“Zoey asked me to keep an eye on Alexia, while she visited Daphne in the hospital. Shannen, her babysit, said she would come later and then I could go to the hospital too. When Shannen arrived here it was raining and she was soaked. She asked me if she could take a shower first and I let her. Twenty minutes later she came downstairs in the kitchen and her leg was bleeding. I healed her and she wanted to give me some money, but I refused. Then she kissed me and tried to seduce me” Cas said.
Isabel’s colleague was writing everything down.
“And did she succeed?” Isabel asked with raised eyebrows.
“At first I stopped her. I didn’t want to cheat on Daphne, especially not in front of Alexia” Cas continued.
“At first?” Isabel repeated.
“Shannen really wanted to…to…have…sex with me” Cas said, turning red. “And I really wanted to. She looked really pretty and she smelled very nice and…she could do things that excited me. So, I took her to our bedroom. I mean, Daphne’s and mine. And we kissed and we were about to do it, but then Alexia stopped us”
Isabel nodded. That has to be the biggest disappointment in his life, she thought. “What happened after that?”
“Shannen took Alexia downstairs, while I put my body in normal shape again” Cas said. “Then I went downstairs and I saw Shannen, Alexia and Andy sitting. Andy is Daphne’s cousin, but I didn’t know until then he’s also Shannen’s boyfriend”
“How was Andy?” Isabel asked.
“He was polite” Cas said. “Not really nice, but I’m used to that”
“Well, thank you for your cooperation” Isabel asked.
“Can I go now?” Cas asked hopeful.
“Not yet. We still need to check a few things” Isabel said. She looked at her colleague, who got up and left the hearing room.
“You don’t think I killed her?” Cas asked a little scared.
“It doesn’t matter what I think, Mr. Allen” Isabel said. “But you have to understand it’s strange Shannen’s body was found in an alley in the street you live in on the night where she almost had sex with you”
“I really didn’t kill her” Cas said desperate.
“We’ll see” Isabel said sober.

She bent on her knees and her hands glided over the earth. She didn’t know what she was going to find, but a strong feeling inside of her told her there was something underneath the earth. Something she needed to find.
And so she started digging with her hands. Soon her hands were wounded and dirty, but she just kept digging.
She carried on for what seemed like hours, her hands bleeding, until her fingers touched something solid. She dug faster and more fiercely, until she saw the object. When she saw Damon’s body she couldn’t breathe anymore. She covered her mouth and tears rolled over her face. She was too late.
She pulled him out of the pit and held him in her arms.
