Dear Jessie

Chapter 3-Interrogations

June 22, 2011

Dear Jessie,

It's been a week and there hasn't been another sign of you. I had to go talk to the police today and it was so scary. I was in this little room and they were asking all kinds of questions. They wanted my alabi for the day you went missing! I was so apalled at them; as if I would hurt you!

"Where you you the morning of Tuesday, June 15, 2011?" They asked. So I told them the answer; I was at my ballet class.

"Did you see Jessie that morning?" Officer Peters asked me. He was leaning over the table, staring at me. He's the cop on the case that freaks me out the most. I hate being around him.

I hadn't seen you since Monday afternoon, and I told him that. The next thing they asked, was if I knew of anyone who would want to hurt you in any way. I told them, "Jessie is the sweetest, kindest person I know. Everyone in this town loves her; she does so much for everyone, it's hard not to. Besides Jessica Newlon, she doesn't have anyone out to get her, and Jessica doesn't have it in her to hurt Jessie."

They were very interested in Jessica, and why she didn't like you. They asked if she hated you enough to hurt you. I told them again, that she wasn't capable of hurting you. I explained to them that this was a small town full of good people. No one here would be able to hurt you in any way.

Please be okay.

Love,

Kristen

Dear Jessie,

Today the police told us not to expect you to come home. The chances of you still being alive are slim to none apparently. I refuse to believe it; I still have hope that you are okay. I have hope that you are going to come home. They can't keep you forever.

You should be here, getting ready to go off to Yale, where you belong. School is starting again soon, and I'm dreading it. Please come back soon.

Love,

Kristen.
