/
Chapter 12 / 27
Chapter 12 - TRENT’S VERSIONTrent denied asking Diane to hide him.
“She worries.”
He claimed.
“She insisted I stay.”
He admitted using the basement for eight nights.
Eight.
Not two visits.
Why?
He had lost his sober-living placement after violating rules.
He had an active warrant for failure to appear.
He did not want Caleb to know because:
“Caleb thinks I’m poison.”
Had he spoken with Maya?
“Yes.”
Did he tell her not to tell Caleb?
“Yes.”
“Why?”
“Because Caleb would freak out.”
Did he threaten her?
“No.
Evidence supported that answer.
Did he know Diane put Maya outside?
His face changed.
“No.”
Did he hear the whistle?
“Yes.”
“What did you do?”
“Left.”
“Why?”
“Police were coming.”
“Did you check whether Maya was safe?”
“No.”
There.
