I munch on my breakfast with my family. Dad is home. Yay. My brother steal my food, I glare and took it back. He looks at mom pointing at me. Mom gives me a quick glare. I grin. Seriously. I am not in the mood for the fight so I just give him my all food and start drinking my milk. My brother Shake his head in disbelief. He took food and put it on my plate, ordering me to complete my breakfast. I ignore him. my dad looks at me with concern. I give him a polite smile, not in the mood of having a big lecture from mom.

"Are you okay, grace? You seem down. "Asked my dad.

"Don't worry dad I am okay. "I reply to him.

"Okay then. "He replies not satisfied.

He must think that I will tell him if something is wrong. But how I can explain to him about the murderer. He will tell me to stay away from this shit. Oh god. I find the newspaper on the table. Taking it I open and start reading about Everlyn Rhodes.

'In the high school of south Xavier high, police find one girl on the ground unconscious. She was already taken to the hospital. Evelyn Rhodes is currently in a comma. Doctors confirm that she is brain dead. police give their statement and said she committed suicide. But as per everlyn's parents, they have a good relationship, there is no way for her to attempt suicide. Through police are still looking for clues to find about her suicide attempt .'

'Everlyn Rhodes committed suicide yesterday. '

'Everlyn Rhodes is found to be brain dead. '

I finish reading ignoring other stupid confirmation. She didn't commit suicide. Her family is rich. Her parents are successful business persons. Even they work for my mom so I know them very well, they are sweet and caring. That's is so stupid. Why would she attempt suicide? She doesn't look like, she killed herself because of her and dean's breakup. She is strong. This is wrong, everything is wrong. someone tried to murder her.

"Baby, what happened? "Ask my dad with concern.

"Everlyn was her friend . "says my mom.

"You can tell us anything, darling. "Assure my dad.

"Are you going to take this case? "I asked dad.

"No. But why you want me to take it? Besides this is a small case I will not get this mission. "Dad reply to me.

"But what is wrong with it. "Ask my mom taking concern about my behavior.

"I just want to tell you that everything is wrong. She didn't commit suicide. I examine everything. Someone tried to murder her. "I stood up showing frustration clearly to them.

"Don't get into this. "My mom sternly orders me.

"Are you sure? "Dad asks me.

"But honey-"mom start but dad stops her stops by keeping his index finger on his lips, signaling her to stop. My brother holds back his laughter after mom's reaction. I bite my lips to prevent myself from laughing.

"I want justice for Everlyn Rhode. "Dad replies to her and looks at me.

"Yeah, dad I am completely sure I even saw one Shadow on the building looking at the crowd. "I explain to him.
