Chapter 3
Truman and Natalie sat at Truman's desk going over the results of the autopsy.
"Okay," Truman said. "According to this, there was semen found in Trevor. Semen that belonged to a certain, Evan Freeman."
"Do you think this Evan Freeman raped the victim?" Clark asked, walking into the office.
"Clark," Truman said. "You're supposed to be focusing on desk work."
"I'm finished," Clark said. "Look, I know I can't go out on the field yet, but can't I at least interrogate?"
"To avoid you annoying me, I'll say yes," Truman said.
Anderson walked into the office.
"Uncle Max," Anderson said. "The movie was awesome!"
"Who's this?" Truman asked.
"This is my nephew, Anderson," Clark replied.
"Hello," Truman said.
"Hi, Anderson," Natalie said.
"Why is he here?" Truman asked.
"He's waiting here while his father is at a meeting," Clark replied.
"We have donuts in the break room," Truman said.
"Cool," Anderson said.
"Anderson," Clark said. "How would you like to see a real interrogation?"
Half an hour later, Clark and Grant stood outside the interrogation room. Hardwicke then walked up to them.
"Okay, Grant," Hardwicke said. "Change of plans. The suspect has brought in a lawyer."
"I deal with lawyers all the time," Grant said.
"Yes," Hardwicke said. "But this lawyer is your boyfriend."
"Oh," Grant said. "I'll just be observing."
Hardwicke and Clark entered the interrogation room where Kendrick and Evan sat waiting.
Anderson and Grant watched as Clark and Hardwicke interrogated Evan.
"How old are you, Evan?" Hardwicke asked.
"16," Evan replied.
"Do you know why we've called you here?" Clark asked.
"You think I had something to do with Trevor's death," Evan replied. "I watch legal shows."
"Your semen was found in Trevor," Clark said.
"Trevor and I have been having sex," Evan replied.
"Was it consensual?" Clark asked.
"Yes," Evan replied.
"Did you stab Trevor?" Hardwicke asked.
"No," Evan replied.
"When did you last see Trevor?" Hardwicke asked.
"Last night," Evan replied. "We were attending a party at my friend, Josh's house. We had sex and then I left because my dad texted me to come home to visit my aunt."
"We need the address of that party and everyone present," Clark said. "And we need to talk to your parents."
"Okay," Evan replied. "And can possibly not tell my parents that… That I'm gay?"
"Okay," Clark said.
"It's just, my dad gets so mad at things," Evan said.
Grant looked over and Anderson, who had a worried look on his face.
"Are you okay?" Grant asked.
"I'm fine," Evan replied.
