“Where they close to Samantha?” Max asked.
“No,” Marie replied as she thought about the family in question. “Rita was always in the background. She and Sam never really talked. I can’t remember them ever being like sisters.”
“Why was that?” Max asked. He was getting a little background on the people he would have to call upon a little later. The DA wanted as much as possible on this case. The pressure to close it was growing, and Max knew it was only a few weeks away from being completely done. This was finding out thing to put in his report on the people who will have to answer the tough questions on why Samantha was the way she was.
“Rita knew the truth. She also hated that her father liked Samantha so much more. It wasn&rsqu

Max went down into the basement and to the room that was well monitored. He scanned his id and then walked into the surprise of the people who worked in there. It wasn’t often that someone came down there in person. They looked at him like he was an alien of some sort. He grinned and knew he was being the one who was out of place.“Hi,” Max said. “I have a case where one of my main suspects might have been involved with a lawsuit that was probably criminal but more likely civil dealing with an underage female.”“If the suspect is not in jail, it was probably civil.” One of the men said as he pushed up his glasses.“That was what I was thinking,” Max said as he looked at the four people that were in the room, still staring at him. “Is there a way for me to access the trial notes?”“If it was not crimina

The receptionist poked her head in about an hour later while Max was laid back in his chair and reading one of the files. If it hadn’t been a crime against a child or teenager, in this case, it would have made for some interesting reading. It turned his stomach, but he was intrigued by how this man had gotten off on so many charges of the years.“Your interview is here in room three.” She said, and he nodded.“Thank you. I do have one more coming in a bit later. Again just let me know after you place them.” Max said.“Why not when they get here?” She asked which was the normal thing most people did.“All of these people have been hiding the truth about something horrible for years. I want them to almost think they are here for themselves. It is a phycological trick to get them to open up a little bit more. I wish I could charge them, but nothing would s

Max walked out of the interview room and looked at his watch. He had a few minutes before the next interviewee would be there to be placed in the room. He knew the receptionist would do it the way he said, so he went out the back for a minute to get a breath of fresh air. He had a lot of new little details to go over.He knew this was complicated in the end, and a lot of people were involved, but this was the last of the fact-finding he had to do. The little details about Samantha and her relationships would be the ones that were the nails that held the box shut for the people really involved in her death. It wasn’t a normal case. He had already narrowed down the suspect list to two people. He would ask the questions and go where the answers would lead.The next interview was the last. It was the last for many reasons. This person was probably involved from the time that Max was in ways. It was

Max walked in, and the person looked at him blankly. Max took out the recorder he had been using and placed it on the table. “For the record, I am Detective Max Anderson.”“I know who you are, dipshit.” The person said.“I know that as well. For the record, your name is?” Max prompted as he says down.“You know my name.” The person said.“I do, but can you please state it?” Max said. “This is for the transcripts for the DA. He won’t know your name unless you say it.”“Why don’t you say it?” The person stated.“Because it is nice for them to hear that the person would answer an easy question such as your name without being the dumbass that you are,” Max said as he looked at the person.“You called me a dumbass?” The person asked as they looked at Max. “Can

Max looked at his brother, and he could see that he had not grown into a better man like Max had. He was the same as he always was. The favorite child in a family of two. He could have anything that he wanted, and he was given everything. Their parents had loved him more. It was plain in the way they had watched over him but never seemed to care about what Max had done.This was not the time to deal with that. Max took a breath, and he then steadied himself for this. “Tell me how you knew her now.”“I didn’t,” Michael said as he looked at his brother.“I have people who put you two together as close as a week before she died. You want to try again?” Max asked as he looked at the man his brother was.“Well, if you already know, then why ask?&r

Max sat in his living room that he now had poster boards hanging everywhere. This was the one time that he didn’t have someone there to tell him he was making a mess. He already knew, but this was the best way to show how he got the evidence and how the clues all fit together. He was happily sticking things on the fourth poster board and knew this case was going to have at least fifteen to possibly twenty. It was also there to show how so many players had a hand in her death, but they were not the ones who pulled the trigger. He could see that person clearly. Though it was not going to be easy to show that. That is why he knew he had to do all of this. Like he said to the captain, he needed a week to be able to prove to himself and then to everyone else he had the right person in his sights. At

More and more, the boards were coming to life in front of him. He knew this was the only way he could show the things that he knew. He could tell someone something but this way, he could show. There were a lot of few little nuances that only people who grew up in the area would know. It was also how people thought of each other and the overlap with Samantha.Everyone, it seemed, had some sort of motive to finally be the one to pull the trigger. There were more people involved in the events leading up to the actual murder. At one point, he needed to actually separate each person and look at each of them. He also had to build the timeline, which excluded quite a few people because they all had iron-clad alibies. The fact that a major event that was a charity was going on for the total time that the event happened. The corner was

Max walked into the station house feeling better than he had ever when having to give one of these presentations to people. He had the boards, and he placed them in his office. People were wide-eyed when they saw the stacks of them. He knew he was going to be put through the wringer as well. He only hoped that he could make his case, and the DA who was as hard as nails would bend to see everything. The small details in things were the entire case.That was a huge thing. Though he hoped with the arrest, the last few details would come out like the smoking gun, so to speak. The case was so multifaceted that there were things that could be overlooked. However, some of them he hoped to find still. This wasn’t the end of it.It was just another chapter. He walked into the Captain’s

The next few days Max was completely engrossed in going over the course from the beginning to the end. He had already rewritten at once and now he was going to make it more specific period he was already looking up case files and everything else that he could possibly do to get everything completely set. Though the paperwork Adam actually come in yet he was betting that it would any day now. He was OK with the fact that it wasn't totally official because he had the men’s word and his own captain's word working for him. He knew that they just had to make it more transferable on paper. He would leave that to them knowing that that was what it was going to be.the next few days he was also dealing with Deanna who is still in the middle of her grief. Though it seemed to hit her at random times it was still hitting her out of the blue. She was dealing with everything as she always did with her head held high even if she had tears in her eyes. She was really try

Max stop Deanna and the kids off at the university and then he went to the Academy. He knew that it wasn't going to take very long for him to go over everything. When he did get there he was ushered into their conference room and he passed out the folders to the three Deans of the different academies. He knew that that was going to be the number one thing that he had to do was make sure that he sold the program. He was good at selling himself as well. He had been doing it for years since he left the military. One of the things that he had to learn that in the civilian world it was his reputation that was going to get him very far. The fact that he had been in the military and woon did in battle wear something that people wanted to know about. So he had found a way to tell them without actually telling them anything.He had a normal way with words that was able to make the most complicated thing seem uncomplicated. That was also one of the reasons w

“what did she mean that it's part of the code?” Dana asked when they got into the car and Max had already started driving back to their house.“law enforcement spouses usually stick together. just like they say that there is a blue wall sometimes meaning that officers will stick with each other and not let the civilians know what really goes on. The same goes for their wives. Despite the fact that penny is also a part of it she is add detective wife. She knows all the rules in jazz who knows what it's like to be a new mom. And also have things surrounding you that you don't particularly want there. When they got married it was pretty rough. however I really didn't know them then I had only just heard what happened.

So you can tell her anything that you need to plus she's a doctor so she can help out at times.” next said

Max had been surprised the entire night. Everybody had been on their best behavior when they actually saw Deanna standing next to him. And then of course the two kids. Henny was smiling like there was no tomorrow because she knew that he had finally gotten what he always wanted. Mac kept smiling too but it was for a different reason and Max knew that as well. This was definitely going to be one of those things that they were going to have to do frequently enough that Deanna needed to feel comfortable around them. He didn't actually believe that couples should have too many friends that were not other couples. He was kind of old fashioned in the way that he thought. She could have as many friends as she wanted that was perfectly fine but they would probably spend more time with other couples. It just seemed not to cause as many problems in any relationship. At least that was his view of it and like he knew he could learn something else.Mac was more

Max knew that he had to explain a few things on the way over to the other couples house. So he began to give them a rundown of everybody that was there including the kids. He also explained how him an Mac were friends to the point that it was like Max was one of their kids as well even though he was pretty much the same ages them. it was one of those interesting relationships that Max had filled his life with before he was able to deal with anything really personal.He also then began to explain slightly how they knew about her well before they had become a couple. “so just so you understand that they're going to probably be teasing me a lot and giving me a lot of crap. It's going to be because of you but that's OK.”“what do you mean it's because of me?” Deanna asked if she looked at him she was slightly surprised after being very amused with the way that he was explaining his friends to her. It wasn't like she had a

He meant what he said when he said he wanted to out and celebrate. It wasn't very often that he had the opportunity to spoil the woman that he loved and take his kids out at the same time period though he wasn't exactly short how that was going to work. So he decided that he was going to take them out for a nice meal when his phone began to ring. Halo down and saw that it was a person that he was actually just thinking about Mac Paulin who is another detective in one of the sister police precinct. They had worked a few cases together and they had also worked on a case that had basically changed Mac and his wife henni’s life for a little bit.Mac was one of maxs friends. He didn't really consider many people to be his actual friend but they had actually become rather good friends over the past few years. Henni where's the local medical examiner prefer one of the counties nearby. She also consulted with different police precincts as well.“What

Packing everybody up with a little bit easier and he knew that this would become a routine eventually. He knew that he was going to have them there for as long as he worked in the building. He grabbed his folders and put them in his briefcase and then gave Henry his bag. Henry just looked at him like he had completely lost his mind. “When it's time to go home I'm gonna give you this bag. And we're going to pack up the things that you want to take home with you. We can't come back to the university at night so we're going to make sure that we take everything that we want. Remember you have lots of toys at home as well so you can leave some things here. but I know that you wanna take bear and blankie with you.” Mac said as he looked at him and then he began to help Henry pick up the things that were the most important. “We're going to leave your bed in your sisters bed here so it's easier for mommy and me.”“DD is mommy?

Watching the man storm out of the room and go upstairs with something that Max was going to take huge amount of pride in doing. He was more than happy to sit back and wait for the repercussions to actually happen. None of that actually mattered to Max right now. The way that he had thought of it was it was going to be something that they were going to have to deal with anyway period now the fact that he possibly had another job waiting for him that was going to be better would be the absolute feather in his cap right now.that happened to be the moment that his phone rang right before Deanna could actually say something to him about what had just happened. “hello this is detective Anderson.” Max stated into the phone as he had an idea of what the number actually was. It wasn't the one that he had called before but it was a very similar number so he had to assume that it was a police Academy calling him back.“detective Ande

After about 10 minutes of trying to get around exactly what the man was saying Max had enough. He was absolutely just thoroughly enjoying the fact that the man was so flustered that Max kept coming back with something else. It was like none of the other professors actually never questioned him. Or the fact that he normally had a few students going into his office for a few hours every day period of course those particular students were young females who had no business going into the Dean of students for the department’s office period of course Max wasn't actually going to bring that up but he was alluding to it. The only female that he wanted in his office. Was the one who was sitting in the corner.he looked over to Indiana who was watching the whole thing trying not to laugh as she was continuing to fake read whatever she was reading. Max knew that the man was not gonna give up very easily. And of course then the veiled threats that his course was proba
