He killed my child. My only child, my only daughter. Her name was Georgia. I'm her father, my name is Mister Robert Dowson. My wife died when Georgia was five. Since I had been with my daughter forever. She was so small in my big arms. Her blue eyes were perfect to her curly blond hair. She was a good student at school and college. She was dreaming to be a writer. She always wrote her stories in notebook. I remember her sitting on the sofa in the living room writing something with deep stern face while I was watching TV. She always asked me to give her books for birthday present. My poor child, I hear her voice, her laugh, her cry till and I will hear it till the rest of my life. 30 years passed by when I buried my child near my wife's grave. I kissed her cold forehead and my tears dropped on her dead face. 

One day Georgia and me were coming home back from school. She was sitting near me and we were singing Modern Talking "You're my heart, you're my soul". She was my heart and my soul. My only one motivation to live. 

"Dad, stop the car, please." - She had mellow voice. 

"What's the matter, my darling." - I smiled to her and tried to focus my eyes to that place. 

It was a high rock. When we came to the top we saw a steep cliff and deep crystal water. The weather was hot and my bumble bee (I called her because she drew bumble bees on her school copy books) decided to dive. She was brave like her mother. 

"Dad, can you high me up and throw to the water?" - She always used my height. I'm so tall man, I think, the tallest man in our district. 

"This height is not enough for you, I suppose." - My eyes became sly like a fox's ones. 

"You're right. How did you guess?" - And she burst of laughing. 

Since then, she dived every morning.

When she introduced Charley to me. I didn't like him from the first sight. He was skinny. His eyes were empty. His behaviour was extraordinary. My good girl Georgia found a bad guy like Charley. I didn't approve her choice, but I loved her so much, that's why I wasn't against their relation.

"Georgia, why he is so skinny like a Halloween skeleton?" - one day I wondered.
"It's just his complexion." - she shrugged her shoulders carelessly.

One day, I came home earlier as usual. I parked my car not far from our house. Our neighbour miss Johnson asked me to repair her kitchen tap. When I was looking for my tools in the trunk, I saw Charley coming out of our house. My daughter  looked happy, her eyes were looking at him with devotion, her hair was messy. Obviously, they were together like real adult man and woman. But I didn't want my Georgia to be with men so early, moreover, I didn't like him at all. She was miserable in front of him, he was rude and repressive. He drew her to kiss, it was so disrespectful. He grabbed her hair and drew her face to say something, it was so aggressive. Suddenly, he stretched the small bag with white powder and she hid it secretly.
