You got to read this!

I walked downstairs and stood near the door.

Their faces were more serious than before. Did they get any lead?

" Greetings again Lijah. We got some further questions to ask you."

" Sure sir, please come in." I responded with all the positivity that was left in me.

" So, again I 'll come straight to the point. You said you were in your room after the party but sadly he got a security camera right in front of his house. Surprised young man?" He asked with a look of achievement.

I could feel my heart pounding faster and faster. I could feel my blood flowing. I could hear my own heart beat. It's over. They won!

" Got any last words before we take you to the real interrogation room? Believe me, it's way more spookier than the one in the movies." He said with a smirk.

" Sir, please hear me out. I went there to ..."

" To kill him. I know that young man." An officer interrupted.

They got the CCTV visuals of the house. Maybe the camera is only placed in the front yard. If it was in backyard, then surely they would have seen the whole murdering and go after Amanda.

But, they might have seen Amanda going in too. And she got in there before me.

" My girlfriend was cheating on me with him, so I went there to catch them red handed. You got the camera visuals, so obviously you have seen her entering too." I spoke confidently.

There was a silence in the room. It seems like my lie worked!

" And did you catch them red handed?" One of the officer asked out of curiosity.

" Sure I did, that is why I took a leave the next day as I was not ready to face them both."

" But, why did you lie to us? You never told that you went there again that night."

" I was afraid to tell that sir. I thought you would never believe me. But now I get that officers are patient and kind enough to hear people out. And thank you for believing me rather than just drag me to the station without knowing the whole truth."

I really hope that works!

"Amanda seems like our next suspect. But, Lijah, that doesn't mean we have seen you as an innocent kid. Let's see if Amanda got the same story. One of the officer will stay here with you until I and Paul goes to Willsons and question her. Mr. Harry will make sure that you won't use your phone or try to leave the city."

Yes, it worked. These officers are just like my aunt. Two to three nice words about them and here they are in my bottle!

Two of the officers left the house, leaving me and Mr. Harry alone.

Amanda must be waiting for me upstairs. The officers will come back when they don't find her in her house and check my room. Her dad will mention my name and my whole fucked up past. We are screwed Amanda!

There was an awkward silence between me and Harry. Should I offer him a cup of tea or something? Ah, no need of that I guess.

" Sir, may I go use the washroom." I asked in hope of going upstairs.

" I'll come with you." He responded.

" What, inside?"

What does this guy think of himself? I am not going to let him see me without pants.

" I'll just close my eyes. Besides, what is there to see?"
