Chance sat alone waiting for the investigator to return. Another officer offered him a drink or cup of coffee, however he refused. All he wanted to do was get back to Tim, he needed to be with him and explain everything to Dena.

Williams entered the patrol area just as Chance looked up, "Mr. Ray, would you come with me please".

Chance immediately stood and followed the investigator down the hall, walking into the office shared with Swartz. Looking a bit bewildered, he sat at the side of the desk as directed.

"Mr. Ray, is there anything you may have possibly forgotten or perhaps thought was not important that you haven't already shared with us" Swartz asked.

Chance thought for a moment, going over everything in his mind, the only thing missing would be whatever Luisa had and he hadn't heard from her since coming to the station. "No sir, I believe I've given you everything. Is there a problem?"

Swartz glanced up at Williams before opening the folder. He placed the photographs in front of Chance to view. "You stated that your relationship with Mrs. Foust was purely platonic. How do you explain these" he asked as Chance looked on.

"No way...no fucking way..." he remarked at each photo, getting more angry by the minute.

"Mr. Ray... calm down... Chance" the investigator stated, attempting to calm him.

"She's gone too far this time, this did not happen. I have never, ever been with her that way. That's not who I am" he told them.

"Is there any time that you were with her, alone since coming here" Swartz asked.

"No..no...only...fuck" he answered.

"Well, I take it you were together" Williams stated.

"Yes, but not like this. I was alone, in my hotel room. I'd stopped at the liquor store after spending the day with her and her parents finally convincing them to take Tim's offer so she wouldn't have him arrested. I had a bit to drink, had spoken with the band and Tim....when I got off the phone she was standing in my room " Chance retorted "she made an attempt but I told her I wouldn't be with a married woman, it was all part of the plan, she began to cry, I had to continue the charade, but no way in hell did I have sex with her. She's not the one...." he rambled before trailing off.

"Whoa, hold on there friend...plan, what plan" Williams asked.

Chance took a deep breath before he totally explained, then took out his phone to show the photos she had sent him, the text messages. Everything was time stamped from the time she first contacted him. "If you could find Luisa, she could help put the pieces together, she has even more".

"Swartz, get a patrolman and try to find this young woman" Williams advised.

Swartz left the room as Chance leaned forward on his knees, covering his head with his hands, fear replaced the anger he felt. "Would she still help, go against her sister. Jenika's family was always tight knit, what if Luisa played him a fool" he thought to himself.

"Chance, if you're telling the truth, you have nothing to worry about" Williams assured.

"Sir, I swear every single bit is true" he stated, swiping his hair back with his hands.

"Let me ask you this...why...why go to such elaborate means...why not get police involved from the beginning" the investigator asked.

"The band, Tim, all of us as a whole...trying to keep it all out of the public eye. Believe it or not we are a relatively private group of guys, our business is just that, our business. But I thought with the way she felt about me, the infatuation and all, I would gain her trust to turn her away from her intentions to ruin Tim. I did it for him, I owe him my life " Chance explained.

Somehow Williams felt he was still holding back, that there was much more to his reasoning.

****
The guys sat in the waiting room while Tim's family stayed in his room, watching the news reports just added to the frustration everyone was feeling.

Reporting live from outside the Marshfield Municipal Center where local singer Jenika Marion and her father have been detained by police following an altercation earlier at the home of her parents. Sources tell us that Ms. Marion had been a victim of spousal abuse in her Tennessee home shared with country music singer/songwriter Tim Foust of the acapella group Home Free and had retreated to her Wisconsin home as an escape. We'll continue to follow this story and provide updates as soon as they are provided.

"So much for keeping it private and out of the public eye" Austin remarked, leaning his head against the chair.

"You don't believe any of that do you, that Tim actually hurt Jenika," Rob asked confused by the reporter's statement.

"Absolutely not, not for one minute. Tim's not like that. Do you honestly believe he would be the one laying in that hospital bed if he was capable of hurting her, or anyone for that matter" Adam stated.

"I know...I know " Rob replied, "it's this whole mess..the lies..the accusations..I just.."

Adam sat down next to Rob, laying his hand on his back, "it'll all be over soon, Rob. Once Chance and Luisa get the information to the police, it will be over"

"Can't come soon enough " Austin piped up as Dena walked in.

"What can't come soon enough" she asked walking to the coffee pot.

"Nothing, Ms. Dena" he answered, sitting upright.

Pouring coffee she looked around the room, the sullen faces of her son's bandmates tore at her. "Guys, have faith. Timmy is strong, he'll get through this, he has all of you to pull his strength from" she told them encouragingly.

The three looked at one another, knowing she didn't know the whole story.
