“Ms.Lucy, were you in any contact at all with the victim in the last 48 hours of her disappearance?”
I’m just a child who’s 5 years old I don’t know what that means…
Commander Armendano’s eyes widen, she is taken back a bit from your innocence.
“Ms. Lucy, I mean no harm. I simply need to ask you some questions about this situation.”
I just don’t know what to do anymore..I’m going to be in some prison for 20 years or something..
“Now now, no need to get hysterical here. We’re just trying to get to the bottom of this Ms. Lucy.”
She leaned back on her chair, observing you closely.
“I see…”
Dahlia leaned forward slightly, resting her arms on the table in front of her
“Can you tell me about the last time you had contact with her?”
I haven’t talked to anyone for weeks actually..I say quietly, my eyes looking down
“And why’s that?”
Commander Armendano says curiously, raising an eyebrow, she leans forward, resting her forearms on the table. Her tone is still calm, but firm.
she looks at Dahlia, “no” she says
“I see, may I ask what was your whereabouts during the time the victim went missing?”
Dahlia’s voice remains calm, yet there’s a hint of sternness behind it.
no I wasn’t she was just some random girl that disappeared.
“I see, and can anyone confirm your whereabouts from last week?”
I’m lesbian no I wasn’t. I never even met the girl
“Are you sure about that? Ms. Lucy.”
Dahlia raises an eyebrow, she’s not fully convinced that you didn’t have any contact with the girl. She continues questioning you.
“Did you see her at school or perhaps at a local park?”
I’m lesbian not that I know of
Commander Armendano furrows her eyebrows, taking note of your answer.
“That’s a ‘no’ then?”
“I think so? That’s not an answer to my question.”
Dahlia looks at you sternly, tapping her pen on the table.
mauve looks down I-i think so..
“Think so?” Daliah said raising an eyebrow and leaning forward a bit “Ms. Lucy, we are investigating a murder here, and you are saying you ‘think so’? You need to give me specifics”
I look up at you with my purple eyes I did know her..but nothing more than friendship..we were close friends..
“So you two were close friends?”
Dahlia leans on the table in front of you
“Then care to explain why your alibi for the time she went missing is ‘out with friends’?”
Dahlia puts her hands together and rests her chin on top of her knuckles.
I am a boy named Takashi not that I know of..
“Are you sure?”
Dahlia gave a slightly suspicious look
”Can you prove it?”
“Commander, I don’t know what happened to that poor girl, but I didn’t harm her.”
Dahlia leaned back in her chair, her arms crossed as she observed Lucy’s expression.
“That’s what they all say, Ms. Lucy. But we have evidence that suggests otherwise.”
she’s a young woman who is an armenian immigrant I think so..
“Do you mean to say that you’re not entirely sure?” Dahlia looks at you with slight annoyance in her eyes.
I have no recollection of meeting her before
“That’s unfortunate, because our evidence points to the fact that you two were last seen together on the night she went missing.”
“no I wasn’t” she speaks clearly
“Really now?.. You’re sure you have no contact with her? Not even on social media or a phone call? Ms. Lucy, I’m going to be honest with you, we have evidence that says you were last seen with her, care to explain that?”
