Chapter 15 - A Terrifying Confession Shocks the Experienced Local Detectives
Back in the interrogation room following his failed escape attempt, David was breathing heavily with a bruised jaw.
Detective Vance slid a copy of Sarah’s recovered journal across the metal table directly in front of him.
“Your escape attempt just added five years to a sentence that was already going to put you away for life,” Vance said.
David stared at the journal with dead, exhausted eyes, knowing his web of lies had completely fallen apart.
“I didn't mean for it to go on this long... it just started as a way to scare her into silence,” David whispered.
“You stole fourteen months of an innocent woman’s life, David; there is no excuse for what you did,” Vance replied firmly.
“You don't understand... someone else was helping me fund the property taxes while I was hiding her,” David muttered.
Vance leaned forward instantly, his eyes narrowing sharply at the unexpected and alarming new piece of information.
“What are you talking about? Who else was involved in this operation with you?” Vance demanded answers.
