​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.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCe8xQRWyWv
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs75iM9A9Nx
“Then who had something to do with it, Amy?”823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHa6muHAZ7
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk793RFMNl7
“If I knew I would have told you.”823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQ8Dr0Wbom
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1Qm0smEPY
“So…You are saying you knew nothing about this murder?”823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ACpyP6rHf
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpTBqhIigh
“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.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpesf4mQVl
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHpbxseYb9
“If anything, you were trying to knock the poisoned drink out of her hands. How did you know?”823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLR1qhYOLr
I was horrified. How could I admit…823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoOFUkZ1P9
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sYjg96lhh
“I didn’t…” I blurted out. “It was an accident.”823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVY1RhiG1W
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaLx5Pirqu
“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.”823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmuWRvwgHk
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02aGXlX9Jn
“He’s lying.”  I said. “He and I are not in the best of terms.”823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8XXNSEgwC
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FnZmrlqKU
“And why is that?”823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4f8iilHUzM
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvU8JnO2gp
“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…”823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKzI6FlSLG
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKvUQZ2CUJ
“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.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wERUOk1jp
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5skJ5Aqdk
“Nancy wouldn’t kill anyone…And…We…I mean she doesn’t want to be my friend anymore.”823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjA1LJv3MI8
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH02fsfiIuv
The Inspector raised an eyebrow. “Hasn’t forgiven you for seeing through him, huh?”823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHc8UWR8bDj
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EYREaZ4RK
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?”823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdsDjkbgol
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBGUSXASDD
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?”823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtcceChUWx
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78hKUcIzWA
“It was an accident.”823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMa4uB4yEUr
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQu7GqT1EQl
“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…”823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoxN8JMUgk
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6ON4DBfOm
“I am speaking the truth…I don’t know. I honestly don’t know anything about the murder.”823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQRGdlYBxg
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTSUBO1QL8
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…”823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7B53IZGTB
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3tp2hMMMD
​“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.”823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRXtIIgDUN
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ps6b0dcdk
The Inspector didn’t back away but leaned closer and said. “Unless you start telling the truth…I will happily do just that.”823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxtXPDCRxH
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRKvK4eVeu
“What if I give you a certain truth the manager of this school wants to hide?”823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzP5TQNbFqn
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2I8Y2bg5gv
This time the Inspector backed off. He glanced at me for a while and said. “What is this so called truth?”823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzneT8QED6q
“There was an incident in this school 2 weeks ago. Jolly…She was in the centre of it all.”823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskAcmgtHZ0
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsP7kURaHKz
“Interesting…”823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzpQML2uqo
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrBeyrjg4S
“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…”823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkv5q3Hx3N
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLI1xaE6F3a
“Jolly…”823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUIU7C5tOA
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7x8wyy4seo
“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…“823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKq2GhLko3
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHHXfjN5Ct
“People believed her?”823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JAr4R7C27
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYd3IAPwn0
“Jolly has a reputation of being the good girl. Except some of us…”823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3DpCAbHdq
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7Q0ldefBt
“How does your manager factor into this story?”823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9jHOXYkbr
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLPHbcAEnx
“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.”823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhisUV8wBo
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7V2R7FCBYg
“And why would he do such a thing?”823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtn5ZShWdZ
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfj6NJSztIn
​“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…”823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkKZT4iP08
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQ81Switi3
“The Incident in the Physics lab happens.”823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDZ9k6q7Gm
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkM5RJHLwLj
“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…”823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsF6MHT2xjz
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGCI4nglRY
“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.”823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgkE1vuWc8
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21ezTw1PCJ
“Michel Sir said he’d expel anyone who tells you this story.”823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvndrYSErQo
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEQVOjZBXy
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.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJavvPvYob
