The Skulls II Page #5

---

Kelly, I told you

not to let him in.

What did the Skulls promise you?

You can't accuse Ryan of this.

You're gonna ruin his whole life.

Yeah? Well, if he's smart and he does

the right thing, it'll never come to that.

God, do you actually buy into this

high-powered uber-bullshit?

I mean, they're just gonna use you

like they use everyone else.

I loved you like a sister, Kel,

and it hurts me more than you know

that you have to turn on me like this.

So I guess you'll be moving out...

since the lease is

in my name, not yours.

And before you go, you still

owe me money for the phone bill.

Try to be out of here

by tomorrow night, okay?

- Yeah.

- Hi, Ry, it's Greg.

What do you want, Greg?

Turn on the TV.

- What?

- Channel 7. Just do it.

All right.

Hold on a second.

- What channel?

- Channel 7.

Holy sh*t.

That-That--

Was that the girl on the roof?

Yeah. Yeah.

Ry, whatever you do, be careful, okay?

I'll call you tomorrow.

All right.

Ryan, we've unfortunately

had some bad news...

and felt that you should know

about it, involving Diana Rollins.

She's dead.

Evidently she was coming back

from that skiing trip I told you about.

- The one in New Hampshire?

- She hit a patch of ice and went off the road.

Well, that sounds like

a terrible accident.

That's right--

an accident.

According to

the coroner's report,

there were no traces of any drug

or alcohol in her blood system.

It was just a case of

the wrong place, at the wrong time.

The council was concerned

that we would look callous...

if it was ever discovered

that we staged an accident...

as part of your

revealing process.

They wanted me to make sure that your

commitment to the first truth is solid.

A Skull above any other.

I know you were concerned

for her safety before.

We'd all appreciate it if,

out of respect for Diana,

from this point on...

you stay silent

on the subject.

Well, there's nothing to tell,

is there, Parker?

Hutch, come here.

Now, I know there's been

some tension between the two of you.

I'd like you to...

shake hands and bury the hatchet.

No hard feelings, Ry?

Ryan?

No.

So.

You know that what they told us

in there is just a total lie, right?

Listen, I know

what you're trying to do,

but I am really scared now.

Okay, I'm really scared.

We gotta do something

about this, Jeff.

I-I need your help, man.

I gotta go.

Kelly.

- Hey.

- Hey.

- I talked to Ali.

- And?

Your couch available tonight?

I just stood there--

took it.

Ryan, what else

could you have done?

I let Parker steamroll

right over me.

You couldn't have fought them--

I mean, not there, not at the Tomb.

Yeah, but...

I saw a girl die.

There's nothing

I can do about it.

Ryan, what is that?

Ryan, is that--

Can't talk inside.

They're listening to everything.

I don't know.

Maybe I should just go to the cops.

With what evidence?

And don't forget, I talked to Ali.

She will press assault charges.

- But I didn't do anything.

- No,

but she has a restaurant

full of witnesses that saw you walk up...

and seemingly threaten

her and Matt Hutchinson.

So basically, what you're

telling meis that I'm screwed here.

Unless there's

something we're not seeing?

No, I've been over it

a million times.

Okay, Ryan, just tell me again

exactly what you saw.

Listen, there's no use.

All right.

Hutch was up there first,

and he had a flashlight in his hand.

Then I saw Diana.

She was-- she was

kind of shy at first,

but then, you know, after a while

wasn't so shy, if you know what I mean.

And then--

then she fell.

Well, did she have

anything with her?

A blanket.

Did Hutch have anything?

She was drinking.

- Wait.

- What?

Something Parker said tonight.

According to

the coroner's report...

there were no traces of any drug

or alcohol in her blood system.

I don't know.

You know, it could be nothing.

Yeah, but it could be everything.

Yeah, but maybe he got it wrong.

I mean, how are we

ever gonna prove it?

The coroner's report.

What about it?

The coroner's report-- it would have

to state an exact time of death.

Right.

And I saw her fall, like, what--

Saturday night?

Yeah, that was four days ago.

And they-- And they said

the accident happened this afternoon.

Look, I don't know much about

pathology, but I'm pretty sure...

there's a big difference between

a corpse that's four days old

and a corpse four hours old.

Yeah, and I'm willing to bet there were

traces of drugs and alcohol in that body.

We gotta see that coroner's report.

Tell you what. Why don't I

take this really comfortable couch,

and you can have the bed upstairs.

Okay. Thanks.

Listen, Kelly, um--

whatever happens,

I hope we can--

you know, if it's

cool with you, um--

I hope we can sort of stay,

you know, like this.

Definitely.

Great.

Good night.

Good night.

It's only 8:
00.

You sure he's even in?

My brother Greg is at work

at 7:
30 sharp every morning.

There are few givens in this life,

but that's one of them.

Hi.

Greg Sommers, please.

What? No.

Greg Sommers.

All right.

Thank you very much.

- They fired him.

- What?

Oh, that must be him.

Yeah. Hi.

Greg, is that you?

- Hello?

- We're watching you.

Who is this?

Let's get outta here.

Sh*t.

Come on!

You all right?

Yeah.

- Hey.

- Hey.

- Greg, this is Kelly. Kelly, Greg.

- Nice to meet you, Kel.

- Ryan's told me a lot about you.

- I can imagine.

So, why did Taft fire you?

I mean, you were following along like

a good little soldier.

- It doesn't make sense.

- I became a liability when I called

you last night.

It was stupid. I should have

known your phone was tapped.

So they're using you to keep me quiet.

That's great. Trying to.

They threatened to have me disbarred if

I so much as talked to you about Diana.

Well, welcome to the party,

because if I keep pokin' around,

they're gonna charge me with assault.

- What?

It's all bullshit, but if they've done

their thing, the jury might just buy it.

- I'm so sorry, Ry.

- "Sorry?" What are you sorry about?

After Dad died, I tried to step up.

I brought you into this.

I thought if you came through it,

if you became a Skull,

it would make you a stronger person.

I bought into the lie.

Look, they lied to both of us.

Don't blame yourself.

I'll tell you one thing though.

Diana Rollins did not die in a car accident.

- This thing's been a cover-up.

- They're not gonna stop, Ry.

You know that.

Then we won't either, will we?

Security.

- So, how well do you know him?

- I called him as a witness on the

Bridgeport murder case.

Is he a good guy?

He's, uh, okay.

So, long time no see, Greg.

How you been?

I've been well, Phillip, thanks.

How 'bout yourself?

Oh, I'm fine.

Just fine, if you know what I mean.

I appreciate you taking the time to see us.

I promise this won't take long at all.

No problem.

So, what can I do for you guys?

We've got a couple of questions

about a girl who was brought in yesterday--
