A few days later , Officer Turner called me into the station again. This time I brought Adam with me. When we entered the police station, there was a sort of tension in the air and I had a feeling it was about Clare. The woman saw me walk in and picked up her phone, pressing a button on it. A few minutes later, Officer Turner gestured for Adam and I to follow him. He led us to a room, different than before. It was most likely his office because it looked like any other office I had ever seen. We sat in the chairs in front of his desk and he sat as well.
"I don't know how to tell you two this, especially under these circumstances." He started.
"What circumstances? What's going on?" I questioned. I looked at Adam and he seemed like he just wanted this to be over with.
"I'm just going to come out and say this. The person who killed Clare has come forward." We looked at each other in amazement, but also worry. Who had killed Clare, and why?
"When my partner and I were interrogating suspects, Alli Bhandari confessed to killing Clare." He finally said. Shocked, Adam and I said,
"What? Why?" We yelled.
"She said it was because she was jealous of Clare. That Clare always got what she wanted. Specifically you, Eli. Alli said that she had loved you since high school and Clare knew it, so she killed her." Officer Turner finished.
"I can't believe this! How could she kill Clare over something so stupid?" Adam outburst.
"What is going to happen to Alli? She's going to prison right?" I asked.
"It depends on what the jury decides. " He answered.
"This is ridiculous. She killed Clare and confessed to doing it. She should be put in prison." Adam explained.
"Adam come on let's go. We can still go to the trial right?" I asked Officer Turner.
"Of course, the trial is July 20th." He said.
"Alright. Thank- you for all you've done Officer." With that we left, even with Adam's protests I led him to my car where he broke down in tears once again. Clare's murderer had finally been found, now I could start to move on. At least, as best I could without the one I loved. My one true soul mate.
