They look familiar...a bit too familiar

Stare at the liar 🥀

"Good morning Sofia" the officer greeted as Sofia walked into the room, Sofia gave her a nod as acknowledgement

"Can you give us a run down of your day, day before yesterday" the officer asked but more like said

"I was home with my mom and little brother, I only left after lunch for work which starts by 3:00 so I left 2:28 the drive is 30 minutes-" Sofia began but was interrupted by the officer

"Where do you work" he asked

"Sweet bread, it's a bakery" Sofia answered

"Go on" the officer said with a nod

"I was at work until 5 when I closed, Charon called me crying and told me about Xavier cheating on her with Jen, I consoled her and told her I'll be there later.. then I went to see my dentist at 6:05 I went home.. to get ready to go see Charon before she does anything stupid.. she's wild when she's mad and Jen gets really irritated when she doesn't make her point.. my shower took a bit longer than expected by 7:25 Charon called me crying again so i immediately rushed over, I saw Jennifer getting in Xavier's car at the station I wanted to stop her but the car sped away already" Sofia explained

"Charon and Jennifer are not a so good combination then" the officer said nonchalantly as he wrote down something

"They make it work" Sofia replied with a smile

"How long have you know the victim" the officer asked

"Since we were little..elementary school" Sofia answered

"Is she a villain or the hero" the officer playfully asked

"She can be both when needed.. calm and stormy" Sofia replied with the same playful tone, the officer nodded

"We'll meet again later, you can rest in the waiting area or get something to eat" the officer offered

"Sam, take this young lady to the cafeteria" the officer said he nodded at Sofia who nodded back

Everlin was still crying non stopped

"ma'am calm down" the officer coaxed for the seventh time

"It...hunts...me" Everlin said between sobs

"It's hard it is but you have to be strong for your friends right" the officer added, finally she calmed down

"Okay so on the 7th how did your day go" the officer asked

"It was okay" Everlin answered

"Can you let me about it" the officer felt like she was talking to a kid, trying not to trigger another water fall from her with certain questions.. in she starts again she'll have to call Carl to come in, her patience could not no more. They've been in there for seventeen minutes and every time they'll talk about Jennifer's body...Everlin would boast into tears

"I was home basically the whole morning in the evening I went to the gym that was 2:30 then by 4 I went home and then around 5 or something like that Charon texted me about what Jennifer did, we chatted for a while and I tried calming her down, she sounded drunk but she told me she was at scarlet's so I know she'll be fine then around 7 something Sofia called me asking if  Jennifer was with me but she wasn't that when I texted her about the shit she did..she never replied" Everlin ended with tears again

"How did you find her body" the officer asked

"We were just walking, when I saw this hand sticking out, Denna thought it was plastic and some dumb prank by some kid but I insisted we check so Denna pulled the hands and we realized it was person then I-I saw h-her" bam back to the crying , the officer let her take her time until she calmed down then they continued

"So you immediately called the police" the officer asked

"Yes" Evelin said with a nod

"Why did you go all the way in 7th street to buy noddles when the local store is just a minute away" the officer asked

"I don't know, Denna wanted some black and she likes sams.. I just went along" Everlin answered

"I think a rest is overdue Everlin.. I'll see you in a minute or two" the officer said

"Martin can you take Everlin to the cafeteria" the officer said

"Sure" Martin nodded then directed Everlin to the cafeteria.

"Tony, get me that Xavier and scarlet.. give them so questions. I'll like to talk to the Anderson myself, send someone to that club manager and get me Jennifer's phone and purse" Carl said

"On it chief" he replied as he left to get the purse and phone

"Here" Tony said placing both items on the desk, they were still sealed in the investigation bags

"Thank you" Carl thanked..after Tony left she wore her gloves then removed the phone..it was still on and working and on, what was this killing trying to say with this, her purse was intact the only thing that was missing is her Handkerchief

And perfume nothing else, Carl went through the call logs, three unknown numbers caught her attentio, she wrote them down then proceeded to check the calls..she didn't call any of her friends and non of them called her day before yesterday nor yesterday. Carl decided to check the messages later. She sent the numbers to her computer team to run the numbers in the system she then went for the purse, nothing unusual.. some cash, her card, lipgloss, a pad and her perfume and Handkerchief that was now not in the purse..she put everything back, the purse and the phone was scanned more then ten times but no finger print apart from her own was found on it and that frustrated her.. if the killer took her perfume and Handkerchief why isn't a finger print on it. Carl packed ever back into place and kept it in her drawer.

"Come in" she called out when a knock came through the door startling her

"Captain it's the Andersons" the officer said

"Let them in" Carl said the officer nodded then left to get the couple.. Carl was suddenly nervous.. it's probably because of the surname that bring back the memories ..she has given up so why does it shark a familiar feeling, another knock brought her back to planet earth.

"Come in" she called the door flung open and she stumbled and almost fell

"You okay" Ann Anderson asked as worry flashed her eyes

"I'm fine" Carl said composing herself

"Take a seat please" she offered.

"Is it the girls, did they get into trouble" Ann asked as she took a seat

"Sofia would stop them, she responsible enough" Jacob Anderson said as he also took his seat

"Unless she's in with them" jacob added

"Let the lady tell us" Ann said her statement this time directed at Carl

"Um-yes.. it's your daughter" Carl said she found it really hard for some reason to deliver the new maybe they look so nice and they care about all the other girls even though they're not their children definitely not because - no no way, Carl thought as she subconsciously shook her head

"What happened to her" Ann asked as her body went into panic mood

"Calm down dear" Jacob said as he patted her back

"She-she passed" Carl said she expected them to ask what she meant or something but with anna immediately fainting and jacob looking as pale as a vampire. She knew they knew what she meant, thankfully jacob caught Ann before she hit the ground

"Diana, I need medical help here" Carl said through the phone..30 seconds later two woman boost into the room and carried Ann with them

"Would see be fine" jacob asked worried for his wife

"She'll be alright sir" one of the woman said and jacob nodded trusting them

"Can-can I...see her" jacob said after Anna and the nurses left

"Her body is still in the hospital in about an hour, I'm coming to the hospital for her reports if you can wait we can go together" Carl explained

"okay" Jacob nodded

"There a room, if you'll want to rest until then" Carl offered and Jacob nodded again.. it was like the information was sinking deeper and deeper and it was affecting him

"Martin can you take mr.Anderson to the guest room and get Diana" Carl instructed.. Martin understood the Diana part, he knew Carl simply meant to keep a doctor near him to check up on him if necessary to be close by for emergency calls

"Okay" Martin replied.. people do look alike, it is said that you look like 6 people around the world.. that could be it.

"Charon" Denna called when Charon reached the cafeteria

"You're here?" Charon said but it was more like a question instead

"I know right" Denna said with a smile

"Come and have a seat" she offered and Charon took it

"Is Evelin here too" Charon asked

"Yes" Denna nodded as she took a sip of her coffee,

"What would you like with your bread ma'am" a lady asked, Charon guessed she worked at the cafeteria so she answered

"Jam and tea pleas instead of coffee" soon another tray came for Charon.

"So they think you killed her too" Denna suddenly blurted out, making Charon choke on her Bread after a coughing spree it stop finally

"I- don't think so they're just asking questions" Charon said and Denna just smiled

"I don't think so" she said, they sat in silence while Charon ate for a while until someone else walked in Sofia

"Sofia" Charon called

"How did it go" Charon asked, Sofia didn't even bother greeting Denna and she wasn't hurt a bit

"Okay I guess.. just some basic questions" she replied thesame girl came again to ask what sofia wanted

"Just a glass of cold lemon juice if it's available" sofia answered

"Sure" the girl replied before walking off... she soon came with Sofia's drink the silent rained again this time it was a bit tense and uncomfortable but the girls just kept quite after Charon finished... she left with sofia to take a seat on the Couch, which was just at the corner of the cafeteria..she asked Denna to come sit with them but she said she was okay where she is..the girls didn't talk much either, officers were everywhere in there and it was quite obvious they were onto them and it's so uncomfortable but they just sat there and chatted about everything. After about 30 minutes Everlin walked in

"Did you have a whole court hearing in there" Denna asked, Everlin just sighed and sat down..she saw the girls in the corner sitting and chatting, they waved her over but she rubbed her belly indicating that she's very hungry which actually made the girls chuckle and her smile, finally some of the tension was leaving the room, the same girl came to ask Evelin what she wanted she told her two sandwiches and a glass of ginger juice

"So how was it" Denna asked

"It was okay" Everlin replied

"Why did you take so long" Denna asked

"I was breaking Down" Everlin replied

"Ohh" Denna exclaimed, Everlin's food arrived and she wolved everything down, she told Denna.. let them go sit with Sofia and Charon but she didn't want to do and it was quite obvious it was because Sofia was here so Everlin left, Denna was a alone person even though they've been leaving together for 4years they knew little about each other

"How was it" Charon asked

"It was-it was it" Everlin replied vaguely then lay her head on Sofia's lap and soon fell asleep.
