chapter seven

Interrogation room

When Goren and Eames went to arrest Jake Talbort, they found out he had already skipped town. They sent out an APB immediately. Jake was picked up in upstate NY on a traffic violation and was sent back to NYC. He also had his girlfriend, Brandi with him. The two were placed in separate interrogation rooms.

First they questioned Brandi. She was sitting at the table and did not look up when Goren sat across from her. He looked at the girl before speaking, "Do you know who might have sent this to us?" He asked showing he the note. He already knew the answer, but he wanted to hear it from her.

She glanced at it briefly, and then nodded. "I did."

"How do you know that he is the killer?" Eames asked next.

"Because he palnned it and had me aprticipate." Brandi said barely able to talk.

Goren noticed she ahd a black eye and there were finger grips on her thraot. "Is that what you got for deceiving him?"

"Yes, my reward." She glanced downward, ashamed of her role in the plot. "I didn't want to do it, but you see what he can do. He's the type to make you or he can make you pay dearly." She whispered while pointing to her face.

"You have to tell us everything, or he is going to walk and we can't guaranteed your safety," explained Eames.

Brandi was tired of the abuse and although she feared the man greatly, her conscience was even greater. She nodded, before going on to tell them everything. It seemed Jake had it in for Officer Wittman ever since he had arrested Jake and sent him to riker's for two years for the rape/burglary. He never got over it. It just so happened that on that night, Ariana and her friend came to Jack's for a good time, the off-duty cop was there too. Jake saw him and coerces Brandi into slipping the date rape drug into Ariana's drink. Why, she wasn't sure. The officer thought Ariana was drunk, so he offered to take her home. But apparently it played into Jake's hand perfectly. Jake now had afall man, or woman in this case.

Goren wrote everything down as Brandi spoke. "Why did he kill Sylvia?"

"Because after everything was done, she had over heard us talking about Jake killing the cop. She had come back and was looking for her friend, but after she heard what she heard, she quickly tried to get away, but it was too late, Jake had seen her." Brandi gently rubbed her eye, but winced at the pain. "I guess he followed her to her apartment and killed her also."

After Brandi's confession, they gave her a paper to sign, before arresting her for her involvement.

Now it was time to talk with Jake, something Goren was looking forward to.....
