COINCIDENCE

"Lisa I just thought of something," Anika said.

"What?"

"Where's the dog?"

"That's true, I haven't seen the dog anywhere lately."

"We need to look for him, it's quite strange Isy didn't even bother to tell anyone she can't find Jake. The other time she raised an alarm but I wonder why she didn't this time."

"Well maybe she didn't notice cuz of all this drama going on. That aside, let's go look for it now."

"Ok, but just let me shower first," Anika said standing up and walked towards the bathroom.

Meanwhile, Isabella was in her room fiddling with her teddy bear Miss Cuddles. Isabella was twitching her head side to side looking at the teddy bear then a smirk came on her face. She stood up from her bed opened the door and went towards the direction of the basement. When she entered she said some chants and a dark shadowy figure appeared, she smiled then said, "I need some time and you're gonna buy me some."

Mr. Johnson drove to the station in company of the lawyer. When they got there, they asked for Daniel and they were taken to go see him.

When they were seated, Mr. Johnson looked Daniel in the eye very sternly.

"Daniel, I can't believe you did this!"

"Dad, I didn't do it I-"

"Shut up and look at this."

Daniel looked at his father's phone and his eyes opened in astonishment as he saw himself pick up a knife and go into the nanny's room, he didn't know when tears started running down his face.

"I, I, I....didn't do it."

Just then, he felt a sharp pain on his right cheek, he held it as he recoiled back in his seat from his father's slap.

"After watching this, you still have the nerve to look me in the eyeball and tell me you didn't do it. I know I didn't train a murderer under my roof for the past eighteen years. I'm only here because of your mother. So you better start saying the truth and say it NOW!"

The lawyer gently touched Me. Johnson's arm.

"Now Daniel, I need you to cooperate with me," the lawyer said.

Back at home, Anika and Lisa were looking for Jake. They searched the most ridiculous places, under all the beds in the house, bathrooms, washing machines, chairs, drawers, everywhere in the house until one place was left to check; the basement. On the way to the basement Anika saw something on the floor right in front of Isabella's room she bent down and picked it up.

"On my god, Miss Cuddles, she loved her why did she-"

"Who's Miss Cuddles?" Lisa asked.

"Isabella's favourite doll, I've never seen a child batter up her own childhood doll like this."

Looking at the doll, Anika felt a lot of pity for it. One eye had been forcefully removed and it's head detached from it's body.

"I can't believe this," Anika whispered to herself looking at the doll. She knocked on Isabella's door, there had to be a tangible reason why she did this.

Isabella came out smiling and glanced at both Anika and Lisa.

"Is there a problem?" She asked.

"I want to know why you had to do this to your doll," Anika said.

"I thought she wasn't necessary anymore."

"Isabella, if you thought she wasn't necessary anymore you should have given it to someone, not to batter it up like this, it's not nice, don't-"

"Well I've done it already sooo, sorry then," she smiled then closed her door.

Anika dropped it in astonishment then she and Lisa went into the basement.
