I sat for what seemed like an eternity until the Inspector Reappeared. His facial expression was a concerned frown. He said "I am going to have to ask you some questions regarding the disappearance of one of your colleagues Rahul. What's happened to him is he alright?" I haven't seen him since when was it last week!" I am sorry to inform you but Rahul Bhatnagar was found dead in his apartment. "Oh No! My God! What the hell! What happened?

Detective Burnside paused for a few searing seconds "That is what we want to ask you Miss!"

My pulse started to thump, my mouth dried up, my tongue seemed to shrivel in to a piece of sandpaper. I could barely utter a word. I was given a caution. "You are reminded you’re not obliged to say anything unless you wish to do so but anything you do as may be taking down in writing and used in evidence. Do you understand that?" I could but utter a groan. At this point I felt beside myself. Why on earth would the police suspect that I had anything to do with Rahul Bhatnagar's Death?

I understand you had drinks with Rahul on such and such a date. Yes then What Happened/ I don't know I can remember. I put it to you that on the night in question you returned to Rahul's home where at some state you engaged in sexual intercourse. What do you have to say about that? Well in said I guess it’s possible but. Well look here we have found DNA evidence on my Rahul's body which I believe we can safely say belongs to you. Skin flakes under his fingernails and bodily fluid about his penis area Right? Okay I guess that must be!" I said.

The Burnside said "You are entitled to make a phone call and consult with a Lawyer. Would you like to exercise that right? I said somewhat 'non-plussed' and still in shock "yes of course!"

I mad a call to my friend and Lawyer and told her of my plight. She advised don't make any admissions except your name and address I will be down there right away to demand bail for your. All of a sudden I felt a whole lot better and felt far less fearful. I waited again for what seemed like a lifetime for my Lawyer friend to turn up.

My friend Lawyer turns up, she is put into a room with me alone. After a few shared hugs and kisses she reluctantly says "They are going to charge you with Murder." I said "For god sake no you know me! I would never ever do such a thing." She said "Yes I know that ! Don't worry I know you are innocent! I am right behind you and will stand by you all the way!"

My lawyer friend sat beside me and the Burnside continued to interrogate me.

"I understand your a Lawyer yourself Miss Wilson ?" Burnside asked. "Well yes of course. He said, "And your father is Justice Wilson on the bench of the High Court of Australia; Is that right?" "Well yes of course, yes he his." I said, "He would hate to think of the very possibility I have even been interviewed by police. Let alone charged with the very gravest of offences, that of Murder."
