Present time
"Okay. So we have John Fredrickson (his son) with his wife, Anne Fredrickson and their children Drake(10 years old) and Annabeth(19 years old). We have his cousin Mrs.Julia who is also a billionaire, and the most importantly, his wife Mrs Frederickson." Jake said with determination to gather useful information.
"Why am I here exactly? Do you know who I am!? I can own you!" The annoying billionaire screamed.
"Calm down, you are all here as witnesses. None of you are suspects yet..." I started second guessing everyone.
"What happened?" Asked Drake, the old man's grandchild. "On the 18th of February someone broke into the mansion and killed Mr. Fredrickson. According to my research on you guys are the only ones realated to him and live nearby. Do any of you have any information about him that can help us locate the killer?"Jake said confidently.
"All of this for the death of one old man who was already one foot into the grave? Waste of time." Said the billionaire sounding really annoyed.
"Ever heard of justice?" I said. She was starting to get on my nerves.
Then I turned my head to Mrs. Fredrickson. "Mrs. Frederickson, did you get any visual on the murdurer?" I asked the old lady.
"Well... You see, I was in the kitchen getting dinner ready when I heard the window break in the in the living room.
So I went to take a look, b-but he was already s-stabbed." She said between tears. "Although, I did see her hair and body shape, she looked a little like you."She pointed at me.
"Jake, write all that down." I commanded.
"Yes mam!" He shouted.
I looked back at the witnesses "Do any of you have any other information that will be useful?" I asked just in case.
The little boy raised his hand. "Yes?" I said kindly (only because he is a little kid).
"My sister fights people!" The kid said pointing at his sister. The young girl looked down at the boy angrily. "Yes, we have told her there are better things to do in life but it seems to be the way she wants to spend her life." Her mom looked like she was trying so hard not to sound angry. "You mean she wants to WASTE her life as a damn gang leader!"
The dad shouted.
"Gang leader? Jake, take note of that as well. We needed to know every single detail." The answer could come out of anywhere.
"Way ahead of you!" He shouted. I turned my head to the rest. "You all are excused." I walked out of the room with Jake behind me.
