14 The Suspect

In the previous chapter-

Jack was looking down at the floor. Tissue papers were in another corner of the room. I didn't want to leave him even for 5 seconds. The tissue papers came in my hands and I gave it to him. He cleaned his face.

I gasped. Wait... I didn't get up to get the tissues... How did those get in my hands? Did I get those... By using my ability?

"Jenny hurry up!" Holly waved at me.

"You've surely learned to walk fast with those lizard legs of yours" I smirked while walking.

"Jealous? " She rubbed her shoulder against mine.

"You are."

"Of your frog legs? " She asked.

"Urghh enough about legs" I said.

"So you finally ran out of words huh" She chuckled.

"Just shut up"

"If not in the street then where should we talk? It was your idea to go to the library, and we can't talk there" she shook her head.

"Umm yeah, exams are approaching and... " I paused.

"And? " She asked.

"And I wanted to spend more time with you" I said.

Holly blushed, "It's your first time insisting on spending time alone. You always gave me the cold shoulder and I had to ask you out! And we could've done it in our university or your house or mine".

"Jack has brought his friends over and sorry, but your parents don't like me that much. "

Holly protested.

"No offense. And couldn't do it in our university because of Noah you know" I said.

"Why? He's a good guy. Isn't he?" Holly asked. She always trusted my judgement.

"Yup, he's easy to get along with and pleasing to stay around. But I just wanna spend some alone time with you, just like we used to do" 

"Ay, is my jenny jealous? "

"You wish" I said. It used to be just two of us a week before. I wasn't afraid of being judged by her, and she wasn't either. Although I was an introvert, I never ran out of topics with her. Even silence felt comfortable.

"Nice location. The Library. We can't even talk!" She said.

"We can talk quietly" I said while walking.

"Why not talk on the street then? " She was annoyed.

"Creates traffic I replied.

"Umm what about a café? " She asked.

"What if a friend of yours sees us there and asks to join us? You've a lot of friends after all. "

Holly hugged me, "So what? You're my best friend. "

I smiled.

"But we can come across any classmates in the library too" She tilted her head.

"As you said, the people who wanna enjoy and talk meet in cafés and parks. The people choose library as a place to talk are maniacs" I said.

"Like you? " She asked.

"Like us" I replied.

Hmm... It had been a week since I started to use that ability as I wish. Although I couldn't use it 24/7 and on everything. I could use it to move around small objects when I put my mind to it. Could I use it on people as well? I didn't know. The more I moved something the easier it became for me to move. Just like that, it took me a bit of hard work to move new objects. I could move things over a specific distance, such as moving my bags from downstairs to my room.

I was a beginner at it. I wondered if there was anyone else other than me and that person who fulfilled my desire, who has these powers? Are there more type of powers?

Holly stopped walking, making the spaced out me dash her from behind.

"What? " I asked.

"A nightmare" She said dramatically.

"What?" I asked again.

Some police officers were blocking the road and inquiring people about their life, whom they suspect for mysterious murders etc.

"That's not gonna help. Why would they do that?" I asked Holly.

"As if I know" she sighed.

We all stood in a line. One after another was being inquired. It was chaotic; as people wanted to hurry but at the same time, they were afraid, what if police suspect them?

Holly's turn came. She was trying to act confident. But the police acted weird around her. Then came my turn.

Before they could ask anything, I asked "why police? Why not MMIO? "

They frowned.

"Is it any of your business lady? " One young officer asked.

"Nosy young people these days" an old police man said.

"So you're working under MMIO. I see. Please go on" I looked at Holly. It was funny how 'please don't mess with them' was written all over her face.

"Hmph, what's your name? " The old officer asked while cleaning his nose.

Gross.

"Jenny Anderson" I replied.

Their eyes widened. They were silent for some moments. What was happening? The young officer took out his phone. No he didn't take my pic.

Then another officer asked, "uhh so, what do you think of these uh murders I mean?" Everyone was staring at me.

Why the special attention? They definitely didn't seem attracted to me.

I answered their every question. Wait... I checked my arms, I fondled my face. I wasn't bleeding right? I couldn't afford to heal in front of them. No I wasn't bleeding.

They just nodded. The young officer put his phone in his pocket when it ended, as if he was recording everything. Maybe I was being paranoid...?

They let me go. Worried Holly asked me hundreds of questions.  But her smile was fake.

As soon as we started walking she stopped again.

"What? " I asked annoyedly.

"She called my family some days ago, my aunt... Holly mumbled.

"WHAT? WHY? " That caught me off guard. "After all those, how dare they?" I asked.
