be his bedroom from scoping out the location.
     
    He pulled out a gun and fired, missing me and hitting the wall. I took the opportunity to shoot him myself, hitting him in the head with ease. The man had, at an earlier date, revealed to my employer where he kept his stash of drugs – the reason for his debt. It was a vase with Japanese flowers painted on it. I took it in hopes of covering evidence of drugs.
     
    That night, I also vacated my home, going to hide out at my employer’s home. At this point in time, I was going by an alias, Mark Reimers. I had changed my name months before to cover up my true identity.
     
    Several days later, on Friday, the tenth, I was hired to track down and kill a Louise Butler. I found her at the state fair, on the day she owed us money. I called her, she had no excuses, and so I killed her with a single bullet to the head. I returned to my employer to inform him what had ensued.
     
    Even later, on the following day, Saturday, the eleventh, I found a Joseph McKenzie hiding in a hotel room. I had been tracking him for several days, so I had been searching for him before I killed Miss Butler. I found out what hotel he was staying and, under the guise of a friend, managed to get a key from the hotel receptionist. When she tried to make things hard for me, I threatened to kill her if she told anyone anything.
     
    I made my way to Mister McKenzie’s room and found him in the bathroom. He tried to tell me why he didn’t have the money, but I didn’t give him a chance and shot him as well. I left with the key and reported to my employer again. When a detective Trent Baker and his partner Madison Rose came to my door, questioning me as Mark Reimers, the friend of Louise Butler, I willingly went with them to the station.
     
    They knew me from a call they’d made after finding Miss Butler’s body. I claimed to be Mark Reimers and told them I was formerly her coworker but couldn’t meet with them as I was going out of town on business. I answered a few brief questions before the call was over. In the station, they asked me more routine questions and I gave the identity of my employer to them through a story.
     
    I understood they would know the story as detective Rose had formerly dated him. However, I would not reveal the name. I was held in the holding cell before the chief of police came and took me to the prison. It was there that I was questioned again and have willingly offered my employer’s name in return for a lesser sentence. The man I worked for is known as Liam Amsel. He gets me the drugs and tells me the client name to sell them too. We put the amount on a tab and add it up, giving them a deadline to pay it off.
     
    If they are unable to pay, the sentence is death. Liam is currently working at a law office as a lawyer.
     
    Madison stared at the last few sentences of the statement. He had already been offered a lighter sentence, but he wouldn’t give herself or Trent Liam’s name. She slowly averted her gaze to Trent. “How did he do that…?” she asked. The man looked to her, their eyes meeting as he searched for a longer explanation to her question.
     
    “Who do what?” he asked. Her gaze shifted back to the statement and the last few sentences, mainly the one naming Liam as his employer.
     
    “Get the name from Jasper, Billy,” she answered. Trent shrugged and set the statement down. He chuckled a bit as he thought about it. Billy often had his way with the suspects; he never saw the man violent or even heard him angry, and yet he could get just about any information from a suspect when he tried.
     
    “I’m still wondering why he didn’t present this to Liam, might have saved a lot of trouble,” he muttered. Of course, it didn’t replace real evidence, but he didn’t see why they needed to carry it out any longer either. He motioned for Madison to follow him and headed out of his office, back down the hall and to the holding cell where Liam still
