His friend's cousin knew what happen that day of the murder, and he was the only one who could prove Peter Duffy guilty of murdering his wife. Although, there was one problem. This witness had been an illegal immigrant from El Salvador, and Theo was sworn secrecy of the whole case. What could a thirteen-year old boy do? Well, if he doesn't bring the witness in, a man will not have to suffer for his crimes, but if he brings the witness in, the immigrant might have to go to jail, and could be shipped back to El Salvador.
