1. Confession.

Telling the detective about Stone and his gang is easy because it is purely my own story to tell. I got

nothing to hide in that regard. So, I go in-depth about the harassment, the prank, the assault, and the subsequent expulsion. Detective Blanco pulls a notebook from her pocket in the meantime and jots down notes from my statement, nodding her head lightly.

“Do you think that Stone is somehow related to the shootout?”-

I shake my head. “No, of course, not. One, Stone is a bully, not a killer. He might be an asshole, but his family isn’t into such activities. They’d rather go to the media and slander you than shoot your employees.”

The detective nods again. “So, who else are your enemies, Mr. Greyson? I have to admit, for someone so young you seem to have a lot.”

I quirk my lips at the irony. “Not a lot. Just Stone and his gang, and this one guy who’s got it out for me for a reason I cannot fathom.”

“Who is this guy?”

“His name is Aiden Collins,” I reply, “and honestly, much of this story is not mine to tell.”

“I’m afraid that I can’t allow that, Mr. Greyson. We are going to need the full story in order to perform our best in the investigation. I will assure you that the information will not be misused in any form.”

I nod at her honest tone. “Well, it started out when I was invited to a dinner at a restaurant for a high. school reunion…”

And so, I tell her the whole story from start to finish, and of course, that includes Aiden’s conduct with. Coraline, his abusing her in the past, his attempt at altering her life insurance plan, his conduct at the Adrenaline Rush, and everything else.

“This one does sound serious, Mr. Greyson,” Detective Blanco comments, “I assume the Coraline you speak of is your assistant.”

I nod.
