Jolene panted for air. Things were not going the way she’d planned. She removed her hoodie, revealing her sweat-stained face, and unzipped her jacket. Standing in the alleyway a few blocks down from Rebecca’s apartment, Jolene warily scanned her surroundings before dumping her jacket into a nearby dumpster. She pushed up her glasses, smoothed her hair, and straightened her black blouse before she stepped out of the shadows and hailed a cab, all the while carrying a backpack.
A yellow cab halted in no time and Jolene slipped in like a cat.

In the darkened interrogation room, a knock came at the door, and an officer came in to hand John a new folder. It was the forensics report on Irana Long. John took his time to read through it and study the photos of a battered-looking Irana. Then, he gently spread the photos in front of Jolene Knowles.“You’ve confessed to killing Diana Walker and Suzanne Lee. It won’t make your sentence lighter by not confessing to this last crime.”
