Chapter Nine

Darcy continued to watch through the one way glass as Jon questioned Lily.

“Have you ever lived anywhere else Lily?” Jon asked. “Do you know anything about Kyle Young?” Lily started to cry. “Do you enjoy poetry?” Jon kept throwing the questions at her, getting nothing but more crying for his efforts.

“I have no idea what you’re talking about,” Lily managed to say in between sobs. Darcy could see that Jon wasn’t going to get anywhere. Not this way. Without waiting for permission she entered the room where Jon was interrogating Lily.

“What are you doing Darcy?” Jon asked. “You can’t be in here.” She ignored him and sat down next to Lily, taking hold of her hands. She had decided, watching all this, that she would try to use her sixth sense to get some answers. Darcy closed her eyes and concentrated. But nothing happened. She didn’t feel anything. She let go of Lily’s hands, stood up and left the room with Jon following her.

“What was that all about?” he demanded.

Darcy looked back into the room through the one way glass at the still crying Lily. “It seems like Lily is probably innocent. You’re not getting anything from her so I just wanted to try it my way.”

He waited before asking, “And?”

She shrugged. “Nothing. I didn’t sense anything at all.”

Jon shook his head. “All right. But I want to hold her for a bit longer anyway…” He was interrupted by a commotion in the outer office. Darcy could hear a man yelling. They went to see what was going on and found Wilson Barton, the night shift officer, trying to calm down an irate guy in a gray hoodie and blue jeans.

It was Lily’s brother Robbie. “You let Lily out right now!” He was demanding at the top of his voice. Jon went over to him and put a restraining hand on his shoulder but Robbie shook him off. “I want to see my sister right now! You have no right to hold her, she hasn’t done anything wrong.”

“Look, Robbie, is it?” Jon started to say. “You need to calm down. Your sister is being questioned and I know that you...” He was interrupted once again, this time by his cell phone ringing. He took it out and Darcy expected him to ignore it after looking at the caller display. Instead, he immediately thumbed the screen to connect the call. “Grace?”

Grace? Darcy stiffened as she heard her sister’s name. While Officer Barton finally managed to escort the still upset Robbie out of the office, Jon finished his call and then turned to her.

“Darcy…I’ve got bad news. That was Aaron. Grace has been attacked.”

Jon took them straight to Grace’s apartment building. She was his partner, after all, and Lily wasn’t going anywhere. Darcy was grateful for his company.

When they got there, Darcy pounded on the front door. “Darcy,” Jon said, holding her fist in his hands, “it’s all right. She said she was all right.”

“It is not alright! Every time I
