2024-10-29 19:42:56Max 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

“You do realize they are going to come for you on defense on this.” The DA stated.“I know,” Max said with a smile. “The best evidence though that proves what I said was actually handwritten from the victim herself.”“What?” The DA asked.“She had a detailed journal,” Max said. “She wrote everything down. When I say everything, I mean everything from dates and times to what she did that day. She then goes on a rant or two about the things that were going on in her life and how they all stemmed from the past. Your best witness to all of this is the victim herself.”“I see.” The DA said. “Now, what is this all about?”“This is to show how many people could have had a hand in it,” Max said. “But it also

“So the sister had a hand in it?” The captain said as he looked at the man in front.“They all did,” Max said as he looked at the other two posters. “She was helping cover things up. That is why she came back to help.”“I see,” DA said. “Now on to the other two.”“Well, this is where it gets dicey,” Max said. “Which one do you want first?”“The father.” The captain said as he looked at Max. “He did it, didn’t he?”“Actually, no,” Max said as he looked at the two men. “He had a super iron-clad alibi. I even looked into the fact he could have hired someone to do it for him, but the honest answer is he had nothing to do with the actual murder.”“Then why is he up there? “The DA asked, slightly confused.“It wasn’t the murde

“When I had the victim DNA tested and her own child, I expected the results to either prove that it was Harry’s son or not. Even I didn’t expect to get what I got. I had to call an expert in well nearly everything medical to explain it to me, and she did.” Max said as the two continued to look at him.“Well, what was it?” The Da asked as he looked at Max, who was taking a drink of water again.“The boy had nearly seventy percent of the same DNA,” Max said.“What?” the two other people asked at the same time.“The boy was a result of an incestuous relationship,” Max said. “The father and the mothers were father and daughter. Phillip is the boy's father and grandfather. The victim was the mother and the sister to her own child. The boy has a few

Max was able to walk out of the station with six other officers. He now had warrants for their arrests and to search the houses. It had only taken an hour from the time that he had made the presentation to the DA and the captain. He had been in his office reflecting on everything as the other man walked in and put the papers down on his desk.“Get me the gun.” He said as he looked at Max, “Then you will have done the best job you ever did with any case.”“I’ll try,” Max said as he looked at the man and then at his watch. This was going to be tricky as they were in two different places. Max wanted to be there for both. He thought of the man and knew he had to be first. “I need a patrol car to drive by this address and see if this car is there.”Soon after the car was confirmed at the building, he smiled. Philip was going

Max saw the people all around them with their phones out. This was not something that has ever happened in this area of the town. They must all think it was part of a television show. “Head’s up, guys. We do this by the book. We have cameras on us.”“Roger that Detective.” The officers said as Max took the lead and walked to the front door. He knocked, and when the housekeeper opened the door.“Get her,” Max said, and then he saw the woman in question standing there in a sleepwear suit, and she had wide eyes. Max monitored for her to come to the door. “You are under arrest for the murder of your daughter Samantha.”“Surely this is a joke.” The woman said as she looked at Max.“No joke. Please put your hands behind your back.” Max said.“You don’t have to cuff me.” The woman said.

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.

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.

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.

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
