"I need to see him!" I demand slamming my arms on Brock's wooden office desk.

"Hannah don't make me throw you in jail too. Sit down." Brock casually says.

"Looks like you've been doing that a lot lately." I say challenging him.

"Han maybe you should shut up and sit down?" Nolan says carefully, placing me down on a chair.

"Listen, your boyfriend needs you right now so instead of taking it out on me take it out on him, he's the one who's been doing this not me. I just brought the guy in." He says leaning back in his chair.

"Diego is not the killer." I grit my teeth.

"The evidence says otherwise." He throws a thick file in front of me with Diego's name on it.

"I don't care about the evidence." I throw the file back to him. "I know he's innocent."

"Hannah his name is in the visitor's list the day Paisley escaped. Wasn't it your theory that whoever did that is the killer?" He tilts his head teasing me.

"Actyally we all cotributed to that theory." Nolan says.

"Shut up Nolan." Aubrey, Randy, Brea and I yell at him.

"Detective Brock can't you see this is all set up? Three days after I give you that theory the list comes back with Diego's name? The killer obviously set him up."

"Why?" He asks. "Why would he do that?"

"I don't know, not many killers want to be caught and thrown into jail." I say sarcastically.

"Maybe he wanted Hannah to keep her mouth shut." Randy says. "Think about it this is his way of getting back at you for helping the police."

"Listen kid, I'm just doing my job. This isn't some show where you give theories and help solve the case, I got a name here and I brought the guy in. Now leave me to work. Got something else to say?" Brock asks.

"Yeah." I say as we all stand up. "You're not doing a very good job."

"Hannah." Aubrey quietly warns.

"I'll prove to you that he's innocent and you let him go." I make a proposition.

"That's gonna be a little hard." Brock says.

"Why is that?" I ask.

"Cause your boyfriend is keeping a very big secret from you."

"And what is that?"

"That he's done this before." Brock smirks.

"Don't listen to him Han." Randy says.

"I'm not. I'm not gonna go snoop around my boyfriend's past because someone said he's a killer."

"That someone is a cop Hannah." Brea saus carefully.
