Of chapter 33
(Next day)"Amelia, will you come down here please?" You hear Walker call from downstairs. "Coming!" You call back and head down the stairs. "We're in the livingroom." You hear him call. You walk in there and see Inspector Glicson and two police officers again. "Look, I already told you everything I know." You say, turning to leave the room. "Amelia, sit." Walker says calmly. You walk cautiously over to the couch and sit down next to Diana, you notice she is crying. "Amelia, these officers seem to think that you killed Amanda." Walker states, looking straight into your eyes. "I didn't, I already told them that." You say defensively. "We have your fingerprints on one of the liqour bottles, we want to do a Toxscreen (I think that's what it's called). We will take a urine sample and if it's clean we will let you go and never bother you again but if it's not then we will be forced to arrest you and make you stand trial. Would you be willing to do that?" Martha asks. "Uh....." You begin, looking nervously around the room at the many eager eyes. What do I do, you think to yourself. "Ok, I'll do it." You answer quietly. "But only if you promise to leave me alone after this." "Well, there is the deal of your finger prints on the liqour bottle." Martha asks, eyeing you. "Oh, she was throwing things into my room that night before the murder, I threw everything back down at her and she took everything back to her hotel." You answer, proud of yourself for thinking up the lie so quickly. "Why was she at your house?" Martha asks, sitting down across from you and taking out a pad of paper. "She came to sing songs to Zac and she was throwing letters, stuffed animals, liqour, soda, EVERYTHING into my balcony window. I got mad and threw everything back at her then went down to confront her." You answer. "What happened when you confronted her?" Martha asks. "She told me that she belonged with Zac and not me and she wanted to go out with him, then Zac said he would never go out with her and that we would always be toge- ther and said she was the ugliest, most annoying person he had ever met and no matter what he wouldn't go out with her. She got mad and started crying, grabbed her stuff that I had thrown back then ran off, I didn't see her since then." You answer boldly. "Oh, why didn't you tell us all this before?" Martha asks, her features loosening a bit. "You didn't ask. I watch a lot of lawyer shows and the lawyer always says not to volunteer information." You answer, still proud of yourself. "Oh." Martha says smiling. "Well I am sorry to have bothered you, and after that toxscreen, we won't be bothering you anymore, you don't seem to have a motive anymore, but I still need the toxscreen." "Is it really neccessary, since you don't have a motive, what's the point?" Walker asks, standing up to walk them to the door. "It's just a precaution, and it will look good that she did it, it won't look like she is hiding something." Martha answers. "Goodbye Mr. and Mrs. Hanson, Amelia." "Bye." You say and quickly run up to your room to tell Zac about this and hopefully find some way to get that toxscreen to come out negative.
