On the other side, Evan Keller looked at the young man sitting across from him. He tapped his fingers on the table and said, "Tell me everything you know. Also, tell me where you put the laptop you helped Dr. Jennings destroy."
The young man kept his head down, not saying a word. His fingers rested on the table, fidgeting nervously.
Evan didn't rush him. Instead, he changed his approach. "You have to understand that compared to Dr. Jennings and his accomplice, your crime isn't all that serious. If you come clean right now and tell us everything truthfully, you might even get a lighter sentence, maybe even probation.
"But if you stay tight-lipped, insisting you know nothing and refusing to cooperate with the police investigation, the judge will throw the book at you. You'll only be hurting yourself."
The young man's fidgeting fingers suddenly froze, but he still didn't speak.
