Innocence Lost

Click. Vrooooom.


The damn air condition clicked on again, much to Finn's annoyance. It was too cold in here, and yet they still had the air conditioner running. Perhaps it was a interrogation tactic used by the detectives here, and if so, it was a damn dirty one. Finn reached behind his head and pulled his hood up over his head and stuck his chilled hands in the pockets of his chinos, hoping to warm them.


He felt like he'd been in here all day, nearly, and he hated sitting in one spot for far too long. He glanced up at the oversized clock that hung above the large reflective window. He knew they were in there waiting for him to crack and confess to something he didn't do. That or they were waiting for his lawyer, since he told them he wasn't speaking until his lawyer was here. Mr. Jameson, that was his lawyer's name, or so he was told. He'd never met the man, and was just informed that he was the only one who'd take his case. Apparently whoever was killed was fairly important in the community and it was professional suicide to defend Finn. It was strange to him, he'd never even thought of killing anyone before and he didn't think he'd have the guts to murder someone in cold blood. It would be pointless to do so, especially if it meant forfeiting his freedom and his musician career.


"Damn, where is he?" He asked.


Finn wanted to go home, and was quite exhausted, especially since the police busted down his door at 6am this morning, pulled him from his bed and slammed him on the ground, forcefully putting him in handcuffs while reciting his rights. They said he'd murdered someone last night, which was impossible since he'd went to sleep early. Finn sighed and placed his head on the wooden table, closed his eyes and awaited the arrival of his lawyer.

Shay had gotten the call about her having to take a lawyers place for the case. She wasn't sure how she felt about that, but hell what could you do. Shay was never invested in helping murderers get out of jail, especially not now. Not this one.


Shay grabbed her keys and her files. The file for this case had been dropped off and she was ready to go as far as getting there. It didn't take too long to arrive and she walked through the front door, walking past everyone without a second glance. She walked right to the officers at the glass. "I'm here to talk to my client." That was all she said. Thanks to her brother for teaching her to be a good lawyer.


Then, walking away, she entered the room and shut the door behind her, looking at him. "I'll be your new lawyer as something happened to the one you were supposed to have." She said. She didn't go into details, but her eyes narrowed straight away. She sat down, holding the file in her hands. "Explain to me what happened." She said simply. "They can't listen so don't worry about being charged for telling me." No playing nice. She needed to get straight to it.

Finn watched the woman walk into the room, walk over the the table and sit down. She stared at him for a few moments before beginning to speak.


"I'll be your new lawyer as something happened to the one you were supposed to have." She said, "Explain to me what happened, they can't listen so don't worry about being charged for telling me."


Finn took a deep breath and leaned back against the plastic chair, trying to remember everything that had happened the night before and this morning.


"Alright." He began. "My band and I have been working on our newest album for the past few months, and it's just about finished. We finished recording all the vocals and instruments and now we're waiting for them to finish editing it and then it's off to the stores. But, anyway, I was feeling extremely tired last night, so after I had a beer or two, I went home and went to sleep. I was awakened at 7:15 AM by the police, placing me under arrest for the murder of Falah, which I hadn't seen in a few months. The detective that was with the police said they'd found my clothing, my DNA and a few studs from one of my belts." He said. "It's impossible, I've never killed anyone in my life, or even thought about it."

(Sorry something...happened)


Shay looked at him for a few moments, listening to this story. She started putting a few pieces together, but she didn't like what she was hearing. So it was even possible that someone could have drugged him and she ran a hand through her hair slightly. "Was someone with you when you were drinking beer? Anyone because it seems like you don't remember anything." She gritted her teeth. What had he done with Falan?


Shay ran a hand through her hair again. "What did you do with Falan? Were you both involved in any way? Anything that you are not telling me? Do you have your belt or did they take that into evidence?" She looked at him and ran another hair through her hair and she took a deep breath. ";I think you might have been drugged."
