"I don't see what we did wrong!" Edward said to Hoch as he sat down in the interrogation room.
"Hm… let's see. Robbery, murder, and kidnapping. Since when is that all not illegal?" Hoch asked.
"What are you talking about?" Edward asked.
"Don't act like you don't know!" Hoch said, slamming his fist down on the table. "Where were you last night?"
"At work. I came home around six and ate dinner with my wife, daughter, and her friend Alice. They-they had a sleepover." Edward said.
"Really? What is Alice's last name?" Hoch asked.
"Brandon. Her full name is Mary-Alice Brandon." Edward replied.
"Garcia?" Hoch turned to the glass window.
"Already on it." She replied, even though she knew he couldn't hear her.
Across the hall, Rosalie and Reid had Vanessa in an interrogation room.
"Hi Vanessa. I'm Rosalie and this is my friend Spencer. Could we ask you a few questions?" Rosalie asked.
Vanessa nodded and Rosalie sat down.
"How long have you known those people?" she asked.
"Since I was negative nine months." Vanessa replied.
"So your whole life?" Reid asked.
Vanessa nodded.
"So what where you up to last night?" Rosalie asked, sounding just like another thirteen-year-old.
"I had a sleepover at my house with my best friend." She replied.
"Who is that?" Rosalie asked.
"Alice Brandon."
"Okay, well, we will be right back." Rosalie said as her and Reid walked out.
"All three stories match up." Morgan said, walking out of Bella's interrogation room.
"Garcia, what about this Alice kid?" Rosalie asked.
"Said she was, like, totally having a sleepover at her bff Vanessa's house." Garcia said.
"This makes no sense!" Prentice said.
"Maybe it's a set-up." Emmett said from the corner.
"Right." Rosalie said. "Come with me to talk to Vanessa."
Reid, Rosalie, and Emmett walked into Vanessa's interrogation room.
She screamed when she saw Emmett and ran to the other side of the room. "Please don't let him hurt me!"
"Emmett, why would she be saying that?" Rosalie asked.
"She's a kid! I have no idea." He replied coolly.
Just to be safe, Rosalie handcuffed him and put him in a separate interrogation room.
"Mr. Cullen, does this man look familiar?" Rosalie asked, holding up a picture of Emmett she got out of Hoch's wallet.
"Yes." He replied, looking down. "He came to me home demanding money and other things. He threatened to kill us. He took our credit cards, cash, and our piece of mind."
Rosalie's phone rang. "Garcia?"
"Rose, the finger-prints found on the bodies where Emmett's and Vanessa isn't the victim's daughter. Her name is Sydney and she was at her grandparents' house at the time of the murders."
Rosalie almost dropped the phone. This whole time she was working with a murderer.
Apparently, Hoch and Morgan heard because they pulled her out the door and into Emmett's interrogation room. Reid was standing in the corner.
"You're under arrest for theft in the second degree and murder." Rosalie said as Morgan grabbed him.
"You know what the funny thing is that I almost got a chance to kill you." He smiled at Rosalie. "Remember when I was leaning over you while you where playing with the body?"
Rosalie scoffed. "I could take you any day."
Morgan and Reid smiled. "That's my girl." Morgan said as he led Emmett out.
"What do you say about putting this all behind us and go home. I still have a dinner to take you out too." Reid smiled.
"Well, the jet doesn't leave for three hours and I'm starving." Rosalie returned the smile.
"Well, let's go now." Reid smiled and took Rosalie's hand as they walked out.
