- What the fuck are you doing?

Dan was leaning over me and staring at me as I was waking up.

- I thought you were dead.

- What?

- Do you even know how long you have been sleeping for?

- How would I dumbass? I was asleep.

- You have been out for 3 days...

- Shut up.

- Just kidding.

- You asshole.

I turn my back to him. I hear Dan snicker.

- I got you, but you have been asleep for a while.
- What time is it?

- 3pm.

I slowly got up and sat on the edge of the bed.

- Why did you sleep here last night?

- I was lonely at home and the hospital has surprisingly good food.

- You must be starving to say that.

- Not far from starving, yes, I have good news. We went through the girls meeting the description at your school.

- Find anything?

- We found a few, most had alibis for that night except one. A girl in your classroom, I believe her name was Sarah Cliffhood, you know her?

- No, I don't.

- Well, I am bringing you to the station today while we are questioning her, you will be able to watch and listen on the other side of the double mirror.

- Okay.

- The director will be with you.

- The director?

- She has taken an interest in you.

- You don't make that sound like a good thing.

- Well, she always has a reason for everything so be careful what you say when you are with her. Anyway, we will need to find some more evidence to convince the judge and jury. Her mother will also be in the interrogation room.

- I guess you have quite a bit of work to do.

- Well we are slowly finding answers, hopefully once we get the warrant to search the Cliffhood's house we will find the evidence we need.

- Did you get anything from the flowers?

- The microphone was hand made so we are dealing with someone who has the materials and who has bought them recently, we are asking the shops nearby if anyone has come to buy what was needed.

- So if she is the killer you should find the shoes that match the ones next to my house and the materials used to make the microphone?

- Well, that would make things easier, yes. So the questioning starts at 5pm, I brought you clean clothes.

Susan walks into the room with a couple of boxes of medicine.

- Okay, Josh you are all clear, you need to take one of these every night. If you forget it doesn't matter, just make sure you take them the next day. If you forget for more than a week your organs won't be able run properly.

- Thanks, what did the last tests come up with?

- You are immune to 100% of clinical and illegal drugs, at least the ones that have been discovered.
