Why Would He Do That!?

Maria swallowed before she looked around her like she was expecting something to jump out at any moment and kill her. She looked towards Tina warily, and Turner promised her that Tina was safe. She wouldn't hurt her. Maria finally nodded and then spoke up.

"The murders that you came to investigate. The two students who were killed. I… I know who did it. He told me to expose it, or he would kill my mother."

Tina stopped in the middle of taking a bite out of her sandwich, and her eyes immediately narrowed into a glare as she focused properly on what they were talking about. This was the last thing that she expected to hear when she came in here. Maria knew who the murderer was? Even though Tina wasn't taking this investigation as seriously as Turner, that did not mean she didn't want to complete the mission. She was just less motivated since she was distracted by Mark. But once she heard that Maria knew who it was, she was immediately invested!
