At last, Detective Inspector Hampton had me to himself, well besides another lady detective sitting there, whose name escaped me.

Since they had relieved me of my clothes, I sat there in a white paper bag, which was the best way to describe it. But I was alive, cleaned up and fed hot tea, and asked if I wanted to call anyone. What I wanted was to go home, have a hot bath and sleep for a week. As tired as I was, I gazed at the handsome detective, thinking naughty thoughts. I know. I pick my moments. What is wrong with me?

They wanted to know every detail—a blow-by-blow account of the conversation between the hitman and myself. I was so tired by then, and it didn’t help I had to write everything down. They asked stupid questions; did he tell me his name? Did he say where he came from?

It didn’t occur to me to ask him for a CV. I’ll try to remember next time. I was brought up to respect the police, still tempted to write it. I made a point, however, of telling them Jenna’s husband had ordered the hit, which led to how I knew this. Embarrassing with DI Handsome looking at me. But I bit the bullet and told them in writing that I had walked into the wrong toilets and overheard it.

Realising they would not get much more from me, they had me driven back home. I walked through the door and into the living room in my white paper bag, where dad sat watching a nature program on the television.

‘A new look for you?’ he said with a glance at me before returning to the screen where a lion was chasing down an antelope. I turned away. I was squeamish over such things. I knew the lion had to eat, but I was always on the side of the prey.
