With your imagination?Keeping them nude saves on laundry too. Not sure what shackled to my bed accomplishes
Happy Valentines day for Barb
Don`t underestimate Frost,he loves to cock a snoop at authority, as I posted elsewhere, if he runs true to form, he`ll see through some of the "evidence"SHIT! Then I’m doomed
You really manage to create a strong mood with very economical tools.Night..night
Its the everything else that so many of us find appealing!Prison orange and everything else! Thanks settantuno. Lovely!
We should all be so lucky!You should be so lucky
The first of two posts today. Yes, I know. This breaks the rule of only one post a day. But these will each be short. And we all know that Barb rarely (never?) follows the rules.
Homicide Consulting Room, Central Police Station, 8:45 PM
Jeffrey Hodges continued to stare open-mouthed at the screen as Barb was placed under arrest and escorted from the room. A few moments later, the screen went blank.
Detective Inspector Frost spoke gently to the American attorney, almost with pity, “You can see, counselor, why we have arrested her and charged her with murder. I would point out that our investigation is still ongoing. If I uncover any exculpatory evidence, I assure you, I shall share it with you immediately. Copies of the videos and other evidence gathered will be given to you as soon as possible.”
Jeffrey was almost speechless. He mumbled some thanks and then asked when he could see his client. Koh told him not to worry. He had taken Barb personally to Booking and then to Intake in the secure wing of the jail for the night. Frost added that he had instructed extra care in handling Barb and that she be placed under safety watch.
Jeffrey stammered thanks, his mind reeling, dread enveloping him.
“We can arrange an interview for ten AM in the morning,” offered Deputy Leng. “You understand, Mr. Hodges, the restrictions on attorney client confidentiality in Singapore?”
“Yes. I mean no. What do you mean?” his confusion obvious.
“In cases charging culpable homicide, after arrest, a court appointed monitor must be present when the suspect holds any communication either with counsel or the authorities. The monitor acts in strict confidentiality, sharing information only with the judge and then only to report violations.”
“What kind of violations,” asked Jeffrey, distracted and unfamiliar with the special rules around homicide procedures.
“Such as coaching of testimony, subornation of perjury, improper pressure for plea deals and corrupt offers. Nothing you should be concerned with.” Said Leng.
“When? When will there be a hearing?”
“It is required within 48 hours of arrest. I anticipate we shall wait a day to assemble the forensic and autopsy evidence and then appear before a judge on the morning after tomorrow.”
“Thank you,” said Jeffrey shaking the hands of Frost, Koh and Leng. “I’ll be here by ten tomorrow.” He gathered his papers and dejectedly exited the room.
The other glanced at each other and Koh spoke for all, “I don’t envy him his job.”
Harry Houdini might be a better bet.Calling Perry Mason and Rumpole of the Bailey! Help!
Eventually, she tried to snap out of her funk. Getting up and paced the tiny cell, she thought wistfully of the pleasant, cells in the women’s wing with the cheerful décor. Oh God, she thought, I’m nostalgic for a jail cell!
Not to mention that pristine punishment room !!Nostalgic for a jail cell? Just shows how low I’ve sunk. Sigh ...
Frost seems to be somewhat on your side, Barb. He will discover the truth.Why do I have this circling around a gurgling voracious drain feeling?
