Ethan sat anxiously in the police interview room with his leg bouncing up and down with a solicitor that has been assigned to him. They waited for a detective and officer to walk in which finally happens.

"Dr Hardy. Apologises for the wait." The detective walked in and sat down. "I'm detective Bishop and this is Officer George." Ethan said nothing. "I understand you don't want to be here but we just need to ask a few questions. Okay?" Ethan didn't want to answer but he just nodded in response. "Okay. Let's get started." The detective got a tape recorder ready and pressed record. "For the benefit of the tape, can I ask for your full name?"

"Dr Ethan Hardy." Ethan spoke anxiously.

"Ethan, you have been assigned a legally representative named Mr Wickerson. Could you please identify yourself for the tape, Mr Wickerson?"

"Samuel Wickerson." The man spoke with a deep voice. Solicitor.

"Okay. Ethan, Dr Hardy. On the night of the 23rd of May 2016, you have been arrested for assault and GBH which is now a murder enquiry." The detective spoke. Ethan then looked at her, shocked.

"Murder?" Ethan asked, confused.

"Mr Craigs passed away a few hours ago, Ethan. You should of been told." Detective Bishop spoke. Ethan shook his head sideways. "I know this is hard, Ethan but we want to hear your side of the story so just start when you are ready." The detective smiled a little. Ethan exhaled a huge breath then began.

"I was on my way to work when I heard Caleb pleading to this man. He owed him money or something so I stayed hidden until I rushed to Caleb's aid after he had been stabbed. The guy who stabbed him ran away." Ethan spoke.

"So how did your prints end up on this knife?" The officer asked, who was way more firm than the detective. "For the benefit of the tape, I am showing the suspect exhibit A." The officer pulled out the knife in an evidence bag.

"My hand must of caught it as I helped Caleb. The knife was by his side when I came to him." Ethan spoke back.

"And this man, did you catch a name? Or any descriptions? 1830 hours in the late spring/summer, can't have been dark." The officer spoke. He was really getting on Ethan's nerves.

"Connor. Caleb said his name was Connor as he was talking to him. He threatened to harm Caleb's children if he didn't pay him back." Ethan answered. "I couldn't get any description though."

"Okay. Thank you Ethan. You need to be approved for bail which will probably be in the morning but you will stay in a cell for tonight. If you do get bail we are going to let you go in the morning but you are advised to stay away from your workplace till the hearing. Do you understand?" Detective Bishop asked. Ethan couldn't believe it. Now he couldn't go to work? This was mad but he nodded anyway. "Interview suspended at 2203 hours." The detective then got up and left. But the officer stayed.

"Some help you were." Ethan spoke down at the solicitor. The solicitor then stood up being bigger and taller than Ethan.

"At the minute, I'm gathering information that could make you innocent so I wouldn't keep using that attitude if I was you. I'm most likely the only one who believes you right now." Mr Wickerson spoke then left. The officer grabbed Ethan and walked him to the main desk to hand in his phone, shoes etc and then to a shared cell.

"You'll be staying with Andy for the night. He will look after you." The officer spoke as he opened the cell door.

"Yeah. I'll look after him." Andy smiled evilly. Ethan looked at him nervously as the officer pushed him into the cell and locked the door. Ethan sighed then sat on one of the beds.

"That's my bed." Andy spoke. You can sleep over on that one." Andy pointed to the bed behind him.

"What's the difference?" Ethan muttered under his breath.

"What did you say, nerd?" Andy angered slightly, Ethan looked up at him then stood up.

"I said, what's the difference?" Ethan spoke back smugly. He had to stand up for himself to survive here. Andy grabbed Ethan by the collar and threw him into the wall.

"Listen nerd, you're going to be staying here for a while so I suggest you be nice to me or else. I'm in here for assault and believe me, I know my own strength." Andy stared into Ethan's scared eyes then backed away from him and sat on his bed. Ethan exhaled a breath, hoping for this night to go by quickly.

Had to make the interview quite short because it can get boring but the real problem is: will Ethan survive the night?

Hope you are enjoying this so far : )
