Chapter Five

Days before assassination: 4

Adrian decided to take some time off work. Just enough time to bring this problem to an end.

She continually walked around her apartment, both anxiously and frantically. She had been up all the night before, thinking of ways to stop the assassination. She tried making dozens of phone calls, trying to contact Mr. Shelly DeKiller, but to no appeal.

After giving much taught to this problem,. All she came up with was contacting Mr. Wright. So, she left her apartment and went to the Wright & Co. Law Offices.

As Adrian Arrived, she could see police cars and officers all over the place, looking ready to shoot anyone who walked by. She cautiously walked out of her car, feeling like a criminal, hoping no officer would take her down to the precinct.

"Please present some identification before entering the building, please," said the officer by the door.

Adrian didn't look at him. She had a bad feeling about this. If she showed him her ID, then he would certainly bring her to the precinct; but if she didn't do anything, she may look suspicious. She could feel her heart beating as she hesitantly took out her Id.

"Adrian Andrews, huh?... Hey, I know you! You're the one who wants Mr. Wright dead, aren't you, pal?" he said.

She look up at hearing the "pal".

"Detective Gumshoe?" she asked, finally looking at him.

"That's my name, don't wear it out." He smiled as the words left his mouth. "Well, I'm gonna have to bring you down for questioning."

"Wait, Detective. Don't you remember me I was part of the Matt Engarde case," she told him.

"...Hey! I remember you! You were the one who forged the evidence, weren't you, pal!?"

"...Yes... but... I need you to do me a favor."

"Why would I do that? You are the one who hired the assassin."

"It wasn't me, honest." she held up her palm as she said this. 'Mr. Wright isn't my enemy. He helped me in that case. If it weren't for him, I'd have probably been found guilty. So, why would I want him dead? I just need to seem him, please?"

"...Okay pal. But I"m gonna have to go with you to make sure you don't have any murderous intent towards Mr. Wright."

"Thank you, detective Gumshoe."
