"I just hope I'm wrong" I started moving closer with so many questions on my mind but I couldn't just find a suitable answer for any of them the scene was already getting clear the crowd had disappeared, and the staff in the ambulance were out already packing the body while the cops looking around for what I think might be some evidence. One of the cops found the purse lying on the floor and gave it to one of his colleagues and he put it in a white bag. The cops were already putting caution tape around the crime scene to prevent anyone in the crime scene, and the hospital staff had already laid the body on a stretcher. The cops were still inspecting everywhere, and I was about to reach the ambulance when my mind stopped working again, and I halted my movements. I just couldn't summon the courage to go near the body

"What if it's Ary's? Does that mean I won't have a mother anymore?"

"Would I end up being an orphan once again?"

"Would that just be the end of it?" I kept asking myself

    "Okay, that's deep; let's just hope for the best, okay? Everything is going to be fine." He patted my shoulder and gave me a warm smile, which I tried returning but just didn't look genuine enough. We continued walking back to where Kira and Bianca were "And yeah the cop said they found an ID card with the name...." He was about to finish his sentence when we saw both of them running towards our direction, which got me thinking. I mean, what could have happened that they were running towards? Aren't they supposed to be with the ambulance? "What's up with them," Elliot said unable to finish what he was saying "I don't know I hope it's something good" I said "Diana, good thing we found you in time" Kira said panting heavily while Bianca stood still trying to catch her breath "What happened?" I asked them, really confused. "Yeah, why are you girls panting so much?" Elliot also asked, and he sounded really confused, too. "The body..." Bianca said still trying to catch her breath and

    "Ok thanks a lot" Elliot said to the nurse giving him a shot smile "It's no problem just be careful in there" The nurse warned us "Sure we'll be as careful as possible" Elliot said and the nurse left "I guess this is it," Elliot said, facing me and his face gave me a little bit of hope. I placed my hand on the doorknob a second after I placed my second hand on the door and pushed the door inward for us to enter and the door finally opened. I entered the room and the coldness of the room filled my body there were more than fifty lockers in the room which I'm guessing it's filled with dead bodies the thought alone gave me the chills "Come on let's check these things quickly we don't have the whole time in the world," said Elliot sighing again I followed right behind him "But where do we start from there are so many lockers in here" I exclaimed "Exactly why I asked you to hurry things up. You know what you check this side..." he said pointing his hand to his right-hand side "...wh

    Bianca's POV After Dian0a and Elliot left, I dragged Kira back to the car since she refused to leave the hospital but decided to take a look around instead...I mean who does that? A hospital of all places. But I managed to drag her outside even though she wanted to prove stubborn. We got to the car and I remembered Elliot still had the keys, so we were unable to sit in the car, so we had to rest our backs on the car instead and wait. "Only if you didn't drag me we wouldn't be in this situation right now" Kira said "And we would have found it hard to find those two later," I said in reply "Gosh... that's why we have cells..so we can call..." she said placing her phone closed to her ear in the demonstration but I just laughed "Plus why would he have left his keys he doesn't know us ...he knows Diana" "Yeah right whatever, ever," she said rolling her eyeballs After what seemed like an eternity of waiting I decided to go inside and check what was happening...but before then we saw

    DIANA I sat down brooding in the cell where I was detained not knowing what to think of "Should I think of how to get out of here?" "But I don't have my phone with me and I don't see any of the cops around here" "Or maybe think about Elliot; what's there to think about him, but is he locked up like I am too?" I kept talking to myself pacing up and down the cell "If he is, that means we are doomed 'cause how on earth do we get outta here then?" "Well, he should; he's got connections,s, right? And moreover is kinda popular " "But why would they arrest him in the first place if he's that popular I guess no one is above the law then." "Arrgghh this is so frustrating " I finally said to myself and sat down on the bench that was placed inside, at least the place looked neat I wouldn't know how I would have survived a minute longer if it had been the other way around "I just hope Kira and Bianca are okay " I said sighing "God knows if they have the slightest idea of what mess I

    'Diana sir" I said"Hmmm, Diana or Diana Roberts?" He asked"O,h so you knew? Right from the instance I saw you walking here, I knew you were gonna be a pain in my ass. Why would you ask me when you know who I am or you just wanted to confirm so that you don't let the wrong inmate out? Well, that's even if you're here to let me out, but how on earth did you know my full name?" I said in my mind and sighed"Diana Roberts, are you still here?" He said snapping me out"Yeah, I'm here, it's Diana Roberts" I replied"Oh good, because someone is here to bail you out," He said"Oh thank God I can't just wait to get the hell outta here" I said in my mind"But..." I hear him say and I can't just help but imagine what the but could mean when he said someone's already here to bail me out"I don't feel like letting you out because you're gonna cause a lotta trouble in the future," He said finally and I was shocked by his statement"I'm sorry, did you just say you don't feel like letting me out?

    After Kira and Bianca left there was an awkward silence between us which made me uncomfortable"So umm thanks for bailing me out," I said breaking the silence"I erm appreciate it," I said again"What...no no no I didn't bail you out I was unable to get your bail" he said confused"You didn't? I don't understand. If you didn't, then who did?" I asked"Yeah that I don't know I was just as shocked as you are when I got to the counter with my lawyer and I was told someone already bailed you out" He said"Someone bailed me out? While I was here thinking it was you""Well it wasn't me""Apart from you and Kira and Bianca, I don't think anyone else knew I was taken by the police""Or is there anyone else we are missing" I asked"Nope it's just us I guess but whoever it is was probably following you for the person to know you were taken by the police," He said"Following me? So I've earned myself a stalker now?" I asked"Look like it," he said chuckling"Do you remember the person told you I

    "You guys done yet?" Kira asked"We never started anything" I said facing her at the back"If you say so but Elliot's car is still locked" Kira said"Oh sorry I didn't realize I'm used to being the only one in the car" he said with a light chuckle while he unlocked the doors"Thanks for bailing Diana out today we appreciate if not for you she would still be there" Bianca said laughing and she opened the door to alight from the car"Ok now I wish I was the one that bailed her out" Elliot said"What do you mean you wish? Weren't you the one that bailed her out?" Kira asked confused as she also alighted from the car"C'mon guys I'll tell you when we get inside," I said and I also finally got out of the car but I mouthed a thank you before I got off while he nodded"Bye," we all said and he zoomed off"So much for a day damn I need a shower," I said shaking my head and proceeded to the house"Being a while here" I heard Bianca say"I'm so gon crash when I get inside" Kira also said"I kno

    "Errm yeah," Kira said"No that's not possible we don't have any of this stuff in here well except for flour Ary always made sure we don't run out of any very important," I said"You mean all these things?" Bianca said opening a freezer that was locked behind a door that I'm sure I've never seen in my whole life I've been with Ary and my mouth opened wide in surprise"I can't believe Ary has all this in the house while I starve most of the time and eat sandwiches like there's no tomorrow or probably some stolen foods I got from the restaurant while we have good stuffs in the house" I said in my mind"But where did she get all of these good foods from? Did she rob a supermarket? I said in my mind""And what if I told you guys I never saw all these since I've been living here?" I said still staring at the fridge"What?" I hear Bianca say"Yup," I said and closed back the fridge"So you mean you don't know all these things exist in your kitchen?" Bianca asked"You don't wanna know" I sai

    Diana POV"Geez" I can't believe I almost injured myself with the door. Thank goodness she didn't see that after I left the room I went straight to the living room and sat down for a minute. Shortly after I decided to go check up on Ary in her room and maybe tell her about what happened yesterday depending on the situation I met her in"Oh God, I still feel sleepy; I don't know why Kira woke me up," I said and walked sluggishly to her room. "Knock knock" I knocked on her door yawning but there was no reply"Maybe she's still sleeping" I concluded and left the door"Wait a minute, didn't Bianca say it was afternoon already? It's not possible she's still sleeping" I said and turned back to her room"No no wait, what is she's sleeping I might end up disturbing her sleep and she's not going to spare me if I did" I said and turned back again fearing her scolding"Just a check won't hurt not that I'm going to make any noise or anything," I said to myself and then summoned the courage to wa

    Kira POV"Are you awake yet?" I asked Bianca who seemed to be half awake but I didn't get a response"I guess not," I said sighing I kept looking up with my hands folded to the back of my head staring at the ceilings "I'm awake" I hear Bianca say tiredly"Argh Finally someone is awake you guys were sleeping like you're not going to wake up again " I lamented out of anger"We were just really tired Kira, but how come you are awake so early in the morning?" Bianca asked rubbing her eyes with the back of her palm like she still wanted to go back to sleep only if she knew what the time says"Early, you say. Do you know what the time is? But I guess not" I asked"10 o'clock maybe?" She asked"Oh you wish it's fucking twelve already" I said rolling my eyes"Oh my goodness, I can't believe I slept that long and I haven't eaten," She said and held her grumbling tummy"We slept late so that's worth the sleep," I told her"Since when have you been awake?" She asked"I don't know, eleven, maybe

    "What?" I said "fuck I wasn't expecting that," I said in my mind"Yeah we didn't do anything" Elliot said in our defense"You tell that when we get to our office," He said and took us to the car we tried explaining to him that we didn't do anything but he wasn't listening looks like it was a bad day for him and it Elliot's involvement wasn't helping looks like he was already on their bad side so it made things a lil bit worse. And that was how we ended up at the police station"Whoa," Kira said"Good thing it's all settled now," Bianca said"Yup glad it did" I said"But how did Ary's purse end up with her?" Bianca asked"That's what I don't understand," I said"But Ary said her purse was stolen," Kira said"But she doesn't look like someone from the street," I said"Or maybe she's a godmother or what else will she be doing with a stolen purse"Kira said"She might be the one that stole it and ended up in some bad stuffs that led to her death since Ary didn't really see who stole it we

    "What do you mean that's Ari's name" He also asked surprised"Yeah Ary Ariah," I said"But this doesn't make sense," I said"Yeah, but the cop did say they found two ID cards in the purse, though, so we don't know who is who", he said while I just nodded and continued searching this time thoroughly for more reasons why I needed to find some information about the body. After some moments I found a file which I guess belonged to the case so I dusted it and brought it out"I think I found something," I said and placed the file on a table I brought out the papers and checked out what was insideFace Identified: Sarah JordanMarital status: unknownFather: unknownMother: unknownSiblings: 1Husband: Not marriedChildren: nillHeight: 5'6Death type: Homicide"Come take a look at this El" I called out to him"What's that" he said and came over to where I was and also read through the file"Looks like they found out who she was already but how could they have found out so much information s

She said again and I was shocked to see her "thought she went to sleep already," I said in my mind because I wasn't planning to tell her anything"No none of us got arrested we were just talking about the movie we saw on her way back" Kira lied"You guys went out to see a movie?" She asked surprised"Yeah Bianca's treat" She lied again"Yup it's my treat" Bianca said shooting daggers through her eyes at Kira"Oh, that's nice. I see you guys are enjoying yourself; just be careful out there," she said. "Yes ma'am" Bianca replied"I thought you already went to bed," I said to her and as well finishing up the dishes"Yeah came out cause I needed water" she said showing me the glass of water she had in her hand and then gulping it down her throat"I was about to drink when I heard something about jail stuff so I was scared," She said"Oh," I said and chuckled"Well I'm done here too," I said signalling to the girls to let go back to my room"Oh good
