Riley Matthews
I stood on the other side of the one way mirror. I could here what Cheif was saying and the man's response.
3rd persons pov
"Mr. Altori. You have a record. You were arrested three times for drug possession. And dealing drugs. You were in prison from '00 to '06 correct."
The man hesitantly nodded.
"You were at Kings bank on 8-18-10 between the times of 2 and 5 pm correct?"
"Yes. Enough with the questions can I tell my story."
The man asked. Cheif nodded.
"I was on so many different things that day. And I needed more. I knew my dealer was at the bank. I brought my gun and I followed him inside. I locked the door. And I threatened that if anyone tried to leave I would shoot them. I collected there phones. The man. The one I killed. He was the smart one. He thought he could help everyone. I went behind the counter to try and find cash. He slowly and silently got up and tried to get the kids out. I looked up. And gave him a chance to go back to where he was in exchange for all the money in his bank account. He refused. The kids ran out the door and I shot him. 5 times. I drugged everyone else so they wouldn't remember anything. I then changed everything. I moved to Paris. Changed my name. Got clean. Got a good job.  I'm coming clean. Lock me away. Kill me. I'm a horrible person."
He put his head down on the table. Cheif pressed a buzzer. The door opened and in walked Riley. He sat up. Her cheeks were stained with tears. Eyes puffy. But she remained strong. She refused to break down in front of this man. She sat down.

Here I am. Sitting in front of my father's killer. I can get him justice.
I cleared my throat.
"Do you know who I am?"
He scanned me up and down. He shook his head.
"I am Riley Matthews. Daughter of Cory Matthews. The man you killed. Do you know how much pain you brought onto an innocent 10 year old girl. An innocent family. My parents never did bad to anyone. My father was a doctor. My mother is a lawyer. He always did everything he could to help people. And that's how he died. He died saving children's lives from a drugged up psycho murderer. I knew one day he would be put at peace. And I'm glad I was here to see it. I hope you rot in your prison cell you dirty cold blooded psycho."
I started yelling towards the end. I stormed out of the room. Farkle was standing against the wall outside the door. I ran into his arms. He tightly wrapped his arms around my waist. I put my face in his chest. I cried hysterically for 10 minutes. He never loosened his grip. I heard the door open. Cheif walked out with the man in cuffs. I angrily smiled. He gets what he deserves.
Daddy. I promised you that you would be put at peace. I never break a promise. He's going to rot in hell for what he did to you.
