At least, there hasn’t been until now.

I remind myself of some important facts. Fact one: I am old enough to be tried as an adult in any jurisdiction in North America. Fact two: homicide is as serious as it gets. Fact three: some states have the death penalty, and I’m not at all sure that Michigan isn’t one of them.

Carver leans back in his chair. “Why don’t you tell me exactly what happened tonight, Rennie?”

Finally, I have a chance to lay it out so that it makes sense.

I start by telling him that I had supper at Eric’s house, but that it had nothing to do with Eric, that it was his grandfather who invited me. I say that I know the grandfather because I was hoping he could help me with some information I need. I don’t go into what that information was. It isn’t important to what happened, and I have a feeling it will only annoy Carver if he thinks I’m digressing. If he wants to know more about anything, he’ll ask. I go straight to the part where I’m helping Eric and Duane with the fridge. I tell it all exactly how it happened. I don’t leave out a single thing, and every word is the truth, which makes me feel more confident because if Carver questions me about any of it, he’ll get the same answer every time. I won’t be one of those idiots who tells a lie and then gets tripped up on it. I’ve done a lot of stupid stuff in my life, but this isn’t going to be one of those times. This time I do it straight up. When I finish, the room is silent.
