Chapter Three: The Stadium

The next day (June 14th)

I woke up around 8am because my phone called. It was the dispatcher. I just knew that William has killed again. I answered the phone.

"William called, we tried to trace the phone call, but he hanged up before we could pin his location." The dispatcher said.

"Dammit, well tell me what you know, and I'll be there." I said a little bit annoyd. "The body is at 7th avenue & 32nd Street at 4 Pennsylvania Plaza, Manhattan. Outside of the Madison Square Garden, entrance D." The dispatcher said. "On my way." I said and hung up.

When I got to the entrence the news has already showed up. It is a lot of people here already, but no officers or security guards here yet. "Hey dispatch, I need some backup at Madison Square Garden at entrance D. The press is here and so are some teenagers. And I need the forensics at the scene" I said. I went out of my car and I started to take police tape and made people leave longer back. The news station tried to get information from me, but i just looked at them as they asked and I said "Please steb back, there is nothing I can tell you because I just got here, even if I did have something I wouldn't tell you guys anything. So if you don't stop asking me questions, don't listen to me, or interfere with my investigation, I will take the camera away from you, and I will put you behind bars". I never really liked news people, always in the way. I saw officer Caleb, Smith, Carlson and Russel. Thanks guys for showing up on such a short notice. This is what we need to do. Caleb you deal with the press, and make sure they don't get anything. I said. Copy that sir. Caleb said. Smith and Carlson, go and make sure no one comes inside here. I said. Copy that. Smith and Carlson said. Russel, you help them if it's needed, and you come when I call you. Oh, and can you also call the team so they can get here? I asked. Yes partner. He said and gave a smirk.

I went to my car and got some gloves. I went to the entrance D and I saw a body of a young boy. He was around 10-14 years old. I searched him to see if he had any phone or ID on him. His phone was cracked, and it would not turn on. Seems like he got pushed down and thats how the phone cracked. I looked around and there was glass on the ground. I looked at the victims face, and there were some pieces of glass in him. It seemed like his face has been hit on the ground on the same place the glass broke. I kept searching for and ID. It was in his wallet, with a note that had emergency contacts on it. He is a 12 years old, his name is Jonathan Corwin. His fingers are a bit blue, however that might be many reasons for that. He could have been choked, the cold temperatures outside, lack of oxygen. There is no signs of struggle, just frightened eyes. I took the note up and called his dad. Hey I am officer Michaelson. Are you Mark Corwin, the dad to Jonathan Corwin? I asked. Yes I am. Who the hell are you and whew is my son? He asked. I'm officer Michaelson with the NYPD. My badge number is 7368 from the 103rd precinct. I would like to talk to you and your wife in person. Would it be possible for you to meet me there? I asked. We are on our way. He said and hung up. Russel get here. I screamed. Yes sir. What's going on? He asked. I need to headback to the station, I'm gonna meet his parents. Call me if there is anyting, and when the team gets here let them do their job. Smith you'll be in charge now. I said and left. Copy that. Said both Russel and Smith

When I got to the station the parents were waiting for me. I went over to them and said "Just follow me, and I'll be with you guys in a second", as I opened the door to the interrogation room. I went to my office, gathered every information I could and prepared myself for what to ask and what to expect. I do not like starting conversations by telling them that their relative is dead. I went into the interrogation room. And I let them know that this will be recorded, which is something I always do so there is no missunderstandings, and if I am questioning outside of the priecint I always have my bodycamera on. I'm officer Michaelson, you don't have to answer all the questions. You can take a break or leave at any moment. Before we start, is there anything you guys want? I said. Just water please. The mom answered. Okay, I'll be with it in a minute. I said.

When I got back, I started to question them. Since this is going to be recorded I just want you guys to start saying your names. I said. I'm Mark and this is my Wife Layla Corwin. The dad said. I'm sorry to tell you this, but your son is dead. Do you know someone that might have wanted to hurt him or wish him dead? I asked. No he is amazing. And why the hell would anyone want to kill a 12 year old? The dad said. Can you go more in detail on how your son is amazing? And honestly, I don't know, we're working as fast as we can to get the killer. I said. He has alot of friends, he goes to ballet in his free time, he goes to Simon Baruch Junior High School. He is loved by his friends and teachers. He never does things he knows he is not allowed to do. He does everything he gets told to do. The dad said. Thank you for the information. Do you have someone in your family that might want to hurt him? I asked. No, both of our patents are dead, and we don't have any siblings nor does he. The mom said. Okay, well thanks for your time. Here is my card, if you have any questions feel free to ask. And don't leave town, my partner here will show you out. I said and walked out of the interrogation room.

I was driving to the school after I talked to the parents. When I got there my phone called. I answered and said "Officer Michaelson here, how can I help you?"
