Aurora sat on the chair patiently as she waited for the detective to come in. As the door opened up, she looked up to see Drake and Imani staring at her.
"Damn...Drake, it's the same girl whose friend died in the alley."
"Yeah it is"
"She must be unlucky"
"Unlucky"
Drake and Imani had taken their seats across Aurora. Imani opened his notepad and looked at the girl.
"So tell me. How do you know Jean Gaels?"
"We were coworkers. She always helped me when I was in need and if I couldn't help a patient. She would do it for me"
Imani hummed as he continued to write the information down.
"Where were you around the time of the murder?"
"Well...She had dropped me off around 1:45ish. We got done with work at 1:15."
"This was in the morning?"
"Yes"
Imani hummed again as he continued to write down. Drake crossed his arms as he only listened.
"I also have something to say about this crime."
Both men looked up at Aurora. Aurora bit her lip before it started to tremble. Tears form in her eyes as she looks at them.
"This is my fault!"
"Eh?" Drake and Imani had said in unison.
"This is all my fault! I felt someone was following me to my workplace and..and-"
"Woah woah! Starting to ramble my dear!"
"Easy now, uh what's her name again?"
"Imani!"
"It's Aurora.."
"Okay, calm down Aurora. Take us to square one please"
Aurora sniffled. Drake handed her the tissue box. She grabbed a tissue and gently tapped away her tears.
"Ok...When I was finished with school, it was time for me to head to work."
"What time is that?"
"School ended around 1:30 PM. It takes me about 30 minutes to get my stuff switched out. My work didn't start until 4 sometimes 5."
"Okay. What happened next?"
"When I was walking to work, it felt like someone was watching me."
"Did you ever hear footsteps or turn back to look?"
"No. I was too scared to look back so I ran to my workplace."
"You ran?"
"Yes, when I reached my workplace. Mrs. Gaels was right there and I had told her that it felt like someone was following me."
"What else?"
"She said she was willing to give me a ride home"
"Give us a few minutes"
"Okay"
Imani and Drake stood up and exited the room. Closing the door behind them Drake turned to him.
"Drake."
"Imani."
"Do you think this Aurora chick is being targeted?"
"Maybe. We need to get a background check on her."
"If her friend was murdered and now a coworker. Do you think everyone around her is getting killed one by one?"
"It can be possible."
"So...she may be our main target."
"Do a background check on her, I am getting a call about Jean Gael's body."
Imani handed Drake the notepad before walking off, taking his phone call. Drake walked back in as he sat in Imani's chair. Aurora was fiddling with her fingers before looking up.
"Let's start with some formalities. I'm Drake."
"Aurora."
"Okay, Aurora! I have to get a background from you. So can you tell me your full name, date of birth, and where you are from? All that goodies"
"My name is Aurora Greenwood. I was born in California but came to Italy as an international student. I'm 21 years old. My mother is Amelia Rose Greenwood and my father is Ettore Greenwood."
"Ettore...wait Ettore Vic Greenwood?"
"Yes? That's my father's name"
"Oh...okay"
Drake wrote everything down before he abruptly stood up.
"Would you like some water?"
"Oh um yes please"
"Okay!"
Drake was quick to exit the room. Looking for Imani, he bumped right into him. Imani looked at his partner before sighing in defeat.
"It seems our killer was wearing gloves so there's no fingerprints but we got something better. They said they had found DNA on the fingernails of Jean Gaels."
"How great! Now it's my turn. Uhhh I think this might have to deal with some sort of vengeance or something."
"Ah, why do you say that?"
"Her father is Ettore Vic Greenwood!"
"Anddd who's that?"
"Ettore Vic Greenwood is a famous businessman! He's very big in America and other countries!"
"Sorry, never heard of him."
"Ugh! Just listen to me! What if Grant and his accomplice have something against Aurora's father? What if they're stalking Aurora to see if they could use her!?"
"That's two 'what if' but I don't know"
"We need to find more information on her father and figure out who could be her father's enemies."
"Ok. Well, let's tell her she's done for the day."
"Alright"
Drake walked back into the room and smiled.
"You are done for today. Thank you for coming in"
"Oh, you're welcome."
"Sorry, I forgot to get your water bottle"
"Oh no, it's okay."
"We'll call you if we need any more questions"
"Okay."
Drake shook Aurora's hand before holding the door for her. Aurora thanked him as she walked out of the room. She waved to Imani who waved back. Leaving the police station, her phone started to vibrate. Lifting her phone. Answering and putting it close to her ear.
"Hello?"
"Hello Aurora, This is Ha-eun's mother. Would you be able to come for a few minutes?"
Aurora smiles.
"Yeah...I can"
