Petty or Pretty

                                    

                                          
   "Are the rumors true? Did you do it?"
   "Do what? I don't even know why I'm here! You guys barged into my house in the middle of the night and arrested me! You had no warrant to enter my house and didn't read me my rights either! Who the hell do you think you are?!"
   "Ma'am, we did indeed read your rights and we didn't barge into your house, we found you on the streets remember?"
   "No! I would never be on the streets at that time of night! I have morals! I am a classy lady! Look at these rings! These are diamonds sir! How dare you accuse me of being a lady of the night! I am insulted!"
   "Ma'am please come down. We been trying to find you for days now. You know why you are here and those rings play a big part in our investigation."
   "Oh! You like my rings! I've earned every single one of them. This one here is my wedding ring! I'm married you know! My husband's a very rich man! Spoils the ever living hell outta me! My baby knows how to spoil a girl!"
   "Ma'am, do you know where your husband is? The rumors are, you killed him. Other sources say you were never married!"
   "You guys spoke to Bethany haven't you! That lady is crazy! She's been trying to sabotage me and Nate for years now! She's insane you know! She says the most awful things about me. But Nate loves me. He's never believe her."
   "Are you on anything? You seem a bit on edge ma'am"
  "That's where she had me ya know. On the edge of that cliff! She would have killed me! She told me I was petty and a stalker! I think she was jealous that I'm prettier than her! Maybe she meant to say I was pretty! That makes more sense! But it's too late now. I'll never know what she meant."
   "Ma'am, can you tell us what happened to Bethany and Nate? What did you do to them?"
   "I was only defending myself against Bethany! That wasn't my fault! I don't see why I'm in trouble here! I was protecting Nate and me! You believe me don't ya? I'm a good girl officer! And Nate loves me! I know he does.. I know he did! I wish he would have stopped trying to hurt me though. He kept saying such mean things."
   "What did he say ma'am? Where was the last place you were with him?"
   "I bought him to the first place we met. I brought him back home with me! He wasn't happy though. I think maybe I was wrong. Maybe Bethany got to his head. He's not in the right mindset officer. I think he needs to see a doctor."
   "We can get him a doctor, just tell us where he is! Is he still alive?"
   "To be honest officer, I'm not sure. Maybe you should check those streets."
