Sins of Red #8: Feeling Like a Suspect
Jack let the experience be all about me and I never even got to touch him
Recap: After being abducted & released by her 1st boyfriend Clive, Rose ‘Red’ Redman had to reveal the identity & background of the notorious noirette serial killer — at large for a few years. Red returned home & chatted to her sister about the strange times with Clive when they were a coople seven years before. Then headed off for her interview with the police. They question Red about her old boss — Jack.
“So you are stating yer never had sexual relations with Mr Jack Barker?” The Inspector inquired…
Feeling Like a Suspect
At this point, I realised I couldn’t go back on what I’d just said. It would have sounded suspicious. I’m sure Jack wouldn’t want his wife to find out. It was all such a long time ago. Plus, it happened the day after Clive hit me. He had a shift at the library, so I’d called Jack. My eye was beginning to bruise, and I thought it best if I didn’t work that night.
When Jack heard, he was fuming with Clive and came straight over.
I started crying.
He started kissing my tears away.
The next thing I knew, his tongue was buried inside me. And I can tell you I roared as loud as I could when I climaxed. I felt liberated. Having to always keep so quiet during sex, with Clive.
That day, Jack gave… and even though I could see his cock straining against his trousers, he kept it under wraps and let the experience be all about me. I never even got to touch him. It seemed like it was a spur-of-the-moment thing and beyond my control…
Both police officers were poised, staring, waiting for me to answer the Inspector’s question…
There was nothing for it. To avoid their gaze, I looked down at my hands and said, “No. Jack was married, with a couple of kids. He was my boss, we worked together and were just good friends.”
I felt my face turning the same colour as my hair. But what happened with Jack wasn’t a reciprocal thing. I mean, I won’t lie… I wanted to touch him. However, he made it clear that was not on the cards. Which means the act can’t be classed as sexual relations. Can it? I breathed in deeply, trying to steady my nerves.
“What about your sex life with Mr Burke? Was there ever anything…em… out of the ordinary?” Wilkins managed to probe without coughing. I was relieved to be getting away from the subject of Jack.
“Well…now I’m a bit older I realise it wasn’t great. He had some… some odd ways. Although we did erm… experiment a little.”
I mentioned a few of the things I had told my sister about, such as Clive’s obsession with cleanliness. Suddenly, my mouth felt very dry. I was feeling hot too.
“Are you also attracted to women, Miss Redmond?”
“Pardon?” I gulped, blushing once more.
“It seems a little odd that a fit, young lady such as yourself was not having sex much at home or outside your relationship.”
Giovanni seemed to enjoy focusing on the lack of my sex life, and without waiting for a reply, the barrage continued.
“And the recent abduction? You’re the only one who has been set free. A bit strange, innit? Four women dead, and yet you escape without so much as a mark on yer. Out of character, I’d say. What do you think, Miss Redmond? Why did Mr Burke let you go?”
I could feel the sweat building up on my forehead and the back of my neck, when Wilkins interrupted him.
“Em, are you OK Miss? You look rather strange. Let me get you a drink of water.”
The DI glanced at the clock and spoke into the tape player. “The interview with Miss Rose Redmond was paused for a break at 11.15 a.m.”
Looking at the recording device, the severity of the whole situation suddenly hit me. Inspector Giovanni was making me feel like a suspect — not a witness.
Before Wilkins had time to pass me the glass, I involuntarily vomited all over the interview room floor.
