Chapter Eleven: In the evening: the same as no alibi

Two weeks earlier

Alissa Fir, a young woman in her 20's, had filed a missing person report less than 10 hours ago. It was for her boyfriend, john.

One week passed

"Hello?" Alissa called, "I could have sworn I saw someone there."

Three days passed

"I'm so glad you're here!" Alissa said

"Me too!" said her brother, Alex.

A timer beeped from the kitchen, and Alissa got up to tend to it. While she was in the kitchen, she heard footsteps behind her

"Be patient, Alex! I'm almost done."

Then the person behind her stabbed her in the back. She collapsed.

Present

The police station in Freyly was not a pleasant place to be. The paint on the walls was peeling off to show a plain brick wall and there was a weird musty odor. I repeat, not a pleasant place to be. Katrina, however, had to put up with this.

"Whaddu you want, kid" 'Kid?'

"I want information for the murder of Alissa fir."

"Uh… I can't give just anyone information like that!"

This, was why Katrina always carried her information and why she (obviously) had a badge. She showed him her badge, and he stared blankly at it, as if it was in some foreign language. When he (finally) looked up, he seemed content.

"Hold on a moment I'll get it for you." He walked away.

'Hm, that was easy.' Katrina wondered why. When the man came back he was holding a large envelope.

"Here you go, miss." He held out the envelope and Katrina took it, then immediately handed it to Oliver.

"Alissa fir, age 28, cause of death: stabbed. Reported dead by her brother Alex. Her boyfriend, John, had been reported missing a week and three days prior to her death," Oliver was reading the report.

"Then the most obvious suspect would immediately be her brother. However it would be very careless of him to commit a murder where he is so obviously a suspect. However, let's see, the boyfriend could have thought, 'well I'll make myself appear missing, that way I have an alibi,' but that's not a very good alibi considering that he could be anywhere at any giving time, since, the police haven't found any leads as to where he is. He could easily disguise himself in order to sneak into Alissa's house. Having such an alibi, that on first glance is perfect, is almost the same as having no confirmed alibi at all."

A/N: wow. This took me a very long time. =3 now time for the Freyly Murderer arc to fully begin!
