When the police started calling again to make an appointment that they could come out to the compound so they could talk to the both of them again, Benton knew that something happened. He had heard through the Grapevine that the case was starting to pick up a little bit of heat. It had been nearly three months since the accident that caused Kelly to lose her memory and also for her to end up walking across two counties to the top of the mountain that his compound was in, and then she gracefully fell off the cliff and set off every laser grid that he had. Honestly, he was grateful at this point that it had happened at all. Her being able to be there with him was the best thing that ever that had happened to him, and even though he knew that they didn't start off very well because he suspected that she was a spy, it had turned out to be the absolute best thing in his life.
He knew that life was going to be different, and he was happy with that. He

The police were there earlier in the morning to talk to the couple in the conference room. Benton was not thrilled with the fact they showed up early. He was looking forward to having her a little more relaxed before he let them upset her at all. It had already put a damper on his morning as well. This was not exactly the first thing that he wanted to deal with at the crack of dawn. However, he knew that this was going to be the time that they were going to be able to at least try and figure out what the police knew. They really had not kept in contact with them too much unless they had a specific question which was usually a yes or no question. Since Kelly had gotten back her memory, they really had not used her as a witness too much, still knowing that the trauma could bring things back too quickly. He was pleased with the fact that they were listening to the doctors that he had there about her condition. They weren't pushing her very far either.

Over the next week, Benton was in constant communication with the detectives working on Kelly's case. There had been a huge breakthrough, and they knew the area that the people on the boat had settled in for the time being. They had rented a cabin on the beach a few months before the accident. Some of the other people, like the crew of the boat, had also had a cabin rented for them. Everybody was expecting a huge payday when they were done with this charade. They had been opening their mouths more and more at the local bars and any local restaurant. They were trying to show off that they had money, and at the moment, they had none. They were basically living off of credit. There have been a few phone calls between one of Kelly's siblings and her ex-boyfriend. That was what led them to find the cell tower that was closest to them. At the moment, they were sending officers down plain-clothed to scout out the different areas. They knew the trail was becoming hott

Kelly and Benton stood off to the side under the street. The entire street was overloaded with police officers from different counties in different States and different organizations altogether. She had never seen anything like this in real life. It has only been on something like TV. This was nothing like what she had seen on TV. This was her life in the balance. The reason why all these people were here and putting themselves in danger was because no one knew what was in the house was because of her and the accident that happened on the boat. It was one of the most surreal feelings in the world to Kelly. She took a deep breath in, and she would let it out slowly as she could feel the salt in the air. The sweet thang that was still there in the scent was easy to pick up on. She had always loved the water. Though she didn’t want to be near it right now. She didn’t know if she was ever going to be OK with any body of water again though she had not completely lo

As they went to the nearest police station where they were going to be held, the people in the cars were all surprised that Kelly was there at all. Some of them had asked questions to the police officers, which had been ignored. Basically, they had been advised of their rights, and each one of them had been told basically to shut up. Nobody had any sympathy for them. Benton and Kelly had made their way to the police station as well. Knowing that they were going to hopefully get to hear what the people had said. They were going to start with the crew members first and then work their way up to Kelly's cousin and her ex-boyfriend. That way, they would have enough ammunition against the other people by the words of the crew members versus just what evidence they had. As of right now, legal counsel was not an option for them. They have been given the right to one, but nobody had asked for one yet. As they knew as they looked at Kelly, there was no money for it. Ev

The interrogations went on for about four hours as one by one, the crew was taken into the rooms, and they were asked a series of questions. The answers were all the same, and they had to wonder if they were being coached to say such things or they were really left in the dark and didn't realize that they were an accessory to trying to commit murder. Kelly looked at all of them, and though she didn't really know if she could be an expert on reading people, she had to believe it was the second option. These people didn't honestly know, for the most part, if what was going to happen. They have been used just as much as everybody else in the entire process period, from the insurance companies to anyone who had supplied information on Kelly's life to the people that were supposed to be the closest to her. They all knew when to strike. However, these people were completely caught off guard by the whole situation. They were just trying to survive, and knowing

When Josh was brought up, he just stared at her with his wide blue eyes. This was the moment that she had been waiting for. She could care less about what her ex had to say, but this was what she had been looking forward to. Even though I wasn’t looking forward to anything. She wanted to know why Josh was involved in any of this. “I can't believe that you're alive,” he stated as he looked at her with complete disbelief. The shock was there written on his face. He had thought the plan had worked. “How do you know I’m alive? I could be just a ghost standing there ready to make you look like a complete ass,” she responded as she looked at him. Her head was beginning to hurt just by looking at him, knowing that he had betrayed her so badly and tried to end her life by pushing her over the boat. She had remembered that he was the one who took her shoulders and gave her a shove over the side. “I don’t care why you did it, but I want to know why? Why did you

After the lunch, the two got back on the helicopter, and he took her hand in his giving it a gentle squeeze as they took off. And also, throughout the entire time, he was playing with her fingers. There was something cathartic about the whole action for both of them. They were headed to the police station that was holding her family, including her siblings and her parents. There were also various cousins and also aunts and uncles. This was going to be an absolutely huge case because it was the largest conspiracy that most people in the area would ever hear of. Because of his involvement as well, he knew that it would soon make national news. He knew this was taking a toll on her, and he didn't want it to drag her under the water. He was going to try and figure out something that would be more distracting for her, but he also knew that he had let her deal with this on her own. All he could do was stand by her and make sure that she was taken care of when she fi

After about four more people being brought up, it was finally her parent's turn. Both of them were going to try and come upstairs at the exact same time and talk to different DAs now that the other one had arrived. Kelly waited in the same spot that she had basically been in one everybody had been brought up. Each person had looked at her like they were seeing something out of a horror film. Nobody knew that she was alive except for her parents and when she saw her father for the first time since the accident she had to fight with herself not to run to him. He had been a part of this right from the start, and even though he had been probably one of the people in her life that she had depended on the most, knowing the fact that he was a part of this tore her to pieces. When he was placed in the interrogation room, he didn't even acknowledge that she was there. That was a slap in the face to her. She felt it physically. The opposite reaction happe
