In a small interrogation room, a detective sits across from a 17-year-old girl who has just given birth four months earlier. He is not there about the gun deal she half-admits to—a black box handed over in a parking lot, a moment she says she laughed off because she thought the seller was joking. The detective is there about a murder. A mother was shot and killed in front of her own daughter at a gas station. And he has video.

The girl initially offers a thin story: she was just trying to buy a gun for herself, nothing serious happened, she went home afterward. But the detective has already placed her white car at the scene. He describes its distinctive modification—a two-tone paint job with a dark top and gold trim, what he calls "Hombre." He tells her he has footage of the car at the gas station on March 25th, a Friday night, with a driver whose hair matches hers. He knows she was not alone. He knows she got into another car afterward and that someone else drove her vehicle away.
