Chapter eight

[True Friend]

"There is even a happiness that makes the heart afraid"

"Can you drive slowly?" Trexie remind him. Niel was driving too fast like he's chasing the lightning. Look serious and seem his mind and ears are clogged and closed.

" Heck, do you want to follow the victim?" She said with a loud a voice so as to stopped him. If they did not use the seatbelt, surely, they will going to flies into the road.

Niel looked at the rearview mirror. Glaring at her. " Don't you know that every second is very important?" His voice is sharp and if it is knife, she will going to die.

She blink twice but still shock. "Are you saying that every second is more important than to our lives?" She doesn't believe what was Neil said.

What kind of instinct is that?

He remains in silent instead Niel started the car and drive. By and by he answered Trexie's question, earlier.

"My answer to what you are asking earlier is.. yes."

Trexie wide her eyes. "What?"

"As a detective, every second is very important especially when the files is confidential. Our job is not a joke and our life is depending on how we handle it. If we will push it or leave it to live."

Trexie's mind suddenly stop. She don't know if he's giving an advice or a warning.

She get what was his point, theirr job is not a joke. But her life is precious. If he wants to die then let her live!

"We need Sharon's statement. But we can't always reach her. If she's still doing this.. she will be our prime suspect." Breakage of the silence. We are on our way to Sharon's house.

Trexie have a hunch that Sharon has the motive to do it to her best friend. For now, they need to know the reasons why they are fighting.

"Is anybody home?" Niel's consecutive calls but no one answered even there is someone inside. So, Trexie will try to peek the inside and to get the attention of the someone inside.

"Trexie, what are you doing?" Niel calling her attention. She just standing there and watching the dead dog.

"Don't come close to that dog!" He exclaimed when he noticed something suspicious to the dog. There is a black dot anywhere in the dog's body.

"Am I thinking right?" Trexie suddenly ask to herself. She looks pitiful to the dog. He knows what was her feeling.

Trexie likes dog, no, she loves dogs. She has a pet but suddenly die and the reason is poisoning. She can't accept that her dog is dead in just a blink of an eye.

The day Trexie's feeling; trembling and out of her mind.

"Jessica!" Someone shouted at our back. We both turn around and guessing that it was Sharon.

She looks pale with a dark circles under the eyes, messy hair, and losyang.

Niel approach Trexie that still out of her mind. "Are you okay?"

"Who are you?" Sharon asking. Glaring her eyes.

He turned around and take his ID. "We are detective. We are here to ask you something important."

Sharon was speechless while Niel trying to read her mind and expression.

" This way," she pointed the way inside of the house.

"Give me a few minutes, I'll just prepare some snacks." Sharon said.

" It's okay, we are fine." He refused.

" Okay then. So, what can I help?"

He smiled. " Our findings that, before Sarah's death you had a fight. Can you please tell me what is the reason why?"

"Then—

Sharon's phone suddenly rung. She picked up her phone and just stare into it. They had no idea who is it but, they feel curious. Sharon slide her phone and they don't know if she answered it or ended the call. But they saw an evil smile on her lips. She put the phone down to her thigh.

"Please just answered it, maybe it is important." Giving her permit.

[Son of—]

A voice coming from her phone.

Sharon lough in an crazy way that made us uncomfortable. But the more frightens, she cried like a child and panic while biting her nails.

She was totally out of her mind.

"Niel," Trexie called his attention and look to what her holding. It is drugs.

"This is the reason why she is like that." She added.

"Give me that!"

Sharon snap Trexie and use her force to get the drugs that Trexie was holding. Niel trying to separate Sharon to Trexie. She looks weak than to Sharon. After all, Sharon is too big for her to fight back.

When Sharon get what she wants, she ran out in the kitchen. They followed her but they saw that she was holding a knife pointing to her neck. She cried sincerely. They feel so pity to her.

The conscience is killing her slowly to think that she just needed to kill herself to runaway.

"Sharon, put that down," He calmly said to her but she never did it.

"I am going to die that full of self-reproach. Even I died, I was hoping that you all forgive me."

Without knowing, Trexie was on her back to prevent the accident. She took the electro shock weapon inside the jacket and point to Sharon's back nape and lost her conscious but still it happened. Because the knife was too near to her neck and create a blood line.

Trexie was too shock and just stand like statue – nervosity and panicked.

Niel cover his hands to the Sharon's neck to prevent more blood to come out. He turned around.

"What are you doing? Call ambulance!" He shouted.

"It is not the time to be puzzled! " He added.

" O — okay! "

She went into the dining room and get her phone. Even her nervous was dominated, she dial 119 for help.

[Hello 119, what can I help?]

"Pl—please, we need help, there is woman badly wounded!"

[Can you tell us your location?]
