<div style="text-align: justify;">That moment of silence was agonizing for Emily as well. Not because she didn't know who was on the other side, or whether or not the call was for real. For her, it was a matter of whether or not she would be able to speak in a convincing way. Would she be able to convince the detective of her sincerity? Could she pull that off? Should she say anything at all? <br/><br/>Deciding it was too late to turn back now, Emily had decided to just speak and let the Private Investigator take his own conclusions on her words. If he cussed her out, thinking it was a prank call, she would apologize and hang up. If he believed her, she would keep on going with her story and try to convince him to help.<br/><br/>"It is, God help me", Emily replied on her side when the detective said death was a difficult thing. Of all the things she could say, one was absolutely true: she had not planned to kill anyone. Sure, she had taken the gun, and it was loaded, but it was only to make sure she could defend herself.<br/><br/>"I... I haven't talked to the police yet. I should, shouldn't I?". The girl's voice was breaking. It was clear she was terribly distressed. "It just happened, I haven't had the time to really think. How should I do it? Do I call them, do I go somewhere? I have never reported a crime".<br/><br/>Judging by the sound on the other sound of the line, Dean could hear the young woman falling on a chair or a couch. "I... I really don't know what to do, I'm so scared...", the woman sobbed again. "Please, help me, I am completely lost, please, I beg you".<br/><br/>Emily knew her pleads were pathetic, but she couldn't really help herself at the moment. And, a little wicked part of herself thought, her pathetic crying and begging would probably work to her advantage.<br/><br/>Calming down a little, the young woman spoke again, her voice still trembling. "I... what should I do? Report the... the crime and call you back? I don't trust myself to leave the house right now, I just... I really don't feel well".</div>
