A policeman settled opposite her, examining the surveillance footage from that day before posing a careful question. What was your reason for visiting the CEOs office? Were you aware that he was absent from the company at that time?
I was aware. I visited his office with his permission to nap in his lounge.
Sabrinas phone lay aside. The policeman scrutinized the messages from that day, scrolling back a few pages before querying, What is your relationship?
We are married.
The officer regarded Sabrina before exiting the room, leaving her alone.
Though she could validate her visit to Tyrones office with his consent, the fact remained that she was the only one in the office. Her innocence would be difficult to establish until the real culprit was found.
However, without any evidence to incriminate her, the police were obligated to release her within a twenty-four-hour period.
Yet those hours were not easily endured.
The interrogation room was sparsely furnished, containing only a table and a few chairs.
Sabrina reclined in a chair, her elbow on the armrest, her head cradled in her hand.
She wasnt sure how long she held this posture. She rose, moved around for a bit before settling down again.
The room fell into a silence so profound that it felt eerie and unsettling.
At noon, a person entered the room carrying fast food and a bottle of water for Sabrina.
She had no appetite, but for her babys sake, she forced herself to eat some.

Sleep eluded her in this unfamiliar environment, leaving her in a semi-conscious state.
She opened her eyes, and it was still noon.
Time seemed to crawl.
The rooms lights and surveillance cameras were operational twenty-four hours a day.
Although darkness had descended outside, the room remained brightly lit.
She sat in the chair, knees drawn up, chin resting on her knees, lost in thought.
Come morning, they would have to release her.
As early morning dawned, Sabrinas exhaustion took over, and she fell asleep, her head resting on her knees.
She was only half-aware of the door opening.
