Tears I Cry

Chapter 6: Crossing a Fine Line

Barney woke up the next morning with a headache. She didn't know where she was for a minute there but then she remembered. She was in Sam's house, and her parents were dead. She couldn't believe what had happened that day. She was questioning it even now, even as she had seen her dead parents bodies lying on the bed. what terrified her the most though, was that she was the murder suspect, and that she was going to be put on death row in a week. Barney listlessly thought about the list of things that she noticed about the crime scene. She had no idea how to prove that she wasn't guilty. But she knew that she could do it.

"what are you doing there B?"

"Thinking Sam... just thinking."

" What are you thinking about?"

" The murder obviously."

A bunch of questions, thoughts, and other things floated through her head freely she looked around. she sought little blurry white things along the walls as she was looking around, and she realized that they were words!

" Sam, I'm starting to see these weird things... I think I see words!"

" Uhhh ... B didn't you already know how to see words?"

"No Sam, I see them in the air, I see every crack in the wall I see notes about your house, what things have happened there, I see everything, I see everything about you, all your details... everything."

"Uhh ... B, are you going crazy? Do I need to take you to a hospital?"

" my grandpa told me that something like this would happen," she mutters, " he just didn't say when, I didn't expect it to happen now... I was thinking that it would happen when I was 20 but it happened now, I'm just like him."

" huh? B what are you talking about?" He questions, " what grandpa?"

" forget I ever said anything to him, I was just seeing some weird squiggly lines in my eyes, or something. Let's just get back on the case."

"Anything for you B."

They both leave the apartment and head back to Barney's house.
"So Barney, why are we coming back here? Didn't we already look through all the evidence? What do we need to do here still?"

she just looks at him and show Shazam, she pulls out of tape recorder and starts recording her voice, saying everything she notices about the rest of the house (not just the bedroom), she notices that her kitchen was look through, her living room look through, almost every single bit of her house except for her bedroom was looked through.

she pulls out a little fingerprint scanner and she starts to shine it on everything in her house, everything that the thief / murderer could have touched she scanned. there wasn't any evidence so far she only had her parents bedroom left, she didn't know if the bloody handprint could be anything to get a fingerprint off of but she tried anyways, she didn't know what else to do except go back to one of the FBI labs that they let her use with someone watching her, and had one of the FBI workers scan the fingerprint in the FBI database to see if they can find any matches, there were 7. one of them of course was Barney herself.

"Of course my fingerprint was in there its my house I've touched that curtain millions of times..."

they scan through all of the rest of the people trying to find a match only three were women that fit all of the other characteristics that Barney identified. one of those people lived in her immediate area. The other one lives three miles away.

" I'm going to go after one of them Sam, you go after the other," she said " there is no way that either one of them is innocent. We can do it Sam, we just have to be safe and we can have some back up just to be sure."

" B, I'm just telling you this, I love you a lot, like a sister, that's probably the only reason why I'm doing this... I'm risking my life for you, and I just want you to remember that in case I die."

" Sam the only time that you're going to die, is if I kill you. So you're not going to die on me now, you will be fine, I promise."

Barney noticed the sadness, and scared look on Sam's face. She didn't know what else to do, so they both just went with the team of SWAT members and went to the places. Sam's house. He went to was easier, the woman was weak, and frail. But Barney on the other hand had the big beefy woman who had guns and knives in her house, she didn't know if she would make it out there, but she didn't care, she was going to avenge your parents and save herself, it may have sounded like a selfish thing to do, to save her own life, but she wasn't just doing it to save her life, she was doing it to save her family, her parents may have been dead, but they would always be alive in her heart. That may not have sound logical, but she knew it was true for herself. They brought the women back to the FBI where they were both questioned, neither of them were guilty, and Barney was running out of time before she was killed for the murder of her parents.
