Chapter Fourteen: The Questioning. Well, Kind Of.

"What? No way! Robert would never do anything like that!" Coby said in disbelief.

"It's true. You have to believe me. You have too!" Emma June replied with a small smile.

"How can I trust you? I barely know anything about this secret organization thing. There's no way that Robert killed my wife. Kaitlin and Robert were good friends. He would have no reason to kill her." Coby replied.

"Oh yes he did. If you want to hear the truth, let me in. But, if you want, I can leave. I can delete your number, and we can forget that we ever even met." Emma said starting to sound sad.

"Umm,"

"So long." Emma said before he could finish. She thought she knew what he was going to say.

"No! Wait! Please!" Coby said. He wanted to hear more.

"Really? You really want to hear more of what I have to say?" Emma asked in surprise.

"Yes, come in." Coby said as he motioned into his house.

Emma walked into his house once again and sat down on a chair in his living room.

"So, I guess that for you to trust me, I have to tell you everything about me. Are you ready?" Emma asked.

"Uh, I guess so. Yeah."

"Okay, I was born on August 6, 1995. No, I was not born in June. My parents are Bill and Becky June. I have one older brother. He is two years older than me. I went to Elmore Elementary, Middle, and High School. Every year of my schooling, I always had great grades so I was always on honor roll. In middle school, I joined the school choir and the band, but I hated it the first year, so I quit it. I was more interested in being a detective more than I singer or band member. For that reason, when I graduated, I decided to go to college for four years to become a detective. In fact, that's where I am right now. I am going to school right now to become a detective. I graduate  college in one more year. One year ago, I joined the H-E-A-L-T-H secret organization. I already told you as much as I know about the organization. That's it." Emma said taking a breath after she said all of that.

   "Wow, that was...interesting." Coby said.

   "Do you want to know anything else?" Emma asked him.

   "Yes. I want to know how we can get Robert into my house tonight so that I can question him." Coby said with a smile.

   "So you do trust me?"

   "Yes, yes I do. And even if you do stab me in the back some day, I will be darn proud of you. Because, if you are a spy or something, you sure are doin' a darn good job of spying." Coby said with a small chuckle.

   "Oh Coby, I'm not a spy. Even if I was, I wouldn't spy on you. I would be on your side. You know why?" Emma asked with a smile.

   "I think I have a guess."

   "What's your guess?"

   "Because we are friends?" Coby asked.

   "Yes. Because we are friends. And you can trust your true friends. But you can't trust Robert." Emma said.

   Coby was a mix of emotions at that moment. He was glad that he knew that Emma and him were friends. But, he also felt betrayed. He didn't know for sure that Robert had actually killed his wife or not, but there was a small place in his heart the believed Robert did kill Kaitlin.

   After a long conversation about the plan about how to lure Robert into Coby's house.

   "Alright, tonight I will invite Robert over to my house for dinner. Then, while he is over here, you will hide in any room you want. Then, after we finish our dinner, we'll go into the living room and start talking. Then, I'll bring up the subject. That's when you come in. You will do most of the questioning. If you want."
