I don’t know what to think. My head feels groggy, like I’m on the verge of waking from a bad dream despite knowing this is no dream. This is real. Has he really put her body in my apartment and made-up evidence to ensure all fingers point to me? Is there any truth in what he is saying? If there is - can I talk my way out of it? Can I convince them that this man is the one who did it? I have the phone call logged on the phone. I have her number calling me which suggests she was alive, or that we just spoke. Worst case - it shows that someone used her phone to call me. Will that help prove my point that it wasn’t me? Were there really sirens heading to where he was? If there was - I don’t have much time before they come here and - when they do… What am I going to say? I need the footage to prove he killed her…

I begin frantically navigating my way through the system again but all files - or rather all recordings - are gone. The only proof that I have of him being here was the fact he was seen by the staff-members but they saw no aggression. They just saw him talking to my ex-wife. They just overheard how they were on a date - something which would only give me reason to kill her. And as for when she died, it happened last night so if they investigate the time of death - it would look as though she died when I was off work. Can… Can they tell that the body was moved there? Has he done something to make it look as though it weren’t? Do I use this waiting time to phone my solicitor and ask for advice but, if I do, what do say? I caught the whole murder on a camera and no longer have the footage? Whatever I say - it’s all so far-fetched that people will struggle to believe me. Why would they take a leap of faith into what I say when there is mounting evidence suggesting otherwise. And of course they’d want a clean way to wrap things up. They’d want it wrapped up and the criminal behind bars.

A thought:

He said this is his first. He hinted that there will be more and even gave me a clue as to where it would happen: A Shitty run-down hotel. He gave me his name as Art. Will he use the name again? If he does, I can give all the information to the police now and when he does make his move, they’ll know it wasn’t me all this time. But then - what if it is years before he makes his move? Will I have years in prison before anyone even thinks to listen to what I had originally told them?

That uncomfortable sickness is swirling in my stomach again, not helped by the stink of the stale vomit assaulting my nostrils.
