THE DETECTIVE
"We'd like you to come with us to the station immediately,"
Vanessa's heart began to beat faster, "I don't understand," she said, "What for?"
"Mrs Spencer, you're wanted as a prime suspect in the murder of your husband, Mr Christopher Wesley. You need to come with us to the station for questioning. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you do or say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you. I suggest you don't try to resist. Do you understand the rights I have just read to you?"
Vanessa's jaw dropped. Christopher was dead! It was impossible to believe. She'd just spoken to him that afternoon. It had to be a mistake.
She nodded, "I…. I…. I need to call my lawyer," she said, when she finally found her tongue,"
"Ma'am, you can do that at the station. Turn around, please,"
