Chapter 3
Arrest the killer...

Bruno Filipovich: Vanessa Cullen, you are under arrest for the murder of Alexandre Simandl.

Vanessa Cullen: Officers listen, maybe Simandl was a pain in the ass, but I wouldn't kill him.

Bruno: Then explain why we found your nicotine gum in his hair ?

Vanessa: Almost everyone person over here chews these. I'm not the only one who is trying to quit smoking. It's unhealthy you see...

Bruno: Maybe you are not the only one who chews that gum, but are you the only one with a collie ? Your dog's hair was all over the flamethrower you used to burn Alexandre.

Vanessa: What ill thoughts do you have detective ? I lost my home, I'm already in big trouble, prison wouldn't help me neither. I literally have no reason to kill him.

Bruno: Ms Cullen let's just make this short and quick. It's useless to lie. Threads from your shirt where left on Alexandre's helmet. Time to confess.

Vanessa (sad): Seems like you win. Yes, I did killed Alexandre.

Vanessa (angry): But he deserved it! He betrayed me !

Bruno: He betrayed you ? But how ? I thought he loved you ?

Vanessa: He did. That's why I asked him to protect my supplies and my hideout. After my house burned down, I was left with only few sandwiches and water bottles...

Vanessa: Alexandre accepted the offer and I went to the town to get more food.

Vanessa: Sadly, I returned empty-handed. There was nothing left in the town...

Vanessa (disgusted): When I returned, I saw Alexandre sleeping in my hideout. My supplies were NOWHERE to be found, they were stolen. I can't believe he fell asleep just like that.

Vanessa (mad): I was starving just because he was unable to do one single thing right. I got so angry, I grabbed his flamethrower and roasted the shit out of him.

Bruno: Ms Cullen, I know that these are rough times for you since your whole hometown is burning down, but murder is murder. We have no other choice than to place you under arrestl

At the courtroom...

Judge Pierre: Vanessa Cullen, you stand accused for the murder of soldier Alexandre Simandl, how do you plead ?

Vanessa (angry): Guilty your honor. But Alexandre deserved it, he was the reason why all of my food and water has been stolen. I was going to starve.

Judge: Mr Simandl was a little bit clumsy, but that is surely not a reason to kill him ?

Vanessa: A LITTLE BIT ? He was unable to keep few supplies with him for 20 minutes...

Judge: Ms Cullen, you clearly have no remorse for the murder. I hereby sentence you to 25 years in prison. Court dismissed

Vanessa: At least I'll eat something though. I accept my sentence.
