My mind screamed as I looked at her convulsed face. Her brilliant blue eyes were wide open, terror frozen in their glassy depths. Uniformed policemen were casually referring to her as the victim or the body. I wanted to shout at them…tell them it was not ‘the body’ or the ‘victim’. It was Pinky. Jolly’s little sister…Little Pinky…611Please respect copyright.PENANAgjOYshDnpA

“Move!”611Please respect copyright.PENANAg8SyXlQmHV

A sharp voice exclaimed. As I moved away from the overcrowded doorway of the shop, I noticed that a new police car had just arrived.611Please respect copyright.PENANA7PXKZl5CVo
611Please respect copyright.PENANA8OrxPDrKJN
“The Inspector is here.” A policeman snapped.611Please respect copyright.PENANA8IBL5ONaJ4

Out of the car stepped a giant of a man. He must be well over 6 feet, I mused as he walked by me. Taller than almost everyone gathered over there. Ridiculously well built. His eyes, tiny, bloodshot slits, threw hard stares at the crowd as he talked to a young boyish looking policeman.611Please respect copyright.PENANAkvhr5rSOp2

“Inspector Vikram…” A small voice spoke from the corner.611Please respect copyright.PENANAjiiW3VECAJ
611Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0KnTqrUMn
A man, shaking from head to toe was crouched there. He was staring at the Inspector through frightened eyes rather like a deer caught in a trap.611Please respect copyright.PENANAmDkoDnGOZq

“What’s up with Jo?” Jenny whispered.611Please respect copyright.PENANAxECdNevcLw

Anyone who knew the charming owner of Urban Beauty would have asked the same thing. But I knew. I knew because the voice had been muttering in my ears. All those people around me…They were thinking terrible things about Joseph. He was withering in their accusing glances…And the Inspector…All colour had drained from Jo’s face at the sight of the man.611Please respect copyright.PENANAKD9SO9JLQK

“Joseph?” The Inspector exclaimed. His slit eyes narrowed dangerously.611Please respect copyright.PENANAVdTBGFR4WC
611Please respect copyright.PENANAqoKxXO6U4g
“It wasn’t me…”611Please respect copyright.PENANAC0RWwhzT4s

“No confession this time, huh?” The Inspector said coldly.611Please respect copyright.PENANAaM6t5cZdTI
611Please respect copyright.PENANA8cqrDKSW4N
It took a while for the significance of those words to sink in. The people murmured angrily. Most of them seemed to have decided that Joseph was the killer. I heard the voice again, loud and clear.611Please respect copyright.PENANAgH2kJ3f0iz

“It wasn’t me…” It yelled. “Not this time…”611Please respect copyright.PENANAPSsf5ovu3J
