CHAP 2: POLICE STATION

1 DAY LATER: 1ST JULY, 2011

"Where on earth am I? This isn't my house. I don't have any freaking black walls around. Someone tell me, why have you brought me here and when the hell are you going to take me out of here " James cried to show pseudo anger, but deep down at the bottom he was feeling the more nervous.

"I am afraid to state Mr. James,  you need to stay in the lockup for 2 days before the court proceedings begin on Monday." He saw a cop approaching towards him and only then did he realize that he had been put behind the bars.

"But what crime have I committed. I had just received a phone call from here, as far as I remember; but that isn't a reason good enough to put someone behind bars."

"You have attempted  suicide Mr. James and that too when you were summoned to the police station." 

"But why should I commit suicide, what makes you think so? Do you think me insane or drunk??"

"Just because you were charged of the murder of Miss. Sniora; and when we called you from the police station you probably understood that we know the whole story. So before it got too late you decide to end it all." The inspector said with cold eyes.

"Why will I kill Sniora, I loved her the most, more than anyone else. Do you get it, Inspector, do you?" James shouted at the top of his voice in both frustration and pain.,"And on what grounds  you earn the right to say that I have attempted a suicide?"

"Two hours after the phone call when you didn't turn up to the police sation, Mr.Walker, we went to your house fearing your escape.Seeing the door shut, we broke in and there we found you lying unconscious in your room. We took to you to the nearest hospital just in time, where the doctor reported that traces of poison were found in your body. You knew we would be coming so you tried to kill yourself and the secret with you. I guess this is enough of an explanation. "The inspector said with the same frankness as he would have done to any other criminal infront of him.

"What? Posion! This cannot be, I have never ever taken any kind of poison, neither have I any poison in my home. These are all lies, inspector. Someone is plotting against me."

"I am not here to decide for any of your explanations, you better give them in the courtroom when you will be summoned on Monday, for suicide as well as for murder."

"Please try to understand, I beg you, I am no murderer, I cant even think of that. Sniora died due to a  short circuit in her house." James said with pleading eyes.

"No! She didn't die because of any short-circuit. It was you who made the plan to set her house on fire and kill her. The wires had already been messed up with to make it appear as a short-circuit. You made a neat plan Mr. Walker, but unfortunately still failed." The cop was getting on his nerves.

"I was going to her home to pick her up for shopping. We were going to be engaged the following day. I just do not understand how can anyone cook up such a story and convince you so easily."

"We talk and do each and everything with proof, Mr. Walker. And.........."

"Inspector, enough of it. Release him now, quick. I have got the orders" James heard a familiar female voice as she handed some papers to the cop.

"Lisa, its you. Thank God you came to save me. This bloody Inspector with his dumb head would not understand a thing." James was more than happy to see her at the right moment.

Lisa was the Sniora's best friend. James had often met her while visiting Sniora's house, and most of the time it was Lisa whom Sniora talked of.

"Come out quick, we have much work to do." said Lisa commanding.

"But I have many questions to ask. I don't understand....."

"Hurry up now. We don't have much time. I will answer all your questions later" Lisa cut off James in the middle as they both walked briskly out of the police station.
