Chapter 41 - About the note

"You have the wrong person" Haley suddenly blurted out. She had wanted to do this gradually but the manner with which Klinsmann was laughing was too much for her hence she had to react that way.

She could see a look on the face of Klinsmann that suggested he was confused with her sudden outburst but was reluctant to react immediately.

"How do you know that for sure? Klinsmann asked looking a little nervous.

"Who ever adopted me is someone I think has a very close relationship with me. So it is either this man here is lying because I have never seen him or he is working for someone else. So which of them? " Haley asked banging her hand on the table so the suspect could look at her.

She could immediately read fear in his eyes. An indication for her that he was lying.

"What is your name? She asked looking at him with an intimidating look.

"My..... name... is Abdul " He stammared as he avoided her gaze.

"Don't you dare take your eyes off me" She shouted at him.

"What are you trying to achieve? Klinsmann asked trying to stop her from further interrogation.

"Let me remind you that this is my case and you don't have right to question him in that manner " Klinsmann said with a shaky voice.

"It may be your case but I am the victim in the case. If this man here is saying he was the one who kidnapped me. I will like him to give me the exact details of what happened " She asked lowering her voice a little so Klinsmann doesn't use that chance to chase her away.

Abdul looked a little confused. Haley watched as he stole a quick glance at Klinsmann. She immediately had a feeling that he might be working with him.

"Tell her the details " Klinsmann added his voice to her request.

Abdul narrated the story to her with a shaky voice from the point where he abducted her to the point where he left her at the near by company. Haley could already see loopholes in his story but she just pretended to play along for now. It was exactly the same story she told people when she came out so she could tell it was her own story.

"Why did you abduct me? I am sure I have never met you befor. What business do I have with you? She questions further

"I just needed money. I planned to abduct you and ask your father for money. That was my plan. Before I could come back you have already escaped " Abdul replied.

It sounded like a prepared answer but Haley pressed further.

"Then how did you know my best food that was prepared? She asked again.

"Oh I did some digging about you, that's how I knew" He replied trying to be calm.

Haley decided to pace around him to see how he would react. It was one of the methods she always used to see the body movement of her suspect.

"What is the problem? Klinsmann asked knowing what she was trying to do.

"He is lying. " She replied.

"How do you know that? Klinsmann asked. Instead of giving him an answer she asked Abdul another question

"What about the note that was dropped for me. Why did you write it? She knew if he was an imposter this was a question he would surely be unable to answer.
