"Just take a seat right here." I said, escorting Mr. and Mrs. Vega inside my office, a small, poorly lighted room in the Beverly Hills Police Station.
"I know this may be hard for you. What happened to your daughter was tragic. But if you're completely honest with us and tell us everything you know, we'll try our very hardest to find Tori's killer."
I'd seen many brutal murders in all my years of being an officer, but the murder of Victoria Vega was by far one of the worst. The strangest part of this case was that she seemed so unlikely. She came from a wealthy family, and her house had a security system better than the one of the White House.
"We'll try our hardest." Said Mr. Vega, voice cracking. He was trying to be strong for his sobbing wife, but he was also breaking.
"Okay, first of all, is there anyone who would want to hurt-" I started, but was cut off by the sharp ringing of the phone. "Excuse me." I told the Vega's, picking up the heavy phone.
"Officer Heller." I answered gruffly.
"Heller. I have news on Tori Vega's case." Answered a quiet yet intimidating voice. It was Lindsay, our top investigator.
She immediately started babbling quickly , which was rare for Lindsay. "Lindsay. Slow down." I commanded. She repeated what she was saying.
"Alright, thank you." I said, slamming the phone onto the cradle. I stared over at the young victim's parents, a rush of shame coming over me.
"What is it?" choked Mrs. Vega, sobbing into a tissue.
"I am very displeased to tell you this." I started. I was unsure I could continue, imagining their reaction to what I was about to tell them. I cringed, then continued. "Our investigators have concluded that Tori's murderer was someone who was in the house that night."
"But that means-" Mrs. Vega started.
"Whoever murdered Tori was at her party. Her killer was one of her closest friends." Mr. Vega said, emotionless. Mrs. Vega wailed into her husband's chest. "We should go." He said, his eyes glazed over. And with that, the Vega's left my office.
