Alex Murphy: tapping fingers Seriously, you saw me at the wedding, right? I was nowhere near that murder scene.
takes out phone yeah, I took pictures. want me to send them to you?
eyes light up Yes, please! That would be incredibly helpful.
yes, it was an honor to have you there. I give him my number call me if you need anything else
He takes your number, a hint of relief in his eyes Thanks for backing me up. I'll call if anything else comes up.
I look up at him wait, didn't you tell me earlier today you would be out of town this weekend?
Alex looks at you with a sly smile, his fingers still tapping
Ah, you have a good memory. Yes, I did say that earlier. But plans changed, and I ended up attending this wedding instead.
Yes, Alex. You were literally dancing with me when the murder happened. We even took a picture together before things went south.
grins You see? I have an alibi. Now, if only the detectives would listen to you.
taps fingers faster
Do you mind showing them that picture we took together? That should prove my innocence.
I looked up at him as he loomed over me. "Yes, I remember you."
Alex raises an eyebrow, a hint of surprise in his expression. Really? You remember me from that wedding?
yes i did. and i can vouch for you!
Alex smiles, visibly relieved Thank you. That's a load off my mind.
tapping fingers again I knew you were a good one. Now all I have to do is convince the police...
taps her foot impatiently yes! I saw you talking to the bride’s mother. Why would I lie about that?
Alex looks relieved and stops tapping his fingers Thank God. At least I have an alibi now.
He rubs his forehead and sighs deeply
But why would anyone accuse me of murder in the first place? I was just there to attend the wedding.
I look at him worried Alex..you sure that’s where you were?
Alex nods firmly, tapping faster Of course I'm sure. I was at that wedding all evening, from start to finish. The whole time!
I'm sobbing in the corner, tears dripping down my face as I clutch my red rose bouquet tightly i-i...do remember seeing you though..a bit drunk maybe...
Alex approaches you carefully, noticing your distress. He kneels down beside you and places a gentle hand on your shoulder.
Hey now, take it easy. I understand this is a lot to take in. But it's important that you remember everything clearly. Can you tell me what I was doing during the wedding?
I nod yes, I remember you because you were looking around like something spooked you. didn't know what it was until I heard about this case
Alex's eyes widen, surprised that you noticed him.
Yeah, somethin' didn't feel right at the wedding. I couldn't put my finger on it until now. Someone was watching us, I could feel it in my bones.
