100 words: I believe
I knocked before turning the knob. I could have forgone the courtesy but the occasion made me do it.
“It really wasn’t me!”
The man swung his body wildly to exaggerate the point to my colleague as I threw the file onto the old metal table.
“HEY! Don’t shout!”
“I didn’t kill anyone! Officer… Officer, do you believe me?”
I tilted my head a little and looked past him.
“Actually I have to say I do.”
My colleague gave me an exasperated look but I just shrugged.
Of course I believed him, after all, it was I who killed her.
