but they have me on suicide watch. I can't cope in here, and the same thing will happen to you. So, why don't we just talk to each other about our problems, and we might get somewhere - who knows?"
What Libby said frightened Tammy - was this the end for her? Was she going to suffer non-stop?
"You got what you deserved", Tammy argued, "and you might then truly realize that what you did was wrong!"
Tammy then got up and returned to her cell, more determined than ever to get out of the place.
Chapter 10
Coarse paid a visit to Tammy the following day. In the visiting room, a few of the women glared at her. She tried to ignore it, but it was no use. Coarse entered the room, and he told her about his news.
"It's early days, yet, Tammy", he said to her, trying to comfort her.
Tammy felt let down.
"But I want to get out of here now!" she cried helplessly, impatiently.
"I will get to the bottom of this!" he cried, determined to solve the murder before the end. "But there is one thing that you can do to help me - can you go through the entire night with me, remembering every single last detail?"
Tammy explained everything that she could remember about that night. Every detail was mentioned, including what had happened after the murder. It had gone through her mind several times before, so she did a good job of remembering everything.
After that, it was time to go. Coarse left the building, thinking through what Tammy had said. Just then, an idea came into his head - was this the moment of truth? Had he figured out the killer? It was doubtful, but perhaps one thing, one tiny thing, could solve the case.
Firstly, he needed to visit the police station. He quickly visited a few police officers downstairs to talk to them about a specific thing that they had witnessed on the night of the murder - it was minor, but important. Coarse then had a quick discussion with the rest of the team. He talked to Miranda first.
"Do you really think she did it?" asked Coarse.
"I think it's certainly possible", replied Miranda, grinning slightly. "Anyway, I did not really like Tammy that much, anyway, so I hope she gets sent down for life if she gets found guilty".
"And what about you...Pam?" he asked.
"I don't know", Pam replied, "I don't know what to think".
Coarse then went on to ask them one thing.
"Later, I would like to ask you to gather round, while I explain something to you. I just want to hear your thoughts".
"Why not now?" asked Pam.
"Later", Coarse replied, rather firmly.
He rushed out, thanking the police officers who had helped him identify something.
His final journey was to a woman's house. Coarse knew this woman from before, and he asked her if he could go into her bathroom, explaining everything. He then went into her bathroom, and found what he was looking for - he had solved the murder.
Chapter 11
He rushed back to the police station to deliver the important news, carrying the evidence with him. He now knew without a doubt who the killer was, and he had evidence of that. He was ready to explain how and why the murderer did what they did.
"Ladies and gentlemen", begun Coarse.
Miranda was quick to interrupt. "Here we go, another one of Tammy's master revelations!" she said, jokingly.
"Please, hush!" he said seriously. "I am here to announce who the real killer of Barry Scott is. I missed it, and surprisingly, so did Tammy. I bet the thought had not crossed her mind, for once. Anyway, I am not going to make things tense. The murderer is in this very room. Isn't that right, Miranda?"
Everyone looked at Miranda.
"You must be mad!" she cried.
"No, I am not mad. In fact, you are the one who is mad, isn't that right?"
"Hang on a minute!" cried the boss.
"Allow me to explain everything", said Coarse. "Let's think back to the night of the murder, shall we? On the night of the murder, Miranda had asked Angela what perfume she was wearing. Angela replied with the name of her perfume. I have
