"Okay, this is now an official crime scene. Let's lock it down." Dewey said, turning to the police officers. "Get that camera out of here!"

"Please tell me this is a prank, Dewey." Sidney asked.

"I'm afraid not, Sid. Come on." He said, wrapping an arm around her shoulders and directing her towards a police car. Sidney turned back around to face Gale and Addy.

"Gale, bring her to the station for me, will you?" she yelled to her. Gale nodded and walked towards the trunk.

"Stand back, Gale." Judy warned. "Gale!"

"I just wanna see." She told the deputy. "C'mon, Addy." She wrapped an arm around the girls shoulders protectively and directed her to the car, before driving to the station.

As Gale walked into the police station, she grabbed two of the lemon squares Deputy Hicks had made Dewey, and handed one to Addy.

"Here, you must be hungry." she said. Addy took a bite out of the lemon tart, before pulling a face and throwing it in the trash.

"Taste like ass." she said. Gale laughed and began to walk towards the interview room Sidney was in.

"Excuse me, Gale, Addy, he's conducting an interview." Judy said, standing up straight as the pair walked up to the door.

"Great, I love interviews." Gale said, trying to walk past Judy.

"You'll have to wait Gale, sorry." Judy said fake-sympathetically, "Can't let you in there. Can't let  a kid in there." She directed the last part towards Addy, who glared at her.

Gale laughed. "What are you gonna do, arrest me Deputy Judy?" she challenged.

"If it comes to it. Civilian interference with a police investigation poses many a problem in the court of law." Judy replied.

"Someone's done their homework..." Addy muttered.

"OK, listen to me Judy." Gale said. "I don't mind that you're working with my husband, or that you even bake him those little treats, as you do. But if you're gonna start acting like him, you gotta mustache on, cause you sound ridiculous." When she was finished, Gale tried to open the door to the room yet again, and Judy tried to stop her.

The door flung open, and Dewey walked out. "Deputy. Addy. Gale." he greeted. "Go please." he whispered to the latter. "Uh, Sidney, if you don't mind giving us a minute."

Sidney walked out of the interview room and wrapped her cousin in a hug. "What's going on, Siddie?" Addy asked her.

Sidney thought about telling her. She really did. But she didn't want Addy to be hurt. "Nothing. Just some stupid prankster."

"I thought Dewey said it wasn't a prank?" Addy asked, confused.

"Yeah, well, there were cameras about." Sidney lied.

"Right then." Addy said, not believing her. Dewey pulled Gale into the interview room, and they began to argue in hushed voices so the people outside wouldn't here.

Gale rushed out of the room a couple minutes later. "Your lemon squares taste like ass." She said to Judy.

"They don't. They really don't." Dewey assured her.

"Liar." Addy said in a stage whisper, and Sidney slapped a hand of her mouth, giving Judy a strained smile.

"Thank you, Sir." Judy replied to Dewey.

"Sheriff." An officer said, walking up to Dewey. "We got a couple high school kids in here. Two of them, they say they got threatening phone calls this morning from the victims' phones. Names are Olivia Morris and Jill Roberts."
