​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.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJrnSI6jZo
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtBB8Ik7nD
“Then who had something to do with it, Amy?”826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkHCCJDpfj
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pKKX3HhyF
“If I knew I would have told you.”826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbajJvA3KE
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONzKkZ2h8d
“So…You are saying you knew nothing about this murder?”826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpwbiFDRTC
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4LRKtlELh
“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.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54wzw3cghU
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTbcfza8sl
“If anything, you were trying to knock the poisoned drink out of her hands. How did you know?”826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwqViNijaD
I was horrified. How could I admit…826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmATNWg9me
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoSCcGWG7M
“I didn’t…” I blurted out. “It was an accident.”826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPShKG8u9SL
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxIkIllMdQ
“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.”826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyKLMW1oDS
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGA4TaUOphW
“He’s lying.”  I said. “He and I are not in the best of terms.”826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHs1ZFLNkBI
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwQ7J9atyr
“And why is that?”826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYeqlUdJP4
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07zaYLEI1E
“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…”826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaUrKXv7nj
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVe6R3ZLcS
“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.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemECBzph5Q
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtin9xc79e
“Nancy wouldn’t kill anyone…And…We…I mean she doesn’t want to be my friend anymore.”826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4X65HLCReS
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3JTv2tqA3
The Inspector raised an eyebrow. “Hasn’t forgiven you for seeing through him, huh?”826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZohWjdClGG
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLuaw9aflg
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?”826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixvCUSQQ3j
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rZ22pKTtE
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?”826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEHEPHtE59
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwuoKCsKid
“It was an accident.”826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiWA5xs62Q
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIK6CEV4Bm
“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…”826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUiKiisryl
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6M31XD2eJ
“I am speaking the truth…I don’t know. I honestly don’t know anything about the murder.”826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlpERNYBSv
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpQSE6NClE
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…”826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56G1uM80dR
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiE385w4gUD
​“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.”826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGKk8DFAoh
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSmWGCHMsK
The Inspector didn’t back away but leaned closer and said. “Unless you start telling the truth…I will happily do just that.”826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwZvfm4o4B
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDz8WDlPfon
“What if I give you a certain truth the manager of this school wants to hide?”826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yfucr0rS6
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQY5AwYCnf
This time the Inspector backed off. He glanced at me for a while and said. “What is this so called truth?”826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwH03nPyqAx
“There was an incident in this school 2 weeks ago. Jolly…She was in the centre of it all.”826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhHYPxwTUd
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBalVESiXMs
“Interesting…”826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Hf6XBEFcv
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDwb8SiS3c
“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…”826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8t9Gg3IDA6
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAY7uyINSzb
“Jolly…”826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFcoEkECGr
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zBtAh280W
“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…“826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBa2dfKGO0
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCrTHmf0CG
“People believed her?”826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvflxjfOno
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBvjWAgh0G
“Jolly has a reputation of being the good girl. Except some of us…”826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hUkVeFBY7
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTJ7UNSiEV
“How does your manager factor into this story?”826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHSgj9RXcx
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPqTRad5wh
“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.”826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHW1nkWYni
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfl4IS7IBiG
“And why would he do such a thing?”826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWoH3skb5a
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTrpbindf1
​“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…”826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsN3NEvFVK
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcu4EJ7H9L
“The Incident in the Physics lab happens.”826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoo6twM7Si
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWf5HmtFCn
“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…”826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BXKWVmLS8
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrGYxnzvWi
“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.”826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLlUqvM7Ms
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMwQcuqdaO
“Michel Sir said he’d expel anyone who tells you this story.”826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvcU7zpxC5
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQyWcIhEiS
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.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUSm8TdYvX
