In My Desperate Time

The police needs evidence for everything. I keep on talking. “She pressed me on the ground. I was not as strong as her. I felt like I was about to be strangled to death. In a hurry, I grabbed something and stabbed her in the back. I did that for self-defense. I didn’t know what I was grabbing. When I found out that Ms. Jordan was injured, I immediately called an ambulance. Whitney probably called you guys when I was distracted. And then you came."

After the explanation, the police officers start organizing the information. They look at Frances nervously, reckoning his thoughts.

"Okay, you may leave. Don’t bother us until there is evidence."

Frances waves to the police impatiently.

The two officers glance at each other, then they nod and left.

Lawrence stands at the door of the operating room, waiting anxiously.

I don't know what he is going to do, so I can only stare at him nervously.
