh, I don't know, she was supposed to be home ages ago."

"You a relative?" The man asked.

"I'm her son, Jerome, and this is my girlfriend Jess." He said.

"When did you last see her?"

"This morning. She was here when we left for the library." Jerome said as the head Ringmaster put a hand on Jerome, as if to comfort him.

"Relax, Jerome. This man is here because Owen and Al had a disagreement. You're mother's fine. Gone for a spree no doubt, you know how she is.." The ringmaster said.

"Without her hat, her coat? Her purse?" Jerome asked the ringmaster. "Look at Sheba, she's distraught. She knows something's wrong." Jerome said as Sheba started wiggling around in her cage.

"The snake does seem to be agitated." The man said with a smile.

"Sir, she's what you'd call a party girl." The ringmaster said.

"How fast does a snake like that move?" The man said?

"Fast walking pace." Jerome said

"Let her out." The man said.

"Are you crazy?" I screeched.

"It's alright Jess." Jerome said as he put a soothing hand on my arm and let the snake out.

The snake started slithering its way to a truck that had a white sort of blanket hiding something. The man took the blanket off the truck only to reveal Lyla's bloody, dead body. As much as I wanted to smirk, I couldn't. We kept our act up, as Jerome fell to the ground sobbing, and I fell down with him, holding him. The woman came over and put her hands on us.

"Oh my god." The woman said.



*Whaddya think? I tried to base this off of the show as much as I could. Tell me what you think in the comments please. -Jessi*
