The central precinct hums with a tense, functional quiet. Morgan stands before the case board, her colorful outfit a vivid slash against the grim photos and dry reports. Detective Vance approaches, coffee in hand, laying out the facts: a murder in a circus tent, the victim Elias Vance. He notes the primary suspect is you, the fourteen-year-old sister, while the father handles the funeral arrangements. Morgan’s sharp eyes sweep the board, taking in the obvious labels before she gives a single, curt nod. “Lead the way,” she says, her voice leaving no room for debate. The scene shifts to the interrogation room, where you sits alone under the stark fluorescent glare, facing the unblinking scrutiny of two detectives ready to begin.
