You will not get in trouble!!! In fact, you should not talk to any investigator. They are attempting to gather more evidence against you, in hopes that they can get an admission.
Never talk to an investigator/police. Retain an attorney and take his advice. Your attorney will talk to the people that need to be talked to on your behalf.
Hope this helps.
