Hospital and cops reminds me the worst of my life. Well these cops are in casual clothes but still their way of speaking indicates that these are cops. The older officer is quite rough but he knew his job well. Before I had saw them into their copish clothes but that time I was feeling little uneasy. Today they aren't seems that tough. What they are upto? My eyes darted on the bag which they were carried in their hands. My mouth watering which distracts me. I am starving. I eyed his Starbuck cups with little envy. I can not effort these expensive things, I am feeling litte drained, but their caramel macchiato is my secret passion. It makes my taste buds understand the word lust. Oh my gosh, I can not listen this again if he is going to say these words again then surely I am going to strangulate him with these wires.

Mrs. Henry entered in right behind him. she was looking little worried. As startled as I am seeing the Officer. I wasn't expecting her, I am quite shocked seeing her in here. She was wearing the same dress what she was wearing last night. Questions are started popping up in my mind. I could not stop myself , questions stubbled out of my mouth. "Did you stay in here last night?

" Of course Maddy I was in here just right out side of your door" She gave me tired reply. " You were sick and you needed me very badly. I can not leave you alone by yourself dear.

I was so much touched by her gesture and words. No one had done this for me. I am feeling so much overwhelmed. Mrs. Henry spent her all night out side of my room because she thought I needed her. Right now I am feeling so bad, I had yelled on her. " I am so sorry I didn't believed you when you spoke about Veronica. " Mrs. Henry sighed heavily. "I am sorry too, I should have listen to you"

" Well duh, still I am feeling so happy whatever she has done for me. I can not forget her obligation. Still there were some doubts are floating in my head. But I don't want to let my smartness come out, so I kept my mouth shut.

"I am sorry to I should not have accused you being a bad parent" I apologized.
A smile breaks out on her face. Few hair were fallen on her forehead she smoothes away from her forehead.
"It's okay Maddy, I knew you were just worried for her. I can understand. I forgive you. Now I have to call and check on each kids" she turned towards the officer, the warning clearing plastered on her face. " Do not upset her". He nodded and sat on the same seat on which he had sat on last night. So eventually my breakfast arrived. My eyes drooped as I see boiled eggs and toasts tray. The merely salvageable items is the orange juice. I gave him nasty look as he bites onto his creamy pastry. My stomach growls and I scowled. He laughed at me and take sip of from the Starbucks coffee cup.

" What's wrong with you, did you decided torture me today? I snarl, eyeing his goodies with server envy. He has just to say a word. ". What he doing here anyway?

"Possibly"

He says as the dead pan. How do cops do that? Devloped voice with no emotion? This is worng, this sounds more evil and mean.

" Look if you going to behave like this with me then I think I am not keen to answer your any of questions. Better you march out of my room, right now"

" I thought you like to know what is going on in Veronica case"

Well that is the one thing guaranteed to make me zip tow on my notoriously smart mouth. I want to know what's going on with Veronica case. Our eyes didn't met and my small spark of hope plummets. They weren't going to look for her, not really.

"Runaway, right? I ask sourly. "She in another runaway orphan kid she could not appreciate what she had"

He sighs heavily it's odd this sighs coming from him, its weirdo at his age no one knows how to make out this kind of sound.

"Yeah, he nods that the official report. Your friend has a history of run away from her orphanage. He has done this multiple times. Now you tell me, how are you so sure, she's been killed?

"Oh, well! then I should thankful to you, you came to conclusion without any investigation. Thank you so much giving your precious time" I told in sarcasm.

He cleared his throat before speaking further. " you said last night.. "

" Sorry I don't remember what did I said last night" I cutted him off. Literally he spolied my mood. I don't know how can anyone come up to conclusion without knowing the fact. No way I don't need let him ask me any of question that make me look crazier as I looked before. " The joy of drugs, you know. One shot and it will take you to the heaven. At least I hope it was drugs that made my lips loose. " You said she was shot" he continues stubbornly.

" Did I?......... I don't remember anything like that I told you.

" I want to know why did you said that Maddy, what was the reason behind those words?"....He is looking me like very sharply. He thinks his this look will force me either make me scared spill out all the fact but he doesn't know me very well. I am very stubborn person none eyes can make me scare from lying. His acts forcing me to cross my limits. I love to break all the limits duh.

"No clue"........

" Alright since you have know clue then I believe I have to put this case into foster kid runaway. This happens everyday. Maddy I think I am done with the investigation. This case is closed. He stood up from the chair and gathered his belongings.
