Chapter 18_ True identity

Alice was at the dinning with her parent and kid brother. Breakfast was served. Everybody was already eating expect Alice who keep fighting with the cutleries and it makes discomforting sounds. Her mom was force to ask what was bothering her.

"Alice, what wrong? You're not eating." Miss Davison asked her disturbed daughter.

"Nothing, I just don't feel like eating." Alice replied

"You look bother, are you okay."

"I'm good."

"You're sure?"

"I said I'm fine! I just don't have appetite, please let me be." Alice yelled. Her kid brother suddenly stopped eating and he stared at her.

"Mom, Alice is probably not okay." He Murmured.

"Alice, are you sick?" Mr. Davison then asked.

"Jezz! Dad, I said I'm fine. I'm not a baby anymore so stop treating me like one." She yelled angrily and suddenly the doorbell rings. "I'll get that." Alice said, stands up and walked to the door. She opened the door.

"Hello ma'am, how can I help you?" She said to a middle age woman standing outside, poorly dressed and looking familiar.

"Are you Alice?" she asked.

"Yes, I am. Do I know you?"

"I'm Mrs. Adams, eve Mom."

"Eve? Shit, Hell no!"

"I guess you must be surprised?"

"You're right, right now; I'm fucking Shock to my fucking bones."

Minutes later, Alice and Mrs. Adams sat at the living room. Eve mom was serve a drink by a maid, she couldn't reject so she took it. She holds the drink as she looks around the living room which look nothing half compare to hers. No wonder eve never invited her friend's home. They're crazily rich. She thought.

Alice was shock by eve mother appearance. This isn't what she expected of her. She was looking like the trash can right now. Is this what Eve really is? Why'd she had to hide it? Why does she have to lie? She keeps questioning deep in her heart.

"Miss Alice, do you have any idea where my daughter could be?" Mrs. Adams suddenly asked.

Alice shakes her head. "No idea. I'm sorry about your daughter but I do hope she will be found soon."

"I hope so too. Miss Alice, how long have you known my daughter?"

"Since she was transfer to my school."

"Transfer? I guessed that what she told you. Were you two very close friends?"

She remains silent for a while and then answer, "I guess no. actually I thought she, no, they were my best and the only friend I had but I guess I was mistaken. I know absolute nothing about her, nothing. You know, I was freaking in shock when you told me you are Eve mom. This wasn't what I thought of you. She told me her mother owe a big eatery and her father is the director of R.R.E company in Dubai but looking at you right now, spelled that a big lie. A was a fool to have believe them and got deceived."

"Them?"

"Of course them"

"Can I have the address of the others?"

Alice smiled. "I don't actually know where she lived. I have friends and I know nothing about them, not even their resident. Doesn't that make me a big fool?"

Suddenly, Mrs. Adams phone ring. "Excuse me," she said and pick up, "Hello officer brook. Where? I'm on my way now." She hangs up. "I have to go now."

"What wrong Mrs. Adams?"

"They found my daughter."

"Really! I'm coming with you."

She drove Mrs. Adams on her car to the crime scene. Cops were everywhere so as detectives. The exact scene was separated from people.

Mrs. Adams hurried out of the car. She runs to her daughter lifeless body which was already covered on the ground. She removed the cloth half way from her body. Her body has rotted greatly with an abject smell. At once, she started crying. Alice came to her seconds later. On seeing Eve lifeless body on the ground, she covered her mouth with her two hand and cry silently.

Keisha was also at the scene hiding behind some mountain. She had flied to the scene when she had seen the news on TV. She was surprise and confused, this isn't the place she had left Eve lifeless body, neither isn't the place the scene occurred. How come did her body appear here? She thought. Suddenly, her gaze catches on Eleanor. She was standing afield the crime scene rather smiling.

"What's she doing there? Wait; don't tell me she got something to do with eve body appearing here." Soon, Eleanor began leaving. Keisha followed her secretly but lost her sooner.

"Where did she go? She asked herself looking around to see if I could find her but didn't. "I have to leave before someone sees me." She said and began leaving.

Alice was weak by what she saw. Even thou Eve have gone missing at those time, she never believe that death has already become her fate. It was still hard for her to believe even now. Mrs. Adams had been taken away by some cops and tried consoling her. Alice went back to her car. Her eyes were red and heavy. She brought out a cigarette and put it on fire. She smoke it a puff smoke heavily to the sky. Then gaze suddenly saw someone. She saw a glimpse of someone leaving and dressed in a disguised.

She wiped the tear from her my eyes. "Who the heck look familiar that so?" She thought trying to recollect who it was. "Keisha!" She murmured at once. "That's her. What's she doing here?" She said and throw the cigarette away, get out of the car and tried tracking her but she lost her in no time.

'Where did she go? Why so in a hurry? I didn't see her early. That means she didn't make her presence visible to everyone here. Why was she on hide? Does she know something about this?" She rambled.
