Between the smell of fire and male testosterone surrounding me, the circle I’m standing in near Cruz’s truck alongside the firefighters and officers feels like a campfire meeting with Boy Scouts. I stand next to Dylan as he opens a small diary and starts reading it out loud.

“I wanted to say goodbye. I think it’s best I end it this way. This will be the end of my career and I can’t imagine life not being an officer. I’m sorry,” reads Dylan, closing the diary.

“He had to be involved in Laura’s assault,” I say.

“I think you’re wrong,” says Dylan.

“Then why would he go to this extreme?” I ask.

“Being involved with Laura in prostitution would have damaged his career. It’s understandable why he ended things. It would be humiliating,” says Dylan.

“I think Cruz had more to hide than just a relationship with Laura,” I say.

“What are you saying, Ms. Ruiz?” asks Ford.

“I’m saying that he’s still a potential suspect who hasn’t been ruled out in the motel assault. Can we make sure his blood is taken during the autopsy? I’d like to compare his DNA to the DNA found on the belt and inside Laura,” I say.

“It was Clown’s DNA inside Laura,” says Dylan.

“Yeah, as the minor donor. There’s a major donor still out there. I’m curious to see whether it’s Cruz. There was also an unknown profile found on the belt. I’d like to see if he matches that,” I say.

“He wouldn’t be the match on the belt,” says Dylan.

“How do you know that?” I say.

“Because that is an X-profile. It belongs to a woman,” says Dylan.

“Clown is our guy and all of us standing here, including Dylan and the Leafwood Police Department, are in agreement that he’s our guy. This agency is not going to spend resources looking at anyone else, including Officer Cruz. It’s ridiculous that he would have killed this girl. Of course if you’d like, we can take a look at who that X-profile belongs to. I hear you may have been one of the last people to see Laura alive,” says Ford threateningly.

It didn’t take long for the brass to throw up a stone wall around me, especially because Officer Cruz was at the heart of the investigation now.
