Chapter 17

Sex, Drugs, And Rock And Roll

The computers beeped softly as they turned on. I waited impatiently for mine to load, bouncing my leg as I did so. Next to me, Mason gave me a soft smile, then placed his hand on the thigh of my leg that was closest to him.

“That won’t make the computer go any faster,” he joked, pulling his hand away. I resisted the urge to groan as he moved his hand. I enjoyed his touch far too much, and that could only lead to trouble. He had already made it obvious that he wasn’t going to push for anything more than just friendship between us. Maybe it was for the best. We had more important things to worry about.

Focusing my attention back on the computer, I was excited to see that it was fully loaded. I used the mouse to click on the Internet icon, and thankfully I didn’t have to wait long for the Google page to come up on the screen. I had come up with the idea of doing research on the drugs that were found in Sophie’s system. Mason and I needed to have as much information as possible on Sophie’s death before we proceeded any further with trying to figure out who killed her. Hopefully something in the way that she died would lead us to her killer, who hopefully wasn’t either of our parents.

The toxicology reports stated that Sophie had unusually high levels of oxycodone and triazolam in her blood system, which had led the police to believe that she had committed suicide by overdosing on them. Just to be sure that those were the only drugs found, the first thing I did was search for the interview that had been released with the chief of police who had announced Sophie’s cause of death to the public. Then I opened up another page so I could research one of the drugs. Next to me, Mason was doing the same thing. We had agreed to each search one of the drugs and find out as much as we could about them. The main thing we wanted to know was who had access to them. From there we could narrow down who to look into.

For the time being we had decided to eliminate our parents as suspects. It was just easier for the both of us that way, especially since neither of us wanted to think that one of our parents was capable of committing murder. The thought alone was horrifying. If we found something that led us back to one of our parents then we would have to look at the possibility of them being the murderer, but for now we were going to go over and exhaust every other possible suspect.

I reopened the page to the interview with the chief of police and skimmed through the article to be sure we hadn’t missed anything. Nothing stood out, other than the two medications that were found in her system. I glanced at Mason to find that he was doing the same thing I was.
