No One Can Know: A Novel

On the way to Chris’s office in the present day, Emma tells JJ she is not convinced JJ killed their parents, since JJ only remembers holding the gun. At the office, Chris tells Emma that forensics ruled that the gun that killed Nathan was the same one used to kill the Palmer. This casts Emma in suspicious light. The police want to arrest her, but Chris has arranged for her to surrender herself the next morning. When Emma tells Chris her suspicion that Randolph was running a robbery-cartel, he recalls that Chief Ellis was on the task force investigating the robberies. There was speculation that someone from the task force was feeding information to the thieves.

Hadley, in his police car, intercepts JJ and Emma on their way back home. He tells Emma there is a warrant for her arrest and orders her out of the car. Emma gets out, telling Hadley about Chris’s arrangement for her to surrender herself. She asks what Hadley really wants from her. She knows all about the flash drive and Randolph’s robbery ring. Hadley, startled, asks Emma to give him the drive. Emma realizes she should not have told him about the drive.
