Failed Ultimatums

Once in their police car, they went through their notes once again, and James said that he thought Alex was being framed.

"The murder was premeditated. It wasn't an accidental thing. It seemed like a murder of vengeance," Maurice said, his eyes fixed on the building they had just left.

What do you say about his missing phone? What about the claims by the son?" James asked in a hyped voice. The case was beginning to make sense to him, and he couldn't wait to handcuff that murderer and throw him/her in jail.
