As months go by and Fall is still missing the leading officer in her case begins to spend a lot of time interrogating Noel. At first Noel is cautious of what he says and how he acts. At first he attempts to portray the image of someone who lost a dear friend and is worried of the well being of Julius, but as the interviews increase in frequency, his jealousy becomes extremely prevalent. Noel begins to tell the officer that he believes that Julius may have had something to do with Falls disappearance and claims that Fall was scared of Julius and Julius made her do things that she did not want to. The officer listens to Noel's claims then mentions that they have found the letter Fall wrote to Julius, saying to meet her on the day of her disappearance, hidden in Noel's things. The officer begins to question Noel as a suspect instead of an innocent bystander. "I'm not hiding anything. I just wonder what he thinks of my having the note. Did you let him read it? I'm sorry I never let him read it. Your sorry? Tell me why you had the note." (McAdam 334).
Noel is so confident with himself that he does not hesitate to talk to the officer, he believes himself to be more intelligent than everyone involved, that he is untouchable. This cockiness is what causes him to get caught with the letter that ties him to Falls disappearance and makes him a lead suspect. I believe that this will lead him to either be arrested for the death of Fall or that he will act violently towards Julius, and blame Julius for everything that has occurred.
