WILLOW “I’m sorry but you can’t go in there,” officer Lafferty says with the patience of a restless cat. She’s an officer at the campus security office and I’ve been trying to get into the room, where Aiden is currently being questioned, all to no avail. “But why can’t I go in there? It’s been over two hours.” I flay my hands dramatically. “This is insane. He didn’t do it. If you’ll just let me get in there to talk to Tessa.” “I can’t.” She grunts angrily. “Either you sit still or you leave. Your choice.” “This isn’t fair.” I growl. I storm away from her desk. Again, I try Aiden’s phone but it goes straight to voicemail. They must have taken it away from him. What questions are they asking that’s taking so long? What is Tessa saying? My phone rings with an incoming call from Viole
