There was complete silence after I admitted that. You could literally hear a pin drop. I saw both Uncle Jess and Officer Scott exchange knowing looks.
This made me realize that they were taking my statements seriously. I guess mom was right. I have to listen to them because they have been in this line of work for so long already.
"Let me lay everything out for you Ms. Smith, it is a possibility that he was not the one doing the killing and hurting when he was young. I also believe that je cause you no reason to fear him because he did not want you too." Officer Scott stated in a grave manner.
His words started to make me feel a lot better. He is finally seeing sense. Even mom and dad were not inclined to argue anymore.
I managed to convince him of Tartarus' innocence. Ed's eyes narrowed when he caught sight of my gleeful expression. I tried to imitate Officer Scott's poker face but I guess I failed miserably when I saw Ed shaking his head.
