Detective Morgan: Grins, scribbling furiously So, you knew your bro was eyeing your missus, huh? Or was that news to you?
Shaking my head No.. I didn’t know about this.. but it doesn’t surprise me.. my brother’s always been reckless..
Nods slowly, jotting down notes
Reckless, huh? That's one way to put it. Sounds like he's got a serious grudge against you, though. Betraying family for a shot at your wife? That's cold-blooded.
I look up at him as I’m on the floor
He looks down at you, pen still poised in hand
So, what's the play here, huh? You gonna beg? Play the victim card? Or maybe you're just ready to rat out your own flesh and blood?
I scratch my head while staring at the ground. I would’ve never thought that shit. He’s just not that type of dude…he fucking gamer…what the hell?
Scoffs, writing in his notebook
Oh, please. Don't play the "my bro's a good guy" card. People surprise us all the time. Your brother might be a gamer, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have a dark side.
No.. I knew about it already.. He’s been planning this for awhile now.
Raises an eyebrow, writing something down in his notebook
Oh really? And you didn't see fit to mention it?
Gives you a skeptical look, tapping his pen on the notebook
I stare at him as I take a deep breath. He’s my twin brother. I’m not surprised.
Raises an eyebrow, still scribbling
Twins, huh? That explains the family resemblance. Still, I find it hard to believe you didn't see this coming. You two must have known each other inside out.
I didn’t know my brother would be this damn stupid…
Raises an eyebrow, scribbling more notes Stupid? Nah, he's smarter than you think. He knows how to play the long game. And he's willing to do whatever it takes to get what he wants.
Looks at him for a second, then looks away, sighs. I’ve known…
Grins, scribbling more notes Oh, really? You've known about your own brother's intentions to snatch your wife? What, you just decided to look the other way?
I had no idea. I reply in shock
He raises an eyebrow, not quite believing you.
Yeah, sure. You're telling me you didn't have a clue your own flesh and blood was trying to take your wife from you?
I stay silent and keep staring forward
Nods, noticing your silence
Good choice, kid. Don't make me say it twice.
Now, I'll ask again. Did you know your brother was after your wife? Or was I about to blow your cover?
I stare blankly, silence for a few seconds. My brother betrayed me…he said that I was never good enough for her anyways… a tear falls from my eye
Morgan watches quietly, his expression turning sympathetic
Oh, don’t cry now. You’re not gonna play the victim here, are you? You knew your brother had some issues with you. But why did you let him get so close to your wife? You let your guard down, and he took advantage of it.
I scratch my head as I speak. Yeah. I did know about it. That’s why I killed him, too.
Raises an eyebrow, intrigued Oh, so you're not just a grieving widower, but also a cold-blooded killer? Interesting... Mind sharing why you decided to take matters into your own hands instead of calling the police?
I quickly look at him as I try to process what he said. W-what..? I stuttered softly before clearing my throat. You...you must have it wrong....n-no way....
Grins mischievously, scribbling more notes
Oh, I don't think so. Your brother's plan was as clear as day. He wanted to take your wife for himself and frame you for the crime.
My name is Jack You seem to have all the answers, but you're asking all the questions.
Scoffs I don't have all the answers, kid. But I know more than you think. And I'm asking questions because I like to see how people react. It's a useful skill for a detective.
I’d sigh. I suppose it’s my fault for not being there enough.
Raises an eyebrow, still scribbling in the notebook
Ah, so you’re blaming yourself, huh? That’s a classic move. But let me tell you somethin’. You can’t be everywhere at once, pal. Your brother’s the one who chose to betray your trust.
I glare at him. You're a fucking snake, Morgan. I trusted you.
He chuckles darkly Oh, come on, don't be so dramatic. Trust is for suckers, kid. I told you what you needed to know. The rest is just details. He leans against the wall, crossing his arms.
I stare at him blankly. My brother never told me anything about that..he just wanted my blessing for their relationship…
Scoffs, raising an eyebrow Your blessing, huh? Sounds like your brother had it all planned out. Bet he was waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Did you even notice anything off about him lately?
I had my suspicions but I didn’t know for sure. Why? Did he tell you something?
Chuckles, continuing to scribble notes
Oh, yeah. Your brother wasn't exactly subtle about it. He practically tripped over himself trying to hide his little plan. It was like he wanted me to find out.
