It's going to be a late night." He kisses her on the for head and walks back to his cruiser without Jenn saying a word. She gets in her car and drives to the house they share in Westwood Park.

"Sabryn, can we talk?"

Sabryn

"No!" Sabryn bumps in to Natalia as she walks out of the hotel to find her man Bryan.

Ria walks over to Natalia after seeing Sabryn push Natalia.

"Girl are you ok? Are you going to let her do that to you? What is going on?"

Natalia

"I'm ok. She was just being a Bitch. Nothing I cannot handle. One day Ria, I swear that bitch will eat her words."

Ria

"Ok Natti girl, well you call me in the morning, I got something to tell you." She whispers in her ear " Girl, Dondre beat my nana' up" Natalia begins laughing, as Ria leaves the hotel as well with her fiancee Karim.

Police Chief, Abe Williams stops Daniel as he is trying to leave the hotel.

"Mr. Cosgrove..A word with you please?

Daniel slowly turns around to face the chief.

Abe

"I understand you may know about some drug activities going on here?"

Daniel

"No sir I don't"

Abe

"That's funny because you look high and I can smell the stench of marijuana on you."

Daniel

"I don't know what you're talking about chief."

Abe( giving Daniel a piercing look)

"Is that so? Prove it to me, come down to the police station TONIGHT and take a drug test."

Daniel(getting nervous)

"You just can't order me to take a drug test out of the blue. I did nothing wrong chief. I didn't kill no one."

Abe(intrigued with Daniel's's last statement)

"Kill? Now who said anything about murder.?"

Daniel

"Look chief I just wanted to let you know I had nothing to do with nothing."

Abe

"Come down to the police station for a drug screening tonite and That's an order! You are now a person of interest with what transpired tonight." Abe walks away.

Chris immediately walks up to him

"What's going on Daniel? First someone falls from the fourth floor, then Tyler gets arrested and now you are a person of interest. "

Daniel

"Damn it I don't know. I don't know what is going on. I lost Lauren, and maybe now my freedom." Daniel pulls out his cell phone as he walks out side of the hotel and into his car.
