Desires and Secrets

Chapter 53

Emily POV... Jordan and I interviewed the Essex's first... I could tell, right away Ms Essex was angry.... and her anger wasn't just about her daughter... There was a rage she couldn't quite hide.. Her husband seemed more submissive, weak even... Why are we here again Ms Essex asked in that superior voice? Usually we started of easy with our interviews, but I didn't like her attitude so I jumped right in... Were you two on the swim team, back in high school I asked? Why is that important Ms Essex asked? It's important bc we believe your daughter murder may be connected with your high school years.. How she asked? Do either of you know a Delesha Dolley? Silence and more silence.. Mr Essex do you know Delesha Dolley, Jordan asked? Yes she was on our swim team... So you are aware of what happened to her Jordan continued? Yes was all he said.. I kept my eyes on Ms Essex and I noticed her hands twisting and then untwisting.. Look I said getting straight to the point, did you two have anything to do with her attack ?  What, Ms Essex yelled, how dare you insinuate such a thing, are you insane? With all do respect ma'am, your daughter is dead... Her death was cruel and unnecessary don't you want her killer put behind bars I asked? Yes I do she snapped but what does our high school year and been in the swim team helpful? I noticed she didn't mention Ms Dolley.. It has everything to do with it,Ms Dolley was attacked the same way your daughter was.. She was on the swim team with all of the parents whom daughters is dead.. She was their swim coach, come on Ms Essex,I know you see the obvious, yet you beat around the bush and don't answer our questions, you are obviously hiding something.. I'm not she said looking down.. For Gods sake LaKisha ,our StarKeisha is gone..
