You Hit My Heart (Joyce and Luther) novel Chapter 186

Karl took out his log book and and pen. Then he looked at his watch and said to Juanita, "I have things to take care of, so hurry up and tell me what you know, in detail."

Juanita sat in the seat across from him and grunted, "That's the kind of professional ethic you need."

"Let's get started." Karl raised his long eyelashes slightly, ready to record.

"No coffee?" Juanita looked up and around and questioned, "I see that other police officers have offered coffee, or tea, to the people being questioned. That's not very good service from you. We're all taxpayers."

Karl took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. He stood up, went to the coffee machine and made a cup of instant coffee, walked back and put it in front of Juanita, "Okay? Can we start now?"

Juanita's soulful eyes cooed around, pretending to take two sips and began, "Today Joyce went to R&S Group headquarters for her work, and she arrived at the office around 11:00 am. This is the extra work arranged by Casey. I had nothing to do, so I went to the group to accompany her. By 4:00 pm, Joyce finished the work at hand. She said she was going to the supermarket today to buy groceries and go home to make dinner for grandma. So she let me go first."

She paused and thought back, "About half an hour or so later, I was shopping and suddenly got a call from Joyce. She said she was too late to explain, and she had returned to the Warner family. She said I should wait about 20 minutes, and if she called me within 20 minutes, it meant she was fine. If she went beyond that time, she told me to call the police. When I didn't hear from her, I called the police."

Karl was typing rapidly into the computer, taking notes.
