The Arrest

I just checked my watch for the time and it was exactly 9:15 am, I have to hurry up to meet with

Dr Amanda before going for my shift later that morning.

“Good morning Miss Kate” I heard behind me, “good morning” I responded before I could even turn back. A young man in his late twenties in a neat

police uniform was standing right behind me.

To say I was shocked would be an understatement, “how may I help you officer?” I asked.

“Please miss, you have been invited to the polices stationfor a statement.” “Okay,” I answered. With that I entered a journey with an unknown destination.

Back at the station, I was taken to the interrogation room.

“Good morning, Miss Kate, my name is Emma Well and am the detective in charge of the case. So Miss, can you narrate what happened on May 6th?” he asked. I narrated the incident of that night to him.

“Do you remember the place he was going to? or the name of the person he spoke with over the phone?” he asked.

“No” I replied. That was it for today I thought in my mind, let me get this over with and go for medical check-up.

“Did anything happen later that morning?” he asked. “Which morning?” I asked trying to grasp the meaning of that question. “Well nothing much” I replied.

“However, the files I have here said otherwise” he said with a smirk, “anything you’re not telling me?” he asked.

“I had a little altercation with Albert’s mom” I found myself mumbling with realization.

“The report we have said that: you assaulted Mrs Melissa in her house and threatened to kill her.”

 “What!?” I shouted, there was no such thing I thought. Then I remembered Melissa’s last words:” Kate you will pay for this.”

As we were talking, detective Emma received a phone call that a search warrant have been issued for my apartment.

Melissa would not let go of a golden opportunity to remove me from Albert’s life.

“Kate” he called, after receiving the second call, “I think you’ll be spending some time with us today and for the next forty-eight hours, if no conclusive evidence is found then you would be free to go then” he said with resignation.

I knew that instant that he was puzzled by the whole incident. “… there are lots of loopholes in the case…” I overheard him saying to the other detective, a female in her thirties who I would later know as Kayla.

Albert is a secret agent, I thought I have made peace with his secret and not interfering with his work.

“If only I had known,” I said with regret,” just if only, I would have paid more attention to his work.”

“Here are your flowers, please sign on it” he continued; that brought me back to reality. Who would bring me flowers on a day like this? I thought; whatever.

On looking up it was a red rose, something about it made me want to throw up. Who would gift me a rose flower?

At this time all the officers were watching me from behind the interrogation room probably trying to decipher my reaction.

I clearly saw Melissa there making a scene. I couldn’t make out what she was saying, however I couldn’t help but imagine the slanderous comments she would be making about me.
