Did you kill him?

That takes me by surprise as I look up into intense green eyes, ones that ask me that question again.

I assume were talking about Conrad.

You know we are, dont make me ask you again, just answer my question.

Did I kill him, why would she think that I killed him?

I look her straight in the eye and lie to her face, of course I didnt kill that *****.

She just stands there, staring at me, shaking her head.

You can tell me, I just want to know, have to know really.

Shane I swear it wasnt me, why would you think that it was?

Who else could it have been?

God do you really think Im capable of murder?

I think that any one of us was capable of it, we saw what he did to Dana, saw how he destroyed her life, I think that anyone who loved her would want that man to pay.

Shes right, anyone could have killed him so again why did she think it was me and not someone else?

Damn it, she knows me so well, I should have seen this coming, should have had answers ready for her.

Ill tell you this much I did want him dead, but Im not the one who did the deed.

Shes not backing down, I can see it, she knows oh god somehow Shane knows the truth.

How can she, theres no way that she knows, I just have to calm down.

You can lie to the rest of the world but not to me I can read you like a book, how long till they figure it out? Dont you think Dana deserves to know the truth?

Shane Im telling you I didnt do it.

I cant believe this, I covered my tracks well didnt I? Of course Conrad thought the same thing but I saw all that he did could it be that someone saw me as well?

Damn it, you tell me the truth now.

I am, I didnt have anything to do with it.

Why does she keep looking at me like that, why wont she take my word and leave me alone?

The front door opens, Jenny walks in, she smiles at Shane as she walks over and places a kiss on the top of my head.

Shane leans in close to me, so close that I can smell the peppermint on her breath.

Dont worry Marina, your secret is safe with me.

She tells Jenny good bye and leaves me sitting here not knowing what to think or say.

How did she figure it out, how long before everyone else does the same?

Jenny is talking to me but Im not really hearing her.

Shanes words ring true, Dana above all the others deserves the truth but how can I tell her? How can I tell any of them?
