CHAPTER SIX.
ARIA AWAITS HER QUESTIONING as she sits in the chairs of the NYPDs waiting area. She watches Detective Bailey escort Sam out, and welcome her in. She smiles at Tara, as her way of saying goodbye. She sighs, and heads into the interrogation room.
"Ms. Cruz," Bailey says, before Aria quickly shoots,
"Aria, is fine." The detective smiles at her, trying to be accepting of what Arias just gone through.
"Our questions for now are brief, Aria. We're just trying to get a sense of the attacker and common appearances."
"Is that to make it easier to catch him?" She asks. Detective Bailey smiles again, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.
"You're very smart. Samantha warned me of that." Aria smiled. She appreciated the compliment.
"So, Aria. We found this at the scene of the crime. Does this look familiar?" The detective pulls out a ghostface mask.
"No." Aria says. "Well, yes, but.." She fumbles over her words as Bailey gives her a confused look.
"Yes. It's the ghostface mask from like every stab movie, but this isn't the one the killer was wearing. His, or hers, was more beat up. Like it was old." She hissed, to which the detective thanked her for her 'helpful details.'
The rest of the questioning after that was brief. Most of it was a blur, Aria walked out of the room pushing her hair out of her face trying not to break down in front of the whole police station.
"Hey," Sam said, providing a fake, plastered smile to which Aria returned.
"Hey. I'm ready." She says softly, grabbing her purse as she heads to their taxi.
The girls head outside and are flustered with reporters and camera crews.
A series of "There they are!" followed through the crowd surrounding them.
"Aria, share with us what it's like reliving these killings!"
"Sam, how does it feel knowing you're the prime suspect in these murders!"
"Tara, are you scared to be around your sister at this point in the murders?"
The overwhelmed girls almost made it out of crowd, before meeting a familiar face that followed cameras and bright lights,
"Gale weather reporting live here. Girls, care to open the eyes of our viewers to the insides of these murder cases?"
Anger remishes through Aria's body as she expresses it on her face. Sam takes a shot at the nosy reporter, to which she responds
"Nice try sweetie. But I've done this dance before-"
Gale falls to the ground as an effect of Arias lethal punch. "That'll 'open their eyes' plenty." She snarls and walks off with her friends to their taxi.
"Hey!" Gale shouts chasing after them. "Girls, slow down."
"Slow down? Really?" Sam mocks as Gale puts her hands up in a defensive manner.
"Hey! Same team here, remember?"
"Oh really? Were we on the same team when you described me as– and I quote – 'a lethal and conniving liar, who provided just enough room for suspicion'?" Aria asks cunningly.
"Okay, I get it. You girls are angry."
"Angry?" Sam scoffs. "You said you wouldn't write a book about what happened, and then you wrote a book about what happened!"
"I'm sorry!" Gale cried. "But I want us to be together on this. I want to catch this fucker too."
"Maybe." Tara hissed. "Or maybe you're just afraid that without ghostface in your life, you're gonna fade away."
