As Sam entered the lab, she noticed the quietness. What was going on? Why was everything this quiet? Better question; where was everyone? She remembered Rhia had told her that Brian was to that Tingle woman, but where was that new one? Lilly? She hardly dared to walk, so she tip-toed her way to Rhia's office. She looked around the corner. "Rhia?"

Rhia was sitting at her desk, filling out some forms.
"Hi, Sam! I was waiting for you to start the questioning...", she looked up from the paper and smiled. "Shall we?", with these words she got up and followed the hallway to the questioning room. She glanced shortly through the glass to see Ms. Tingle sitting there looking unhappy. With firm steps she entered the room, Sam at her side. They both sat down at the table, an officer flanking the door. He nodded them his greeting, before he continued to stare at the wall grimly.
"Ms. Tingle? I guess you know why you're here. You haven't told us the truth. We know about Milly...", Rhia said and looked at her earnestly.
Ms. Tingle looked at her crestfallen. "I knew you would find out...", her voice was barely a whisper. "They took Milly from me the moment she was born. And I had to watch her growing up, calling my sister 'Mommy' and I became so angry. I would have been able to look after the kid. I surely would.", the words had come out so quickly, Rhia had to make an effort to understand everything. "But nevertheless - she was my sister! I could never have done anything to harm here. Believe me!", her voice was pleading now.
Rhia nodded shortly. She didn't know why, but something in her belly told her that woman was telling the truth. But she wouldn't let her go that easy.
"What happens to Milly now?", Ms. Tingle asked after a short pause. "Since you're her mother, you'll get child custody, I presume. But we have to ask you another few questions, okay?", Rhia said and looked to Sam.

There was a sharp knock on the "mirror" in the interrogation room. Brian was on the other side; he had just gotten back from the house. But he didn't like what he found there: a man, face down on his living room rug, a single bullet shot to the back of the head. And there was tons of half-burnt paper in the fireplace. There was also a safe which had been broken into. The crime scene at the house spoke volumes to him.
He knew it was a professional hit. He knew the papers were valuable evidence. He knew there was exactly $12,500 missing from that safe -- exactly half of the $25,000 he suspected that the two men had been paid to kill the clowns. He also knew that someone was trying to frame Ms. Tingle; Brian would bet anything that the documents found in Ms. Tingle's house had been forged to make her look like a murderer, and that the papers in the fireplace were her original documents.
Brian did not know why she withdrew $25,000 from her bank account, or how the men got a hold of that money. But he did know she was telling the truth. And he did know that there was a professional hitman running around with a lot of money.
The hit on the clowns was personal, and they probably got greedy and knew about Ms. Tingle's delicate position, so they framed her and took her money. Then one hitman became even greedier and killed his partner for the other half of the payment.
He needed someone to go down to that house, fingerprint it, recover the half-burnt papers, and probably locate a 7.62x19mm round from a familiar AK-47 fired into the back of one man's head, along with any other evidence that might lead them to the last suspect, who probably thought he had made a clean $25,000.
Brian was going to wipe that smug smile off his face, and fast.

Sam smiled at Valery Tingle. "Yes... we indeed have some more questions. For example, what was your withdrawal of twenty-five thousand dollars for?" "I-" just when Tingle wanted to answer, Sam and Rhia heard the knock on the one-way mirror. The three women looked up. "What's that?" Sam asked. A rethorical question. She left the interrogation room, knowing Rhia would follow anyway, and walked over to Brian. "Hey. What's up?"

Brian carefully told her everything, knowing that time was crucial with a hitman on the loose, and he wanted everything to go perfectly. A true professional would be getting prepared to leave the country... and they had to find him before he did.

"That sum perfectly fits with the withdrawal from Ms. Tingle's account. Everything's pointing at her - the only chance she has is that we get the hitman before he's gone...", Rhia said quietly, rubbing her earlob with her left hand.
"But...where do we start? We only have a face noone knows...", she stopped short. "Maybe Ms. Tingle knows it... she's known Clemens Igny, hasn't she? In her script the sons were the killers, maybe there's another parallele...", she pointed out excitedly, gesticulating wildly with her arms.

Brian winked at her. "I'll talk to her about it. There's plenty of evidence surrounding our hitman at that house, and I really need your expertise there! I'm a detective, remember? I can handle a little interview."
Brian confidently strode into the interview room without waiting for a response, and shut the door. "Howdy, Ms. Tingle. I'm Detective Brian Shefkowitz with the NYPD. You can call me Brian, or whatever name you feel suits me. Yes, I'm here to bore you and waste your time with the standard obligatory questions... but right after that, I need to talk to you about clearing your name. How does that sound?"
Brian knew it was risky showing her the ace up his sleeve right off the bat, but he needed her complete cooperation, and the only way to get it was by being completely honest.
She stared at him, disbelieving how frank he was with her. She thought about his offer for a tense moment, and then nodded in the affirmative. Brian flipped on the recorder, and took a sip from Rhia's glass of water that had been left on the table. Clearing his throat, Brian began the interrogation...

"I'm sorry, Sam. It seems like I have to ask you for a favour again. Could you help me check the house of Clemens Igny?", Rhia looked at her pleading. "Two pair of eyes are better than one and we're short of men and women..."
She smiled and took the paper out of her hand Brian had slipped to her. She opened the little quadrate, on which she found the address of the building they would find the body in.
"Are you driving?"

"Well, sure! I'd love that!" Sam replied. "Where do we have to be? 'Cause you bet I drive!"

lilly was asleep on her couch. then she heard something coming out from her room, where milly was sleeping. she grabbed madeline's baseball-bat and runned towards the bedroom. when she ran in, she saw a guy standing at milly's side. he turned around as lilly runned toward him, baseball-bat ready. she hit his shoulder, then his stomach, then his arm, and then he grabbed the bat out of her hands. lilly turned around to go backwards, but the guy was faster. he hit her on her back, hard, causing her to collapse on her knees. then he hit her again, this time on her head. she fell completely down on the floor, unable to move. she saw the guy take milly over his shoulder and walk away, milly screaming and hitting him on his back. when they were away, lilly managed to crowl towards her cell phone and searched for the newly familiar number, rhia's number. she heard the person on the other side pick up the phone. "Rhia, it's Lilly. help, please," she whispered, and then everything went black...

When Rhia and Sam got into Sam's car, Rhia's phone went off. "Yes?", she said and then her eyes grew larger. her mouth fell open and she turned around to Sam.
"Quick, Sam. Drive to Lilly's!", she shouted and fastened her seatbelts. "She was barely able to whisper. I think someone paid her and Milly a visit. Sounded like was going unconscious...", she continued a bit calmer. Then she called 911 to send some paramedics over, but with the order to wait for their arrival.
While Sam was manoevring her car skillfully through the traffic, Rhia dialled another number.
"I know it's bad to disturb an interview, but please get me detective Shefkowitz to the phone!"

Sam tried her best to manoeuver the car throught the New York traffic. She hissed a few curses when a taxi suddenly braked. Even the fact that she turned on the lights didn't help. Finally, she got rid of the traffic jam when she discovered an alley way that would provide her with a handy short cut. "Count this as an emergency" she mumbled.
It took them another half hour to finally reach Lilly's residence. "I hope she's okay" Sam mumbled.

Brian had been summoned from the interview room and briefed on what happened. Lucky for him, he was still wearing a tactical vest. All he had to do was put on his sunglasses as he ran out to his car. He sped out of the parking lot along with several other patrol units. He instructed them to establish a perimeter around Lilly's neighborhood.
Brian, being an officer with NYPD, had the advantage of having a light and siren in his car, and so he was standing in Lilly's living room by the time Rhia and Sam showed up. They immediately ran to him.
"Hey girls. About 20 minutes ago, they transported her to Our Lady of Mercy Hospital. She'll be fine, but she had a nice concussion. I found Milly's shoes here in this room. Now, if I had known she was taking Milly home with her, I would have sent a guard to watch over the house. However, this was just the kind of mistake we were waiting for our suspect to make. His evidence is all over this room. I've got to go to the hospital to follow up on Lilly, but I'm sure you have plenty of work to do now with fresh evidence."
Brian patted Sam on the back and squeezed Rhia's shoulder as he stepped outside. Peeling off his gloves, he stepped back into the car, and drove to the hospital. He was told to sit in the waiting room and be patient while Lilly was being treated. And so, he sat, keeping an ear to his radio in case the patrol units saw anything suspicious.

lilly woke up. she wasn't at her home. she was in a hospital! "what happened?" she asked a nurse, who was trying to get a bandage around her waist. the nurse looked up. "oh, you're awake," she said. "yes, i am and i'd really like to know what happened," lilly said, getting a little unpatient. "attacked in your own home, from what i've heard," the nurse said. lilly's eyes grew wide. "milly!" she said in shock. "i have to find her!" "not now," the nurse said. "right now you're being treated." "no, you don't understand! i have to find her! she's my responsibility! oh, rhia is gonna kill me..." She tried to stand up and walk away, but then she noticed the massive headache she had. she quickly sat down again. "maybe not a good idea after all..." she said. she just had to wait for the nurse to finish and right after that, she HAD to find Milly.

Brian had been watching everything intently. He saw the receptionist at the desk pick up the phone, speak a few words, and then hang up. He saw her eyes scan the crowd in the waiting room before resting on him. The receptionist beckoned Brian to come forward. He did so, and the receptionist told him that Lilly was conscious now.
"Thank you," Brian said cordially. He strode back into the hospital to find her room. "Sir you can't go back there yet!" Called the receptionist. Brian knew they were too busy to chase him down, and even if he did, all he had to do was flash his badge. Then he found Lilly's room, and walked right in.
"Lilly? How are you feeling?" He asked.
