(At the office )
Me :Here, some water !
Woman :Thanks...
Me : Are you okay ?
Woman :Yes...I'm !
Me :So...can you tell me what happened ?
Woman :I left the supermarket after that my shift ended, I heard someone screaming...(she hesitated)I was curious so I went to that building.... .When I arrived the door was opened,I entered and I saw it !
She acted strange ,she looked at the cup in her hand and bited her mouth
Me :Do you know the victim ?
Woman :of course no !
Me :Why are you the only witness ?Is the victim only one who lives there ?
She didn't say anything...
Me :Is my question unclear ?Normally,if she screamed, her neighbour will notice.
Women :She is the only one living there...
Me :Why would a single woman live in an abandoned building? And it's dark there...
Woman :She lost her job a year ago and she has no family ,so she was obliged...
Me :what was her job ?
Woman :She worked as a teacher.
Me :Why did she lost her job ?
Woman : There was a photos of her taken in a unwanted situation.
Me :Did she have some enemies ?
Woman :After losing her job, and her boyfriend, she changed to a different woman ?
Me : How ?
Woman :a dirt ,a trash,a....
She stressed,she looked at me,her eyes changed :
Me :So you know her,and well too! Why did you lie ?
Woman :I never lie...
Me :never? Why? I lie too,we all lie... . In some cases it isn't a bad thing! But in your situation, I can't guarantee that is a good thing. Let me repeat...Do you know the victim yes or no ?
She didn't say anything
Me : Ok !We have many places at the jail.I heard that the food isn't that bad !Let's go !
Women :WAIT !I know her !
Me :Look how nice you are...what do you know about her ?
Women :I already said what I know...
Me :look at me...I can change to an evil in no time, you are making me angry and I had a bad day so answer and stop your lies !
For an other time I forget the fact that I'm not a detective but a cop,I don't have to ask her all those questions .Luckily,the post was full so no one noticed.
Me :Listen to me,if you don't talk that won't help you in any way so, when the detectives come you better not lie...They aren't kind you know...
Women :He has a strong build ,he's tall...I saw his shadow
Me :Are u sure ?
She said yes...I waited for the detectives without adding any word.
I couldn't wait anymore ,and rashed to the crime scene I saw that psycho standing ,talking with detectives and there was also Wendy and her superior.While I perked my car and went to them I saw a tall silhouette,one thought reached my mind"It's him ! ».Then I ran to officer Rule and shouted" IT'S THE MURDERER ! ».Actually it was a big fault, I admit it was stupid from me because with what I did we just lost a chance to capture him: he ran away... .Without listening to officer Rule order, I followed him. He was running so fast, I was so tired and I felt that my cut opened but, I couldn't give up so I followed him like a crazy. It was so dangerous to run around in the road full of cars, but who cares ? Taking risks is my job !After a long marathon he stoped at a dark alley then he turned to me. I acted like I was okay and ready to fight but, God knew that wasn't the case. I wanted to catch him and prove to that psycho that even if I'm a women, I'm strong . I couldn't see him well but I could feel his presence and his hand that literally was about to kiss my eyes. I just punched, I didn't know exactly what's the situation. After a moment I felt dizzy, my force betrayed me.He tookthe chance and hit me, guess where ?...In my cut ! I can't express how I felt, It's like if I was ready to die.I felk, he wanted to ran away I caught his leg but that was a bad idea :he send me a kick and continued his way.
My colleague come bringing with them a light source,Wendy came to me and tried to make me stand :
Wendy :Are you crazy ? Look at you ?
I couldn't say anything,it was hard to stand so how can I make another effort to talk.
Officer Rule came and screamed :
« Are you stupid ? » Yes of course! Didn't I say to stay with the witness? If you want to play the hero play it well ! I can't believe I'm working with a dumb like you? How did you pass your bar exam ? With money ?Or because of your dad who knows some judges ? Did you even study ?I heard that you always cause problems,I admit that it's not rumours ! What do you think you are ?You are just a dirty cop ! This is why I don't like working with women, you are always trying to show that you are better than others,but you are not ! An idiot like you shouldn't be a cop,no...shouldn't live ! You better get out of my face,you are making me angry ! You are no a hero don't try to play a role that doesn't suit you ! GET AWAY !
I didn't know what made me feel pain,is it my cut who was crying for help ? Or my heart that can't breath anymore ? Why didn't I replay ? Because I couldn't talk ? Even if I could have, I won't because I'm just a coward.
Me :Wendy,it's 11 PM right ?
Wendy :It's 11 :32AM !
Me :My shift ended I'm... going back home !
Wendy :Let me...
Me :No...I want to stay alone !
Officer Rule :Making a mess then running away...you are really no joke !
I couldn't hear anything, I didn't want to he was right I ran away. I was bleeding and it hurted but I didn't mind my heart hurted more... Suddenly I couldn't feel anything I was out of energy I was going to fall but someone caught from behind ! I was going to kick him fortunately I didn't : he was that doctor. I smiled for a bit, then just fell on his arm !
