"Ms freeman. I have one question for you." The officer says, standing in front of the table Amber was seated at.
Amber stared at the floor nervously, and let the lady continue.
"do you know why someone would attack Tara carpenter?" The officer stared down at her.
Amber didn't respond.
The officer leaned down and tapped the desk to get her attention. Amber blinked and looked up.
"sorry what?"
"Why was Tara attacked?" The officer asked in a more stern tone.
Amber furrowed her eyebrows and tapped her foot on the floor.
"Listen Amber. I think it's very reasonable to believe that you had something to do with tara's attack" The lady said standing up straight in front of the table.
"I was with Tara the night she was attacked" Amber said in response.
"that makes you even more of a suspect Amber." The officer says.
"The killer was chasing Ethan, Tara, and I. You can even ask her" Amber crosses her arms and bites her bottom lip.
"Don't think i'm new to this ghostface stuff. There's always two killers. I've done my research" The officers voice gets more stern and demanding.
"there's eight billion people on this planet and your trying to tell me that i'm the other killer?" Amber says sitting up straight in her chair. "I mean... where's your proof?" Amber adds.
"No one hates Tara carpenter more than you." The officer says smiling in a sarcastic way. The lady sets down a clipboard on the table.
"fill this out" the officer taps the clipboard, and walks out the room.
Amber mumbles a few curse words under her breath before grabbing the clipboard.
She looks at some of the questions and scoffs.

"Your good to go." The officer says.
Amber nods her head and just as she's about to leave the room, the officer grabs her arm.
"I've got my eye on you."
Amber pulls her arm away from the officer and glares at her. She eventually walks out the room and sighs as the door shuts behind her.
Amber notices a vending machine and she walks over to it. She puts in a couple dollars and gets a bag of chips.
Amber sees Ethan smiling at her in the corner of her eye. He sits in a chair as he waits to get called into the questioning room.

Amber lies in her bed and stares at the ceiling. Her phone buzzes but she doesn't bother to move and grab it.
It buzzes again, and amber turns over and grabs her phone. A couple texts from Ethan show up.
Amber

the hospital with me to see tara
when?

Amber sets her phone down and sits up in her bed. Amber eventually gets up after 5 minutes of sitting in bed. She opens her door and walks out into the hallway. She stares down at the carpet of the hallway as she walks towards the elevator.
