Chapter 1:

Candace Leopold's Apartment

8 PM

Candace Leopold was in her apartment, watching television. She was wearing her red bathrobe as she had just finished taking a shower. Watching tv was one of her past times. She had been struggling to find work since her old boss, Rupert Thorne had fired her. It was also hard because of her criminal history. Luckily, she had managed to get a job at Bergduff's Department Store to pay her bills.

She was just starting to relax when there was a loud knock on her door.

"Police! Open Up!" The police officer commanded. There were two police officers outside her door.

"The police? What are they doing here? I haven't committed a crime in a while." Candace thought as she walked over and answered the door.

"Candace Leopold?" One of the officers asked.

"Yes, that's me. What's this about?" Candace asked.

"Candace, you are under arrest of the murder of Rupert Thorne. Put your hands behind your back. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law." one the officers said, cuffing her.

Candace was shocked.

"What? Rupert's dead? and You're arresting me? But I didn't do it! I didn't even know about it until you just told me. I'm innocent!" Candace said.

"Save it for the judge, Miss Leopold." One of the officers told her.

And with that, they put Candace in the squad car and drove off to the police station.

"I can't believe Rupert's dead. More importantly, who's framing me for it?" Candace thought.

When they arrived at the stationhouse, Candace was taken inside and booked.

She was then taken to an investigation room to be questioned.

"I want an attorney!" Candace said.

Without even being questioned, Candace had already lawyered up.

To be continued.
