Roxanne was Finally Discovered

It was almost beautiful, seducing the way the antique dress swished in the cold sodden water. The deceased body of Roxanne Booth had been found. Discovered. Ironic for Jargon of acting to be used. Just the way the killer had hoped. The officer knew of Roxanne’s dream of being an actress and you could see the killer had known too.

She was beautifully made up with thick lipstick and eye make-up, her hair was neatly styled into the era that the dress was made from. Ophelia. The way she’d drowned. A famous Shakespearian play taken for serious and a plot to have themselves found.

“It’s someone who knows her.” He whispered as he waded out of the water, his hands shaking as she bit his lip, biting back the urge to throw up.
“Two of her friend’s study drama. They’ll know the play. Hopefully.”

Carrie and Hayley sat in the head’s office, their hands fidgetting as they tried to think of what they could have done. “Hayls…”
“Shut up…” Hayley snapped angrily as she raked her hand through her ginger hair.

Everyone had noticed a change in the girl’s characteristics. Her clothes had started to bag, her eyes had lsot their glint and her hair appeared to be nearly dead. Hinting that she hadn’t been looking after herself. She had started to get more angrier with her friends and had started to ignore their calls, messages and anything else they managed to send to her. She lived for Harrison. It’s all she wanted to do now.

“Please, talk to me.” Carrie pleaded looking at her. Hayley whipped round to look at her and Carrie nearly jumped back in fear, scared of the murdering look in her eyes.
“What? What do you want me to tell you, Carrie?”
“Anything! Everything!”
“Well, there isn’t anything to tell so leave me alone!” She spat standing up and moving to walk to the window, not moving until the door opened.

“Girls, we need to know about this picture.” Carrie shrugged her shoulders. Hayley moved from the window and took hold of it all.
“The scene where Ophelia drowns herself in Hamlet. She wears the dress because she wants to believe that even though she commited suicide it was still beautiful.”
“Ophelia commited sucide?”
“Yeah. She drowned herself. She more likely died from hyperthermia though.” Hayley commented handing the picture back before turning back to the window.
“How do you know this?”
“I studied her for my devised piece in drama.”

That’s all the officers needed to know.
