PART 17 
AMELIA AND LUKE 


Amelia’s point of view

After joining the law school, as promised Luke helped to trace the victims with the help of his uncle. We gathered every Sunday in the park just to dig through the fire accident. Allison is my friend apart from Luke. She is an orphan. So, she joined our mission. Allison has a heart everyone jealous of it. She expects nothing from us in return.

“You both are missing every Sunday, are you guys dating?” her frowned eyebrows point out to us standing in the hallway. 

“No, no”, “you got it wrong”, I have to clear the assumption, dating him would be a great idea, but if we broke up, I have no one, so we stayed whatever it is now. I want him as a lifeline. Not a hormonal teenage girl’s boyfriend. 

I turned around to see him. He is still in shock face. That made me laugh. I patted his shoulder. 
“We got a project”, he said with fingers in his head rubbing gently. 

“What kind of project”, Allison seemed not to give up. 

“mm” I began without knowing what to say as usual, “we are assisting a private detective” thank god it suits the situation. 

“We are not supposed to tell the details” I pressed my lips together nervously. She is thinking for a minute, then agreed. 

Luke and I said goodbye to her. 

“what the hell are you talking about,” Luke chuckled. 
“detective, assisting” I can’t control my laughter. 

“it came spontaneously”

“what we gonna do” 

“she is our friend, I think we should tell her” Luke got a point, she is our only friend with us till the end. 

“Okay call and tell her to come here,” I agreed with him. That’s when it started. our mission.
The revenge. 

I saw an article from Julian Collins about the accident; we arranged a meeting with him. Jake wrestler hired JV to kill the people, jake gave a part of share to the police officer to close the case. 

Then Zack King one of the shareholders who was admitted to the hospital at the time of the anniversary, jake wrestler made a deal with him too. His son is the director and became a producer later. 

Truth shattered our hearts. They killed and burnt just for the money. 

“Amy, I need to know how they live peacefully now,” Luke’s face is full of anger and disgust. 
We lost our parents and identity because of someone’s greed. 
The world is unfair. 

“Okay then we all agree to see them now”, I said and poured the wine into the third glass.
Our first person on the search is jake wrestler, it’s very easy to find than we expected. One, he is a entrepreneur and he has so many branches all over the country. Then I got to know about Marshall. I got back my last name. 

“Did you find the police officer’s address?” I asked Allison with messy hair who is searching the internet for half sandwich on her other hand, like I said before she is the kind person I ever know. 

My eyes looking out for Luke, nowhere in the dorm. I guess he went to Juliann Collins’s house. 

Allison switched on the printer, waiting for the papers she was working on.

“I got his address and Mr. king too,” I hugged her cheerfully. 
“you are the best” 

We starred at the sunset through the window, sitting on the couch holding a cup of coffee. This silence is for our cursed life. I heard the door opening sound as Luke came with a tugged-out shirt and file holding hands. 
We know it’s bad news. 

He threw the file and his bag on the bed. Joined for us.

“This case was closed again by another officer too,”, we looked at him, he continued “with the help of a private detective” 
“Who is the detective?” I asked. 

“Adam” 

“he is a friend of Zach’s son, so he helped” 

This injustice is bothered by no one. How selfish are they!

After 2 years,
 
Amelia’s point of view

Seeing me at my graduation is something like déjà vu. And importantly, I got the certificate in my name. 
AMELIA.

That got my day even brighter. 

I adjusted my lipstick and opened the front camera to capture this wonderful day. I cut the magazine and pinned it on the wall his face is full of success and everyone praised him, the great businessman JAKE WRESTLER. I traced them for years. Luke said he had a plan. 

We started a private detective agency; Allison got her literature degree, so she is our manager.

Luke is a reporter on a private channel.
We believe we can reveal the truth behind the dark. After running the company for 1 year, Luke started revenge. Of course, I am ready. We went through hard training for 6 months and became professional killers. Then our dreams start to haunt the same people who haunt us. 

At first, I need to find out Marshall Wrestler, I know she is suffering, who else would be happy to be the wife of Jake wrestler.
