"I've ruined everything..."

A shaky voice said from the corner of the room, pacing back and forth with hands crossed tightly across their chest.
Hair tangled and all over the place,round glass with one of the lens slightly cracked which means they were thrown across the room in rage. Gazing upon the messed up room,papers and books scattered all over the floor, ink spilt on letters,pictures of women and man and documents scattered across the table.

"Looked at what I've done"

He said leaning onto the wall slowly sliding down, Tear streaming down his face. Holding his head nearly pulling strands of black and grey hair. Feeling lost and hopeless he quickly get up wiping away his tears and fixing their glasses,walking to the desk picking up a half empty whiskey and pulling open the drawer and taking out a lighter. Throwing all the papers,documents,pictures and letters into the floor, taking a sip of the whiskey before dipping the rest of into onto the papers. Throwing the lit lighter onto the papers watching the flames overtake the papers and the pictures.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

Filled the empty rooms then silence, Then the loud thundering of a voice coming from the front door.

"Mr.McClain open the door we have a few questions to ask you"

The voice yelled from the front door all the way to the room Mr.McClain was standing in, He quickly stomped on the burnt papers trying to put out the flames. Finally the flames vanishes letting Mr.McClain let out a sigh of relief, quickly brushing his messy hair back and fixing his suit before walking downstairs. Opening the two giant doors staring into the face of two welly dressed men looking down at him.

"Good evening gentlemen, how may I help you?"

Mr.McClain said giving the men a calming smile moving aside to let the men in, The men looked at each other than back to Mr.McClain who was was walking into the dining area. The men then followed behind to see Mr.McClain walking out of the kitchen holding a tray with a calming smile on his face

"Come have a seat and enjoy some tea and biscuits i've made while we chat"
Mr.McClain said gesturing the men to sit down which they did, passing them cups. Mr.Mclain pouring the tea into the three cups be sitting down.

"Mr.Mc-"

"Vincent"

the man looked shocked yet confused "Pardon?" the man said looking at Mr.McClain who was putting his cup down looking at the man with a serious face

"No need for formalities dear sir just call me Vincent"

Vincent said pouring himself another cup of tea, The man nodded looking at he partner who was stuffing his face with biscuits and downing his tea. Rolling his eyes he looked back at Vincent who was sitting calmly awaiting his questioning.

"Well Mr.Vincent I'm Detective Marshall Burr and my partner here is Detective Nathaniel Smith and we're here to ask you a few question involving the disappearance of severe different individuals"

Detective Marshall said in a more serious tone, Vincent put his cup down and looked Marshall in the eyes going into his pocket and pulled out a napkin

"Disappearance....?"

Vincent said handing it to Detective Nathaniel who took the napkin quickly wiping his face trying to the red that was growing across his face.

"I see....,Frankly I wish I could give you more information if I knew those people truly"

Vincent said crossing his arms into the table looking the Detective Marshall then Detective Nathaniel who was taking a sip of his tea then going into his coat taking out a yellow folder and threw it across the table Vincent. Stopping the folder from falling off the table, opening the folder and looked into it Vincent froze looking that the faces of different women and men but picked up a picture that stood out to him the most, a face that he knew by heart. Vincent tried to grab the words caught in his throat

" Mr.Vincent do you know any of those people?"

Detective Nathaniel said trying not to sound suspects or loud, Vincent just nodded pushing the picture of a little girl with a big smile with her front tooth missing,short curly black hair and light brown skin. Detective Marshall looked at the photo before picking it up looking at Vincent who was looking down with the folder pushed to the side.

"And do you know this girl?"

Detective Marshall said Vincent nodded wiping away a tear before looking at the two detectives

"She was meant to be turning nine this years but...."

Vincent said he's voice cracking up with tears streaming down his face, pushing up his glasses to wipe away his tears. Detective Marshall looked at the photo than back at Vincent

"You said she was going to be nine this year that mean she was...." Detective Nathaniel stopped in his tracks piece two and two together
"She was your daughter..." Detective Marshall finished putting the photo onto the table.

Vincent nodded fixing his glasses looking at the two detectives

"I named her Bella when I found her"


Vincent said looking down playing with his thumbs, Avoiding eye contact but felt their gaze upon him. The room fell into silence as the three men sat there with no words or at least a sound to make.
