22. The case

M I A

Uncle sat in front of me for a single syllable to leave my mouth but I couldn't manage to form anything. Even a small word formed, it would fade away on my tongue.

You gotta do this Mia, this is what you have been trying for years

I finally managed to let it all escape out my mouth and a sigh left instantly. My Uncle nodded but it felt like there was something he didn't wanted me to show. Maybe he is tired of me nagging about this repeatedly. But I just can't let it all go away like this, not at least when I still don't know the truth.

" But you need to promise me that this is the last time, if we fail again we will not talk about this again" Uncle completed with a strict yet soft smile

I nodded my head in desperation, and with all enthusiasm I knew that I had to do it this time. It's now or never.

" So any intels you got with yourself? " my uncle asked me and I was hella ready with some fucking information of course.

" From the last time, we only knew that she was murdered in the attic at 3:30 pm, when dad was outside in the market but he was found in the street cameras that he was back at 3:40 pm and there's a chance that the one who was outside was just a clone, the real Mr. Bender was in the house as the doer in the scene. This is what the police states which doesn't really satisfies me. Because the person who I saw was not with a figure of dad. I couldn't really see his face but he had a huge scar in his right hand.

From my point of view, the way she was murdered it seems as if the murderer had a personal grudge on her and his crime was the catharsis of his hatred. So he must be someone close to her who she knew well and had connections with. But the fact that we can't take his footsteps or even a fingerprint is because he was dressed with covers on his shoes and even his hands. But there was a watch on his hand. And I really want you to find that watch Uncle, it must be with the Forensic or the cops. So please, can ya bring some of the evidences to me? "

I completed explicating about what I had on my mind about the case and surprise would be an understatement which was on printed on Uncle's face. If someone thinks that I am not obsessed with finding out what happened that afternoon, they are the most idiotic beings in this world. And I will never be on peace until I find this out. Till death.

" Well, I will comply you with the help of what you said. I will call you once I get an ounce of anything. Till then live happy sweetheart. Remember I am always with you. " with a kiss on my forehead he left and I really was relieved.

Living happy was not something I could do right now, specially after what happened yesterday but I could rest well now.

I picked up my keys and headed towards my car. Suddenly I realised that I didn't see my friends since last night. I took a turn and bounded for Lucy's office.

I stopped my car in front of the huge building and the paparazzi surrounded me. The guards outside covered for me and I reached inside.

The delicacy of her charming white walls got me into the vibe. Her office resembled her personality a lot and it would be a lie to say if working here is not fun. Well the staff's glad and vibrant faces tells it all.

I went to receptionist and she recognised me at once.

"Good afternoon Ms.Bender " she greeted me with a sweet smile
