All Chapters of FIRE CRACKER : Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

I glanced at Tyler and he sighed, induced lines of stress were visible on his forehead and his head was tilted to the side as he stared at me. The jean-clad man did not offer me any form of acknowledgment and for a moment I felt like he was gauging me."Do you trust me?" I asked, He blinked."What do you mean? Of course, I do," He affirmed softly. "You don't act like it," I added gently and began to walk towards the cafeteria, where Leonardo had run off too."Look, Danielle, I trust you." Tyler must have speed-walked because one moment he was behind me and the next he was in front of me, successfully blocking my way with his hand on my arm.I paused and took in his features for the millionth time that day. He stood straight and sported a white Nike shirt. "Will you tell me what happened last night?""Nothing happened last night Tyler! Why won't you just drop it? This is what I'm talking about!" I yelled and jerked from his grip."I'm not dumb Danielle! Don't treat me like I'm stupid!

My feet crushed the ground beneath me with a force I never knew I had, My fingers dug into my palm and my knuckles seemed like they would break at any moment, My breathing was sharp and full of fumes, and My eyes narrowed at the hospital hallway and I could hear the aggressive loud beats of my heart block out the noises around me.I only pulled to a halt when I reached my destination, I flung the door open and locked eyes with Charlotte who sported a look of confusion with a glint of fear. "Where is it?" I growled."What do you mean, Danny?" She asked in a tone that sounded too sweet to me at this point, I had a million emotions pulsing through me and I could not think straight at all, I knew full well that I would not be held responsible for my actions if this woman did not answer me quickly and efficiently."I don't have time for this," I gritted out, "Where is it" I added as the bitter taste of betrayal explored my mouth."What do you mean, Danielle? I have n

“That woman is a monster,” Tyler noted as I ended the dreaded video, I shut my eyes and sucked in short breaths before I reopened them.“Alice has always been a monster, always,” I added and stood up from the couch I had been sitting on. I heard Tyler sigh and his light footsteps followed.“At least now, You’ve got the information you need, You can get her arrested for your father’s murder,” Tyler informed me. I turned and glanced up at him. “It’s not that simple, my father was shot multiple times, even though this is substantial evidence, there’s no certainty that it is enough to put Alice behind bars. We can only hope that it would save Rye.” I explained.“That’s going to be a bit complicated,” Tyler commented.“Why do you say so?” I asked and he ran his hands through his hair, I licked my lips as I anticipated his response.“Well, I say so because all of this only proves that Alice was connected to your father’s death, the ca

"I saw his face." My bottom lip quivered, my eyes stung with fresh hot tears and my feet felt like they were riding on jelly. It felt like everything was becoming obnoxiously loud and I wanted it to stop."I saw his face," I repeated, my voice sounded a pitch higher than a remember but it felt like my throat my clogged, and my chest was restricted. At this point, it felt like my head was nearly above water because my entire body felt uncomfortable.For the first time in three years, I could see it, I could see it playing like a movie right in front of my eyes, with no blurs, no form or illusions or anything. I saw his face, I saw how his hands pressed onto the trigger button before the bullet went off, I could hear things, very real things.The sound of old music playing in the background from the floor below us, it was my mother's birthday but my father insisted that he wanted her to at least enjoy his genre of music for the first time since they had been married, the sound of glasse

This hospital was a complete contrast to anyone I had ever seen. The depressing atmosphere seemed extinct and you could barely feel the urgency soaked in the walls. There was no loud barking from one medical practitioner to the other and there were no stretchers running about. I quickened my pace as I followed Tyler and Leonardo. The latter had been stuck to the duo ever since the incident, I felt a pang in my chest at the fact that the bit was probably lonely, especially after the incident with his family and the fact that he would barely see them in Canada.“How may I help you?” The receptionist was a petite blonde with dimples, She had tanned skin and her hair stopped just below her jaw, forming an exquisite bob.“I’m here to see my brother, Trace Adams, I’m Tyler Adams—” He rushed out and you could hear the urgency in his tone.“Oh my, You are Tyler Adams?” Her chirpy tone had lowered a bit, The edges of her lips curled downwards and her eye lid’s lowered. “Your family is waiting
