​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.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVBnBDE7Cq
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiatiqB5F7T
“Then who had something to do with it, Amy?”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIp3zhCB7JL
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZz9KB8Ct5
“If I knew I would have told you.”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SZqF3Idyk
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bm7ebKenO
“So…You are saying you knew nothing about this murder?”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicbWTjVL3e
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUBEMbrwbM
“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.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76Zl1WT8XB
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WhF9da6nm
“If anything, you were trying to knock the poisoned drink out of her hands. How did you know?”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HzsTFkvNC
I was horrified. How could I admit…820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFojHK1Bh7
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CF9yFwmwS
“I didn’t…” I blurted out. “It was an accident.”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3McyfNkhzd
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZWERFpc3Z
“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.”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSZyBifKIK
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9otmJ1a2wy
“He’s lying.”  I said. “He and I are not in the best of terms.”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8KdI7nWgy
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiml3wIPRE
“And why is that?”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdgKNeAVtj
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gfvjku4in
“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…”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMY14rR5Ct6
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxpIwu6QBZ
“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.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk378Y73taP
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjyTBBVyYO
“Nancy wouldn’t kill anyone…And…We…I mean she doesn’t want to be my friend anymore.”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8EqJC11eZ
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAYdENeNlT
The Inspector raised an eyebrow. “Hasn’t forgiven you for seeing through him, huh?”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfCQOU8uvw
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90G1DCOOK2
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?”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyOTSMbF8G
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYbyXjdCpm
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?”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6qOqmdCqH
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1h7TTot3mp
“It was an accident.”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz43GqlmCj0
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5LQa5c5of
“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…”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKyDXRFSnP
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdF1NY9BwQ
“I am speaking the truth…I don’t know. I honestly don’t know anything about the murder.”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5fiwDR5aY
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEczsMbVYq
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…”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3BaoEKShK
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS98NXU5rrD
​“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.”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Os0BWt1nq
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyhhH0TeRr
The Inspector didn’t back away but leaned closer and said. “Unless you start telling the truth…I will happily do just that.”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CIlIJVGYk
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nmoZpdapy
“What if I give you a certain truth the manager of this school wants to hide?”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsT0s3kK3P
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecWYsNrZ5d
This time the Inspector backed off. He glanced at me for a while and said. “What is this so called truth?”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ226BOWy9hW
“There was an incident in this school 2 weeks ago. Jolly…She was in the centre of it all.”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUTtUjLEog
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQN8mivxjQ
“Interesting…”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Jtxx0xfkM
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIBH9IRBS3
“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…”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87jWNqlg14
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuz2QRY7NqL
“Jolly…”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6Nt4uPXR7
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA590BcV8EQ
“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…“820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhXuobDL3E
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAW8EpdfcW
“People believed her?”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHU0rN6jOc
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVnMfnm7oZ
“Jolly has a reputation of being the good girl. Except some of us…”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNguu6eplBe
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyE1OaDvoZd
“How does your manager factor into this story?”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tysCTuvGF
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEynh8J2YUQ
“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.”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm03jB1B0cm
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcVahpQ2EH
“And why would he do such a thing?”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhroYkvWImH
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJtK1QXxYW
​“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…”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHB6OZIvJsw
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz15vpDowow
“The Incident in the Physics lab happens.”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQYDlkvfJt
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdKw7JsYKQ
“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…”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN058q4SEIT
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSacBGsNTyK
“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.”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuhG9qxpBG
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnN1kCU4hO
“Michel Sir said he’d expel anyone who tells you this story.”820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQZKqmo1Gh
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQ95Xlq9V9
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.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZJJ3uYzO4
