The clock doesn’t stop ticking.
It’s one of those simple round clocks. There’s nothing
special about the white backing and thick black frame. Tick,
tick, tick. It’s loud and unforgiving. The torture of it is all I can focus on to
bring me sanity as the last hours of my life fall like dominoes in my
memory.
The money in the trunk.
“You still haven’t explained where you got the three hundred thousand
dollars.” Officer Walsh’s voice is hard.
The blood on Jase’s clothes and the look in his eyes when I came into
his bathroom.
“Or why you were covered in blood. Whose blood is it, Miss Fawn?
You need to tell us.”
Fear is what motivated me to run from him. Fear is the cause of all of
this. It’s left me now, though. In its place is something more resigned.
One long, deep breath falls from me as I stare at the painted white
bricks of the interrogation room’s walls and listen to the tick, tick, tick.
My piss-poor decisions have led to this point in my life.
The point of waiting. I’ve fucked it up enough; I may as well just let it
all fall. When Alice fell, she landed in Wonderland. I’m thinking that’s not
where I’ll land, but I’m ready to feel the weightlessness of what’s to come.
I’m simply tired of fighting it.
There’s another officer in the room. He’s younger. When I first listened
to their demands for me to answer their questions, I sat here hours ago with
my shoulders tense and feeling the need to curl up into a ball and hide. The
young cop sat across from me, his arms crossed and his gaze never
wandering from me.
I don’t like him or the way he looks at me.
“We’re doing a DNA test now. You think it’s going to hit, Walsh?” The
other officer, Linders, finally speaks to Walsh, even if his eyes are still
pinned on me. There’s a certain level of disdain that seeps into my skin
every time I meet his gaze.
“I’ll tell you what I think,” Officer Walsh answers. He’s staring at me
too, even as he taps the stack of papers in his hand and continues, “I think
she was in the wrong place at the wrong time and that she has names.”
Tick, tick, the clock goes on. It’s been like this for hours in this cold
interrogation room. An ache in my back reminds me how uncomfortable
this metal chair is.
“I don’t think so. I think she was hired for a hit or was hiring someone
else and it went wrong.” Officer Linders speaks clearly, although his voice
is low and rough. “A hit or drugs. There’s no other explanation. Who’d you
get the cash from?” he asks me.
