It was not going to be easy she knew, but somehow she had to confront him. She took a deep breath and walked into the room. Sophia mustered up all her courage and looked the murderer straight in the eye. Her stare piercing his back like a dagger. She screamed,” How could you kill him! What had he done to you!” Griffon turned around slowly, looked her straight in the eye and replied in a cold voice that he had no idea what she was talking about . He turned his back on her and continued sharpening a dagger. She shot him a look of loathe and left the room without saying a word.
Sophia did not have a shred of evidence to prove that Griffon had murdered her husband, but she knew that it was not safe to continue questioning him. He had the unstable mindset of a murderer, after all . She had to gather some conclusive evidence, which the court would believe . It was not enough to say that it was a professional jealousy, so Sophia set out to find her clever friend, Rose .Rose was a private investigator, very intelligent and very capable of solving the crime. She readily accepted the job when Sophia told her.
Griffin had lots of friends in high positions. Hiding the evidence would be easy with access to all those resources. After all, the body was never found. Rose and Sophia snooped around and found out that Griffin’s closest friend was Hector, the crime boss of New Wayne. Visiting his house was too dangerous but they came to know that Hector’s right-hand man, Emilio, often takes a solitary stroll in the park around nine, when it is dark. Sophia suggested that they go there and tie him up to interrogate him, but Rose was hesitant. Sophia thought that this was because she was scared so she assured her that they would keep someone posted about their whereabouts.
At half past eight, Sophia and Rose went to the park and hid behind the trees with the cover of nightfall on their side. Sophia had remembered to let her brother Jason know where they were going and she had told him that if they were not back in two hours, something had gone wrong . When the clock struck nine, they saw Emilio, a short man in a coat with a French cocked hat, walking around the park. Sophia and Rose looked at each other and exchanged nervous glances . On the count of three they jumped out from behind the trees and tied Emilio up, despite his struggle. Sophia was just about to start interrogating him and looked back to see where Rose was but the moment she turned around Rose hit her on the head with a stick and tied her up. When Sophia woke up, she was terrified. Rose had betrayed her and she was tied up with no escape! She saw Rose and Emilio in front of her with an evil gleam in their eyes. Sophia screamed ,”Traitor! How could you!” at the top of her lungs but the words had no effect on Rose. Instead Rose quickly stuffed a cloth down her mouth and gagged her, so she did not attract unnecessary attention towards them .
Sophia was scared and exhausted. She was just about to give up all hope of rescue when she heard sirens . She looked around and saw Jason, along with the police running her way . Emilio and Rose instantly darted but were caught nevertheless . The police arrested them while Jason tended to Sophia. Hector had paid his people to throw the body down the Mississippi river and destroy the CCTV footage . Rose had been paid by him to lead Sophia on a wild goose chase but when Sophia had the idea of interrogating Emilio, she was forced to tie her up too. Hector and his people were taken to jail and Rose was tried in court . She was sentenced to ten years in jail. There was a prayer meeting held for Sophia’s husband and she and Jason received a medal for their bravery . They were really beatific that justice was served!
