Chapter 16 : Love fruit

Anne Pov :

Me and Xavier throughout the ride were looking at each other.  None of us spoke a single word .

Soon we reached the station , we were separated as soon as we reached. Both of us were put into different rooms for investigation.  I've never been here before , it's a room with no windows just walls.

After waiting for hours , Mr.Hills enters with a file

"Hello Anne , this is the first time we are meeting right?" he asks me . I nod , I don't have the courage to speak right now. "It won't be the last time and I want words , clear words Anne" he says in a warning tone.

"Y...y..yes" I shutter a little .

"Xavier's investigation is done , so now it's your turn . A little advice to you don't lie , whatever the truth is just say it " Mr.Hill looks at me and says , he puts a recorder on the table and turns it on .

"This interrogation is being recorded for evidence proof , the prime suspect number 2 is Anne Bronte"

He continues ," So Let's start with an easy question,

What's your name ?" He ask

The investigation goes on.

Anne : My name is Anne Bronte , I don't have a middle name because I am an orphan .

Mr. Hill : Okay , Were you the one who called today to report about Frank Nolen's body?

Anne : Yes , I was going to work and I saw him hanging so I called 911.

Mr. Hill : Why did you leave when the police arrived?

Anne : I work as a delivery person , I get paid as I deliver if there is any delay , a certain amount is deducted and I can't be late , I can't afford it .

Mr. Hill : Okay , have you met Frank Nolen before?

Anne : Yes

Mr. Hill : When ?

Anne : Me and Xavier met at the gate of the park . We met him there.

Mr. Hill : Is it true that Xavier threatened him ?

Anne : Yes he did.

Mr. Hill : Will you elaborate why Xavier threatened him ?

Anne : We were standing and talking , Frank came and started to harass me , he started to eve tease me and called me names , he wanted Xavier to leave me alone with him so he could rape me .

As I say these tears fall down remembering the night and kidnapping. Mr.Hill hands me a glass of water.

Mr.Hill : Okay continuing , So you agree that Xavier threatened him ?

Anne : Yes

Mr.Hill : Is there anything else that happened later that night?

Anne : n..n..noo

I take a glass of water and finish it in one go . Mr.Hill looks at me for a second and goes back at interrogation.

Mr.Hill : According to CCTV footage , after the fight the CCTV goes static , something you know about?

Anne : No

Mr.Hill : Okay , How was your relationship with Sam ? You know him right?

Anne : Yes I know Sam , we used to study in the same school. He .. he.. he was my Bully.

Mr.Hill : he bullied you ? For how long ?

Anne : Yes, he did Bully me since I started high school.

Mr.Hill : Did You report this bullying  to the higher Authority ?

I shake my head " No" I say

Mr.Hill : Why ?

Anne :I was scared . I am an orphan I don't have a family who looks after me. I have to think about the consequences of whatever I do .

Mr.Hill : Did you kill Sam?

I got stunned by his sudden question.

Anne : No I didn't

Mr.Hill : What were you doing on the night when Sam was killed?

Anne : I was sleeping in my room at an orphanage. You can ask Aunty Sophie. She was in charge of my well-being.

Mr.Hill : And what were you doing on the night when Frank died?

Anne : I was sleeping at my studio.

Mr.Hill : You said that you work for delivery? For whom do you work and is there anything else you work at?

Anne : I don't know my boss , the delivery work comes to orphanage and then gets assigned to us orphans . I also work at library near the bus stop.

Mr.Hill : You will be kept in jail for 2 days in order to interrogate if anything comes up.

I can't stay here , what does he mean by I will be in jail for 2 days , no no that cant happen. I will lose my job . I will lose everything.

A lady comes in and takes me in the cell . I am kept separate from Xavier . This is what happens when you fall in love. Your world shatters. Finally in my life I am experiencing love and I end up in jail in accusation of Murder. Tears fall down as I reach my cell , my phobia for darkness kicks in .

The cell is  dark , there is just a single bulb which is emitting a little , enough to see the surrounding.

I can't tell what time is it , is it day or night . I don't know anything. All I could think about Xavier and Me and how did we end up here. Tears are uncontrollably falling down my face.

I don't know for how many hours I cried but the last thing I remember is that I fell asleep leaning on the wall .

Xavier Pov :

Again in the same fucking room , I don't know why do I end up here every single time. Why is this killer trying to frame ?

Mr.Hill enters and takes his seat. He looks at me and puts a recorder down .

Mr.Hill says "This interrogation is being recorded for the investigation purpose related Sam's and Frank Nolen's Murder case"

The investigation starts:

Mr.Hill : So , Xavier you know the procedure of the interrogation I'll start directly. You may use words clearly for every answers.

Xavier: Yes sir

Mr.Hill : How do know Frank Nolen?

Xavier :I know him from the night when I and Anne were meeting at the gate of the park late at night and that sick pig tried to harass her.

Mr.Hill : That's how you know him ?

Xavier: Yes

Mr.Hill : Did you know his name or met him before this incident?

Xavier : No I didn't have any idea on who he is .

Mr.Hill : Did you know that he works for your grandfather?

Xavier : No I don't

Mr.Hill : is it correct you threatened him?

I gulp before answering "Yes"

Mr.Hill : You have been investigated and interrogated for Sam's Murder . What were you doing on the night of the Murder?

Xavier : I was probably in my room . I had a talk with Anne I guess so I slept early .

Mr.Hill : What talk?

Xavier : Just normal chats of what's her plan etc etc

Mr.Hill : So after your and Frank Nolen's fight you never met him again?

Xavier: No . I didn't

Mr.Hill stands up and goes around the table and stops the recorder , " How is every Murder related to you?" , he looks at me suspiciously.

"That's what I am trying to figure . Someone is trying to frame me sir . I think this someone is the victim of my grandfather's crime. Now they want revenge"

I say looking down.

Mr.Hill keeps his hand on my shoulder and walks towards the door . "Are you going to interrogate Anne ?" I ask . He turns around, " Yes for Sam's as well as these murder" and then he walks away.

Two officers escorted me to my cell . I am going to stay here for 2 days for interrogation if anything comes up. Because of me now Anne is stuck here as well. My heart clenches at the thought of her in cells alone. She has a fear of dark and now this.

I hope someone helps us out of here and the first thing I will do is finding what the fuck my grandfather did and who the fuck is killing these people and why.

I sit on the concrete floor and lean my head on the walls thinking about how I will execute my plan.

Killer pov:

"It's time for another surprise." I say as I see Xavier being dragged down to the cell .
