Chapter 34

Wow, what a good . . . no, great . . . actor I am. I'm sure I had them all convinced that I'm the innocent one. I raised my voice at just the right time. And, oh, the fight. I planned that well. And the club switching, that was another great idea of mine. It worked out perfectly. Another smart plan that says I'm a genius. And the switch at just the right moment . . . wow! The gods must be with me! I'm so clever, it astonishes even me!

If I was in Las Vegas I'd bet heavy on myself as the innocent one, and come out very rich. Now, if I can just stay calm and not get over-excited, I'll soon have my freedom.

The only problem is, they now have the murder weapon. But I was so careful. I must have washed and scrubbed it a hundred times to make sure my fingerprints and Barsha's blood aren't on it. But now, because of my cleverness, both of our prints are on it. His and mine. No one will ever catch me.

Those two snoopers searching my room was something I hadn't planned on, but it turned out to be my lucky break. It just made me look more innocent. Not only am I a great actor, I'm also an extremely clever one.
