Chapter 9 - The news

The next morning Kenny was worried and nervous. He got ready fast and went to work as soon as he was ready. There seemed to be an all right atmosphere at the police station. Maybe no-one knew about dead robber in the park yet. Kenny went up the stairs, along the corridor and into his office. Sandra was there again and she began:
- “Kenny, that’s awesome, you’re here early.”
- “Yeah, I got ready pretty fast.”
- “Have you heard the news?”
- “Which ones?”
- “There was an incident in the park…” Sandra began.
Kenny couldn’t hide it from her and so interrupted her:
- “I know, one dead robber.”
- “Actually two. How do you know they are robbers?”
- “Two? What do you mean?”
- “One was shot in the head and another one hung himself from a tree. They must’ve argued and so one shot another one and then took his own life.”
- “I didn’t know about the second one.”
- “How did you know about the first one then?”
Kenny sighed.
- “I was there yesterday.” He said.
- “What? What happened then?” Sandra couldn’t believe what she was hearing.
- “Someone told me one of them would be meeting us there and so…”
- “Wait wait wait. Who us?”
- “Err, sorry I meant just me. And there was that other one who shot him. I chased after him but he got away. I never knew he killed himself afterwards.”
- “Maybe it was a set up?” Sandra guessed.
- “Do you think someone else killed him?”
- “Anything is possible.”
Here Jake came in. He looked kind of tired.
- “What’s up guys?” he said.
- “There’s been a murder and a suicide in a Central Park last night.” Sandra said.
- “What?!” Jake was shocked to hear such news.
- “Yeah and Kenny says they’re robbers.”
- “They’re the same ones we chased after day before yesterday.” Kenny added.
- “What makes you so sure?” Jake asked.
- “I told Sandra already. I’ve been there last night.”
- “Woah, what happened?” Jake wondered.
- “I think we should speak to the chief about it.” Kenny said.
- “I agree.” Sandra said.
So three of them headed to the chief’s office. Sandra knocked and then came in. Karl was happy to see three of them.
- “Yes?” he asked.
- “Kenny?” Sandra told him, meaning ‘tell chief what you know’.
- “Sir, that incident in Central Park – I’ve been there yesterday when it happened.”
- “What?” Karl couldn’t believe it.
- “I saw it all happen.” Kenny replied, “except for the suicide.”
- “All right. In that case, you three head for the crime scene and Kenny you explain everyone what happened and where.”
Kenny got worried as he didn’t know how to explain it to them without mentioning Angelika. They’d think he is schizophrenic.
