“My friends had nothing to do with this.”774Please respect copyright.PENANABYo0dHLEag
774Please respect copyright.PENANAVlZjsaWWW2
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.774Please respect copyright.PENANAkn5dNSmDie
774Please respect copyright.PENANA2KPjBeiWGD
“Then who had something to do with it, Amy?”774Please respect copyright.PENANAwYjluiNPWZ
774Please respect copyright.PENANAa3euSQI1pw
“If I knew I would have told you.”774Please respect copyright.PENANARff0fW5pdr
774Please respect copyright.PENANAhXtHiO7Y1E
“So…You are saying you knew nothing about this murder?”774Please respect copyright.PENANAa1F1vs4GB1
774Please respect copyright.PENANAx9a2ol0rBR
“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.774Please respect copyright.PENANA2h4oqw4erU
774Please respect copyright.PENANApemj0rd4cW
“If anything, you were trying to knock the poisoned drink out of her hands. How did you know?”774Please respect copyright.PENANAYuFzZwoFQh
I was horrified. How could I admit…774Please respect copyright.PENANAQNohqyuVJ2
774Please respect copyright.PENANAAyjMGeJwaq
“I didn’t…” I blurted out. “It was an accident.”774Please respect copyright.PENANAzmBgunZ7Om
774Please respect copyright.PENANACEILYpW50I
“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.”774Please respect copyright.PENANAArLxzzC1wL
774Please respect copyright.PENANAMszxu5zBOD
“He’s lying.” I said. “He and I are not in the best of terms.”774Please respect copyright.PENANACIF4ww5jcD
774Please respect copyright.PENANATTPfiuooNK
“And why is that?”774Please respect copyright.PENANAcN3uH66As1
774Please respect copyright.PENANAZCMqutDpV6
“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…”774Please respect copyright.PENANAdJmvSMuaIm
774Please respect copyright.PENANAlJwoYK61c3
“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.774Please respect copyright.PENANAfQndPEkdTY
774Please respect copyright.PENANAXIxoTzm6TP
“Nancy wouldn’t kill anyone…And…We…I mean she doesn’t want to be my friend anymore.”774Please respect copyright.PENANA5WJQ0u10E2
774Please respect copyright.PENANAe1pkp2F6qd
The Inspector raised an eyebrow. “Hasn’t forgiven you for seeing through him, huh?”774Please respect copyright.PENANAbmC3Cv9BY7
774Please respect copyright.PENANAqECpISMIaT
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?”774Please respect copyright.PENANA1GNBQRCNE8
774Please respect copyright.PENANAuhlcKCy0Gt
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?”774Please respect copyright.PENANAn2TSNhbQzZ
774Please respect copyright.PENANAH3KDyRkqeQ
“It was an accident.”774Please respect copyright.PENANAhKKu9r1Szk
774Please respect copyright.PENANAeNcXZ38v0A
“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…”774Please respect copyright.PENANATssTajJTh3
774Please respect copyright.PENANAHyplfNok2G
“I am speaking the truth…I don’t know. I honestly don’t know anything about the murder.”774Please respect copyright.PENANApGFb1Fxi2u
774Please respect copyright.PENANABf1Og6OiWy
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…”774Please respect copyright.PENANAJHk36UH9Yz
774Please respect copyright.PENANAtW8HSfxHOO
“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.”774Please respect copyright.PENANAu3n9PcUJNk
774Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZcPmAOmXI
The Inspector didn’t back away but leaned closer and said. “Unless you start telling the truth…I will happily do just that.”774Please respect copyright.PENANAf7f60lIQBt
774Please respect copyright.PENANAwZWFOZj5zg
“What if I give you a certain truth the manager of this school wants to hide?”774Please respect copyright.PENANAs6ZXbiRTmW
774Please respect copyright.PENANA3rroAcdPpL
This time the Inspector backed off. He glanced at me for a while and said. “What is this so called truth?”774Please respect copyright.PENANAQkabkFPUtO
“There was an incident in this school 2 weeks ago. Jolly…She was in the centre of it all.”774Please respect copyright.PENANAiJ1x9utKKn
774Please respect copyright.PENANAVpd2O9XkI1
“Interesting…”774Please respect copyright.PENANAM443f2Cxc6
774Please respect copyright.PENANA9sArConiMI
“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…”774Please respect copyright.PENANAAFyANYV2MC
774Please respect copyright.PENANAmouDHHoe1P
“Jolly…”774Please respect copyright.PENANA5uuzComoSu
774Please respect copyright.PENANAgC5i5Wbyrn
“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…“774Please respect copyright.PENANAk83KjqJTk3
774Please respect copyright.PENANAFY4fD8nb8O
“People believed her?”774Please respect copyright.PENANAWvKP0fOCUR
774Please respect copyright.PENANAmwOATiK0Z7
“Jolly has a reputation of being the good girl. Except some of us…”774Please respect copyright.PENANAUGfPEpwHOX
774Please respect copyright.PENANATpFlKjfMIh
“How does your manager factor into this story?”774Please respect copyright.PENANA45rBKzBkTH
774Please respect copyright.PENANAWM42iPgggQ
“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.”774Please respect copyright.PENANAsttqYnPLeK
774Please respect copyright.PENANAx0e1j01NoU
“And why would he do such a thing?”774Please respect copyright.PENANAryzmXHkGL3
774Please respect copyright.PENANAAfwwOq5Oo9
“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…”774Please respect copyright.PENANA7RxA2q4ga2
774Please respect copyright.PENANAeYeC7h9saW
“The Incident in the Physics lab happens.”774Please respect copyright.PENANAvABsHrofNK
774Please respect copyright.PENANAceghx8cnmx
“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…”774Please respect copyright.PENANAg4haL6LjSQ
774Please respect copyright.PENANABlfXZfWpr2
“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.”774Please respect copyright.PENANA1M0wE8p7NU
774Please respect copyright.PENANAfPqGSnMJjH
“Michel Sir said he’d expel anyone who tells you this story.”774Please respect copyright.PENANA9et8rwaFCn
774Please respect copyright.PENANAsdAdnKmo7O
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.774Please respect copyright.PENANAgdi0ro7V7T
