As I was trying to remember where I had seen that face, we reached Target. Me and everyone else stepped out of the car while Ryan's father accompanied Elise to park the car.

"So do we have the entire list ready?" Derek asked as he looked at Maya and Ryan and they both nodded as Maya said "Yes...we also received an additional list for his Aunt May's recipe."

As we were talking, Ryan looked at his father's car which had stopped midway and said "What are they doing stopping in the middle? Weren't they going to park. As he was about to walk toward's the car, Elise peeked out from the window and shouted "Ryan, Jared...can the two of you come here?"

Ryan looked at me wondering what it was about but I was clueless myself so I just shrugged and we started walking toward the car. As we were walking, Ryan's father stepped out of the car and shouted "Maya...you and Derek go inside for shopping. We 4 need to do something else...we will be back in an hour or two. Maya and Derek felt it was a bit odd but they didn't question much and went inside.

As I and Ryan reached the car, I asked Elise "Is something the matter Miss Elise?"

Elise nodded and said "I will tell you on the way...for now get inside...we are going to the precinct."

"The Precinct?" Ryan asked with a shocked expression but his father assured him "There is nothing to worry Ryan. The two of you have done nothing wrong. Get inside the car for now...I will tell you on the way."

Without wasting much time we got in the car and the car drove towards the precinct. After a few seconds, Ryan's father turned back towards us and said "Do you remember the man who you and Jared almost got in a fight with outside your school?"

Ryan nodded and said "Don't tell me that guy filed a police complaint because I was riding a motor cycle?" I was a little relieved to hear this and expected the tense atmostphere to become a little light but Ryan's father still had a serious expression on his face as he said "No Ryan...the man was found murdered just a few minutes ago near a construction site. Now, I am going to the crime scene to investigate while you two will be going to the precinct to give a statement. Tell everything honestly as it happened...it is just procedure since we are the last people who saw that guy alive."

"WHAT???...Murdered?" Ryan and I were both shocked at this. The boring day that I was complaining about since the past few hours had just gotten interesting but it seemed like a overkill now.

"How did it happen?" I asked curiously to which Ryan's father shook his head and said "I don't know much for now...I can't say anything without investigating myself." He then looked at his partner and said "Drop me at the intersection Elise...I will go from there...you take the kids to the precinct."

Elise whose eyes were on the road the whole time nodded and said "Don't worry about them...they are my responsibility. The case will most likely be transferred to some other detectives since we have obvious conflict of interest here. I'll take the statements from these two and then drop them off at your house. Call me if you need help." She then parked the car to the side of the road.

For the next few minutes, there was absolute silence in the car...Ryan looked a bit shaken up after hearing the news. For me all this was an everyday thing so I didn't react much.

As we reached the precinct, Elise instructed something to a cop standing outside. She then looked at us through the rearview mirror and said "He will take the two of you inside the precinct and get you two settled down. I will be up in a few minutes. Gotta have a word with the captain."
