Interrogation Room B. Detective Blackmon: Did you know that you were being sought in regards to the disappearance of your fiancée? Is that why you were on the run? Charlotte Brooks: I didn’t know any of that. When I left Charleston, I wasn’t under investigation. If I were, I wouldn’t have left. My father didn’t raise me to evade the authorities. Blackmon: Yes. Your father. A criminal defense attorney. Care to explain that? Brooks: (flatly) My father’s career choice is why I’m being detained? I’ve not passed the bar, but I’m pretty sure that’s against the law. Blackmon: Where were you two weeks ago? Brooks: EJ and I were in Santa Fe. Why? Blackmon: Tell me about your time there. Brooks: (Silence) Blackmon: Something to hide, ma’am? Brooks: Not at all. But I’m tired. I’ve been here since four am. I’m hungry, and I want to know if I’m being charged. I want to know where the fuck EJ is. Blackmon: She hasn’t been brought in. Brooks: (laughing) Of course she hasn’t.
