PRESENT - JAIL
"Lav, I tried to find out what you had told me. The main door CCTV camera was nicely hidden. But I got some lead with Krishnaji"
"Krishnaji? He is our office boy, what would he know?"
"Oh, you don't know, these office boys are always in the background observing and keeping track of who is upto what. He is a pretty strong witness."
"Okay that's good, but you can prove it right? I took a cab and reached home. I never had my Car keys, so how could I would have murdered her?"
"Lav, honey Vivek booked the Cab for you and it was upto his house. That sick bastard. He even left the Car Keys in when he pushed it in water. Your access card used in office was in the Car. The gun used was Vishal's sure, but it had your fingerprints. Not Vishal's. It could have easily been brought by Gauri and used by you. Also, the prosecution Lawyer very nicely proved how you had cozied up with Vishal so even you would have had it. The net has been knitted very tightly around you"
"That means there in no hope?" my voice was barely a whisper now.
"No, I have another lead. But I cannot disclose it just now. Don't want to get your hopes up for such a slim chance. In another two days I would have gathered enough evidence to prove my hunch."
"What can I do to help?"
"For now? Just pray, sit tight and pray hard" Swati gave my hands a tight squeeze and left the visitors room.
Sheleft me with even lessor hope then I had earlier.
