Sometimes Friendship Dies

Chapter 5

Hailee P.O.V

We got back to Nova's apartment and Olivia took a shower and got changes while the rest of us started looking up Jorge Garcia.

"It says here, Jorge right now is 16. He was accused by a group of ten girls that when he was out with friends he walked up to all ten of them, tied them down and started to go to town. He would have been 15. His birthday was last month. He was in jail for about a week before Adams realized the truth and gave him a second chance and cleared Jorge's names." Jakob said.

"What happened to the girls?" Nico asked.

"Nothing. The girls claimed that they were drunk when they walked into the station. And they got confused with names and that Seth Squires, 24 is the one who sexually assualted them." Jakob said looking at an article online.

"Doesn't matter. Jorge ended his life a few days after he got released. Apparently kids at his school kept name calling and bullying him. He couldn't handle it anymore." Nova said looking at a different article Phoenix had to close out of because of the look on Nova's face.

"So Jorge can't be our guy." Phoenix said rubbing her back.

"So, Jakob, what do you have on Seth?" I asked trying to change the subject.

"He's 24 and studying to be a doctor at Harvard. He was in New York for the summer and was hanging out with some friends when the police arrested him. The same group of ten girls. Same claims they did for Jorge." He said.

"According to this, his alibi was even solid. He wasn't even in New York when they are claiming they were sexually assualted. Yet, the girls still claimed that he was the one so the police held him for two months until Adams realized his alibi was solid and let him go. Gave him a second chance at life." Nova said reading papers off the floor.

"So he might be our guy."

"Except, he lives in California now. A respected doctor I might add." Nico said looking at Seth's Facebook.

"So Steve is our last suspect. But he couldn't have..." I started.

"Hold that. I was wrong. He lived in California. He moved back, two weeks ago. A few days before the killing started. Nico said jumping over the couch. Nova nodded.

"And according to this article he wrote in Accused Monthly. Apparently there's a magazine that people who have been wrongly accused write down their stories. Anyway, according to this, it says that Seth still holds a grudge to that group of girls. And all females in general." Nova said standing up and stretching when the elevator opened and Adams walked in.

"You're fucking with me right now." I said.

"I just want to talk."

"Out of my apartment." Nova said.

"Guys..."

"Out. We don't want you here." Jakob said.

"5 minutes. That's all I'm asking." Adams said standing right were he was.

"Go."

"Natalie and I broke up two years ago. It was illegal and dumb. But she has issues and thinks we're still dating."

"So that's why you two were sucking each other's faces off this morning. And outside the warehouse for 15 minutes." Nico said with attitude. We nodded.

"I was just...."

"Breaking up with her?" Nico asked. "Didn't look like that to me."

"Where's Olivia? Let me talk to her." Adams started to walk upstairs.
