OFFICER WILSON: Did I?

THOMAS PETIT: You did. At the bar you said Cora and Violet were taken to the hospital.

OFFICER WILSON: Please let Jordyn answer, Mr. Petit. There are no right or wrong answers here.

JORDYN PETIT: You said that someone hurt Cora and Violet.

OFFICER WILSON: Okay. You spent the night at Cora’s house?

JORDYN PETIT: Yes.

OFFICER WILSON: On a Sunday night?

JORDYN PETIT: It’s spring break, so we don’t have school this week.

OFFICER WILSON: What time did you go over to Cora’s house?

JORDYN PETIT: Um. Around six, I think. My grandpa dropped me off at about six.

OFFICER WILSON: And Violet Crow was there, too? What time did she get to Cora’s?

JORDYN PETIT: Later than me. Around six thirty. Her brother and his friends dropped her off.

OFFICER WILSON: Violet’s brother?

JORDYN PETIT: Yes. Max and his friends.

OFFICER WILSON: Do you know the name of the friends?

JORDYN PETIT: Clint something, I think.

OFFICER WILSON: You don’t know his last name?

JORDYN PETIT: No. And there was a girl in the car, too. Max’s girlfriend, Nikki.

OFFICER WILSON: Do you know what kind of car they came in?

JORDYN PETIT: I’m not sure.

OFFICER WILSON: The color? Or number of doors it had?

JORDYN PETIT: I don’t remember. Blue or black, maybe?

OFFICER WILSON: Okay. After Violet got there, what did you do?

JORDYN PETIT: We ate pizza and talked.

OFFICER WILSON: What did you talk about?

JORDYN PETIT: I don’t know. Just school and stuff.

THOMAS PETIT: What does this have to do with anything? Jordyn, do you know anything about what happened to Cora and Violet? Did you see anything?

OFFICER WILSON: Mr. Petit, again I’m going to have to ask you to listen without commenting. We’ll get to all that. I’m just trying to put together a timeline of events. Now, please… Jordyn, what did you do after you ate pizza?

JORDYN PETIT: Played some games. Balderdash and Say Anything.

OFFICER WILSON: Were Cora’s parents at home?

JORDYN PETIT: Yes, and her sister.

OFFICER WILSON: They were home the entire night?

JORDYN PETIT: Her mom and dad were for sure. I don’t know about Kendall.

OFFICER WILSON: Then what?

JORDYN PETIT: We watched a movie.

OFFICER WILSON: What movie?

JORDYN PETIT: Split and had popcorn.

OFFICER WILSON: Split? The one about that guy with multiple personalities? That’s a pretty grown-up movie for twelve-year-olds.

JORDYN PETIT: I guess.

OFFICER WILSON: You watched a movie and then what?

JORDYN PETIT: Nothing, really. Just sat in Cora’s room and talked. Then we went to bed.

OFFICER WILSON: What time was this?

JORDYN PETIT: Midnight, I think.

OFFICER WILSON: Then what?

JORDYN PETIT: We couldn’t fall asleep and were bored. We decided to go for a walk.

OFFICER WILSON: What time was this?

JORDYN PETIT: I don’t know. Late.
