I watched Amanda through the glass mirror as she studied the murder scene in the interrogation room. She took samples of the blood that was smeared on the wall and talked to one of the policemen who examined the evidence.

"The police is working hard to find the guilty in the murder of the prime minister, and in the meantime the entire country is in turmoil. What was the purpose of the mysterious assassin, and where did his or hers trail disappear?..." The newscaster was loud through Jenny's phone as she watched the news over it.

So the media doesn't know the assassin is a woman. This was probably the chief's decision, I thought.

If I were in his place, I would've published a picture of Lavender in the media, even without her name (which I'm sure was her 'stage name'), so that people will stay away from her, and maybe even help us locate her. She's very dangerous, and I don't want to think about all the people she might hurt in her deadly mission.

"What are you thinking about?" Jenny suddenly spoke to me, looking up from her phone screen and examined me with curious eyes.

I wasn't sure if She's still angry with me. She kept reminding me that if I wasn't in such a hurry to go to the masquerade, we could have figured out a way of action, and Lavender was caught.

I doubted it.

But now, thanks to the masquerade, I began to understood Lavender a little more. I figured out that she doesn't murder for her own pleasure, and that everything she does is for her big, sick goal in her twisted mind.

Although she seemed to enjoy it.

"Lavender. Something feels wrong in this case. According to the prime minister's schedule, he was supposed to be in an urgent meeting at 8:40 am. His assistant might have been looking for him and he caught Lavender in the act, and possibly because of that she murdered him. She used the opportunity to murder him and use it to confuse us." I took a short break, then continued my line of thoughs, "What bothers me is who he was supposed to meet. Do we have any information about that?"

"I'm trying to get a confirmation about the identity of the people he met and what the meeting was supposed to be about, but I don't think we'll get approval, at least not without a struggle." Jenny looked thoughtful.

"I think we should consider the possibility that the people he was supposed to meet with are suspects. Don't you think it took them quite a while to announce his absence? Who was the one who found his body?" I asked her.

"The cleaner. Someone called him and said that the prime minister's room was empty and that it had to be cleaned before he'll come back."

"Very suspicious. According to the cleaner, was it a man or a woman voice?"
