"Answer the question kid-"
"I told you I didn't do it! Why would I shoot and kill my best friend?" Mykel slammed his fist down on the table in the interrogation room.
He had been there for four hours already.
"Ah ah, we never said the victim was dead. How would you know he's dead unless it was you trying to kill him huh kid?"
"Look man. I don't know how many times I've got to tell you, I didn't shoot Gekyume Onfroy! I'm his best friend.." His voice cracked at the last part, overwhelmed by all that was occurring.
"Ah yes, Mr Mykel 'Menace' Brown...the victims best friend"
The officer paced around him.
"Well then tell me then Mr Brown..tell me why the gun used to shoot down your best friend is registered under your name?"

"Now we've obtained the victims mobile phone, and there were messages from you on there.."
Joyri sat there in silence, letting the tears run down her flustered cheeks.
"You appeared to say that you were stuck in Boca, and Mykel 'on his hood shit' wasn't picking up his phone..could you specify what you meant by 'hood shit'?"
The officer questioned her.
"Look Miss Wade, we don't have all day here so I suggest you start co-operating before I have you spend the night in a cell."
"I don't know! Hood shit..is just an expression..to say that h-he's not acting right and proper..that's all I promise and-"
"Why wasn't he picking up? Why were you calling him, what exactly is your relationship status with Mr Brown?"
"Boyfriend...h-he's my boyfriend.." She stuttered.
"For how long?"
"Um...a while, we've been dating for a while but didn't make things public until recently..please I know he didn't do it, Gekyume's his best friend, and mine too, just let me go so I can see him!"
Joyri struggled to hold herself together, biting her tongue to prevent her from crying and breaking down.
"How are you so sure? If he did shoot Gekyume, you seemed so sure he was on his 'hood shit' that well, you could've been his accomplice.."
Joyri's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Me? His accomplice..all the way from Boca?"
"Well of course it makes perfect sense. The victim was shot in Boca, at the gardens, Mykel would've shot him there, now what exactly were you doing there in the first place?"
