  she   reached   for   the   door,   holding   her   coffee   cup   up   against   her   chest   as   she   peered   out   into   the   dreary   night.   she   instantly   noticed   that   it   was   the  town's   sheriff,   dressed   in   his   uniform   ---   only   meaning   one   thing,   he's  on  duty.   but   the   brunette   began   to   wonder   WHY   was   he   here   ?   so   she   did   what   any   skeptical   femme   would   do   ;  

❛  what   can   i   help   you   with   officer   rogers   ?   ❜    the   girl   questioned,   an   eyebrow   arching   as   she   was   genuinely   curious   as   to   why   an   officer   was   standing   at   her   door   step   in   the   first   place.

❛   just   here   to   ask   a   few   questions,   miss   jensen.  ❜    officer   rogers   reassured,   taking   out   a   notepad   to   take   notes   of   their   conversation.

eloise   nodded   sheepishly,   gesturing   for   him   to   step   inside   her   home.   as   the   two   walked   into   her   room   she   sat   at   the   table   taking   a   quick   sip   of   her   coffee.   she   knew   what   this   conversation   was   going   to   lead   too,   because   she   had   heard   from   a   few   people   that   the   sheriff   was   going   around   conducting   interviews.   but   what   she   was   confused   about   was   WHY  he   was   interviewing   her   ?    ❛    yes   of   course.  ❜   she   stated   simply.

[   OFFICER   ROGERS   ]   :   i   have   a   few   witnesses   that   have   come   up   stating   that   you   &   faye   no   longer   got   along  ?   can   you   explain   why   ?

[   ELOISE   JENSEN   ]   :   faye   &   i   were   really   good   friends   in   high   school,   however   i   wouldn't   go   as   far   as   saying   that   we   no   longer   got   along.   we   just   aren't   friends   anymore.   we're   civil.   just   not   speaking   i   guess   ?

he   nods   swiftly,   taking   a   quick   note   of   what   she   had   just   stated.

[   OFFICER   ROGERS   ]   :      when   was   the   last   time   you   spoke   to   miss   nguyen   ?

[   ELOISE   JENSEN   ]   :   oh   gosh,   it's   been   a   while.   i   think   the   last   time   i've   had   an   actual   conversation   with   her   was   a   few   months   ago   when   we   ran   into   each   other   at   the   mini   mart.   she   was   buying   a   bunch   of   groceries   for   a   party   she   was   throwing   for   a   friend   of   hers.   it   was   just   a   basic   conversation.  

[   OFFICER   ROGERS   ]   :      were   you   invited   to   this   said   party  ?

[   ELOISE   JENSEN   ]   :   as   stated   before,   we   weren't   friends.   so   no,   i   was   not   invited.

again,   rogers   nods   before   bringing   the   pen   to   his   teeth   &   biting   down   on   the   cap,   obviously   frustrated   that   this   conversation   was   getting   him   absolutely   no   information.

[   OFFICER   ROGERS   ]   :     you   were   friends   with   miss   moore   correct   ?

eloise   takes   a   deep   breath,   her   heart   aching   at   her   name   being   brought   up.   because   yes,   she   was   still   acquainted   with   sybil.

[   ELOISE   JENSEN   ]   :   yes   sir,   sybil   &   i   were   really   good   friends.  

[   OFFICER   ROGERS   ]   :      when   was   the   last   time   you   spoke   with   miss   moore   ?

[   ELOISE   JENSEN   ]   :   the   night   before   she   went   missing,   we   were   making   plans   to   meet   up   &   get   some   coffee.   she   was   going   to   help   me   with   a   piece   i   was   writing.

[   OFFICER   ROGERS   ]   :      did   you   &   miss   moore   end   up   meeting   up   that   night   ?

she   heaved   a   sigh,   shaking   her   head   before   bringing   her   hands   to   her   hair,   straightening   it   out   as   she   grew   more   upset.

[   ELOISE   JENSEN   ]   :   no,   i   couldn't   get   ahold   of   her   during   the   time   where   we   were   supposed   to   meet   up.   so   i   ended   up   going   into   work   &   just   working   on   the   piece   myself.

[   OFFICER   ROGERS   ]   :      what   were   you   writing   about   ?

[   ELOISE   JENSEN   ]   :   a   piece   on   the   local   shelter,   i   wanted   to   showcase   the   available   animals   that   were   available   for   adoption.   she   was   going   to   help   me   out   by   answering   a   few   questions   as   she   had   adopted   an   animal   from   there   a   few   years   ago.  

he   begins   writing   in   his   notepad,   something   that   normally   would   annoy   her   but   she   understood   the   situation  &   understood   that   he   was   trying   to   get   to   the   bottom   of   the   missing   girls.

[   OFFICER   ROGERS   ]   :      when   was   the   last   time   you've   heard   from   any   of   the   girls   ?

[   ELOISE   JENSEN   ]   :   well,   i   honestly   can't   recall   hearing   from   tatum   ?   but   the   other's   we've   already   spoken   about.   it's   been   a   while   since   i've   heard   or   talked   to   any   of   them,   especially   with   them   being   missing   &   all.  

[   ROGERS   ]   :   thank   you   for   your   time,   miss   jensen.   i'll   be   back   if   i   have   any   further   questions.   have   yourself   a   wonderful   night.
