ALANNA'S POV

" Johnson you're going into interview " An officer spoke at they opened the hatch to my cell and lead me out of the cell .

I was lead into a room where D.I Bascombe and D.S Frank were sat on one side of a table with spare seats the opposite side for me , my appropriate adult and my solicitor .

" have a seat Alanna " Detective Bascombe said in a firm voice

I did as he told me to do and sat in the chair directly opposite him , maintaining eye contact the entire time .

" D.S Frank are you alright to start the recording please " D.I Bascombe says with a sickly smile of his face , like he was ready to catch me out .

" Remember what we talked about earlier Alanna" My solicitor James spoke up which I replied with a nod

" So Alanna I think we're all good to assume that you were close with Katie " He says waiting for me to say something .

" Yeah , i've already told you that " I say and I mean everyone in this town knew that me and Katie were close so there was no point lying .

" Okay and what about Jamie Miller " He says quickly moving onto the subject

" What about him " I say acting dumb like Jamie wasn't the whole reason why I was sat here in the first place .

" did you know him " He then asks

" well he was in my year " I say blankly

" close friends ? " he then questions

" wouldn't say so " I say , not really answering his question which I think infuriated him just a bit .

" were you with him the night that Katie was murdered " D.S Frank said , getting straight to the point .

I had a quick glance towards my solicitor in which he gave me a nod .

" no comment " I say, trying to keep a smirk from appearing onto my face .

" okay well do you have any feelings for him " she asked randomly

" no " I exclaim , a mix of disgust and confusion laced in my voice

" will did you " she then asked changing it into the past tense

" I never liked him " I say , my voice full of serious

" okay well Alanna we're going to show you a clip , alright " Detective Bascombe asked me

" okay " I reply dryly

He lifted up his laptop , the screen turning on to reveal the car park . The one in which Katie was murdered in . He pressed the space bar on the computer which started the clip on the computer , the CTTV . You see Katie run into the view of the camera , and start her interaction with Jamie . It shows everything. As it showed Jamie lunged towards Katie , a big sharp metal object in his hand . I tried to not show any of the emotions that were bubbling around in my stomach but it was very hard to do so . Because I knew why they were showing this clip and it wasn't just to show me what happened between Katie and Jamie . As far as they knew I already knew everything , they think I was watching on as Jamie stabbed Katie to death . But I wasn't and they've got it all wrong . However there wasn't anyway that I could change what they thought of me .

" what has this got to do with my client " my solicitor spoke up as the clip continued to play .

Detective Bascombe didn't say anything just put his hand up to signal that something was coming . He started to skip forward on the clip and then he paused it suddenly which confused me because I hadn't yet appeared on the screen . It was Jamie stood there staring at his hands .

" everyone play close attention to this next bit " detective Bascombe said as he pressed play on the space bar once again .

The clip began to play and then there I popped up in the screen , if you didn't know me well you probably wouldn't really be able to identify me . However my scar just below my right eye was clearly visible on the CTTV which meant that it was quite clearly me. Once the clip finished Detective Bascombe closed his computer screen and instantly making eye contact with me .

" So Alanna is this you " Detective Bascombe says getting straight to the point

" no comment " I reply for the second time

" are you sure Alanna " He then says , clearly trying to catch me under pressure .

" My client has answered your question now move on " My solicitor spoke up from behind me .

" Why were you with Jamie that night " he asks , basically rephrasing his previous question

" no comment " I say dryly

" was it yours and Jamie's plan to kill Katie " He then asked , jumping to the next conclusion

" no comment " I reply once again , still with no emotion

" well that isn't really helpful is it " Detective Bascombe said with a hint of sarcasm laced within his voice

" we'll it is my right isn't it " I say with a smirk on my face as I match his tone of voice .

" Okay we'll at 9.43pm I am terminating this interview " detective Bascombe says as he presses the button on the recorder stopping it .

" fucking finally " I say quickly , not really thinking of what I was saying .

I watch on as I receive a stern look from Detective Bascombe before I was escorted back to my cell for the rest of the night .
