Ooo000ooo

“Yeah, Teddy, what do you got?”

I had called the sheriff about an hour before and was surprised he called me back already.

“So, I spoke with the sheriff handling the case, and based on all the evidence, I can say that without a doubt, this one looks to be a suicide.”

“No sign of any foul play?”

“No foul play, no. In fact, cameras caught her buying the rope at the local home improvement store about an hour before she likely killed herself. She was alone at the time it happened, that was verified. However, there is something worth noting here.”

“Oh yeah?” I asked.

“Yeah, so the victim’s body had a few bruises, mostly on her face. Nothing that would have happened during the actual suicide.”

The blood in my veins ran cold. That bastard… He hurt more than just Charlotte, and I knew it in my heart that Peter was the one behind that.

“You’re absolutely certain it wasn’t a homicide?”

“Well, no, I can’t be 100%. I’m not on the case or anything, but based on what the sheriff told me, I believe him. There is enough proof that she planned this out and executed it herself.”

“What kind of proof?”

“I can’t give you details in an ongoing case, Eli.”

“So there is a case? They’re investigating this?”

“They’re looking for the person who hurt her, yes. Not because they believe that person murdered her, but they would like to ask them some questions.”

“What if I told you I knew who hurt her.”

“And do you have proof?”

Dammit. “Not really, but he’s hurt someone else in a very similar fashion.”

“Would this person be willing to talk to the cops, to press charges?”

“I don’t know.”

“Well, unless they’re willing to come forward and offer up some proof, I’m not sure there’s much the cops can do. They can’t bring someone in without a reason.”

I sighed and leaned back in my chair. I knew he was right. Charlotte would have to talk to the cops. At least then, they might have reason to suspect Peter and look into the matter. Who knows what they might find out once they dug beneath the surface?

But since Charlotte’s face was already mostly healed up, it would really come down to her word against his, and the idea of putting Charlotte into Peter’s warpath didn’t sit well with me.

Then again, it wasn’t my choice.

I knew Charlotte wanted to get to the bottom of this, for Jenny’s sake, and that was her decision to make.
