No More Tears - EDITING NOW!

Chapter 13

Chapter 13.

        The Interviews:

        When called in for questioning after coming forward with her evidence, eye witness to Scarlett's death, Sara Carpenter started to worry she'd be next.

        She'd watched far too many films where the eyewitness gets killed for knowing the truth.

        From the block of apartments over from where Scarlett used to live, she saw everything. And thats what she told Detective Lee when she'd arrived the next day with a young police officer, John Aimes.

        He had jotted everything down while Miranda Lee listened and asked the questions.

        She's also been told about the other deaths occuring at the hotel, which of course made it worse... Especially since she found out that the people that died, had either known Scarlett, or her sister Averia.

        What if they find me next?

        The detective can't say anything though, I requested to stay anonymous. Sara thought to herself one night.

        While she was home alone, watching television with a cup of peppermint tea.

        With their cat and her 7 year old daughter, Jaya-Lee curled up beside her, resting her head on her legs, Sara thought about the whole situation.

        That's another thing that worried her, she has a young daughter to look after, alone. Jaya-Lee's father died of cancer when she was just 4 months of age.

        It was just her and Jaya-Lee in that small apartment.

        She knows what she saw that night, and is even trying to start up a petition to get Tom out of the frame for it. She knows he didn't do it. A woman did.

        Luckily the night Scarlett plummetted swiftly towards her death, Jaya-Lee wasn't home. Sara had let her stay out at a friends house.

        If Jaya-Lee had heard that scream, she'd have been scarred for life! 

        That's another thing...with how shrill and loud her scream was... how come no one else heard? 

        Surely it would have woken her husband up... 

        I know it would have woke me up.

        Jaya-Lee returned home with her friend Tamara and her mother Fiona just half an hour after her body was found.

        Jaya-Lee had seen the police, the FBI and forensics experts on their way past in the car.

        The first thing she'd said when she came into the apartment was, 'What's happenes over there?' Now Sara had to explain everything...

        To a 7 year old....

        'Well... last night darling...'

        After the explanation, Jaya-Lee and Tamara were left teary eyed and open mouthed. Fiona was making drinks for everyone.

        Coffee for her and Sara, Blackcurrant squash for the two girls.

        Obviously after a while, the girls forgot about the whole thing, due to their toys and cartoons.
