Stare at the liar 🥀
As the girls were just chilling in the cafeteria, an officer worked in and told them to hand in their phones.. it was already tapped and tracked since yesterday night but still they needed it to go through it.
"Why" Denna asked
"Because you have to" the officer shot back, if Peter was suspecting anybody it's gotta be Denna
"Fine" she sighed as she threw her phone at him luckily he caught it.. the rest handed in their phone without any questions it wasn't worth it anyways.
"Carl" Peter knocked after hearing an approval he entered
"Here's all the phones" he said putting them in front of Carl before taking a seat
"Any suspicious calls or messages" he asked
"No,not actually" Carl replied
"Do you think maybe we're heading into the wrong direction" Carl said
"Like we should think outside the box?" Peter asked
"Do you think the media should be involved" Peter asked
"I mean they need to know if it's even vaguely" Carl said
"Maybe we need them, anybody seen anything because 7th Avenue has shitty camera's and very few, even the bushy area doesn't have cameras" Peter explained
"Any suspects" Carl asked
"It's hard to pin point one of them..it not like I suspect suspect her it's more like I don't like her" Peter said
"Who" Carl asked
"Denna" Peter said
"Wendy" a called came from behind the door
"Come on in" carl said
"I'm in interrupting something" Sam said with a mischievous smile
"Oh shut up" Carl said throwing him the first thing she could grab which was her car keys..
"Missed" Sam said catching the keys
"And What did I say about calling me Wendy, Sam" she added with raised eyebrows
"Your like my favorite place Wendy's" Sam defended, Peter couldn't help laugh
"Any reports" Carl asked
"Well the club manager, Joshua actually left for a vacation" Sam reported taking a sit as well
"Vacation, when?" Peter asked
"Yesterday afternoon to France" Sam answered
"I want to speak to someone directly under him, Peter I want him searched. I'm talking background, childhood, family everything" Carl instructed
"Sam I want his phone tapped..see if we can get anything he's up to these few days if nothing good shows up..hack it" Carl added
"Sure" Sam nodded
"Oh and I wanted to ask.. about the case and the media" Sam asked
"I think they need to know something, we don't know if we're dealing with a serial killer or a psychopath or a up coming serial killer" Peter said, Carl nodded agreeing
"Contact the local newspaper and Sager's top tv stations.. you know what to say nothing too much just something for now..we'll see where it goes from here" Carl said
"Oh shit I almost forgot..I saw this psychology thing. I saw it online and I wanted to try it" Sam said
"Again" Peter said with an eyeroll
"You might as well work in the psychology department" Carl added
"Here we go, I'm going to ask you a question and your gonna stare into my eyes and answer" Sam instructed
"Okay" Peter agreed he's not deputy chief without a reason, he was confident sam's psychology trick won't work on him
"Do you have a crush on carl" Sam asked, the moment the question was asked, peter's jaw clenched, he tried subconsciously avoided eye contact he was looking in between sam's eyes or bridge of his noice, and he's head was moving to one side. If your not an observant person you won't notice
"Why would you ask that" Peter asked with a chuckle.. he would have easily said yes if Carl wasn't a woman with a boyfriend
"Just answer the question" Sam said,even Carl was now staring at him
"No" Peter answered
"Lie" Sam said
"Whatever" Peter murmured
"See it works..you just have to ask the right question..the one that triggers" Sam
explained
"You just have to stare at the liar" sam added before waving them goodbye and leaving. Carl and Peter just sat there with a awkward silence
"I'll leave now" Peter said after a while, Carl just nodded.
"Scarlet avara" her stepmom called
"Coming Mandi" scarlet answered running down the stairs
"Why is the police at my door this good morning" mandi asked with a frown
"The police" scarlet asked with an raised brow
"Yes the police, there in the living room" mandi said pointing at the palo
"I'm not bailing you out I'm telling you" mandi said, then left
"Um-hello" scarlet said to the cops that were comfortable sitting to her coach and looking around
"Scarlet avara?" They asked
"Yes, how may I help you" she asked taking a sit
"We are hear to inform you of your friend's passing" the officer informed
"What do you mean my friend's passing" scarlet asked as panic evident in her voice
"Did Charon, oh no….did Jennifer?" Scarlet asked
"Yes Jennifer" the officer said
"She was found dead in some bush in seventh avenue" the other one said
"What" she literally screamed
"Sorry for your lost but well like for you to come to the station" the other officer said
"You think I killed her" scarlet said
"Ma'am we just want to ask some questions" the officers said
"Fine" scarlet said
"Lemme get my phone" she added she then went upstairs for her phone then left with the police. The whole car ride they could see her silently crying and sobbing from time to time
"Take a seat please" the officer said as scarlet got into the interrogation room
"Can you tell us about 7th and 8th june?" The officer asked
"I wasn't here on the eight" scarlet said
"Where were you" the officer asked with interest
"I went for a wedding that our company planned…I work at the moonly club" scarlet informed
"On the 7th I was at home the whole day because I had to 'bond with my mom'" scarlet said rolling her eyes at the bonding with her mom part
"Then around 8 I think, Charon called me drunk and crying so I left to go see her but around 9 my step mom started throwing Tantrums so I left her place not before tugging her bed and making sure she was save" scarlet said
"So your alibi is your mom and Charon" the officer asked
"Yes and my manger Joshua" scarlet added
"How close are you with the victim" the officer asked
"We-we meet in high school..11th grade" scarlet answered
"Thank you scarlet.. your friends are in the cafeteria you can see them and I'll get back to you" the officer said
"And can you please hand in your phone" the officer asked but it was clearly not a question but command
"Sure" scarlet said then took out her phone and gave it to the officer
"They're here" scarlet sounded surprised the officer nodded, she took scarlet to the cafeteria and left
"Scarlet" Everlin called out she was already awake
"Hey" she called as she sat with them
"They brought you in for questioning?" Charon asked and she nodded
"How….are you" Sofia asked and scarlet immediately broke down and started crying soon Everlin joined so did Charon and then Sofia. While everyone was crying, Denna was having a chat with one of the cops..you can't call her evil, I mean you can't be remorseful for someone you don't know or close to right?!
"We are asking for Xavier" the police said to the butler through the gate speaker
"Sir, is not home" he replied in his cold and unamused voice
"Can you let me in..i'll like to talk to someone..a family" the officer said
"Okay" the butler replied after his reply came the gate started opening on its own
"Hello" an elegant looking and well dressed lady greeted descending the stairs
"Good morning" the officer greeted. the woman nodded before saying
"How may I help you"
"I'm looking for Xavier ma'am" the officer said
"Oh my son went on a business trip" the woman replied
"Where to?" The officer asked
"China" the woman replied
"And when will he be back" the woman asked
"I'm not quite sure I don't know he's Schedule" the woman answered
"Okay, can I know when he left then" the officer asked
"On the 8th, yesterday" the woman answered
"My bad, but can I know why he's needed..another reckless driving?" she asked
"No ma'am..nothing major just wanted to just ask some questions" the officer replied..what if she was backing his son, what if he tells him what it's about and he inform him and he goes into hiding..he just hopes he wouldn't tell her the police is here until they manage to track him to interrogate him..he might be innocent, he might be guilty they don't want to take chances.
"Thank you, I'll take my leave now" the officer said
"You welcome" the woman said with a nod and smile the officer returned it before leaving.
