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…796Please respect copyright.PENANAST98MXg7JW

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.796Please respect copyright.PENANAaHC6TqqqD0

“The Inspector is here.” A policeman snapped.796Please respect copyright.PENANAXsESM2EksC

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.796Please respect copyright.PENANAjIckoWgnTh

“Inspector Vikram…” A small voice spoke from the corner.796Please respect copyright.PENANA4IFaOooGvQ

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.796Please respect copyright.PENANAm6yOggay5l

“What’s up with Jo?” Jenny whispered.796Please respect copyright.PENANAyCfNAtt170

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.796Please respect copyright.PENANA4WiDpTbrLO

“Joseph?” The Inspector exclaimed. His slit eyes narrowed dangerously.796Please respect copyright.PENANA0KHIC9u5ts

“It wasn’t me…”796Please respect copyright.PENANAG8Ql36y9uo

“No confession this time, huh?” The Inspector said coldly.796Please respect copyright.PENANAEg9tM7H475
796Please respect copyright.PENANA6I2RBpOHvf
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.796Please respect copyright.PENANAXH3Kh6Ji05

“It wasn’t me…” It yelled. “Not this time…”796Please respect copyright.PENANALaoh2h2ZrH
