1Chapter25- Lonely Joey
Nick had only stayed for that day, he had to get back to school in NJ. Joe had tried to lock Nick in a closet again, but Nick didn't fall for it this time.
Lillian spent most of her time with Kaleigh, for reasons no one really knew. So Joe felt especially lonely. Even though Nick called more often now it wasn't the same.
Kevin spent most of his time with Leslie now. So Joe spent a lot of time at Kevin's apartment alone.
Luckily Shawn, finally got Joe a case of a robbery to work on. Hopefully that would keep him occupied at least for a little while. He started working on the case the next day.
He would have to go to the store that had been robbed, and talk to all the employees and managers and owners. It wasn't exactly Joe's idea of fun. He was looking for more of a murder or kidnaping, but Shawn said that he should start off slow. Although he argued about it the fact of the matter was that Joe would end up working on the robbery.
He was hoping that Lillian might be able to be his partner on this case, but according to Shawn he didn't need a partner but in any case Lillian was much too busy talking to Kaleigh now. What they had to talk about every single day he'd never know.
Joe sighed as he walked to the store that had been robbed and pushed open the door, "hi" he said, "I'm looking for the manager."
An employee nodded as he went into the back room. He soon returned with a girl with long red hair, she appeared to be about seventeen. Her blue eyes looked at Joe angrily.
"Can I help you," she asked rudely.
"I'm J. Jonas and I'm here to investigate the robbery that took place here a few days ago," Joe held out his hand.
"Mary Ann," she answered walking around to the fourth cash register, "This is where it happened."
Joe put his un shook hand down and walked over to the cash register, "were you here when the robbery occured?"
"Well, duh," she said, "how else would I have known where the robbery took place?"
"Sorry," said joe oddly, "maybe I'll just come back another time."
"Fine by me," she said curtly.
"I'm afraid," Joe said taking out his hand cuffs, "I'm gonna have to take you in for the robbery of this store."
"What evidence do you have on me," she asked appalled.
He laughed "well seeing as you have a key to the cash register oh and also if the store was closed when the robbery occurred how could you have been here to see it happen?" He put the cuffs around her wrists. "You have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law, you have the right to a lawyer if you can not afford a lawyer the court will assign one to you. You have the right to a fair trial with a fair jury," he finished, "mans that's cool. Now after you." he walked her out the door and took her to the police station.
