CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

"O KAY..." SAID A DETECTIVE AS HE WALKED INTO THE INTERROGATION ROOM. "Why don't you tell me what happened?”

"I don't know,” I said.

"We've got you for kidnapping,” he said. "Unless by some miracle Johnathon Hall decides not to press charges. But from the look of him I doubt he got in that car with you voluntarily."

"I'm being set up,” I said.

"So, someone else put him in that car with you and forced you to go speeding down the road?" he asked.

"No," I said. "That’s not what I'm talking about. I mean the whole thing, I'm being set up for all of it. I had nothing to do with that body."

"Then why did you run?" he asked. "Normally, if someone finds a body they call the police. You ran from the police then skipped town."

"I told you. I am being framed for this,” I said. "We both are."

"I assume you're talking about your little brother?" he said. "I heard about him. The Miami-Dade PD told me they've got some good evidence on him. Eyewitnesses, DNA... the whole package."

"My brother is innocent,” I said. "And so am I."

"Alright, son," he said, lowering his voice. "Tell me why someone would try and frame you? You're a nobody."

"That’s the thing,” I said. "I have no idea. None of this makes any sense."

"It sure doesn't..." he said.

"Listen," I felt my cheeks redden. "You gotta believe me. I didn't do this."

"I have to follow the evidence,” he said. "And the evidence is telling me you're guilty."

"Why would I want to kill a person I've never met?" I asked. "I have no idea who that woman was or how she ended up in my house."

"That woman was Miranda Morris, the estate agent you met with the day before she turned up dead in your house,” he said.

"Wait... What?" I said. "Miranda Morris was killed on the beach in Miami... right?"

"No," he said, looking almost as confused as me. "Miranda Morris was found dead on the floor of the house you had inherited after your parents were declared dead."

"Then what about Micah?" I asked.

"From what I can gather," he said. "The woman your brother is being held for murdering is still listed as Jane Doe."

I was so confused. I had met with Miranda Morris myself. I had stayed late at the Miami police station to ID her. The woman I found dead in the kitchen was most certainly not Miranda Morris. They looked nothing alike and besides, according to the Miami PD my brother was responsible for her death. "I think you've got it backwards,” I said. "Miranda Morris was found dead on Miami Beach."

"No," he answered. "Miranda Morris is here, in the Anna Maria Island morgue."

"That doesn’t make any sense,” I said.

"I don't know what kind of game you’re trying to play here, son,” he said. "But you need to make this easy on yourself and start coming off of some information. You need to be honest. For your own sake just tell me what actually happened in that house and tell me why you were here today kidnapping the mayor's son.
