Chapter 134: Chapter 134
The fact that she had never envisioned the police coming to her house, just sighting them through her window, made her heart sinks, as they approach her door.
"What could they want? she heard herself asking, as she approach the door to get it, before they even start knocking.
Panic surges through her veins, the weight of her hidden secrets suddenly unbearable.
She grapples with a mix of dread and apprehension, desperately trying to evade certain inquiries, while her mind races, contemplating the consequences of her actions.
She stood by the door, waiting for them to knick, while hoping that they are nit there for her, but her neighbor, who are fund of playing loud music.
When They knocked on the door, all her hope of having them go somewhere else vanished and she didn't hesitate, before opening the door.
Her breath catches, in her throat, because of the presence of the police, and their penetrating eye on her.
"Please come in". She says after they had introduced themselves, showing off their badges.
As she watch them walk in to take their seats, her pulse quickening with each passing second.
As she took her seat beside them, guilt and fear collide within her, forming a storm of emotions, she struggles to contain. She attempts to maintain composure, yet the weight of her concealed deeds makes it nearly impossible to feign innocence.
"Miss Sandra, do you know miss Juliet Davis? She was asked, and her heart sinks like a million times.
Have she been found? Have she gone to the police? Are they here to arrest her? She was asking herself, too scared to ask them, but then, she found herself asking, with wide eye.
"Have she been found? The police men exchanged glances before nodding their heads.
"That is why we are here, we want to know what you know, that could help us, anything about her disappearance". One of them said, and that was when she relaxed a bit, they were only there to question her.
"I heard someone have been apprehended as regards her missing, why are you questioning me? She asked them.
"We got information that you two are friends, and this friendship only started when you came back from the other side of the company called Winlowtech. We have also visited Winlowtech and we also learnt that she used to come over to that side to visit you, which means you are both good friends, so you might know just what we are talking about, and how best to help us find this your friend".
"We are not that close, she wanted promotion, because of my closeness with the boss. So when I was sent to winlot, she was hoping to take my position". She explains, trying to rule off the idea if her being friends with her, but the police men had other proof to show. She couldn't have just wanted only promotion, because even after Sandra had left the office, she still visited her at home, as they have learnt from neighbors.
The police men were going on and on, that her mind whirls, calculating every word to avoid revealing her involvement.
She dodges certain inquiries, carefully tiptoeing around the truth, while her thought frantically seek refuge in the safety of legal counsel.
She could already see that there are some questions that she could not give them answers to almost immediately, so with a tremor in her voice, she finally requests to speak with her lawyer, a lifeline in the murky waters of uncertainty and impending consequences.
"It hasn't gotten to that miss, we just want to know what you know, your information, might help us find this missing person". The police man says, trying to make her feel more comfortable to give them answers to their questions.
"I have told you all I know, but you keep asking, I am no longer interested In answering questions, please leave my house". She says and they raise their hands to show that they have no plans of making her feel uncomfortable, so they walked away, but not without saying.
"You can call your lawyer, because we will be visiting more, if any of our investigations lead us to you". They informed her, before exiting the door, she was clearly scared, she held on to the door, even after they had gone. As soon as she heard their car leave the premises, she started calling, she needs an update on Juliet, or she might just loose it.
