It was a windy saturday morning, I sat at my backyard having a cup of tea.
I sat there looking at the sky feeling really worried I was left alone in my thought wondering when all this was going to be over.
I tried figuring out the missing puzzle to the case, I kept wondering how Brenda's phone could have ever been in my house, she never came visiting.
The backyard door leading into the house opens wide my mom had approached me looking really anxious.
"the Cops are looking for you" she quivered panting heavily
"why?" I said relaxed
"they said you might be in trouble"
"okay I'm coming" I said dropping my cup of tea on the floor as I walked into the house with a furious look on my face
I had arrived at the living room where I met detective robles and two police officers.
"what are you guys doing at my house?" i grunted at them
"so we're not aloud to visit anymore" detective Robles replied
"No that's not what I mean, what I meant is what are you doing here"
"okay I'll let you know, we're taking you to the police station, we're going to make you tell us what you know pertaining Joel's death. We know you and Brenda are in this together"
"what?" I mumbled in confusion
"whatever you have to say, say it in the police station"
The police put a handcuff on my hands taking me out of the house
"what???? Let my daughter go" my mom yelled out as she followed us out of the house.

After a while, we had arrived at the police station and I was taking in for questioning.
"Miss I know you're smart, but you can't escape this, no matter how much you try"
"wait, you actually think i'm involved in this, if I really was involved then why have I been helping you guys, if that's the case why did I hand over my phone which you used in tracing her IP address? "
"because you thought you were smart, I have something to show you"
The police officer standing next to him hands over an hand glove to him, which he immediately puts on, then Brenda's cellphone was also handed over.
He shows me a text between Brenda and i

After going through the whole chat I was flabbergasted at what my eyes had seen
" what???, this isn't real, you can check my phone "
"well you might have deleted it, just confess"
"I can't confess what I didn't do, you have to believe me"
"gosh you're unbelievable" he yells out in frustration
"just confess, are you scared?, did she threaten you? "
"NO!!, am I under arrest"
"No you're not, for now, see I know you're scared, just tell us where she is at, do what's right"
"well I'm doing what is right, this is all a set up, I've not spoken to Brenda in months, you have to believe me"
"Really?? "
"you're only wasting your time with me. I don't even understand anything anymore. Okay why don't you go and check her parents house maybe she's there"
"how am I not sure this isn't one of your traps"
"see I'm not sure, okay fine, if she was ever at my house, isn't it possible that she was around my house but I never saw her "
"what about the messages"
"see I don't, I'm so confused right now "
detective robles looks into my eyes he looked really upset, he storms out of the room in frustration.
I bent my head resting on the desk as I waited for them to let me go.
Few minutes later detective robles entered into the office holding a cup of coffee. he looked a bit relaxed than earlier on, he puts on a friendly smile as he stares at me waiting for me to say something.
"There's something I want to let you know"
Detective rushes his arm to his right pocket bringing out a recorder which he places on the desk
"what's that" he said calmly
"Hmmmm... Nothing "
"talk!!! " he yells out
"it's nothing!! " I yell out back
" I can see you know something but you don't want to talk, I know what to do"
Detective Robles kept insisting I knew something, the questioning continued for hours, it almost got to the point were I felt tortured, we both sat there for close to two hours but I had nothing to tell.
