Justice for Julie

Chapter 6

                Chapter 6

                Ryan

                Joe

                Justin

                That was my list of suspects. Yes, I added Ryan back on. Jack and I studied the picture of the murderer that we printed out. It looked like the killer had small eyes and full lips, but it was hard to tell. My heart sank as I realized Ryan sported those features. It looked nothing like Justin so I marked him off the list and remembered a brunette with small eyes and full lips in my homeroom. His name was Tanner. I also thought of the possibility that it might have been a girl then realized that the killer was built and his featured made it pretty obvious it was a man, plus his hair was cut in a boy style. Then I decided to cross out Ryan's name again.

                 Joe

                Justin

                Tanner

                Jack had no idea who these people were, except Ryan which he figured out was my BF.

                My mom opened the door. "Your counselor would like to speak with you," she muttered then left.

                Mr. Wallburg walked into the room.

       "I know you're not really a counselor so why call yourself one?" I snapped.

                "It gives people a sense of calm," he explained. I snorted.

                He waved a hand at Jack. "BF?" he asked.

                "NO! My BF happens to be Ryan Evens, you know son of ROBERT EVENS owner of the Wells Fargo Bank," I said smugly. Then Mr. Wallburg's eyes darkened.

                                "We couldn't identify any prints or anything on the bullet casing but the hair is definitely from, I'm sorry, a Ryan Evens," He said.

                Jack and I exchanged glances.

"If I find out anything more I'll let you know," he said then left.

                Moaning, I thought it couldn't be possible, not my Ryan!

"Come on let's talk to people on your list, Ryan last," Jack murmured.

"PLEASE! I may steal and get in fights but I don't murder people! At least not for fun. HAHA," Joe said.

                "Where were you morning of July 16?" Asked Jack.

"The local skate park, go check the video cameras if you must," he replied.

                "We will," I snapped, and we did. Joe was at the skate park like he said and he just happened to be with Tanner so the only person left on the list was Ryan.

                We walked slowly towards Ryan's house, feeling the dread in the air. I paused in front of his door, getting ready to knock. Then Jack stepped in front of me and bluntly opened it himself. I knew were Ryan's room was. It was on the third story so we silently climbed the stairs and stood in front of his bedroom door. I heard giggling then I bluntly opened his door to see him sitting on his bed with Sammi, kissing.
