IT’S NOT A MATCH
A formal woman dressed in a coat suit motioned Chloe to step inside. She wearing specs and looked like not slept for many days. She’s with a notebook and pen. Chloe worried more about seeing Becca’s mother, who is watching her like she’s some kind of serial killer. There’s another man standing holding an object that looks like an iPad. But it’s quite different from it. Its length is enormous and a wide-breadth.
“Keep your hands on it.” the woman ordered. Chloe slowly kept her hoping nothing bad happens even though she’s not the one who killed Becca.
“Now take a seat.” Chloe felt more uncomfortable near Becca’s mother. Her look is so fierce. There are more wrinkles on her face and looked sleepless, just like the investigated woman. Chloe felt guilty about seeing her. But Becca’s mother won’t even know Chloe. Maybe she’s just looking furiously at everyone.
“So, where have you been from seven to nine on homecoming day, Chloe?” the woman asked, seeing the name from a book. She didn’t even tell her name. The woman wanted to finish this and reach her home to sleep. This job made her sleepless.
“Tell something. Why are you keeping your damn mouth shut?” Becca's mom yelled all of a sudden.
“Hey, stop targeting everyone or I will kick you out of this room. We are here to ask questions. Your interruption is driving me crazy.” the woman shouted, literally dropping her notebook down.
“Fine. but Iam her...”
“You are her mother. I know. So what? You can’t keep scolding every student in this school without a reason. These students are probably innocent, but I need to question them. The killer can be anyone. It may be a person who doesn’t even go to this school. Now shut your mouth, can you?” she made herself crystal clear. Becca’s mom walked herself out of the class madly. She can’t pressure anyone like this or she will be insulted like this.
“Now you can start talking.” the woman said, taking a deep breath. The room feels more stress free after she left.
“I was at the party with my friends.”
“Who are they?”
“Ian and Taylor from 12th grade and some of their friends.”
“So, you stayed there till the end?”
“Of course. I don’t like parties at all. I stayed the whole time having a little chat and eating cupcakes. That’s it.” Chloe simply told them things which she never did.
“It’s getting late. Tell the next student to come. Probably no one had done nothing in Roshord high.” the man next to her told in frustration.
“What about the handprint?” the woman turned towards him, who is keenly watching in an object which looks like an iPad and a computer near him.
“Not a match.” He said checking her and Chloe felt more relieved. She walked out, gladly to see Becca’s mom. She is glaring at everyone who’s entering and going out of the room.
“Hey, you did it. It’s pretty easy.” Ian smiled at her, calling her into a hug.
“Why are you hugging me? It’s just an investigation, right.” Chloe asked while laying her head on his chest.
“I don’t know. Just appreciated you. You seemed so upset.”
“Now Iam not.” She let go of his arms, and she is perfectly calm now. Then she got sight of his brother leaning on his locker.
“I will talk to you later. I need to see my brother.” She said impatiently and approached Caleb.
“I did it well,” she whispered.
“Iam so glad you did. It was pretty easy for me too,” he explained, grabbing by her arm.
“Where are we going?” Chloe asked, following him down the stairs.
“We need to see Caroline. I heard they are going to check the fingerprints of everyone in the school. Not only students.” he anxiously told taking her to the cafe.
“But they said only students...” Chloe trailed off, thinking about Charlotte. If her handprints are examined, she will be surely get caught. The vision of getting caught all together by the police entered her mind. ‘I can’t think like that. I don’t want that situation. I don’t want to be a pessimist,’ Chloe told herself.
“Here we are. Take a seat.” Caleb sat opposite Chloe and waited for a waiter. He hoped it would be Caroline or her friends. So, you could call her and talk about this.
“So, what questions they asked you. For me, they asked fewer questions and sent me. I think they desperately wanted to go home.” Chloe began once they are settled. They are lesser students around them eating their lunch. Chloe can’t believe she crossed half of the day successfully. Now all she can pray for is for Charlotte to escape from this problem.
“They asked me too many questions. I even got frustrated by it. Questions like What I did every moment. I think the woman would even have asked me what I did in the restroom.” Chloe laughed a little about how her brother managed it.
“Okay. Then how you told?”
“You know what? I figured everything out in these three days. Everyone knows Iam Ruby’s girlfriend. I created a sympathy for them.”
“You don’t need to create sympathy? You should have told you have been with Elliot or Bianca.” Chloe told and a waiter stood in front of them.
“Can you call Caroline?” Caleb asked him and the waiter nodded and left the table.
“I can’t do that. Bianca already said I left for more than an hour.”
“Why did she do that?” Chloe asked madly.
“She needs to tell everything that happened that day. It’s not her fault. I told them I got sick of being in homecoming without Ruby. Seriously, Iam still morning over Ruby’s death and I told that.”
Chloe lost in thoughts while Caroline walked towards them, grabbing a chair.
“Guys, we need to help Charlotte. They already took my handprint. They are checking everyone,” Caroline explained breathlessly.
WILL THEY ESCAPE? “Take a seat and explain it clearly. Did they get your fingerprint?” Caleb asked her while she took and folded her apron. “They already took my handprint. It’s not a match, but they asked too many questions and she is so rude.” Care slammed her hand on the table. “Where did they investigate?” “On the first floor. They are going to check on teachers. It’s getting worse.” “Oh, my gosh. Charlotte will be in trouble. How did you manage to tell?” Chloe panicked. “They asked me to tell me every incident, so I told the truth.” Care casually replied after taking a deep breath. “You told the truth? Are you insane?” Caleb silently yelled at her, trying not to grab any other attentions. “You want to know the truth. The truth is, Bill proposed to me.” “What am I asking you and what you are telling? Wait, a second. Bill did what?” Caleb got perplexed by her sister weird reply. “I got no tim
WHO KILLED HER? Charlotte stood up, almost knocking off the chair she was sitting on. Both of them in the room stared at her like dealing with some devil. She frightened both of them just with her fierce look. All these situations wake her to another tough face inside her. “I think you could sit down. I won’t be telling your personal issues to anyone. It’s none of my business.” The lady clearly told, looking a little frightened. “Iam not going to sit down. Thanks for understanding” Charlotte folded her hands across her chest. She’s ready to escape the room once the fingerprints got matched. “Um... the fingerprints are...” the man trailed off, looking at the computer. Charlotte holds her breath, waiting for him to finish. “It's not a match. You can go. Sorry for troubling you,” he finished, giving Charlotte shock and confusion. She doesn’t know whether to feel glad or further overthink about this. She simply nodded her head and walked
JEALOUS GIRL Finally, Caroline reached the shooting spot in Daniel’s Ferrari. She stepped outside and the Guards were standing beside her. She can’t spot Daniel anywhere. The place has a beach set up with all the technicians, cameras, etc... At the time, it looks like the shooting is over. Everyone is leaving. Care even expected to see any other favourite actress. Cause there are many known celebrities who are engaged in some conversation. The shooting is done outside the building. She really wants to explore the shooting area and the building. Care hopes one day Daniel will take her inside to show how the movie’s being taken. “Where is Daniel?” Care asked the guard. “He will come.” He replied with a stern look. Care waited for over fifteen minutes, not seeing Daniel. Finally, she saw him coming out of the building. She thought of waving at him, but she noticed he’s talking with some other woman. It’s not just a woman, she’s a popular actress w
I LOVE YOU Care blinked her eyes for a few minutes. She can’t believe she wrongly entered his bedroom. She was supposed to go to his office room. Now she can’t turn her feet away from this room. There’s a luxury black bed, some photos of Daniel hanging on the wall. She approached his childhood photo. ‘Daniel is so adorable,’ Care muttered seeing it. Daniel has a six-year-old kid standing on the Playground giving poses to the photo. That’s the only childhood pic. Another portrait caught her eyes. It’s his drawing at his current age. It’s so perfectly painted. Seeing paintings gives her a reminder of Chloe. She is talented too. Other than photos, there’s a laptop and some documents neatly arranged on his desk in a corner. If he already has an office, why keep it in this room. The room is painted in White and every object looked like it’s worth a million dollars. “What are you doing here, Caroline?” Daniel’s voice alerted Care. She turned towards the do
GAME ON Care shrieked, seeing Michael interrupted him. His entry embarrassed Michael. “Iam so…sorry... sir.” he stammered with the coffee cup is still in his hands. “Michael, get out now. I don’t need coffee.” Daniel shouted and Michael ran after closing the door. “Who wants coffee when I can have you.” Daniel touched Care’s cheek. He started kissing again and his hands travelled inside her top. She stopped kissing and looked at him. “Let’s take it slow.” “No offence. I can wait for you. Iam so happy right now. You accepted my proposal. Iam happy to have you as my girlfriend.” he lay next to her by facing each other closely. “Daniel Evans is my boyfriend. You don’t know how happy Iam.” she smiled at him, placing her hand on his chest, feeling his heartbeat. “But I have one condition.” “What’s that? Everything is going well.” he got panicked by her condition. “Nothing serious. I
Becca’s body or saves Jason ‘What can I do right now? I need to decide quickly. I can stay in prison for years, but I can’t lose Jason forever. Iam thinks Iam in love with him within this short period of time’ Charlotte thought to herself and called 911. Soon she reached the destination, and the ambulance arrived before she did. She ran and came all by herself to see Jason’s car on the edge of a bridge. It’s in a state of falling from the long heights. If it moved one inch, Jason’s life is over. “Jason” Charlotte screamed from the top of her lungs, running towards the car while some men stopped her. “Don’t go there. It’s not safe. The rescue team has already arrived.” That stranger consulted her while Charlotte was sobbing continuously. She never cried like this in her life. Not even for their parents dead, or for murdering Becca. The moon started to show up in the sky. The car is so invisible to other eyes to notice. I
Someone involved in this murder case “Thank you, Doctor.” Charlotte rushed inside while Care waited outside, giving her some time alone with him. “Hey, how are you feeling?” she asked, holding his hands lightly. There’s a bandage on his right hand and his head. She’s at least happy that the threatener didn’t kill him. “Iam good now. “He smiled weakly. He’s too weak to speak, but he’s hesitating to tell something. Charlotte looked at him, still with tears on her face. “Did you cry, char?” he asked slowly, trying to sit. “Maybe I did.” she lied, trying not to show it. She never cried like this before. It’s even unbelievable to her. “You don’t need to lie, Charlotte. Please don’t cry. Iam perfectly alright.” he assured her even in that difficult situation. “I know. I know but you are not perfectly alright,” she said, wiping her tears. “Then I will be perfectly alright soon and I heard what y
Chloe’s worst day The four of them shared the silence and finally looked at the phone. Ruby: I know you all been thinking about me. You all need to be happy that I didn’t tell you are the murderers to anyone. But don’t doubt for a second that I killed Becca. That’s such a stupid thought. Anyway, you will probably wonder how Iam. M. W is my short name. Find me if you can. It’s not that hard to find me when you all can murder and bury a girl. I will be waiting for the day when you uncover me, but that would be your last day. Have a good day with me in your dreams. “We can never get rid of this threatener but Iam not afraid of him. If I ever find him, I will kill him before he kills us,” Charlotte snarled. “Keep your voice low, Charlotte. The threatener must be somewhere near us. M.W knows everything. We can’t talk here.” Caroline firmly said. How did M.W know everything they talked about a few
