My Perfect Weapon

Skylar walked into the school like she always did. She kept her head down as she made her way to her locker. But today there were three people standing there. She recognized one of them as the school principal. The other two she didn't know.

As she reached them, the principal spoke. "Skylar, this is Detective Jenkins and Detective Crane. They would like to speak with you."

She had no idea what two detectives could possibly want with her. She didn't protest as they led her down the hall to the office. When they got there, the principal left them alone.

"Ms. West would you mind coming with us?" Detective Jenkins said to her.
"But my classes." she protested.
"It's alright. We took care of that with your principal."
"Alright, if you're sure."

She didn't know why she had to go to the police station with them, but she didn't argue. When they arrived Skylar was taken into a small room and left to set there for thirty minutes before the detectives came back.

"Ms. West do you know why you're here?" Detective Crane asked her.
"No."
"Did you know Amber Laden?"

Amber. She hadn't thought about her in a long time. Not since Andy had killed her. She couldn't tell them that though. They would never believe her anyway.

"Yes, I knew Amber. We went to school together. She used to bully me a lot." She probably shouldn't have said that last part.
"Have you ever seen this before?" Detective Jenkins asked as he held up her journal.

Skylar was stunned. "That's my journal. I haven't seen it in over a week. I've been looking everywhere for it." she anwered.
"So, you lost it. Is that what you're saying?"
"Yes. Over a week ago. I couldn't find it anywhere."

The next few questions didn't make any sense to her, but she answered them anyway. "Ms. West have you ever found yourself somewhere without remembering how you got there?"
"No." she answered frowning.
"Have you ever heard voices others couldn't hear?"
What kind of question was that? "No, of course not."

His next words shocked her. "We found your journal at a crime scene, Ms. West. A murder scene. Do you know how it got there?"
"No, I don't." she answered. But her thoughts went to Andy.

"It seems there's a lot you don't know, Ms. West." Detective Crane commented. "Maybe we should hold you here until your memory returns."

They both got up and left her alone. She set there trying to figure out how she could possibly get out of this without mentioning Andy. They would only think she was crazy if she told them. And then there was the question of what would happen to him if, by some chance, they believed her.
