Did she do it?

 

Sitting at the desk facing the one-way mirror, poised and emotionless, she continued to stare at the paper cup of water she gently cradled in her hands.   She was aware of the discussion and never ending stares from the other side of the mirror even though she couldn't see nor hear anything from where she sat.   She should have been scared or upset or tearful or something, but there was nothing.  Instead she sat patiently waiting not knowing what would come next, but full of hope.  

 

The calmness that she emulated was throwing the investigators onto so many different thought processes and pathways that she knew that they would never figure it out.   She would never tell and the only other person in this entire world that also knew had disappeared a few weeks ago and the fact that the existence of this person was unknown only further protected her.   Just the slightest hint of smile upturned the corners of her mouth as she thought about it, but not enough that those carefully observing her even noticed it happen.

 

There were no tracking possibilities at which they hadn't looked.  Phone records had been consistent over the one and a half years that they had pulled.   Friends, family and neighbors hadn't noticed anything different in her regular routine.  There hadn't been any work missed or social event unattended.   Everything pointed to her innocence.  It was looking inevitable that they would have to release her regardless that they were all positive about her involvement.

 

Focusing on keeping her facial expressions emotionless, she carefully began going over and over the moments that lead her to this place.   Her mind and energy had been completely preoccupied when things started out that she never stopped to imagine what the end results could wind up doing to her.  There was much to be said about little by little carries the strongest binding.   She saw it perfectly now that she was looking backwards, too late to do anything…..knowing she wouldn't change it even if she could. 

 

Suddenly the door swung open dragging her mind hesitantly back into her current circumstances.  She looked up knowing that these people had no answers and would be unable to release her…..she would have to continue to wait.
