Part 2 is here
And on to the third instalment…
Fiona wasn’t as good-looking as her sister, but she was definitely the clever one. It wasn’t just the glasses and the less confident manner. I just got the impression she was taking everything in. Sizing my life up. I tried not to act nervous.
“So…you’ve been in Hailey’s house, then? Did they leave a mess in there? Hailey always liked everything so clean.”
“Yes, she did. Never understood why. We weren’t brought up like that” Fiona tried for a smile, but she still couldn’t look at me for long. “Did you know her well?”
“I met her when she moved in about 5 years ago. Her removal men were being rough with her ‘sound system’. I went over to see if I could help.”
“That’s not how she told it” Fiona suddenly looked at me, and I didn’t like what that look said…
“Pardon?!”
“You were harassing her, weren’t you?”
“No!”
“Yes you were, she told me! Gifts and offers of nights out and…”
“Fiona! Calm down!”
“You killed her!”
“WHAT?!”
“You KILLED her! And I have proof, you bastard. I found your tie in her room!”
“Eh?!”
“Yes, your tie. You STRANGLED her, didn’t you?” She suddenly grabbed a coffee table book on art, and waved it above her head like a mad woman.
“No I did NOT! Fiona, you need to sit down! Jesus woman! You’re going to bloody…PUT THE BOOK DOWN!!!”
