The police officer’s expression remained neutral, but Jason could see he was taking every word seriously. Breaking into someone’s home was a serious matter, and Jason knew the implications of what he was confessing. But he also knew that holding back any information, no matter how incriminating, wouldn’t help in solving the mystery of his father’s death.
The officer’s eyes narrowed slightly as he absorbed the information. “I understand this was not an easy thing to confess,” he said slowly, “but it does add another layer to this case. I can see why you’re concerned about Susan.” Jason felt a glimmer of hope. Maybe his actions, however reckless, would help uncover the truth. “So, what happens now?” he asked, his voice laced with a mixture of anxiety and anticipation.
