Alice – Not much really. I worked late. I was planning on going to see my friend, Dana in San Diego that night. I got home, unlocked the door, and stepped in. Thats when everything went blank. From that time till I woke up at my friends’ house, remains a blank.

Det. Landry – You did the right thing by coming here. Your memory should start returning. I’m concerned that you waited too long to come here though. Evidence gets washed away, tampered with or taken from the scene. I’m sure you’ve showered or bathed since the attack, am I correct?

Alice – Yes.

Det. Landry – After we’re done here, I’ll have a doctor examine you. Now going back to the part about entry…. does anyone have a key to your apartment?

Alice – My mother, Lenore has a key. The only other person who has one is Dana.

Det. Landry – I see…. tell me about Dana.

Alice – Her name is Dana Fairbanks. She’s a professional tennis player. She is also my best friend.

Det. Landry – I see….

He was looking at her inquisitively. This made Alice uncomfortable, like Dana was a suspect.

Det. Landry – Thats all you can tell me about her? I need her phone number. She’ll need to come in.

A few questions later, she was done. Bette and Tina both had there interviews. Both revealing interesting facts to the detective. Alice’s reactions and the one piece of evidence that was missing from the crime scene. The piece of rope taken by Dana Fairbanks.

Bette and Tina took Alice to the hospital to be examined. All evidence would be sent directly to Det. Landry and put in the report.

Alice was asked to disrobe, putting on one of those gowns that exposes your backside to all. Being poked and prodded, made her feel even more violated. More so when it came to the vaginal examine. They tried to make her feel comfortable, but how can you, when you fell like a piece of meat being picked apart by vultures. It left Alice feeling cold and distant.

The report went back to Det. Landry. Calling in an officer.

Det. Landry – I want this, Dana Fairbanks brought in. She’s involved somehow. I’m interested in what she could tell me….

Officer – I’m on it.

Gina’s connections came through. She was liking the outcome so far. Dana was looking like a suspect. Her plan would work perfectly. She had her hypnotherapist friend who would plant thoughts in Alice’s head…… Dana being the attacker. Lara could do nothing about this….. Gina had the video evidence against her. What could she do without incriminating herself. The set up for the fall and blackmail, what a lovely combination. Dana spending time behind bars and Lara pining away for her. Revenge is so sweet.

I’ll probably get one more chapter in before I’m gone for the holidays. After that you won’t see another chapter til just after the New Year. I’ll try not to keep you hanging too long. A major cliffhanger is in the works after I get back. I hope I haven’t lost too many readers, the stories get buried fast…. please make sure you go back and check. Each chapter gives more information. Please leave comments… I really encourage this.
