Chapter 46
Mac and Stella sat down, Mac lied about the witness, but Alex didn't know that.
"What Alex, I thought you wanted a Lawyer"?
"You really have a witness"?
"Yes, but why are you worried, you are innocent right"?
"Wait I'm trying to think, will you give me a minute".
"Yeah a minute". Alex stood up he was pacing, Mac and Stella stayed calm. Alex sat down, "What kind of deal would someone get"?
"Deals are only for people that confess, not ones that won't talk".
"What deal would the killer get"?
"I would push for the killer to get psychiatric help, if the death of a child made this person lose it, that would maybe give him a lesser sentence"
"Cindy was my life, she was all I had. My Wife died leaving me to raise Cindy, it was so hard. She was a great kid, but she got hooked up with Mason. He was trouble, but she wouldn't listen. I told her over, and over he would break her heart, and he did. She was devastated when they broke up, she left him, but it hurt her so bad. She wanted him back, but he wouldn't even really talk to her. She confided in Amy she said, and she went after Mason, she was Cindy's friend".
"Amy was a young lady that made the same mistake as your Daughter. She didn't deserve to die, she was so young, she had her whole life ahead of her".
"So did Cindy, she died, doesn't anyone care about my girl"?
Stella got up, "Calm down sit down, we care we told you that already".
"She was raped , she didn't kill herself".
"Alex I think Mason slept with Cindy, and than walked out of her life again. He was a drug addict, he would do anything, he used both Amy and Cindy. He would have eventually hurt Amy, but someone brutally killed them instead".
"I was so angry, I was so confused, all I could think about was Cindy. I saw her at the hospital, she looked like she was sleeping. Why didn't she come to me, why did she hurt herself"?
"Alex it isn't your fault, so many people are in so much pain, they don't reach out for help. She probably was ashamed, that she let Mason back into her life, she didn't want to tell you".
"I would have helped her, I was her Father, I was suppose to protect her".
Mac pushed the picture over to Alex, "Did you do this Alex, tell us now, the killing has to stop"? Alex started to cry, pushing the paper away, "I shot her twice, I wanted her dead".
Mac shut his eyes, he was confessing, he wanted to reach over , and beat him. He held the table, listening to him.
"Do you realize you are confessing to this crime Alex"?
"Yes I killed her, and Mason, and that other guy. I killed them as they walked to the elevator. Amy was shocked seeing me, I wanted to hurt her, like she hurt my Daughter. She is to blame, I really believe Cindy would be alive today, if Amy didn't hurt her".
"Have you killed more people than these three people"?
"Yes, I killed all those drug dealers, they are scum. They kill people everyday with the crap they put on the streets. If you people got them off the streets, so many parents wouldn't have to bury their children. I wanted to make Cindy's life mean something, I killed them in her honor".
Mac whispered, "She wouldn't want this, now you will be in jail. You will live everyday knowing what you did. You didn't have to do this, we would have got these guys off the street eventually."
"Right I had to do it".
Mac got up walking to the door, "Stella get him to write out his statement, than take him to lockup, I will see what we can do for him"
"You said I would get a deal you promised"?
"I will keep my word, but I don't think you deserve it, you are worse than the people you killed". Mac walked out, leaving Stella, and Alex speechless.
