Trapped Underneath a Secret

24- Learning The Secret

I got to my desk and opened the file. I was FINALLY listening to the audio tapes as I read the file and then the phone call with Brody....
      "Yeah I need Clara gone! I mean that's why I called you pumpkin!" "What do you want me to do with her." "I don't care she ruined my relationship with Brian and put me in here!" "Do you want me to kill her?" "No..... torture her the same way you did to Carly. Make her your trophy!" "Why about us?" .............. "Babe what about us!" "Brody we'll leave the country. Maybe we can finally have new lives and you can quit being a hitman and be a doctor again... sexy Dr. Harold." I heard chuckling, "Let's not talk about that now. Maybe later haha." "Now go to the hospital and call Clara with her number and say that Brian has breathing problems. She'll believe you and come." "You sure?" "Yes I'm sure! God knows how many chicks I've had murdered because of something like this. A guy threatened once that he would blow the whistle in our affair. I had him killed. I wanted Carl dead... but I knew I would be number one suspect. Brody I do love you I promise that." "How many people have you killed?" "My father trained me at a young age how to kill and dispose of the body. He trained me since I was like nine. My first murder was a little boy. I just rammed the gas petal and ran over him. OH IT FELT AMAZING! The adrenaline rush! I wanted to do it again!"
      I stopped the tape. Isabelle and I are only a year apart! I played it again to see if there was anything to it.
"Who was it baby? Tell me all about my queens first kill!" "It was this stupid little boy. Daddy was in the passenger side. It was in our white 86' Cadillac. Daddy bought it the day I was born. The boy had brown hair, about six years old, he had a scar on his forehead. When I ran him over his sister ran out to him and cried like a baby, she kept screaming Dave! It was GLORIOUS!"
I stopped the tape and I couldn't breath! She killed Dave! All these years and I lived by a serial murder! I needed to know why. I told the jail that I needed her for an interrogation, so they put her in a room so I could talk to her. I went in interrogation room #3 and went in. I saw Isabelle and her face was emotionless. I sat down and said, "Ms. McNeal there is a Brody Daniel saying you hired him to kill Carly Whitney." "That didn't happen. Look I'm sorry. Can I please go home now. And what happened to you?" "Things happened. Well I have you on tape confessing to A LOT! And I just wanted to ask why?" "Because you got in my way. See I know you listened to enough to know that I get rid of people who bother me!" She said that in the most creepiest way possible with a evil smile. It scared me but I didn't let her know.
      I got up and left. I went to Chief, "I have her. I have Isabelle telling Brody to torture Carly and I." "WOAH! Wait what? It was in the tapes?" "Yes. And she killed Dave." "Wait Clara hold on! She killed him. How?" "Her dad taught her to kill. Chief she's a serial killer!!" I sat down in his office at one of the chairs, "Alex when I came into this job I felt I HAD to solve his murder. But with the meetings with Dr. Blue. I found that it wasn't my job. My job was to find justice and if I find his killer, I brought someone else justice except for me too. And I have found his killer."
       He looked at me with compassion and observant looks. "Clara. This is all on the tapes of her saying that?" "Yes she described him with a scar on his forehead and he did, them she said that the little girl kept screaming David and I did Chief." He looked at me and sighed, "I'm sorry Clara. She'll get what she deserves I promise. But please tread with caution because one wrong move and the defense will say your invested to emotionally. I'll have an officer arrest her for murder, conspiracy in kidnapping, ordering a hit, and stalking. We now need to find the bodies she murdered." He smiled at me, "Clara you are one incredible kid! I am proud of you!"
