The Truth is Revealed

Jerry is sitting at his desk. Joe is behind him. The two are reviewing the security tape from Stan's house for the third time.

Running his fingers through his thinning hair, Joe says, "This isn't attempted murder. It's self-defense."

"I know, boss."

A Puzzled expression crosses Joe's face when he asks, "Why didn't Katie tell us what happened in that house?"

"I don't know."

"I want to see her immediately."

Jerry smiles. "She's waiting for you in interrogation one."

"Thanks, Jerry."

Joe sees Katie resting her head on top of her arms when he storms into the room. She jumps when the door slams to."Ok,

missy, I'm done playing games with you." Dragging a chair across the floor, he plops down.

"What games? I'm not playing any games," she sleepily replies.

"You're not telling us the truth about what took place at your father's house."

"I did tell you the truth."

"Why didn't you tell us you hit Stan trying to protect your sister?"

"Katelyn wasn't there."
