Chapter 18: Ashlyn

•2411 words•

"Hey, Myliey!" I shout.

I want to go and give her a hug but I don't know if I should. I know it wasn't her fault that she was made to shoot Kyron, but at the end of the day, she still did almost kill my boyfriend.

"Hey, Ash!" She screams back. Everyone goes running over to her to hug her, Jamie shouting, "Oh my god, I'm so sorry that happened to you Myliey! Loffy is a horrible man and I hope he goes to jail!" I agree with Jamie but don't say anything. He should go to jail. Especially if he's done this before! Also, he was supposedly involved in the KK crime, and I think that we're already half-way through solving that.
"Hey, Ash! Come on, group hug!" Brooke shouts me over. She really wants me to join in with the hug, but I can't. Kyron's not here. Yeah, he's coming out of hospital in just 3 days now (if his condition doesn't get worse) so I'll be able to hug him soon. But still, I don't like group hugs without him. I really want to hug him right now. I wish he was here. I miss him.

"Guys," Here Jamie goes with one of his long speeches, I bet, "Crofley's rang me before. We're going to Rufus' office in a few hours. He wants to tell us something about the KK crime. Someone else has been arrested!"
What? Oh, my god. I wonder who's been arrested! I really want to go to Rufus immediately but we're only going in a little while. I run to my bedroom to get changed. I'm so excited!

A few hours pass by, and now we're literally steps away from entering Rufus' office again. As I said before, I'm so excited! We're inches away from solving this crime completely. I walk in and take a deep breath. We've nearly solved this thing! I'm holding Brooke's hand. She looks at me and I turn my head to look back at her. We grin at one another and slowly let go of each other as we sit down. We then both look at Rufus and smile as he says, "Well then everybody, the crime is almost solved! Thank you for your efforts so far; the police have been very impressed with you. I wanted to tell you some very important news. Loffy has been arrested. They changed the court dates and he was arrested last night. He's been given the rest of his life in prison for child harassment, murder, assault, and multiple robberies! Someone else has been arrested too. Well done, Jamie! 'John' goes by the name of Adam Macken. He was found to have killed around 50 people in the SPV that night and has since been arrested. His friend who was in a gang with him was also found guilty. His name goes by Mark Co-Corvense? No, sorry- Corvanze. Mark Corvanze. He lives quite locally, actually. He was found to have killed-"

What?
"What?" Jamie screams.
"That's my dad! Does he live at number 18 Russo Drive?"
"Um- um, I-I don't know his address," Rufus replies, "But I'll try and find it out for you."
"Describe him," Jamie commands, sternly.
"Um, according to the documents, he has dark brown hair, an earring in one ear and has a long beard. Other information: duh duh duh is, um, smokes a lot and is a father of 2. Oh and here we are, address: 18 Russo Drive, Bridgewood."
"Tha-That's my dad!" Jamie screams, startled. "My dad's killed people! Oh my God, oh my God!"

What. In. The. World?
Hang on- my foster dad has killed people. Plenty of people. Maybe like, 50 people. Jamie's dad-

Jamie and I look at each other in doubt. We cannot believe what we've just heard. Jamie doesn't even know how to react- he doesn't really like his dad anyway, but yet his own father is in prison. Chances are, he's never coming out of it either. Wow. This is incredible. Unbelievable. Literally unbelievable. We can't believe this. Jamie stands up and leaves the room, Brooke hugging him as he leaves; Rufus mouthing 'I'm sorry.' My jaw is practically hanging low enough to touch my chest, and my palms are starting to feel like I've just dipped them in a pool of water; drenching in sweat. I was only with that family for a couple of months and I never liked any of them anyway, but I feel so uneasy. See! What did I say? Ashlyn, I told you there was something that just wasn't right about that family! I knew it! I'm not so stupid after all.
