Chapter 14: Police Chatting

It was Ethan's idea to visit Detective Dixon at the Palos Police Station. I wished I had some advance notice. I would have bought the Detective a reusable coffee mug. It was on my list. The Styrofoam cup thing he had going on was seriously bothering me. I didn't have too much time to think about it, though, because surprise, surprise we were ushered into his office way more quickly than that last time.

"What are you two doing here?" Detective Dixon asked gruffly.

I noticed that the Styrofoam cups in his office seemed to have multiplied. I really shouldn't have procrastinated on buying that travel mug. Actually, Detective Dixon's office really would have benefited from a cleaning service too, and of course, a recycling bin.

"We're here to talk about the murders of Madison Brown and Julia Morgan," I said.

Detective Dixon sighed, "Look, Kait and Ethan, like I've said before, leave this to the police. Enjoy high school."

"How can we? People are being murdered. And, we helped you last time," I said, already regretting and second guessing Ethan's instinct at coming to the police station.

"We have some good information," Ethan said. "Maybe we could do a trade."

Detective Dixon's frown turned into a smirk, "The police don't work like that."

"We do have some leads," I said.

Detective Dixon looked at me, "Are you trying to end up in the hospital again?"

"No," I said. "Of course not."

"Are you sure? Do I need to put you on suicide watch?" Detective Dixon asked.

He was being sarcastic. I frowned at him, "No. "I'm just trying to find out what really happened to Madison and Julia."

Detective Dixon sighed, "Fine. What do you guys have?"

We told him our list of suspects and the reasons behind them from Noah Robertson to Sebastian Zane to Seth Wilcox to Jenny Kendall to Ray Newton. I secretly wondered how many more suspects might be in the woodwork.

"Oh, and Ariel Walker, despite having been in the bathroom with Madison right before she died, didn't do it," I said finally. "She told me all about it and I believe her."

I had to make that clear to the detective. I was pretty positive that Ariel had nothing to do with the murders of Madison and Julia. Well, ninety-nine percent sure and that was pretty sure. Plus, I didn't want the police spending time suspecting Ariel, when she might turn out to be the next victim.

"We talked to Ariel," Detective Dixon said, but didn't say anything else.

A kernel of fear popped up in my stomach. Was Ariel a suspect then? Why didn't Detective Dixon say anything else? She couldn't be. Seriously, what if Ariel was the one in danger?

"Detective," I added, "Just a note, I mean, so you know - Ariel is the new Pep Club president. I mean, just in case she's in danger and all. And, like I said, she's not a murderer."

The Detective nodded. I didn't know if he'd help Ariel at all, but at least I had mentioned my fears to him.
