MURDER AND DETECTIVE

A TWIST FOR THOUGHT

CHAPTER 5

A

Detective Calixto couldn't wrap his head around what he had just seen. He thought Kimberly was Mike Bridgestone's girlfriend. Right now what he could see was a different thing from what thought. He decided to question them, because he wanted clarity. He asked Mike Bridgestone whom Roman was to him. Mike Bridgestone could not deny the fact from what detective Calixto had just seen so he decided to confess truthfully. He told the detective Calixto that Roman who was his boyfriend. We have been in love since their college days and Kimberly was just forcing herself on him. Detective calixto was staring at him in awe. He couldn't believe what he had just heard but he try to control himself because he was on to a case. Decided to get down to business. He asked Mike Bridgestone where he was on the night of Kimberly's murder. He said that himself and Roman had gone out to spend time with each other as they had planned before the party. He couldn't tell anyone because Aliyah came as Romans date and also no one knew that himself and Roman were in a relationship. He confirmed that he had planned to attend the party just to see Roman and not to meet with Kimberly. He had only bumped into her at the party. Calixto kept a stern face and continued questioning him. He asked him if he knew anything about Kimberly's murder but Mike Bridgestone denied even knowing that Kimberly was murdered, he said he had left the party over an hour ago who did not know what had happened after he left. Now detective Calixto was getting more interested after speaking to Mike Bridgestone and as usual he began accusing him. He said: I am very sure you did not leave over an hour ago before the murder took place you must have waited until you got your chance.You watched when no one was looking at you and you went after her when she walked to the bathroom, you struck her on the head and stabbed her till she gave up the ghost so that you could be with your lover because you saw her as an obstacle. Mike Bridgestone quickly denied all the allegations laid on him by the detective. Roman who was watching and listening to their conversation all along finally spoke up. Detective I know that because I barely even knew Kimberly during our college days you may not believe what I'm about to say but I can tell you confidently that Mike did not kill Kimberly. We didn't even have a reason to hurt her and you cannot accuse us without proof. Calixto knew that if he tried to say anything more it will all be to no avail,so, decided to end the conversation and thanked Mike Bridgestone for his cooperation, then he got up and left. Roman was right he couldn't accuse Mike Bridgestone without any proof nor lay any accusation on him,so, decided to book football trip to either convict Mike Bridgestone or lead to another clue find the real murderer. Right now he couldn't even lay the blame on any of his suspects because the clues keep leading him to another clue, He was going about in circles. He decided to go back to the crime scene but this time around, He was not going to leave till he gathered every single clue that may have been left at the crime scene. He went alone taking no one with him.

(At the hall)

Calixto looked around once more at the crime scene. He looked around very closely at every single nook and cranny of the hall. He looked for clues at every corner of the hall and found something interesting. The broken glass window was not locked, there was no signs of forced entry and it also seemed like the person came through the balcony and not from the party, someone let them in. Who could this be......

SUSPENSE.......
