That afternoon, during lunch break, Nancy approached me. For the first time, in a long time, she didn’t look hostile. Without looking the slightest bit awkward she took a seat beside Jenny and me. Both of us, in the middle of opening our lunchboxes, looked at her disbelievingly.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYP46MbV1I

“I have something to say to you.” She said, more to me than Jenny. “I think you know what the Inspector has in mind…”912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡace6TumxjT
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gQEzUTZWh
“He intends to tie us three to Jolly’s murder.” I said, matter-of-factly. “He said as much to my face.”912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITAf54RHkm
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbns44ocWiP
I wondered about that too. Although, my interactions with the Inspector were far from friendly, something told me that he wouldn’t carry out the threat. Maybe it was foolish of me to believe that.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVjeQIRAAE

“You, Jenny and me.” Nancy said slowly. “He…He thinks we were working together to get rid of Jolly. We all know how much he hates your father…  At the moment he’s chasing after the incident in the physics lab but…What if that leads nowhere and he turns his attention back towards us.”912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzHYEhU4ir
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDO1ljijGr
“I don’t think he’ll go that far…”912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzS40vQ3ji
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWdV89Vi3N
“But what if he does?” Jenny chimed in. “What if we go down for a crime someone else committed?”912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimmx2ROFMV
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzogTqxm3Zp
“Look…I’m not saying we should be paranoid but…” Nancy said. “We have to protect ourselves.”912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrKvBa2EAc
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbptq4w7WdY
“What?”912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3LhFux8lm
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnBzK2Iznl
“Keep our eyes and ears open for…for anything that could point at the true murderer.”912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBNMb2bp19
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMgmCeLqcg
“Have you gone crazy, Nancy?" I asked incredulously. “Do you think we’re in a movie or something?”912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhCKMuwc7V
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gxK92KXVo
​“Don’t be ridiculous, Amy. I am not suggesting we play detective. Just….Watch people. Listen to the things they say. Start a harmless conversation about Jolly’s and Pinky’s  deaths.”912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuqRwbAIPT
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MlMapcKoO
Pinky’s death…That reminded me…912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnv9yDx7Gb
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeyw8BxWvI
“Did he say anything to you about Pinky’s death? He never mentioned her to me.”912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aTx7deKYh
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HTMuC5DWr
“Of course he did.” Nancy said, frantically. “He knows she liked us and us her. He thinks we convinced her to poison Jolly’s drink. And…”912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgnk25KNAX
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEV39KE1Ssk
I felt as if I was drenched in ice cold water. Jenny glanced at me, panic written in every inch of her face.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4X0FXfov5o
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6bEVLo0tA
“He…He doesn’t think we killed her, does he?”912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtT16SXny09
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGsscIjZav
“Of course, he does.” Nancy said, impatiently. “He thinks the same person or people killed both of them.”912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpfpQsD6aG
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNtTBmzcO3
Before I could respond to that, Nayana, one of our classmates came rushing in.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTa3WdL5H7s
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfHwKwmUkD
“Guys…” She yelled. “Jo’s just been arrested. The police searched his home. They found a rope and a little bottle of poison hidden away in his house…”912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvG23fiiFP
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2KNAVT2kr
We abandoned our lunchboxes and listened in horrified silence. Nayana told us that Joseph had been arrested and convicted for murder once before.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRhmVwFOJP
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwhmUOV3kb
“His ex-girlfriend and her boyfriend. He shot and killed them in the middle of the street. Just stood there laughing and let himself be arrested…”912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6RAMHPgF5
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9QWNM75qk
“He must have killed Jolly then.” Jenny whispered, relieved.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGEe40UCf1
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLgFKYMh7f
​“Of course not!” Nancy scoffed. “Use your brain, Jenny. If you were a murderer would you hide incriminating evidence in your own home? Besides…Take his previous crime…He committed murder in front of a whole lot of people…He didn’t have an intricate plan to get away.”912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYzvYJKGd0
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyI83Ca05a3
“Do you think the police didn’t think of this?” Jenny asked her.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1CTFquPFG
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQU7Lj8s9Uk
Nancy just shook her head. “The murderer is framing someone else…If Jo is irrefutably proved innocent...How long do you think we have before he or she thinks to provide the inspector some evidence to arrest us?”912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEzP7LQi32
