Going Down Memory Lane

How Hard Can It Be?

Chapter 9

ADDISON'S P.O.V.

I'm going to the office again trying to find a way to get that girl to come in so I can talk to her. I know Marcus is a scary guy, just his looks say it but if I offer her protection than maybe I can get her to talk. That's not the problem right now, no just getting her into the office will be, I'll have to talk to my partner see if I can get him to bring her in. He knows how much Daniel means to me.

That's what I do first go over to my partners office who is already an official detective, Detective Keith Jackson. He's a tough guy very intimating when he wants to be. He has black really short hair, he has brown warm eyes, well that's how I've always seen them, he's well built and he's very tall. Keith is very well respected for such a young detective because of how good he is at his job and how serious he is about it. He's five years older than me so that makes him 24.

I walk into his office and he looks up from his computer and smiles. "Addison how's your first case doing?" He asks.

I return his smile with a small one  and shake my head, "Not so well, I was wondering if you can help me out to bring in someone for questioning."

Keith is silent, I know he's not supposed to help me yet but I really need his help to get this girl. He sighs and gets up from his office chair and walks past me to close the door. "You know I'm not supposed to help you." He comments. "But I would be lying if I said if I didn't get help for my first case because who am are we kidding every new detective gets help on their first case. So who is it?" Keith chuckles.

I smile brightly at him and say "Evelyn Montenegro. She's young, 16 and I think Marcus is threatening her."

Keith walks away from me and sets back down in his chair and starts typing on his computer and says "I know he's threatening her it's how Marcus works, that's all he knows. I've been trying to take him down for other things he's done but I've never had a chance, I think you will. I think you and Daniel can do it, just be careful." He looks at me seriously and I nod with another smile. "I'll get her, just be patient.  I'll call you when you can talk to her. Do some back ground research on Marcus and see what you can piece together." Keith bends over and digs through his file drawer then picks out a file and hands it over to me saying "This is my research on him, see if you can find something I missed."

"Thank you." I smile.

"That's what partners are for." He smiles back at me and I wave good bye and walk out of his office closing the door behind me.

DANIEL'S P.O.V.

Addison is at work again but this time I have something to do, look over my case file and Maria's file. Looking over the files I noticed how much is missing from the case. The guess most of the time, like what exactly is my motive? How do they think I got knocked out? Because I sure in heck didn't knock out myself. How would there get so much blood on me? If I killed Maria I would have some blood on me but I wouldn't have that much, only if I wanted to save her and loved her would have that much blood on me, and that's exactly what happened I cradled her and held her in my arms, I was trying to save her.

They didn't mention anything about the murder weapon, so they don't have it and if I was the murderer the weapon would still be there.

Me being the murderer doesn't make sense but yet they are so insistent on me being the killer. I don't get it yeah i was found with her blood on me and at the crime scene but it's my house and it's my sister so why wouldn't I be there, why wouldn't I try  and save her. But I guess I look suspicious because I didn't call the police, I was going to before I was so rudely knocked out.
