Chapter 9
Jonny slowly opened the front door and slipped in quietly. He hung up his jacket and turned around and was face-to-face with Hadji. "Geeze, Hadj, you startled me."
"I am sorry, Jonny. What did George say? Did he tell you who killed Jessie?" Hadji asked.
"He said that Jason Thomas did it." Jonny shook his head and headed to the sofa.
"Jason Thomas?" Hadji repeated. "The same Jason Thomas who has been after Jessie for years? The one that is on the football team?"
"Do you know any other Jason Thomas in Rockport, Maine that knows about the layout of the compound and the security cameras?" Jonny asked.
"How did he know the layout of the compound and security cameras?" Hadji asked.
"A few months ago we had to work together for a history project, so we worked up in my room." Jonny explained, leaning his head against the back of the sofa.
"Our father was upset that you went out after George, even though he knew he could not stop you." Hadji said.
"Yeah, I know." Jonny sighed. "Dad knows that I would have done it anyways no matter what."
"So now what?" Hadji asked.
Jonny shrugged. "I guess tell the police." He looked at his brother. "No offense, bro, but I'm kinda surprised the police don't have you listed as a suspect. I mean, your fingerprints were on Jessie's body."
"I am surprised as well," Hadji shrugged.
