    When the Shoe Fits “Come off it, Charlie. It’ll go a lot easier on you if you just tell us how it happened.” “I don’t know how it happened. I was asleep and when I woke up she was there; in the alley. Dead. I don’t know how she got there. I didn’t kill her. I don’t even know her.”  The exasperated detective slammed his fist down hard on the table. “O.K. let’s go over it again from the beginning.” “I told you a bunch of times. How many more times do I have to tell you?”  “Until you get your story straight.
