Rachel is walking across the busy street when her cell phone rings.

"Sergeant Bower."

"Sergeant it's Jerry, I have some news about Jeff's phone records."

"What is it, Jerry?"

"He's talked to Mike, Larry, and George several times over the last few weeks. Each of these calls lasted over ten minutes."

"What about the day of the fire?"

"He talked to Larry, George and to a guy by the name of Ed Jones."

"I want you to look each one up, see what you can find."

"Do you think they're the ones who's forcing Jeff to confess?"

"I know the three have a part in all of it."

"Really?"

"A waitress told me Jeff met up with Mr. Jones and Larry at the restaurant that day and Mike was mentioned in Jack's note."

"I'll see what I can find."

"Keep me posted." Stepping in the bank Rachel walks over to the first teller she sees.

"Can I help you with something, Sergeant?"

"Yes, I want to know about your camera's out front," she begins.

"Jerry sees the suspect looking around when he walks in the room.

"We ran into a glitch in your story, Jeff."

"Yeah, what's that?"

"You said you were home all day, right?"

"Yeah?"

"Then why does a waitress put you at the dinner twice that day?"

"Maybe she has her days confused."

"'You didn't talk to Larry?"

"I didn't talk to anyone. Ask my wife, she'll tell you."

"Then why does your cell phone show you talked to him and several others, Hmm?"

"I want a lawyer."

"I won't he able to help you once a lawyer gets involved."

"I don't need your help, detective, I need a lawyer."

"Suit yourself," Stepping out of the room, Jerry pulls the cell phone out of his pocket.

"Sergeant it's Jerry. Jeff denies talking to anyone. When I told him his cell phone records proves different, he decides to lawyer up."

"I have security footage from a bank across the street. I haven't watched all of it but the part I've seen shows Jeff and Larry meeting with another guy three different times this week. I sent you a picture from the security footage. I want you to find out who the guy in the middle is." Jerry checks his phone.

"The guy in the middle is George Plunkett."

"Have patrol pick Larry and George up, I'll grab Mike."

"You might want to hold off on that."

"Why Jerry?"

"The original plan is still a go."

***

You wanted to see us, Larry?" Mike asks as he and George make their way over to the park bench.

"Yeah, I want you to take care of the Jenkins's once and for all."

"How?"

"Abby is sleeping in the trailer behind the hospital, so I want you to go in and take care of her, while her guards are on another call."
