A.N.:
Chapter 5:
„What's this? Some sick joke? I fit is, it's not funny at all!"
Faith was unable to say anythin. She knew she'd heard the words the detective had spoken, but she just couldn't get them into her mind. It was unbelievable - more than that – grotesque, impossible. It was not to happen, it just couldn't be!
"I can assure you, I'm completly serious."
The detective's voice was low and freezing cold – pure hatred emerged from it and even more disgust. In his mind this just seemed an atempt to get away from the situation, to get out of it – but it wouldn't work.
"That's insane! You must be completly outta your mind!"
"It's not that insane to the young woman lying in hospital, who told me so, don't you think?"
"But I didn't do anything!"
"That's kinda funny, because she perfectly recalls you doing something!"
Faith finally found her speech once again. It must've been some terrible mistake. This was completly outta hand.
"You absolutely sure?"
"I don't have to be sure. I'm here on Miss Mandells testemony and she is completly sure! So you'll be joining me. Now!"
"I'm not going anywhere! I told you – I didn't do anything to her. At least nothing against her will!"
Faith suddenly stopped dead in everything she was about to be doing – deending him, talking to the detective, even thinking. She just stopped and focused on his last four words: "nothing against her will". She'd believed he didn't even know this woman, but she'd been wrong. The full gravity of his words striked her.
It all made sense to her now: his good mood, his overeagerness, his behaviour. He perfectly knew this girl and he definitely had sex with her... She was unwilling, unable to think any further.
Without even thinking about it, she took a step backwards, away from him, which he noticed.
"Didn't you listen to me. I said you're under arrest, so you can join me willingly or I'll force you to!"
The detective took a step closer and grabbed him by the arm, but Bosco wouldn't even react to him. He was completly puzzled by his partner's reaction
"Faith?"
"So you know her?"
He could barely stand the way she asked him that question, but looking into her eyes was more than he could stand. He could see it, there it was: reproach. She believed...? Oh good lord – he thought. She really believed what the detective accused on him. She believed he'd done this! He could see it by the expression on her face. He tried to get to her, wanted to grab her by her arms, shake her, make her understand that she was wrong, that she had to believe him. But he was held back by the detective.
"We leave! Now!"
Bosco didn't even react to him, his whole word had shut down to that meaningful, reproachful, sad look in her eyes. Nothing else mattered by now, but to make her believe him.
"Faith! You know this isn't true! You know I wouldn't do that! I would never! You know that!"
She didn't even react to him, she turned around, not taking another look at him and the detective dragged him away from her.
"You shut op now goddamn it! Don't make it even worse than it already is."
"Worse?" he thought by himself. This guy oughta be joking. He'd been suspected on raping a woman and his partner didn't believe him. It couldn't get any worse.
