THE METAL CHAIR CAUSES SHIVERS TO FLY DOWN HER SPINE, HER BODY NUMB AS SHE STARES INTO THE MAN, WHOSE SITTING IN FRONT OF HER, SOUL BLANKLY, CLEARLY BORED.
"Do you know why you're here today, Ms. Kane?" he questions, a notepad—eerily similar to her therapist's—laying on the table, almost perfectly in between the two.
"Uh, not really." She lies, slouching against the uncomfortable seat.
"Well, how about Tuesday night? You went to Steve Harrington's home, correct?"
"Correct." She mocks, earning a glare from the officer.
"What were you doing?" his eyes dig into hers.
"Hanging out with a few friends." She shrugs, confused, amused—by how horrible at interrogation he is.
"Was Barbara Holland there?" he asks, finally getting to the point. God, Alex would be better at this shit than him, or so she thinks.
"Yes, she was there." She nods with an awkward face.
"What was she doing?" the man asks.
"What do you think? She was sitting down, just like all of us were." She sasses with pointed eyes.
"Hey, the sarcasm is unnecessary. Did anything seem suspicious?" he inquires, eyes soft—trying to entice her to give him more answers. They didn't work.
"No, it was a normal night." She deflects, fiddling with her rings.
"When was the last time you saw her?"
"Before I left." She answers, annoyed.
"And when was that?"
"I don't know." She answers bluntly.
"You have a watch." He points out, "Right on your wrist."
"That doesn't mean I have it on twenty-four-seven."
