“My friends had nothing to do with this.”752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fiaSUq1EC

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.752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LkUD7vE3y
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyUPYIZ1S2
“Then who had something to do with it, Amy?”752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuL2xDsaoa
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2x5fdPPimp
“If I knew I would have told you.”752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9ouJjZ6Sd
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIQNW5LDYT
“So…You are saying you knew nothing about this murder?”752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFL4OMmoDUx
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ykapYOx4H
“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.752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbecXBewWd
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvWkWXNhTy
“If anything, you were trying to knock the poisoned drink out of her hands. How did you know?”752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGo4EzYgrw
I was horrified. How could I admit…752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyIJQDfwHO
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKnxkBbp1X
“I didn’t…” I blurted out. “It was an accident.”752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJjTaYTfOn
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJropMRQa9E
“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.”752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbP6mEn3De
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonMBW8jfVQ
“He’s lying.” I said. “He and I are not in the best of terms.”752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvt2qZedfrC
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbm7p4Bvv8U
“And why is that?”752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVJB8C8ceO
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4Y6i2JxkV
“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…”752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRzKVoYe2p
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYOUDYQcAO
“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.752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzDBaFAmdB
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh248F4E2Ct
“Nancy wouldn’t kill anyone…And…We…I mean she doesn’t want to be my friend anymore.”752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GbVafH1KH
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmJaLkERll
The Inspector raised an eyebrow. “Hasn’t forgiven you for seeing through him, huh?”752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7a99PmBt2
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XkD516Rg0
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?”752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9nt7OazTf
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoysutX3G8J
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?”752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2O7Gs7XdE
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmTgU5fOlc
“It was an accident.”752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iGq7Xi3dQ
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqwNuBBJs2
“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…”752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3EZjIqXtG
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Q4LIjGmKL
“I am speaking the truth…I don’t know. I honestly don’t know anything about the murder.”752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalfHhSo9F7
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvq8bLMC11m
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…”752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02s8y6GodY
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZfeEYEAdd
“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.”752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyM15IFmLXv
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEpcaXFvTX
The Inspector didn’t back away but leaned closer and said. “Unless you start telling the truth…I will happily do just that.”752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNL4Z1cfsL
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHldhNY36Rt
“What if I give you a certain truth the manager of this school wants to hide?”752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7TRMWOoOi
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyy0SyY3YL
This time the Inspector backed off. He glanced at me for a while and said. “What is this so called truth?”752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FqZHphT22
“There was an incident in this school 2 weeks ago. Jolly…She was in the centre of it all.”752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTQH1MP2in
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQu5jekJnPM
“Interesting…”752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBS0CCm8lL
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFQYlXws2E
“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…”752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFY4woTdjy5
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulMiKyAkt2
“Jolly…”752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFCKiH1xvM
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTzhPZSRfy
“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…“752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumcJl6vykU
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHtFwfCcuG
“People believed her?”752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1dTJC33vz
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtdNeXAwBt
“Jolly has a reputation of being the good girl. Except some of us…”752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRh5hRkI3jA
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBPxmtAyir
“How does your manager factor into this story?”752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokQq2N34JN
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0slWBJ1eq
“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.”752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yjOIt60sw
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlT9TIaSlf
“And why would he do such a thing?”752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFmRwX4YYu
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwoipZAsgW
“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…”752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhsrGC8tfd
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucIi8pvN4O
“The Incident in the Physics lab happens.”752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpns0ZPji4
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHIU1gY5Nw
“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…”752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmnsPrFiCg
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgj9m8D6Wz
“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.”752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIr2Fvv6Zl
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMVGaq7ILE
“Michel Sir said he’d expel anyone who tells you this story.”752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVH6ouGUfyR
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcRmfrF06u
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.752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6hABbjLbc
