The Secret

Eve

CHAPTER 17

"Amelia Hall?" I said, O lord this should be fun....not

"Yes, I started looking into Celeste phone history from right around the time that you came back. Two weeks after you came back Amelia added Celeste on Facebook and that's where it all started." Malikai told me.

"Do you think she would make it that obvious that she and Celeste are such friends? She wouldn't do that."

"That's because if I don't notice that it is gone I won't look for it." He told me and I don't even get his point

"And your point is?"

"If she doesn't think we would catch up on her she will not hide in the dark."

"That's better, now where do we go from here?" I asked

We have been out here for a whole month and I miss my kids like crazy. I am worried that something might happen to them but Malikai keep telling me not to say or think like that, because whatever I think and say will happen because the and tongue is a powerful thing and if you keep saying bad things then bad things will happen. 

This is the first time I ever leave them and for so long. Now the reaction I got from Malikai when he found out about baby number 3 was thankfully positive. He's been a major support through all this and I am very appreciative about it. All I need to do is just get out of here and go back home.

"We can't just show up like nothing never happen and I say Amelia Hall is behind all this. We have to bring evidence." He said sternly

"And how are we going to do that?" I asked

"We need to find evidence of the truth about the evidence they have against you." He answered

"You really had to say evidence twice in one sentence?" I asked seriously

"What's wrong with that?" He questioned

"Why do it? It's just annoying." I told him

"Okay." he shrugged

Since he was laying down and the floor and I was in couch that gives me a clear shot to send something to his head. The closest thing was a pillow, I threw the pillow and it collide with his head beautifully.

"Good." I remarked

"You shouldn't have done that." he said and while getting up

Even though I am sore down there I took that as my cue and started to run. I can hear his long legs behind me and I run as fast as my foot could take me. I scream in between my laughter and he just laugh at me. After about five and a half minutes of running around the house I gave up. I am too tired right now, I ran back to the living room and just drop on the chair. That was good exercise, that's the most fun I had since I got here exclude the love making. He came and stand in front of me and smiled

"Now tell me why I shouldn't do what I please with you right now?" He asked

"Because after seven long years I forgot how tired you can get while pregnant andddd it really hurts down there" He then erupted in a fit of laughter and I threw another pillow at his head

"Stop that!" I said sternly

"Wasn't it one of those same pillows what got you in trouble a while ago?" He asked and was now moving towards me

As he reached me the notification noise went off on his computer. He immediately turned around, he started typing on his computer and the way he was glowing let me know that he had good news. And that's just what I need right now. He looked at me and smile and it was confirm that it was good news.

"What?" I said eagerly

"I started looking for footage on how she got your hair and I went the easy way and said she got it from the house, which she did." 

"How did you figure it out, that's a long shot?" I said to him

"I know it is, that's why I start thinking out of the box. I started asking myself questions and one question that got my attention was where you were when she went into the house? Since I am your boss...sort of, I always know where you are. So I started to run the alarm system at home to see which day the code was inserted while you were at work-" I cut him off before he could finish"

"Nobody besides you and I know the code for the alarm system." I said

"I know and that's why I look in the system for an encrypt code and I found it. Now I am going to check the hidden cameras and pull the footage of her going in our house." He said and then something damn on me

"What if she paid someone to do it for her?" I asked

"I thought the same thing and then I remember that all the dirty work that Cole had someone do for him everyone confess without protest and she can't risk that so she's going to want to get this done as quick and clean as possible." He said while going through his computer.

I didn't say nothing after that, I just sat there thinking. Sometimes we think things are going to be difficult and we take the hard road and come up empty, and when we do the easy thing that we know, we find all the answers we've been looking for. Life and its games.

"Jackpot!" He said and break me out of my world

"What?" I asked

"We got her." He said

"Show me." I told him

He turned the computer and a video of
Amelia putting in the code was playing. We have a nice Vincent van Gogh painting above the alarm system and there's a hidden camera in it. Since that is there we have a clear picture of Amelia. He showed me another footage of her living my room with a little see through sample bag, so it is clear to the human eyes that it's a hair sample that is in it. I watch until she exit my house and I kept playing the song 'I'm coming home' in my head. 

After that he said he's going to show me the footage of me at Celeste's house and because I never saw it, I can't really say when it was. I have to tell him when that day was.

"This is it." He showed me the video and I remember it as if it was just yesterday. Celeste and I was planning a getaway, even though I was still not a fan of her we were getting there.

"That's you walking into her building, when was this?" he asked

"Last month."

"Now how do we do this part?" he asked confused

"GPS."

"What does that have to do with anything?"

"My phone is traceable because of my job and Sudan has GPS logs and everyone in our department, if she checked the logs my phone would say it was at home when Celeste died. In that footage of me going inside her house I am caring my phone in my hand." 

"Clever. We just solved yet another case"

"Please tell me I can go packing." I told him in a pleading voice

"You cannot go packing." He said and my eyes widen

"Why not?" I asked getting teary

"I am just kidding, hurry up."

I didn't need to be told twice I headed for my room and started packing for both if us. All I need is his other computer and my purse the rest can always stay here. 'cause I am planning on another trip this time with the kids and I can stop hiding and enjoy myself. Hopefully before I start showing. Even though that won't stop me. I headed downstairs and he was already packed up, I took his hand and he led me to the car. He opened the door for me and I got in, he walked around open the car door and sped of back to New York City.
