Marlon had a huge grin on his face when he pulled up outside their suspect's house. "Maybe don't look so happy when going into question a teenager", Earl said. Marlon laughed and he exited the car. Earl sighed and followed Marlon to the front door. Marlon gave the white front door a knock and waited for someone to answer. Low and behold the person that answered was Jerome. "Hello", Earl said, "Are you, Jerome Waters?". Jerome slowly nodded, his heart was beating out of his chest. "I'm detective Earl Walsh and this is Marlon Roco. We are investigating the burning of Earl Cahill church". "What do you want from me?", Jerome asked, his tone shaky. "Just to talk", Marlon said, "Is there anyone that can come down to the station with you?". Jerome thought for a moment, "My uncle", he said, "I'll go and get him up". Marlon and Earl entered the property as the teen went to wake his uncle. "Slow and steady wins the race", Marlon said as they saw Jerome come back with his shoes on. "What shit have you gotten into now?", Jerome's uncle, Tim asked, rubbing his eyes. "We just have some questions for your nephew", Earl said. Jerome and Tim entered the car and were whisked away to the police station. The two detectives were finally making real progress.
