Compromise

Heather and Amy had been surprised by his arrival, but they didn’t back down from their actions.

“Miranda Duncan was upset about being cooped up in her room, and we had to calm her down,” Heather explained. “But it’s a good thing we talked to her. She told us how two of the boys in the group liked Kasey. One pushed the other that night. Perhaps it escalated even further when the others were asleep.”

Colton Connors mused on this. “I suppose we’ll have to ask them about this. And I can see that you are itching to help more on this case. Perhaps we can reach a compromise.”

“What do you mean?” asked Amy.

“Perhaps we can do some questioning that you can be a part of,” he said. “These rooms are not conducive to it as I predicted. They are small in size and have limited seating. However, perhaps the detectives have a larger area that is appropriate for questioning.”

“They do have an interrogation room at the police station,” Amy said, wryly.

“I will ask Detective Peters if he can find someone else to watch the hallway. When we finish our current questioning, we can move to another location. And perhaps we should next question those two young men you heard about.”

They all agreed. Colton Connors returned to his room. Heather and Amy were soon relieved of hallway watch duty.

However, the interview with Maria Wexler did go very long. In the time it took the detectives and Colton Connors to complete their interview, Heather and Amy had already checked in with Donut Delights to make sure that they were still stocked full of baked goods and had squeezed in a few games of hide-and-seek at home with Lilly and Nicholas.

When they were finally told to meet the other investigators at the station, they hurried over with some fresh donuts. Ryan and Peters took them gladly. They looked very tired.

“How did you interview with Maria Wexler go?” Heather asked.

“It was very thorough,” Peters said.

“I’ll update you on it later,” Ryan said, quickly. “I wouldn’t want to take any time away from our next interrogation.”

“Very well,” Colton Connors said. “I could update you on our meeting with her as well if you would like. But now we should press on to our next meeting. We have brought Calvin Green into the interrogation room, and so we can begin questioning him.”

Heather was feeling more optimistic about this interrogation until it became clear that she wasn’t invited inside the room. Heather and Amy glowered on the opposite side of the two-way mirror as the other investigators entered the interrogation room and sat down across from Calvin Green. He was a tall man with a clean-cut face.

“How is this a compromise?” Amy asked.

“It’s not really,” said Heather. “Especially after we found out that Tom and Calvin were both suitors for Kasey and might have fought over her. But I suppose watching the interrogation is more exciting than watching an empty hallway.”

“We really are moving up in the world,” Amy joked.
