Lisa kept fidgeting with her hair, glancing around the interview room like a trapped animal. Her fingers twisted a strand of hair over and over again.
"Here," Yoongi said, placing a cup of water in front of her. Lisa's hands trembled as she grabbed it and downed it in one gulp.
"How long have you known Michele?" Vienna asked, voice as gentle as a feather.
"I've known both her and David since middle school. I've always been envious of their relationship. They were absolutely adorable," Lisa replied, her voice shaky, eyes glassy with unshed tears.
"Were? What changed?" Yoongi's gaze was sharp.
""I—" Lisa's voice faltered. "You should ask David about that," she deflected, looking down at the table.
"Surely Michele talked to you about her marriage," Vienna pressed, leaning in like a cat ready to pounce.
Lisa hesitated, then sighed, her shoulders collapsing under the weight of whatever she was carrying. "Yeah... They were just so caught up with work... You don't think David did this, do you?" Her eyes widened with fear.
"How about you tell us what happened on the night of August 22nd when Michele went missing," Yoongi suggested, his tone calm but firm.
"Michele called me all upset. She had the night off to spend with David, but he was pulling a late one at the office. I figured a night out might cheer her up, so I suggested hitting up this new bar at Metro Plaza - Layover, it's really cool," Lisa explained, her voice steadier.
"What time did you meet?" Vienna asked, scribbling down notes, her earlier incident in the bathroom forgotten.
"A bit after nine. We had some shots, talked. I tried to take her mind off things." Lisa said, now fiddling with her bracelet.
"Did Michele ever mention feeling threatened or scared by anyone?" Vienna continued.
Lisa thought for a moment, her brows knitting together. "No, not really. I mean, Michele was stressed. She said there was something bad happening, but when I asked, she clammed up."
Something bad, huh? I wonder what that was...
"Did Michele talk to anyone at Layover? Any mysterious phone calls?" Vienna pushed further.
"No... wait, there was someone!" Lisa blurted out.
Vienna and Yoongi exchanged a glance.
Finally, a bone to chew on.
"I went to get us refills, and on my way back, I spotted some guy chatting with Michele," Lisa recalled. "By the time I got back to the table, he was gone."
