C5 Chapter 5.

The press media could be seen gathering at the "starlight company". The place in which a conference was held earlier. The police had placed barricade tapes around that area and everyone was curious to know what it was. A journalist walked to an isolated place and told its crew to place him on air.

"I am standing here at the murder scene where a supposed actress died last night… immediately after the conference was over…". Many more journalists were broadcasting what they happen to see and here from there. There were also passerby and fans of this actress who was there to solicit

A young man pass through the crowd and showed some policemen his identity card, he was let in, and he met a doctor who was performing an autopsy inside the building. His eyes met a purse which was sealed in a polythene bag.

"Who owns this?" he questioned.

"Someone whose fingerprint keeps appearing on the victim's body" a police man behind said. The man stared at the purse and opened his phone to see if the image matches with what he saw, and indeed, it did. He left the scene and headed to the station.

Miss Lucy happily walked up to her home, at least, she had good news for the day and for Julie too. She suddenly stopped when she found some policemen at her door step and as it turned away to leave, one of them sighted her.

"Excuse me miss" he beckoned, and she stopped. What were they doing in her house.

"Yes? Is everything alright?" she questioned curious.

"You would be needed at the station and anything you say would be used against you". He furthered calmly.

"You're talking to a"

"Celebrity… that's why we're easy on you…come along with us now" another officer interjected, and she scoffed. It shouldn't be what she's thinking. Mrs Lucy sat opposite an investigator who interrogated her. She made sure she kept a straight face up, so she could be believed.

"So you mean you left that room exactly 2 minutes when the incident happened?" the woman yelled.

"Yes and could you lower your voice! I still have my rights" miss Lucy snapped and the woman scoffed.

"So it is true what you're in real life" the woman said.

"I don't believe what you say… according to reports…" the woman paused, stood up and walked towards the wall and a screen appeared showing she and Clara having words and some images of them fighting with words.

"If i'm not wrong, this was captured during various concert in which some fans had seen you both together…"

"Let me get this straight, i'm not in for this, I want to see the mayor" she requested standing up.

"Sit! I'm not done with you!"

"But am done with you". Miss Lucy stared at her eyeball to eyeball.

"This nonchalant attitude of yours might get you into trouble…can you stay calm?" the woman ordered, and miss Lucy sat back.

"I know who you are and what she can do to die down this case, but I won't let…"

"Are you threatening me?" she interrupted.

"No I'm just warning you" the woman beckoned and miss Lucy laughed.

"Aren't you meant to interrogate and not warn me?" she reprimanded, and the woman scoffed.

"Let me do my duty, woman!" she beckoned and stated all over again.

"What were you two doing in a guest room?"

"Excuse, how do you know…"

"The CCTV footage shows so, it was directly at that guest room corridors" she interjected.

"Yes…we were just…well, discussing..."

"Discussing what?" she snapped as miss Lucy looked at her confused, as though this lady was bent on attacking her with accusations.

"I hope you don't regret ever knowing me" miss Lucy concluded and stared quietly at the woman in front of her. She was going to say nothing, but just watch until this woman was over with her drama.

Mrs Lucy came out of the station and was crowded by the media.

"Damn could these people mind their business?" she thought pushing her way through them. CSI(crime scene investigator) walked out to address the press.

"Well I believe it was a misunderstanding…" he paused and gazed at miss Lucy who winked at him and entered her car.

"That woman" he thought.

"Yes what I'm trying to pose is that…". He gave a long speech which made everyone disembark with probing questions which wasn't answered, how could it just be a coincidence? Why would there be a general order to erase all form of rumors about miss Lucy? This excuse of theirs would prove abortive eventually.

Keva slides a book at the officer who made the announcement, she was suddenly surprised at the switch in plan.

"I have explained to you, she's just a suspect and not an accused".

"Why are you doing this?" she questioned with anger. She scoffed and looked up.

"Stop meddling in such people affairs, it might be dangerous" he cautioned flipping the book opened. How was he going to explain to this lady he was just following orders and doesn't know what was wrong exactly?

"Doesn't justice exist anymore? Was it the mayor who sent you? What did they discuss? Why was she head up high?" she rapped and the officer gasped.

"Please stop questioning me like a suspect I know nothing, let the matter just die down… that's all I can say". He said scrolling, his eyes on the book and his eyes met a picture. The officer wore his glasses to see clearly who this being was, and his curious look met with that of keva.

"Officer keva, can I have the biography of this person?" he suddenly questioned, and she swallowed hard with a bright face.

"There's a way out, right?" she muttered and gazed at the being profile.

"I saw him at the crime scene" he explained, and she nodded.

"I will get to you in a moment" she assured and walked away while he kept glancing at files .
