~Chapter 2~
I went to bed Friday night without any worries, just knowing that I wouldn't get caught. I had the whole weekend ahead of me. On Saturday I woke up bright and early and had some cheerios and milk, I then proceeded to the family room to watch television. On the morning news it talked of the murders...
The news reporter said "two children were found brutally murdered last night. Many people are being brought in for questioning, but no arrests have been made." Ha! I thought to myself, I'm going to get away with it! Just then, someone knocked on the front door. Shit... I looked out the window and saw two policemen standing there. I answered the door, looking as innocent as I possibly could...
JT: yes, officers?
Policeman #1: We were wondering if we could ask you a few questions about Friday night.
JT: Sure officers... what about?
Policeman #2: Well I'm sure you've heard of the two kids murdered last night.
JT: Ya it was on the news this morning, its terrible what happened to them... I think they went to my school.
Policeman #1: well, where were you around 10:15 last night?
JT: At my friend Spinners house. Why am I a suspect?
Policeman #1: It's a possibility... We are not ruling any one out quite yet.
JT: Well I didn't do anything, so if you'll excuse me officers I need to be going.
I start to close the door, and the officer stops me and says "Son, we are going to check out your alibi"... "You do that" I reply, and I shut the door. I cannot get caught. I will not get caught... The first thing I should do is run over to Spinners and make sure he gets my alibi straight. I hope he didn't realize what time I left... I rush over there, and just my luck, the cops are already there. I hide in the bushes at the end of his drive way. I catch a few words here and there. Spinner was sticking up for me... I think. I hear "no, he.... here. Yes" hopefully he was telling the police that I had been there. The cops thank him and leave. I walk up the drive way and ring the doorbell. Spin answers...
Spinner: Hey JT... the police were just here asking about you.
JT: Really what did they ask you?
Spinner: If you were here last night.
JT: Oh why were they asking you that?
Spinner: I don't know, but I think that you're a suspect... Where did you go after you left my house last night? Please don't tell me you went to Craig's.
JT: Okay I didn't go to Craig's... but hey, I gotta go, I'll talk to you later.
I start to walk away, and Spinner yells to me "You didn't do it right JT... Right?" I don't answer him. Fuck I think to myself. Not only do the police think I did it but so do my friends. I decide to walk around for a little while, to clear my mind. First I walk past Craig's house. There is police tape surrounding the whole area. I see Joey outside holding Angela. The little girl is crying and I hear her ask Joey "daddy, who hurt Craig?" I keep walking. I won't let this get to me. I head over to Toby's house, he'll know it wasn't me, he'll believe me. I'm sure of it... I ring Toby's doorbell and Ashley answers, her eyes are swollen and it looks like she's been crying.
Ashley: Hi JT... Toby's upstairs.
JT: Thanks.
As I start up the stairs, I look back down at Ash. She is crying and huddled at the end of her couch. I begin to feel really guilty. Toby appears at the top of the stairs "Hey JT... Did you hear about what happened to Craig and Manny last night?"... "Ya I can't believe that something like that happened in our neighborhood" I replied. Toby told me to come in to his room; he didn't want Ashley to over hear anything because she was really upset. I begin by telling him how the police stopped over me house earlier, and how they said I was a suspect. "I wasn't even near Craig's house last night, I was at Spinners party!" I tell him, and I can tell he believes me. Toby looks at me, and says "JT no one except for the police thinks you did it; your way to nice no one will believe that you did it so don't worry." Thanks Tobe, I reply. At least I know one person has my back. I tell Toby that I have to go and I leave, heading towards my house.
I get home and sitting in my drive way is a police car. The cops get out and head over to me. One policeman tells me to get up against the car. The other says "JT you are under arrest for the murder..." I push him off me and begin to run, as fast I could. They wont catch me, I know exactly where to hide...
