It’s totally her fault. Completely and irrevocably. Without a shadow of a doubt. She’s to blame for all of this. Me? I am just an innocent bystander, drawn into events as the guilty party. But face it. It’s really her fault and no-ones else. Most certainly not mine. I am just taking the blame for this. Yes. Blamed by you, by others. Do you think I really would be so stupid to go and do this?

What? Yes, I did that. No, well yes. I did, but not like I meant to. She started it all and edged me on. What do I mean. Yes, I know I was caught red handed. Does nobody listen to me these days? I know what happened and I am telling you. This is totally her fault. Look, if you let me go, I will go get her and you will see. This is not my doing. It is hers. I am, well … I am in a bind you see. This is however totally and completely her fault.

You .. no .. wait. Let us not get hasty here. There is no need for that. Stop that. You know that hurts right? Come on, please, I beg you. Please just listen, I can explain this all. You can stand there all and look at me silently with those eyes but I do not crack that easily you know.

Pfft, who do you think that you are dealing with. Why? Seriously? You are asking me this? Oh for heavens sake. Can I get someone else to deal with this? No I am not going to be quiet and cooperate with this. If you can not even make the basic assumptions that are needed to require a degree of logic thinking then, just what is the use of this all. Yeah walk away. Sure whenever you are ready.

Oh back again? Right, and are you .. what? no no wait this is not needed. Looked anything but them. Please come back, no I will not admit to what you said but, but, can we not work something out here.

Look please, please just listen. You do not understand. Really, I know you want to, I know you need to, but as much as it pains me to say, you do not. You do not know what they are capable of. They are much more unreasonable then you are. Well, no, I do not mean you are unreasonable. I mean, they are scary, in a way you are not?

What? I can not win this. Seriously, lock me up. Throw away the key, forget the paperwork until after Christmas or Easter, Easter sounds pretty good does it not? What do you mean you can not do this? Your hands are tied? Listen you, I make the smart arsed comments and jokes around here, not you. You have your job, I have mine. I could do yours with one hand tied behind me back. Yes, that is pretty funny considering the situation I am in.Please, I beg you, from the bottom of my heart, please for the love of all that is holy, for the love of all the gods and goddesses under the skies, just keep them away from me.

Oh for crying out loud. I am not going to sign that. No. I am not. I keep telling you, it’s her fault. Mara’s. Not mine. I do not know where she is, is that not your job to figure out? You want me to tell you? Even though I just told you that I do not know? Yes, I know she is to blame? Why? Is that not blindingly simple? She asked me to do this, she was supposed to be with me, but she escaped.

Why? Seriously, are we playing this game? I know five year olds that have better lateral thinking then you. Okay, sorry, yes. That was not helpful, sorry. Because she wanted me to take the fall for this. Yes it is her fault. Do you not think? Why can you not see that I have not even got a record of any kind?

Outstanding parking tickets, go check it. Oh you did? See, none what so ever. Yes, not having a car did help with that. That is entirely beside the point. Yes, I know you got camera footage. She was supposed to turn that off. Did you not get any of her? Typical Mara. Leaving me to take the blame.

No, I told you before. I am not going to confess to something that is damming. While it is clearly not my fault. End of. You can not make me sign either. Wait, where are you going? Please stop, come back, anything, please I beg you, please god please, no do not leave, please do not leave please, stop.

Fuck fuck shit fuck bugger bollocking he.. ahem. Good afternoon Miss.

No Miss, it was not my fault. It was Mara’s. She started and orchestrated the whole…

Yes Miss. No Miss, Yes Miss.

This is unfair! I am getting bl .. Yes Miss, I am sorry Miss.

Yes Miss I will.

It was her fault.

You know? How, what? Sorry. Yes Miss. Yes, I will be quiet, unless when asked a question.

Yes, she did asked me for her help. Yes, we did go there together. No Miss, no, I lost sight of her. I do not know if she ever got into that with. Yes it was the last time I saw her. No, nobody else saw it or knew about it.

What happens now? With you? But.. please Miss, I ….
Yes Miss. of course. Yes Miss, I wait here until you get back and not speak

Oh why do I get myself into these situations. It is all her fault. I will get her for this. I swear once I am done with this and I am free, I will find her and then, oh you will see. It will not be pretty but I have a plan. A plan of my own, hah!

We can? We can go? I can go home? No? Where then? With you? I .. I guess I have not much of a choice Miss. No, I know I do not. I am painfully aware of that. Yes Miss.

Uhm Miss, before we go, do you think you could ask them if they could …? Oh, I guess not. You have the key, so why? Oh, oooh, I see. Yes Miss, as you wish.

No Miss, please not that, please. I will be quiet I promise, honestly there is no need for that, no, let go, let me go! Please! Pleashmmwgh stwwp
