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

A few hours later, Kelly was lying in bed, completely dead to the world. She had taken some medicine to be able to fall asleep, and she was finally able to relax a little bit once they got back to the compound. That's where she felt the most safe. Before she fell asleep, she looked at Benton, and he knew that the medicine was starting to kick in because her eyes were starting to dilate, and they were getting heavy as well, “I don't want to go to the trial. I don’t want to have anything to do with this anymore.” “Whatever you want to do is perfectly fine with me. If you want to go then, we'll go together. If you don't want to go, then you and I will find something to do.” Benton said as he rubbed her hair as he sat on the bed, looking down at her. He was going to talk to the people in the lab for a little while and let her have some quiet. When he got back to the apartments, though, he didn't spot her on the bed. Once again, she was hiding behin

Days went by while they waited to hear about everything that was going on at the police station. Kelly picked up the computer and started writing. She just started writing whatever she felt, and then she started at the beginning of her story. In the meantime, Benton had spent more time in the lab giving her space, knowing that she needed it right now. In his mind, the same if you love it, let it go kept coming to mind. He wasn't letting her go, but he was letting her figure everything out in her own mind without interjecting his own personal opinions into everything. That's when she was sleeping. She had a moment where she kept talking about the different shapes of a core cell. She had been talking about it so badly that it woke him up. When he listened to her, he knew something was still bothering her in her mind, but she couldn’t place it. The nightmares and bad dreams and played a huge factor in everything that she was doing now. She had seem

Benton opened the doors, and the techs were still in shocked that they had managed to get the quantum diffuser to work correctly and to hold any momentum in keeping the machine going. Everybody was still in awe as they continued to look at the machine. He looked down at her and smiled. “We need to do another test run so she can see,” Benton said as he looked at the techs, who all nodded, and then they went to their designated safety areas to go ahead and start the process of turning down the machine. Because of the way that they were working with the quantum mechanics and the quantum energy in the area, they did have quite a few safety protocols put into place just in case something went wrong. He gave her a pair of safety goggles and moved her across the way to the furthest place from the machine under safety glass and everything else that he could possibly think of to make sure that she was OK, but she needed to see this. The countdown to starting th
