My mind screamed as I looked at her convulsed face. Her brilliant blue eyes were wide open, terror frozen in their glassy depths. Uniformed policemen were casually referring to her as the victim or the body. I wanted to shout at them…tell them it was not ‘the body’ or the ‘victim’. It was Pinky. Jolly’s little sister…Little Pinky…692Please respect copyright.PENANAK8kuoaGlVF

“Move!”692Please respect copyright.PENANAFxjJUSC2gA

A sharp voice exclaimed. As I moved away from the overcrowded doorway of the shop, I noticed that a new police car had just arrived.692Please respect copyright.PENANAzH9zXfMy3n
692Please respect copyright.PENANA9U2ykTKF0s
“The Inspector is here.” A policeman snapped.692Please respect copyright.PENANA8MUKIEc3Ni

Out of the car stepped a giant of a man. He must be well over 6 feet, I mused as he walked by me. Taller than almost everyone gathered over there. Ridiculously well built. His eyes, tiny, bloodshot slits, threw hard stares at the crowd as he talked to a young boyish looking policeman.692Please respect copyright.PENANAGcK3ejo24I

“Inspector Vikram…” A small voice spoke from the corner.692Please respect copyright.PENANARaIx7CWjKY

A man, shaking from head to toe was crouched there. He was staring at the Inspector through frightened eyes rather like a deer caught in a trap.692Please respect copyright.PENANAef4q3ZtC8g

“What’s up with Jo?” Jenny whispered.692Please respect copyright.PENANAOQy4UWvSVm

Anyone who knew the charming owner of Urban Beauty would have asked the same thing. But I knew. I knew because the voice had been muttering in my ears. All those people around me…They were thinking terrible things about Joseph. He was withering in their accusing glances…And the Inspector…All colour had drained from Jo’s face at the sight of the man.692Please respect copyright.PENANAlNfOdePLTV

“Joseph?” The Inspector exclaimed. His slit eyes narrowed dangerously.692Please respect copyright.PENANA52jIvKkLZO
692Please respect copyright.PENANAplcpotvCb8
“It wasn’t me…”692Please respect copyright.PENANAPdSIN9EQk0

“No confession this time, huh?” The Inspector said coldly.692Please respect copyright.PENANAELr1tHUkzB
692Please respect copyright.PENANA3lqwgMiPJn
It took a while for the significance of those words to sink in. The people murmured angrily. Most of them seemed to have decided that Joseph was the killer. I heard the voice again, loud and clear.692Please respect copyright.PENANAnLgCxrZOAY

“It wasn’t me…” It yelled. “Not this time…”692Please respect copyright.PENANAj3lPMJhPpy
