DI Sophie Ellis-Bextor: leans in, eyes narrowed Where were you when the lights went out? Any alibi? Witnesses?
I...I was there. In the shadows. It's hard to say exactly where I was, but I wasn't alone.
raises an eyebrow "In the shadows, huh? Convenient. And who might have been lurking in those shadows with you, my dear?"
...a friend. A fellow patron of the club. They remain anonymous, but they've told me they saw nothing suspicious.
leans back, considering "A friend, you say? Well, that's quite convenient for you, isn't it? A mysterious figure who conveniently appears when needed.
Look, Inspector. I understand your skepticism, but there's no reason for me to lie. I didn't kill anybody.
smirks "Oh, really? You expect me to believe that? No motive, no alibi, and now you're telling me you have a rock-solid alibi? How convenient.
I may not have a solid alibi, but I can prove my innocence. I wasn't alone in those shadows. There were others, people I've never met before. They can vouch for me.
narrows her eyes "Interesting. So you expect me to believe that a group of random strangers will all miraculously remember you?
Look, Inspector. I don't expect you to just take my word for it. Follow me tonight and find out for yourself.
smirks "Ah, so you want me to follow you? And what, pray tell, are you hoping to achieve by dragging me into the shadows?
Just because you're not from around here doesn't mean you're ignorant of our ways. If you're going to catch the real killer, you need to think like one.
pauses, considering WaterfallMystic's words "Fine, I'll play along. Lead the way, my dear.
smiles knowingly "Follow me."
follows WaterfallMystic into the darkened corners of the nightclub, her eyes scanning the surroundings "So, my dear, where exactly are we heading?
leads you through a maze of twists and turns, finally arriving at a hidden chamber "We're here."
steps into the hidden chamber, scanning the room with sharp eyes "So, this is where you were hiding, eh?
...and this is where the real story begins.
raises an eyebrow, intrigued "Ah, it seems like you have a little more to reveal than initially meets the eye.
Indeed I do, Inspector. This is where the real investigation begins.
gazes at the room, her mind working rapidly "Very well, my dear. Show me what you've got.
The victim...she had many enemies. Powerful enemies. We need to ask the right questions.
leans in closer, her voice dropping to a low, dangerous whisper "And who might these powerful enemies be, my dear?
