We grunted as we pushed the body inside the hole and than sat down while breathing heavily , there was no noise just our uneven  breathing and the night animal's.  I looked at my sister whose face was covered in her eyeliner due to her crying , after taking a breath I stood up and took my shovel and started closing the hole while my sister sat there looking at a blank space . I didn't say anything if it was different circumstances I would be complaining but now it is not the time for that , I would really appreciate it if she stood up and help me because the sun will rise while we haven't covered our tracks after all this is her mess.

I stopped a little to take a deep breath I am not used to these kinds of stuff , I'm used to sitting in my office or chasing after bad guys with my partner.  It is so ironic to think that now I have committed a crime with my darling sister while I am a detective who was about to be promoted, I might have not done the crime with my hands but all I know is that if we get caught we are going down together  . But I can't afford that already she is broken what will happen if she goes to prison she might die,  I can't let that happen not on my watch .

" What if we get caught?" She ask lowly from where is she is seated , I look at her and her white dress all stained in blood and mud .

" That won't happen , I won't let it happen . " I say trying to sound so sure about what I am saying .

" You are a police Nthabiseng,  you know that all crimes get solved one day even after 100 years . " She says this turning her gaze at me

" Even if we get caught I won't let you go to jail,  I can't let that happen to you let's just finish this off than go home " I say as I am about to resume to what I was doing .

" What do you mean you won't let me go to jail ?" I sigh

" I don't know we will see " I say

" you are not planning on taking the fall are you ,God Nthabiseng you have kids to look after them " she says and I throw the shovel away as I feel anger boiling up inside of me .

" What do you want me to do, you killed a fucken person you won't be healing from that for only God knows how long you can't even kill a fucken  rat and not feel guilty about it for the whole day . Now tell me what jail will do to you " She bites her lips as tears stream down her face .

" You have kids " She says lowly , I crouch infront of her and hold her face making her to look at me .

" If it does happen that we get caught I am the one who did this you don't know anything you weren't here okey , if I go to jail you will take care of my kids and not say a word about this . I am willing to sacrifice my life for you  Promise me you will do that ."

" I can't just take your life away , you have kids Nthabiseng " She says while cry

" I trust that they will be in God hands with you, Promise me that you will take care of them if it happens that I go away"

" I Promise " She says while hesitating

" You do?"

" I do " I nod my head and wipe my own tears

" Let's finish off here before the sun rises , we don't want that" she nodded and than we stood up and started closing the grave , let's hope we won't get caught.
