I believe it's already late in the afternoon, I was lying down on the floor, reminiscing on how a single friend I have made happened to get me in this situation. Have I been all stuffy and alone like always, would I have ended up in this mess?, I don't know. The cell door was opened, they asked me to come out, I gently stepped pass the others so that I wouldn't step on any of them. On getting to the cell door, the put on the handcuffs on my wrist before getting me outside and directing me back to that same room as before. Sitting there, I waited close to five minutes before someone came to join me, it was that same prosecutor, he's back again to proceed with his ridicules towards me. He just gently walked to where I sat, this time, he didn't take a seat, rather he kept standing, eyes looking into mine. I didn't say a word about the way he's looking at me, I just don't care or will I ever will. “ You see, chameleons usually blend in into the environment they found themselves, making them hard to detect, but there are people out there who always find them no matter how they try to hide, and I am one of them..... The truth is, your gentleness almost tricked me, but, there are always things beyond your knowledge..... You see, right now, you're stuck, like, checkmate, can you find a way out?, We'll see about that....” He sat down, then started looking at me as if he wanted me to say something, if he wanted me to, then I rather tell him exactly what's in my mind. “ Looks to me like you're not doing your job well....” I said. He angrily reacted to my confirmation, grabbing my collar like he was about to punch my face, even though the table was separating us, he drew me closer so that we would possibly be sharing the table half and half. He then pushed me back to my seat, started laughing as he began removing his cufflinks, opening the first two buttons of his collar and coming closer to me, dragging his hand on the table as he got to me, then sat on top of the table by my side. “ I wonder whether you know the level of your offense, if you're found guilty, you might be serving life in jail at such a young age or you'll be put to death..... I guess you don't know that.” He was trying to threaten me, to instill fear into me, but would that help him, it's a capital No, I am always ready for anything, if death comes knocking, I wouldn't be the first, at least the number of the dead who once came to Earth are possibly hundreds times larger than those living now. “ I don't know what you've heard, but if you decide to investigate through this properly, you'll end up apologizing for ever putting me in this position just because I was trying to bend backwards to protect a friend....” He was just nodding. He possibly wasn't into this case, if he was, then he'll realize there's more to this than he knows. He stood up, went back to his seat and sat down, looking into his laptop on the table between us. “ You see.... That call came from a witness who knew things about this case more than you imagined, I don't know yet about what you did, but looking from the scenario, You possibly wouldn't be escaping this, even if you're innocent, you're stuck, like really stuck....” “ I'm trying to be polite here, I'm not stuck and will never be, I stand by what I said earlier, if you look into this case like you should, then I would possibly be getting an apology after all this from you, I mean that, even though I have seen the way you handle things, your work is too poor, but if you even put a 60% effort into this case, you'll regret getting me here....” “ You're so confident.” “ Because I know there's nothing to investigate about this, not even a single bit...” I claimed, not reacting to the debate, just saying my mind without flinching. He then pushed his laptop to face me, it was a clip, he pressed it to play and the person I saw struck me by surprise, Blake. He turned it back around, a smile on his face, thinking that he just got me in the box like he had assumed. “ Still going to be confident about your claims?....” he asked, making joke out of it. I wasn't expecting to see Blake in that clip, what is she doing there?, Was she coming against me or trying to pull me out of this?, By what he said earlier, that I have been nailed, I guess she wasn't here to vouch for me, instead she possibly might've come to frame me, she has a lot of reasons to. I've known Blake from the moment she introduced herself to me, the look on Barrett's face doesn't show any sign of him wanting to introduce his girlfriend to me, but Blake, a secret whore who goes about Fucking with guys, possibly even with those Barrett doesn't know, she would want to get herself out of this chart by pushing me further into this setback, she might've possibly twisted a lot of things which would definitely sound like the truth, now I wonder what she had confessed to pin me down. “ I can see the shock on your face buddy, possibly a game over for you. I expected that you'll get out of this, but looks like I was almost tricked and wrong about you.... So tell me, and I want nothing but the truth, did you kill your roommate because of his girlfriend?....”
