She's The Winning Piece

Chapter 3: "She's the one but who are you?"

After they left, I ran out of my room and saw my dad and brother lying helplessly. There was no saving them.

I kneel between them both and place my hands on both of them, I cried and cried.

How did my life turn into this? A second ago, everything was fine but now, my dad and Philip are dead.

My mum just got kidnapped and there's not even an assurance that she's still alive.

The worst of all is Antonio, what the fudge did he just do? A minute ago, he was helping me stay safe.

Then, he watches them kill our brother, his brother and he kills our dad. What? Then, he helps them carry mum out. Is he well? Cause I don't think so.

I ran to my room now to call 911 and told them my brother and dad just died, I couldn't say anything more than that cause I bursted into tears.

"Jas baby. We got your confusing text" Sierra said as she and Katy hugged me.

"What happened Jas? Where's mum and Antonio?" Katy asked.

"As you can see, they're not here and what happened is that my dad and brother just died in my front" I cried.

"I understand what you fe.." Katy tried saying but I cut in. "Do you? You definitely don't. You've not lost your favourite people, can't find your mum all on one night. So don't say you understand cause you don't" I cried more.

Sierra hugged me. "It's okay girl. We're here for you forever and always" Sierra tried to comfort me as I lay on her chest.

"Um sorry to interrupt but which one of you is Jasmine Cornfield?" a tall man wearing a neatly ironed black suit with a paper in his hand asked.

"She's the one but who are you?" Katy questioned him, pointing at me. He moved nearer to where I was laid with my friends in the hospital.

"Okay hi girls. I'm Inspector Francis Wilson. I'm the investigator in charge of this case"

"I'm sorry for your loss but there are some questions you need to answer so this case moves faster and we can find your mum and brother but that is whenever you're ready" he informed us.

"Jas, do you want to talk to him now or later?" Katy asked me. I thought about it and he was right. The sooner I talk, the sooner they find my mum.

"It's okay. I'll talk to him" I say. "Okay. Si let's leave the room it's a case. We'll be outside Jas" Katy said and Sierra left with her.

"Okay so I'll need you to answer truthfully and be really narrative about what occurred this night. I'll start the recording, don't be scared. Let's start" he prepped me.

"Here in St. Michael Hospital is Inspector Francis Wilson and a victim of a case, Jasmine Cornfield. She's about to narrate what just happened to her. Jasmine?" he started recording.

I cleaned my tears, "Um.. today, the night of September 16th 2020, I and my family were about to go on a trip, more like relocate to New Zealand"

"I'm usually the last to prepare so I was still in my room when I heard glass shatter from the living downstairs"

"I peeped from my slightly opened door, and saw my parents and brothers on their knees with several men surrounding them, about 6"

"I was so scared but I thought it wise to not make any noise or sound so I just watched"

"They killed Philip first and I was so scared then they killed my dad. I badly wanted to scream but I held it in. They shot Antonio's knees and carried both him and my mum out"

"The hefty man who sounded like the boss asked my mum about me but they covered for me. Then, they dragged them out and that's when I ran out to call 911" I finished.

"Oh my lord. Sorry but did it look like a plan to you? Is your dad into any illegal thing that they want your family dead?" he asked.

"I don't know that mister" I roll my eyes. "Okay but do you know why they didn't kill Antonio? Because it's strange, your mum is quite understandable" he asks me again.

"Um sir. I just watched two people I love die and my mum and brother are gone, and you're asking me if I know why they didn't kill my brother?"

"I wouldn't even want them to kill him. Two people are enough. What the fudge? I'm done with answering you. Okay?" I freaked out cause I knew I was lying.

"Okay okay. Be calm, I'm sorry for asking such. I'll come back later to ask or tell you if something comes up"

"You can't go home too. Your house is being thoroughly investigated and you'll move into a safe house and th.." he was interrupted by a phone call.

"Hello? Yes it's the inspector... really?... I'll be right there" he says and bids me goodbye in a hurry.

Oh God please where could my mum be? Or Antonio, I need me some explanations to this madness.
