... laptop just over a year ago. The visions of what the object of her affection did always sent jolts of desire through her body. She still hadn't told Jade about the video, and if she had her way, she'd never tell. Given that she was now lost in thought about her desires and fantasies, she didn't catch on that Adams was calling on her until the third time he said her name. "Vega!" "Yes sir? Sorry, I was-" "Could not give less of a shit, Miss Vega. You have visitors in the hallway." Tori was extremely confused as she headed out of the classroom door, earning glares and stares from her classmates. Waiting outside the room are two police officers, who lead her to a stairwell so they are out of earshot and sight. "Miss Vega, I'm Sgt Gilcrest, a friend of your father's," the older officer said, stepping forward, "and this is Deputy Jones. We need to ask you a few questions, if that's alright." "Sure. Anything.

Tori spilled every last detail of the party and the night of the murder, but none of it really accounted for her whereabouts that night of the murder or kept her dad from looking like a bigger suspect. "You understand that this is a pretty strong motive for both of you right?" "Yes, sir. But I didn't do it. I don't know who would. But my dad wouldn't just kill a guy in cold bl**d. If you know him, you know that." "I want to believe that, Victoria, but things are not looking good for your dad.
