Javier:  I’m so sorry! (rushing out as Crystal runs after him)
Crystal: Javier! (turns back baffled) (~)
Rochelle:  But you couldn’t protect us both and I was the one you sacrificed. (~)
William:  To give you a fair warning, a heads up!
***Jessica:  What’s going on here?  Law-- lawyer, you’re his lawyer?  Why would you need a lawyer?
William:  Whoa, one question at a time, please!
Jessica:  (serious tone as she approaches him face to face) What the hell is going on here?
William:  If you give me the chance, I will tell you that this is the heads up I was referring to, I don’t plan on staying in this hellhole for much longer.  (Jessica backs away skeptical of what she has just heard)
(<- Northern Heights Resort ->)
Brett:  Did I say something wrong?
Danielle:  No, I just don’t think it would be something you’d want to hear?
Brett:  Well, if that’s the case, then I will let you know.  Come on, what have you been up to?
Reporter:  There she is!
Brett:  What the--
Reporter:  Excuse me (pushing Brett out of the way) Ms. Marquez, tell us how it feels to be the lead model of Hunk & Beauty Fashions, the newest competitor of the modeling world? (Danielle taken aback by their presence as well as Brett by their question)
(<- Hallandale Courthouse ->)
Royce:  Hey, are you nervous about taking the stand?
Kendall: Kind of, I mean, every person that has gotten on the stand has been torn apart in one way or another.
Royce:  Well, you weren’t even in Hallandale when Leonard was murdered, so there is hardly anything the DA could use against you.
Kendall:  I hope you’re right.
~Nick Scotti is now playing the role of Liam Jackson~
Rochelle:  God, I don’t know how much more of this trial I can take.
Liam:  Well, as far as I know, the defense has two more witnesses, and then there is closing arguments and the verdict.
Rochelle:  Well, it all can’t be over soon enough for me.
(<- Leysdale Hospital ->)
Crystal:  (responding to his knock on the door) Enrique, Hi.
Enrique:  Hello, Crystal.
Crystal:  Are you here about new developments in the case?
Enrique:  Yeah, but right now, I am here to question Billy. (Crystal steps aside)
Billy:  What’s going on, Officer?
Enrique:  We may be closer than ever to finding your shooter, but we’re going to need your help.
*Theme Song*
Billy:  Well, of course I will do anything to find out the identity of the bastard who did this to me.
Enrique:  Then I suggest you start thinking long and hard about who wanted you dead because someone did.
Billy:  What gives you that idea?
Enrique:  One of the witnesses to your shooting that night recalls certain features about your shooter and she got the distinct feeling that this man could be an enemy of yours.  (Billy appears nonchalant at the suggestion)
(<- Northern Heights Resort ->)
Danielle:  I have no comment, excuse me.
Reporter:  How has your decision to be lead model affected your relationship with co-workers?
Danielle:  (attempting to bypass him) My relationship with my co-workers is just fine.
Reporter:  That’s not what I hear around the grapevine.
Danielle:  (saying with a smile) I don’t know what you’re after, but you’re going to get out of my face.
Reporter:  I am after the truth and I’m starting to wonder if you’re problems with your co-workers have more to do with the fact that you’re working for your half-sister.  (Brett turns in shock at the Reporter’s comment)
(<- Hallandale County Prison ->)
Jessica:  You’re delusional.
William:  If that helps you sleep at night.
Jessica:  (scoffs and turns to his lawyer) How can you represent this man, do you know what he has done?  He held me captive in an ice cooler, but that was not before leaving a good friend of mine for dead in the same cooler also.  He is an attempted rapist, an abuser, but that doesn’t matter to you, does it?
Man:  My client was only charged for wrongful imprisonment and assault with a deadly weapon.
Jessica:  (scoffs and turns back to William) If you think I am going to sit back and let you get away with what you have done, you think again. 
Man:  I hope that wasn’t a threat against my client.
Jessica:  Who are you anyway?
William:  Now, I’m surprised Jessica that you don’t recognize the famous Attorney A. Ramsey-Lakhan!
Jessica:  I don’t care how famous he is, he is going up against the citizens of Hallandale and he will lose. (leaving as A turns to William with a slight grin)
***Royce:  Hey, are you holding up all right?
Kendall:  (appearing restless) Yeah, just waiting for this trial to begin.
Royce:  I hear you, I don’t know what could possibly be delaying them.  (Kendall suddenly looks up with a change in facial expression)  What is it?
Kendall:  Are you going to go talk to her?
Royce:  Somehow, I don’t think that would be a very wise decision.
Kendall:  Well, I for one feel that waiting for this trial has been awkward enough, so I am going to say hi.  (Royce sighs as she walks off) 
Liam:  Looks like someone spotted you.
Kendall:  Hi Rochelle, Liam.  How’s it going?
Liam:  Hey.
Rochelle:  Hello Kendall, so why didn’t Royce join you or was he too afraid to face me? (Kendall unsure how to respond)
(<- Northern Heights Resort ->)
Brett:  The lady said to get out of her face.
Reporter:  This isn’t over, come on guys.
Danielle:  Thank you!
Brett:  No need, the reporters were being invasive as usual and I got rid of them.
Danielle:  (breaking the 30 second silence) Come on, I know you’re dying to know.
Brett:  (nonchalant expression) Know what?
Danielle:  If it’s true, am I working for Michelle?
Brett:  (takes a deep breath) It’s not my problem, it’s yours!
(<- Leysdale Hospital ->)
Billy:  I have already told you before that I do not have any enemies.
Enrique:  Well, if that’s the case, then this guy could be even more dangerous.
Crystal:  Well, you said that Dana recalled certain features about the shooter, what were they?
Bella:  (walking in) What’s going on here, why are the cops questioning my son?
Crystal:  Excuse me! (pushing Bella out)
Bella:  What do you think you’re doing pushing me out of my son’s hospital room?
Crystal:  Stopping you before you ruin everything!
***Bella:  How am I going to ruin everything?
Crystal:  Because Billy needs answers, he doesn’t need an over protective mother, okay!
Billy:  Well, what do you know about how the shooter looks?
Enrique:  All we know for certain is that the shooter was a man with dark long hair and brown eyes.  Does that ring any bells?
Billy:  Hmm… nothing! (Enrique not entirely convinced with Billy’s answer gives a suspicious look)
Enrique:  Are you sure?
Billy:  Yeah, the description doesn’t register with me!
(<- Hallandale County Prison ->)
William:  Your timing was perfect!
A:  Yeah, I could see that, but at the moment, I am more concerned with Ms. Chappell’s exiting statement.
William:  Jessica has the tendency to rant and rave when she knows she is about to lose.
A:  Be careful, you do not want to seem overconfident.
William:  (ends with a cocky grin) Why not, I have enough faith in you to overturn this appeal and there is nothing Jessica or her friends can do to stop it.
(<- Hallandale Courthouse ->)
Kendall:  I am Royce’s friend and employee, not a mind reader!
Rochelle:  Really, because you sound a little defensive.
Kendall:  Maybe I am on the defensive because I did not come over here to discuss Royce or his avoidance of you, which you damn well know why he is.  (Rochelle scoffs with a grin)
Liam:  Maybe we should go inside the courtroom and cool down a little.
Rochelle: No, I find the truth is more accurate in the heat of the moment. Go on Kendall!
Kendall:  (hesitant expression) You know what, I am going to say something because I believe Royce when he said he wouldn’t have let you face prison time for a crime that you did not commit and look, you’re free and Kavina is facing the consequences for her actions.  So get off your moral pedestal because the last thing Royce needs is to be crucified by you. (She walks off as Rochelle scoffs and looks down in shock and back at Liam)
Rochelle:  That was interesting.
Liam:  You asked for it. (Rochelle gasps and then grins at the suggestion)
***Brett:  (in his apartment handing her a glass of water) Here you go!
Danielle:  Thank you!  (takes a sip and puts down the glass) Are we all right?
Brett:  Why wouldn’t we be?
Danielle:  Well, it’s just earlier.
Brett:  Like I said pretty much earlier, it’s your life, you can do what you want with it. (Danielle not sure how to react to Brett’s new attitude)
Rochelle:  So what’s been occupying your time, you kind of disappeared after the whole scene with Kendall and me.
Liam:  I just got back from the DA’s office, it looks like the defense has a surprise witness coming forth.
Rochelle:  Whom could the defense be calling as a surprise witness?
Liam:  I don’t know, but the prosecution seems very worried about it. (Rochelle mind starts wheeling thoughts)
Crystal:  Hey, so I guess you’re finished questioning Billy.
Enrique:  Yeah and actually, I really got to run, so--- I’m sure he’ll fill you in.
Crystal:  Sure, good night!
Enrique:  (walking off) Good night!
Bella:  Did he seem a little evasive to you?
Crystal:  Yeah, but--- (moment’s pause) never mind.
Bella:  (walking back into her son’s room) Hey, you’re all right?
Billy:  Just a couple questions, I’m fine!
Bella:  Okay, then I will see you later (kisses him on the forehead) Love ya, bye.
Billy:  Bye!
Bella:  Bye Crystal.
Crystal:  (turning back to Bella when approaching Billy’s bed) Bye.  So what happened after I left?
Billy:  Before we discuss that, could you please get some yogurt from the cafeteria, I really have this strange craving for it.
Crystal:  Sure, your wish is my command.
Billy: Thanks! (grinning as she vacates, then his face turns serious) No, it couldn’t be, it can’t be him!
*Stay in Tuned for Scenes*
Next: 
Rochelle:  I think Kavina could go free. (~)
Widlin:  I chose you!
Darron:  and why couldn’t you say that to your father’s face? (~)
Dana:  What happened between you and your brother? (~)
Lournings:  Ms. Reyes, shall I repeat the question?
