Further Inquiries
And now a week after the funeral, the police were still trying to force answers out of Caleb Sortenn.
“ Okay, let’s start from the top,” Inspector Groff said calmly. “Where were you on Tuesday night? “
“ I told you already,”yelled the frustrated man, “I was at the pub, drinking with my girlfriend!!”
“Lisa said she was at a friend’s!! Either you’re lying or she is!!” yelled back Inspector Groff.
“Bring his girlfriend Lisa in,” he said pressing a button and talking into the speaker.
Two policemen walked through the door to the interrogation room, struggling to pull a frantic lady into the interrogation room. Her curly black was limp against her forehead.
“ I swear, I didn’t do anything wrong,” Lisa cried out, “ I’ll tell you the truth. I saw his plans one night and he said he would kill me if I told anyone! I’m innocent, I tell ya!”
“You devil! I’ll kill you!” yelled Caleb jumping out of the policemen’s hold and reaching towards Lisa. She screamed and backed away hurriedly. Four policemen held him down.
“Hmmm,” Inspector Groff said putting his hand on his chin, “go and get his sister. You’re free to go,” he said to the distressed lady, “but before you do, please tell these men all you know.”
The inspector waited until the sister came in. Then, as the door closed, he pulled out his pistol and put it to the girl’s head.
“NO! Don’t hurt her! She didn’t do anything!” Caleb said frantically.
“I won’t hurt her if you tell me the truth,” Inspector Groff said exasperatedly.
“Alright, I confess,” said Caleb, “ it all started on June the third...”

Thunder burst across the black sky. Rain poured down as if someone had tipped a big bucket of clouds over the town below. Along the deserted road an old black car crawled slowly, as if it didn’t want to be noticed. As it got near to an old rusty gate it revved up crashing through, making a humungous noise, breaking the gate of the ancient hinges. The car moved forward still, climbing over the fallen gates, making them jump and wriggle away. It continued up the dusty road to the lonely house on top of Broken Hill. The man inside the vehicle looked so angry that you’d have thought that he had made the weather turn evil. His brow was frowning, along with his cracked sun burnt lips. His eyes were crunched up tightly. His wrinkly hands gripped the steering wheel so tightly that you could see the whites of his knuckles. He parked the car a way off from the house and got out. His dark black eyes swiveled round to stare at the old brick house. He stumbled to the door, his feet crunching on the shingle, in his clammy hand a rusted old knife gleamed in the light of the moon that wasn’t hidden from the black clouds. He kicked open the weak wooden door and stormed into the dining room. At the table a man in his thirties was surrounded by millions of sheets of papers. He looked up and peered through his half-moon glasses.
“What’s the matter Caleb,” He questioned.
“Yeah what say we play a game of dead ants”, Caleb slurred, obviously drunk way over the limit, “And you’re the dead ant!”
“ What?!” The man exclaimed.
“ Don’t you get it John, I’m paying you back for stealing my girlfriend!!” Caleb screamed leaping towards John, brandishing the knife.
Outside the house a chilling, piercing scream was heard. But in town it went unnoticed.
“And that’s all, I swear,” Caleb explained hurriedly.
Inspector Groff’s mouth was set firm. He signaled for the two officers behind Caleb to take him away. The officer holding Caleb’s sister led her to the entrance and let her free. Caleb struggled as he was escorted out the room. Inspector Groff suddenly reached out and grabbed him by the shoulder.
“Don’t struggle. It’ll just make things worse!!” he sneered.
Caleb yelled out as he was pushed out the room out into the police car. He was later sentenced to 20 years in prison and 10 years community service.
