How I Learned To Love Drag Part 9

There were three cameras set up to record the action.

I walked in with Nick/Dave and Gus/Darryl. In the room were prosecutor John Correlli/Scott, Lt. Walker/Terry, and Captain Talcott/Mark.

As soon as I stepped into the interrogation room, Scott/Correli approached me briskly.

"I'm John Correli, Miss Tramell, assistant district attorney. I have to inform you this session is being taped. This is Captain Talcott."

"My pleasure," said Captain Talcott as we shook hands.

"And Lieutenant Walker," continued Correli.

"Hi," said Lt. Walker with a firm squeeze of the hand.

Captain Talcott asked, "Can we get you anything? A cup of coffee?"

"No thank you," I replied, hoping that I sounded like Sharon Stone.

Correli asked, "Are your attorneys going to join us?"

Nick Duggan stepped forward. "Ms. Tramell has waived her rights to an attorney."

Correli and Talcott looked at Nick knowingly.

I spotted the look. "Did I miss something?" I asked with an innocent smile.

"I told them that you wouldn't want an attorney present," said Nick.

"Why have you waived your right to an attorney?" asked Captain Talcott.

Looking at Nick, I asked, "Why did you think I wouldn't want one?"

Nick said, "I told them you wouldn't want to hide."

"I have nothing to hide." I stared at Nick for a moment. If they only knew the truth.

I walked forward to the solitary black armchair chair set up for me. I sat down, with my legs crossed, giving the detectives an in-your-face look at my shapely limbs. I smiled for the camera, hoping that I was showing the inner confidence of a beautiful woman.

The police detectives sat down at two separate tables. Gus and Nick sat at a table to my left. Correli, Captain Talcott and Lt. Walker sat at a table to my right.

I reached into my jacket pocket. I extracted a cigarette and lighter.
