" I dont know anything but I have a very strong feelings that Veronica is alive.

" I think, you said , you did something digging” ?

" Yeah ! I found a girl Jenny Cross that went missing about  a week ago in Meyers Park. Her mother came in for an f.I.R.  She woke up in the morning and went missing. Her scooty was missing too”.

” Was her boyfriend  name Jimmie ”? I enquired.

" James Mason ".  he says.

" Do you still think I am making it up”

" I dont know what to believe and what to say. I feel it insanely insane

"Jack she is alive and you only the one who could help me".

He gives me one of those deep probing looks, I have only ever read about.  Its kinda look that straight pierces your heart or you can say more in define words that looks will rip off the heart out.

" This fellow seems so much nonsense to me. Literally he is trying to communicate with my soul through telepathy .  He needs a mental doctor fix his brain ”.. huh...” I looked back him into his eyes in  more confident  manner. “ duh ! I dont think you can make me nervous.  Instead I am feeling more nervous. I am resolved than ever  man. I know this fellow has less brain and less common sense, whenever I had met him I always found him jerk , but still I need him more. I know he is the merely one who could help me to slove  Veronica case, No matter he believes me or not. He has  to accept things, I don't, rookie he might be, but he can use the police sources available to him and not me. 

I have a question for you, if you don't mind can I ask you Maddy?

" Yeah! Why not, please.. I said in more general manner.

" Why did you throw such a fit over finding Veronica ? In Mrs. Henry's statment, she said you guys weren't that close. You barely knew her but here in front of me you are claiming she is your best friend and you known her for so long like  siblings, And now you are claiming very weirdo thing, that you speak to her ghost"  he raised his one brow up.

" I don't know what you'd understand. What I believe you have your own parents and you grew up in lavish house and having lavish life since you opened your eyes in this curel world, May I am right?" I don't know, I am not feeling so much sensitive but there were some pain was there that pocked me so hard right in my heart.

He just nods.

We don't. We are orphanage kids. And we don't expect just things even though we can not dreamt off. Mostly the foster parents, parents are just about the cheque they get every month. We aren't important for them, like regular kids gets in theirs lives. We are  means to an end for them. So this is the reason we all orphanage kids are so close to each other. If we don't take care of each other's, then no one else  will. Yeah! that's right me and Veronica ain't so much close to each other everytime but we both had great connection and I call that humanity connection".

I take of my shoe and handed to him. " Can you see the marks there on the bottom? Each one represents a home we have been in. All of us do it, it's an old tradition. It binds us together, something we can share and relate to. Veronica had five marks. She lived in few foster houses before coming in here, her experiences in those foster houses were very horrifying.

I proceed more futher....

“ I would not say Mrs. Henry  is bad actually she takes interest in each foster kids and take personal care of them. Veronica liked it here. I dont want anyone thinking she was just  an other statistics, another runaway。 I dont want this runaway label stay with her forever. She is not a foster kid for me, she is more than that. She's been always be a family. I don't know you can understand this or not".

Jack interrupted me in mainwhile.  

“ More than you Maddy Me and my elder brother  Cameron and I are adopted . Our parents found him in  boys orphanage.  They needed a baby boy. They were living non parents lives before us coming in thier lives.  He was just ten years old when they found him as their son. They adopted my few years later. I knew this while growing up I am an adopted child in this family but this never bothered me ever. My elder brother past live was disaster, He never spoke much about his past. But sometimes he gets this look on his face when he watches something on TV or just sees something that sparks a memory.  He is not living with us anymore. He's having a family now. But still he  remembers.  I think it was hard on him  back then and its not something he can shake”.
So I can understand what you are going through Maddy”.

“ How about that?,  I dont know if you can ever shake it off, I tell him very softly . Growing up alone in life and knowing no one loves you  and care about you is something is very hard to imagine”

“I am sorry Maddy ”

“No worries Officer Jack I am absolutely fine, lets get back to Veronica, at the moment she is the first priority in my life. She deserve justice and I think she is been murdered by a serial killer. 

“Serial Killer”?Jack alarmed little.

He sounds skeptical . I dont want to blame anyone for anything. I think I should tell him about everything since my midnite party to Mary and the bathroom kid.

“ A ghost put up in the hospital”?

“ Hey ! dont look at me with those eyes I am as shocked as you. How I suppose to know they could hurt me”?

“ Because you are a ghost girl and you should know about their actions”?he smiled

“ Yes, you are right you talking to a girl who have been pretending since last 10 years these shadows don't exist. Do you know how does it feels living your each secs with dead people. I know zilch about ghosts except they are creepy little burgers that have a nasty habit scaring the bejeezus out of you when you least accept it”.

”Maddy sometimes you sound too weirdo” he had blunt expressions on his face.

I didn't do much except giving him my best smartass smirk.

“I can not be normal. I find normal things too boring. I love to be weirdo and don't forget weirdos are unique and they have special qualities in them”.
