“But it helps me understand why you responded the way you did.”
“Understood.”
“Walk me through it.”
I did.
From the first key notice.
All of it.
Holloway took notes.
When I finished, he asked, “Do you have the letters?”
“Inside.”
“Emails?”
“Yes.”
“Attorney correspondence?”
“Yes.”
“Camera footage?”
“Yes.”
“Previous police report?”
“Yes.”
He looked at me.
“You document everything.”
“Habit.”
“That habit may help you today.”
They removed the handcuffs.
I remained at the scene.
Not free to wander.
But no longer restrained.
Police entered the house with my permission so I could retrieve printed files.
I gave them a folder.
Laura Chen’s letter.
Brenda’s notices.
My refusal.
Charles Wynn’s email saying he had not known security was targeting my home.
Photos of Darren’s vehicle.
The anonymous warning.
Everything.
Detective Holloway read quietly.
Then he asked, “Where is Brenda Sterling now?”
“I have no idea.”
