The Murder Pact Page #4

---

Shh, I'm on the phone.

Are you just gonna

let him do this?

Hang up now!

Ow.

Well, that was very rude.

You made your point, okay?

Good.

Now get out of my sight.

What?

Did you put the camera

in his closet?

I was gonna

ask you the same thing.

Well, what if he's right

and somebody does know?

Cam, he probably made it up,

or Annabel did it.

You don't trust them?

No, and neither should you.

Hey. Wait, wait.

I've been thinking

about what you said,

about how someone

might know something.

So you believe me now?

Well, I think

it's a possibility.

What do we do?

Well, we can tell someone,

end it all now.

That's what you want, right?

What, did Will send you

to check up on me?

No, Will did not send me here

to check up on you.

I don't always agree

with how Will handles things.

Just call me if anything

else happens, okay?

You can trust me.

Cam, wait.

You should know he probably has

an insurance policy on you too,

something to hang over you

if you cause trouble.

Just look out, okay?

Uh, what are you

doing in here?

Um, I couldn't sleep,

so I was going over the emails

from the party planner.

Oh, and how's that going?

Good.

She just needs a final budget.

No budget; just make sure

it's a night to remember.

Well, in that case,

I will do my best.

What?

Nothing.

- You're looking at it again.

- What are you talking about?

You're staring at my eye,

Camille.

No, I wasn't.

You have the lifestyle you're

living right now because of me,

and all that I want from you

is to not look at me

like I'm a sideshow attraction.

I know that,

and you know I am very thankful

for everything you do for me.

Then act like it.

I'm sorry, Camille.

I know.

You always are.

Will LaSalle?

Can I help you?

Hi, I'm Detective Dakoulas.

You mind if I ask you

a couple questions?

Sure.

Looking for a girl that went

missing from your school

a few nights ago,

Lisa Thompson.

You know her?

Uh, doesn't ring a bell.

You sure?

You've shared several

classes with her

over the last few years.

Uh, not to sound like a dick,

but if someone

doesn't run in my circle,

I've probably never

heard of them.

She, uh, definitely

isn't in your circle,

so I was surprised

that a witness spotted her

with your friend,

Camille, Friday night.

That's news to me.

You're sure

you don't know her?

It's a big island.

She could have been

visiting anyone.

It's a funny thing

that you don't recognize her,

considering your relationship

with her roommate.

Excuse me?

Heidi Wilkes?

Shame what happened to her.

I'm sure you're broken up

about her death.

Yeah, no, of course I was.

Why do you ask?

You were seeing her,

weren't you?

Uh, I don't know

who told you that,

but you have the wrong

information.

Huh.

It's funny.

I just got that impression

considering the text history

between the two of you

on her phone.

She was supposed

to delete those.

And according to a

conversation with her roommate,

she was pregnant

on the night of her death.

- Pregnant?

- Yeah.

Anything you want to tell me?

I... I'd really appreciate it if

you didn't let that get around.

Why's that?

To be honest, I don't want

my fiance finding out about it.

Hey, I'm not here

to cause you that type

of trouble, Mr. LaSalle.

I appreciate that.

Uh, just so you know,

when I get back, I will be

talking to Camille about Lisa.

I doubt she'll be much

more help than I was.

You never know.

I don't mean to hold you up.

Pick up.

Camille, sweetheart,

call me as soon as you get this.

Hey, babe, sorry.

My phone died in class.

Oh, hi.

Listen, we need to get

our stories straight.

- What do you mean?

- A detective's gonna come...

Hey, let me call you right

back; somebody's at the door.

- Cam, you listen...

- Just a second.

Listen... damn it.

Um, Lisa, right?

That's right, Lisa Thompson.

Yeah, I think she's

in my criminal studies class.

When was the last time

you saw her?

Um, last week sometime?

You don't recall seeing

her Friday night at the docks?

You know what?

I think you're right.

No, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no.

Are you sure?

Yeah, yeah, definitely.

I'm sorry, I don't really

know her that well,

so my mind just kind of blanked.

Do you have any idea where she

may have been going that night?

No.

So you didn't speak

to her at all?

I mean, we just exchanged

pleasantries just to be nice,

but...

Is she okay?

I don't know.

Now, the other two?

Rick and Annabel?

They live here on campus,

correct?

Mm-hmm.

Will?

Rick, listen,

there might be someone coming

to talk to you about Lisa.

Yeah, thanks

for the heads-up, buddy.

He pulled me out of practice.

Coach made me stay after

and clean up the locker room

because of it.

- What'd you say?

- Nothing.

I told him I'd never spoken

to Lisa, just like we agreed.

Good.

You did good.

What the hell, man?

Why is somebody

asking us questions?

He's not gonna find out

anything.

Just stick to the story

and don't do anything stupid.

Yeah, well,

I think it's a little late

for all of us on that.

What?

What is it?

Camille? Camille,

it's your turn.

Oh, um, yes, I'm ready.

I just have to hook it up

to the projector.

Hurry it along 'cause

we're running low on time.

'Mm-kay.

No cell phone.

Sorry.

Sorry,

I'm having computer problems.

Hey, hold it a second.

God.

Roderick,

you've got to stop this.

I've got midterms.

Bels, please.

Look at yourself.

You got to get it

together, okay?

Annabel.

Let's get into positions.

Oh, don't stop on my account.

I was just finishing

getting ready.

Quite the change

since freshman year, huh?

How much did you lose,

50, 60 pounds?

65 pounds, wow.

Mary Kate, eat your heart out.

You're a better dancer

than ever too.

Almost perfect.

Well, I wouldn't go that far.

You know, you're right.

No one's perfect,

especially someone

with secrets like yours.

I don't know

what you're talking about.

Just letting you know

that nothing escapes me.

Bye.

Annabel, are you okay?

I'm fine!

Annabel Montgomery?

Yes?

You told him

you never saw her, right?

He knew I was lying.

I know he did.

And what'd you tell him?

I told him

I didn't know anything.

I don't talk to Lisa.

You sure about that?

You know, all of us have

to stick to the same story.

I know.

If one of us slips,

he'll start to catch on...

I said I know.

Well, I think it's time

we update Lisa's status, huh?

Get him off our backs?

Annabel,

did you bring her tablet?

I did, but now it's...

It's...

It's kind of missing.

What?

Look, I put it

under my bed, okay?

But it's just not there.

You're kidding me.

Look, I'm sorry, okay?

I... I don't know

what happened to it.

Oh, my God,

oh, my... just calm down, okay?

All we have to do is sit down

and talk it out.

Where's Rick?

I think he has a meet

at the lake today.

What's happening?

Locker search.

They got an anonymous tip

about drug abuse on the team.

Rick,

what the hell's wrong with you?
