— I don’t think so.<br />
— What are you so busy with?<br />
— Work and... this stuff. – the man answer<strong>ed</strong>.<br />
Jake knew he didn’t have enough information, but he decid<strong>ed</strong> to stop anyway. If<br />
he kept pressuring the man, Brad would probably not say anything. The<br />
detective decid<strong>ed</strong> to interview Peter and talk to the other suspect later.<br />
— Ok, that’s enough. Can I talk to Peter now?<br />
— Sure. Left room upstairs.<br />
Jake walk<strong>ed</strong> to the other floor paying attention to everything.<br />
When he was near Peter’s door, he heard a conversation that was coming from<br />
it.<br />
— Man, I don’t want to talk about what happen<strong>ed</strong> the night she<br />
di<strong>ed</strong>. – the voice stopp<strong>ed</strong> for a while. The person was probably on the<br />
telephone. – I know I was the only one sober Alex, but I seriously don’t<br />
remember very well. It was all very fast, She was high and jump<strong>ed</strong>, that’s all!- it<br />
stopp<strong>ed</strong> again. – I know I gave you all that drug that got you all high, I’m sorry. –<br />
again. – Julia us<strong>ed</strong> it after. I didn’t use it.<br />
The detective identifi<strong>ed</strong> the voice as probably Brad’s son, Peter.<br />
Even though the kid said Julia had committ<strong>ed</strong> suicide, something seem<strong>ed</strong><br />
strange. The blood test Jake had collect<strong>ed</strong> said the girl wasn’t high. He decid<strong>ed</strong><br />
to interview the boy.<br />
— Excuse me Peter, can I come in? I’m Mrs. Kate’s detective, she’s<br />
Julia’s mom. I just want to ask you a few questions. – Jake tri<strong>ed</strong> not to scare the<br />
boy. It did not work. Peter end<strong>ed</strong> the call very fast.<br />
— Didn’t they end the investigations?<br />
— Not really. So, can I?<br />
— Hm, ok... – the boy seem<strong>ed</strong> nervous.<br />
— So, how was your relationship with Julia?<br />
— I didn’t know her very well.<br />
— Were you two friends?<br />
— Not really.<br />
— Was she high that night?- the detective look<strong>ed</strong> deep into<br />
Peter’s eyes.<br />
— Yes. — the boy said. He start<strong>ed</strong> shaking his leg. He was clearly<br />
nervous. Jake knew he was lying and smil<strong>ed</strong>.<br />
— And you? Were you high?<br />
— Yes... – Peter said slowly. He was lying again. Why would he lie<br />
so much?<br />
— What did you use? – Jake was trying to pressure him<br />
— Hmm... Marijuana.<br />
— Haha, and how does it feel?<br />
— Err, strange?<br />
Peter was a new suspect. He li<strong>ed</strong> so much to Jake! Why would he<br />
do that? To protect someone? To protect himself?<br />
