“My friends had nothing to do with this.”759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkYSQ8GJgF
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxi3rtsnPib
It seemed an eternity after the Inspector last spoke. But the clock on the wall told me it had only been 5 minutes. The ugly smile was still pasted on his face. He was waiting…Waiting for me to say something unfortunate.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uPZ0SkwLn
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaf65g1S9s
“Then who had something to do with it, Amy?”759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLFlNWnGU8
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHJjvHqyZ0
“If I knew I would have told you.”759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOBL0J9q0I
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRN0wPspQYX
“So…You are saying you knew nothing about this murder?”759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JgupLCQ5q
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8lfzoxjbN
“Yes…” The moment the word left my mouth, the Inspector’s face lit up. His eyes danced with excitement as he talked in length about me hanging around backstage.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfgmdrMVKx
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUFuir3zi0
“If anything, you were trying to knock the poisoned drink out of her hands. How did you know?”759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kU7wyG76B
I was horrified. How could I admit…759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7FZsK3Rmh
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyqufdOCii
“I didn’t…” I blurted out. “It was an accident.”759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyuA3pTcNz
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7YXUQomse
“Lawrence has already given his statement. He clearly says it was a deliberately done. I may not believe his wild claims but I have no reason to believe he’s lying about the facts.”759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaopPbdpKBj
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHkeqyS9uA
“He’s lying.” I said. “He and I are not in the best of terms.”759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEsdVAuskE
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YePnl0vpJ
“And why is that?”759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaQP10uPKr
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYn0WLorQz
“Nancy…She and Lawrence were…I didn’t like him. I tried to talk Nancy out of it but she wouldn’t listen. Then after her accident…”759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXP9IUcRuq
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73zpPM2a4A
“His affections transferred from your friend to Jolly.” The Inspector finished. The implication of what I said hit me almost at once. I had handed him a sword to strike Nancy.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5o1EZnXm6
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pvjOK2EOH
“Nancy wouldn’t kill anyone…And…We…I mean she doesn’t want to be my friend anymore.”759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfylitENzMb
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiglzfRoyfK
The Inspector raised an eyebrow. “Hasn’t forgiven you for seeing through him, huh?”759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9QMMR8pbL
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRBqmzzP4n
I nodded. “I know Nancy. She may have a hot temper but she would never ever resort to murder. Besides…Sir…Would anyone really murder over high school stuff?”759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dobBjK3CL
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUMwubr3kT
The Inspector laughed. The first non-malicious laughter I heard from him. “Girl…” He said. “I have seen murder and manslaughter happen for smaller reasons than high school drama.” Then in a more serious tone he added. “The best case scenario for you is that you somehow found out about the murder and was trying to stop it. But why didn’t you tell anyone instead of trying to clumsily knock the drink from her hand?”759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQqhESanCD
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEfPRGyN2Y
“It was an accident.”759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFRDv0OsJ8
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOldCKTJIK
“The worst case scenario is that you aided one or both of your friends to commit murder…Either way…If you don’t start speaking the truth…”759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKMy4NEDYd
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEgLj4SoXY
“I am speaking the truth…I don’t know. I honestly don’t know anything about the murder.”759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96efIYas5v
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3U6Tkq5M31
The Inspector stood up and walked round the desk towards me. “I am only glad to put you away for the worst case scenario.” He whispered threateningly. “Just give me a reason…”759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWtDSeQX31
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJROZ6qo2eW
“I didn’t do it. “ I said. My heart was pounding rapidly inside my chest. Coherent thoughts evaded my brain. “If you want to arrest me because you have a grudge against Dad…fine. Do it.”759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgq1NAPvKgN
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nbiNHmfU6
The Inspector didn’t back away but leaned closer and said. “Unless you start telling the truth…I will happily do just that.”759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdh0vR3an8
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEruyKV43Tz
“What if I give you a certain truth the manager of this school wants to hide?”759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QFONuct3V
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzb7Hqk1Wvy
This time the Inspector backed off. He glanced at me for a while and said. “What is this so called truth?”759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZIkNXzd4L
“There was an incident in this school 2 weeks ago. Jolly…She was in the centre of it all.”759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4eGGtUBB8
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNB1kp4FRr
“Interesting…”759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpsogxVowl
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1D6wWPlLM
“Our Physics Master, Roy Sir, and Mathematics Teacher, Linda Madam, were locked inside the Physics lab during lunch break. The one who locked them in was…”759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6AiMhDGWT
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCpQGolqkv
“Jolly…”759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JMZeyQomC
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbX8mx0I5lz
“Yes, Sir. The Physics lab is on the topmost floor, isolated from the rest of the school. Jolly…she…The things she accused them of in front of the whole school was downright disgusting….She was lying...but…“759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtb9b1uKKNj
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5ku49xyYe
“People believed her?”759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0vdlpGoUt
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiarpIZxmD
“Jolly has a reputation of being the good girl. Except some of us…”759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLd6AVtnJni
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1Jo8I9ANY
“How does your manager factor into this story?”759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BD9bIP6DY
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziVRq1iNQr
“He put her up to it. There is a reason Jolly got picked for scholarship and won nearly all the prizes for the youth festival. Also…Her father is the manager’s dear friend.”759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZTVDGpRXo
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqGQgy8bOo
“And why would he do such a thing?”759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmyB5y22xY
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMOB2xjwxz
“Linda Madam…” I said slowly. “He…She told her brother, Benjamin Sir, about how he was stalking her and harassing her. There was a huge fight in the school office and…almost 3 days later…”759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslpsnNKEVM
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAOay5D3e3
“The Incident in the Physics lab happens.”759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZJvV8ukNS
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKYqBdvyKb
“After that…Jo from the shop came and attacked Roy Sir, claiming to be Linda Madam’s lover.” I saw the Inspector frown but he did not interrupt me. “Then we heard that Roy Sir’s wife left him and…”759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKA2fEWxOB
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgG4yUqDrJa
“Looks like the girl had plenty of people around her who would willingly cut her throat.” He mumbled, darkly. Then, looking at me, he said. “Girl…You have been more than helpful to me today.”759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYkmhKfh9w
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XyydLkpH9
“Michel Sir said he’d expel anyone who tells you this story.”759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpEBJpzcPn
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWAe0qVNBH
The Inspector’s expression darkened. “I wouldn’t worry too much about that if I were you.” He said. There was a hint of a smile on his face.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfIwQwiegM
