Lucy - the ghost that haunts the day

Day 6

The shining sun comes up again and it's rays, hitting directly on Justin's face, accompanied by a knocking on the cell doors wakes up the man having his peacefully nap. He wakes up.

"Get out of here, some lawyer came and talked to the general, your free to go" the officer knocking said.

"What? I don't have any lawyer" Justin said, while getting out of the cell.

He went to the general.

"Your lucky, who would have guessed you had a lawyer, now go on, but trust me, I will get a solid evidence that you are involved and you will be caught" the general informed.

"Who was the lawyer who came here? Do you have anything about him?" Justin questioned.

"Nope, I don't know anything about him, now get out, I can't stand looking at you" the general told him with anger.

"Fine" he checks his pockets for the paper with the address of the amusement park, and the phone he got. But he couldn't find it. "Sir, did you take a piece of paper, and my mobile phone, I had in my pocket?" Justin asked politely.

"No, I don't want any of your stuff, ask Mrs. Jesse, she was the one who checked all your stuff" the general informed.

"Jesse?" Justin questioned with wonder and he rushed out to find her.
He searched many places including her house but still no trace of her. He had to go all his way back to home to get the location of lulu's cruelty.

After reaching home he got a call from Jesse. "Where did you go? I was looking for you everywhere, I got you phone and that slip of paper"she said.

"Where are you? even I was searching for you" Justin replied.

"I'm here in my house, I went a bit to check the place for you but after reaching half way I though it would be better if I brought you along, but don't blame me if you get caught again by general" Jesse stated.

"Oh, wait there I'll come to your house now" Justin replied with excitement.

He cut the phone and without thinking anything, Justin ran towards Jesse's house.

He reached and rang Jesse's door bell. She took a bit of time and opened the door. "Lets go" Jesse said.

They started there journey and on the way she gave back the phone she got. "Oh thank you" Justin said. He checked the contacts including the previous calls. The contacts only had calls that came and went about 12 hours before the death. He was sad that he didn't get anything he expected.

"Now tell me, why did you have a prime evidence from the crime scene last night?" Jesse questioned.

"What do you mean?" Justin asked with a bit hesitation.

"That phone, it belonged to the person that was covered in blood last night. Why do you have it?" Jesse questioned.

"But how did you?" Justin couldn't complete his question.

"I am a cop, and it was not at all hard for me to find out who the phone belonged to, if I tell this to the general, then he has full authority to sent you to prison" she said with anger and a small tone of blackmail.

"Look please, Jesse, I had to do it, we are not sure if there is a cop who is helping this Lucy character, and if so then he will destroy such a clue, thats why I..." He was interrupted.

"That's not an excuse, I'm sorry Justin but you have gone too far now" she said while taking a few steps back.

"What?" Justin asked. Then cops came from here and there screaming "freeze, put your hands in the air".

"No, you tricked me, how could you Jesse?" Justin asks as he was being hand cuffed and dragged into the police car.

The general came and told him "see, I told you I'll get you, let's see you escape from this" he walks away and Justin is taken to prison.

On the way he thinks about any way he could escape. He reaches a foresty area and the car slows a bit, there he gets his opportunity, he kicked the door wide open, jumps out and rolls into the woods. The cops follow him, he runs as fast as he can. Due to the jump he was injured yet he kept running until he lost the cops. Still he kept getting as far away from the road as possible. Then he saw some light coming from the woods, to him it was a light of hope, he moved towards it and saw an old shack. He told himself that, it would be his place to stay the night. He goes inside and tries to find some water, he finds some in a bowl on a table. He drinks it and treats his wounds from the fall. Then he checks if anyone is there "hello? Anyone here?" He didn't get any reply. He sits down and starts to think about all the things that has happened and tries to find any connections. That's when he heard the sound of someone approaching him from behind. He turns around and sees an old man pointing a shot gun at him. He got scared.

"Stay where you are, now speak, who are you and what are you doing here?" The old man asks.

"My name is Justin, and I just came here in search of a shelter, I fell down in the forest and lost my way, can I please stay here for the night, I promise I won't cause any trouble" Justin replied.

"Hmmm, you seem like a pretty nice guy, but still there is something fishy about you, fine I'll let you stay here for one night, by tomorrow morning you should be out of here" the old man told him and he left the shack.

"Thank you so much, sir" Justin found a corner and rested his head on a small engine of some bike, it wasn't very comfortable but he was glad to find somewhere to stay. He took a final look outside at the sky and shut his eyes to rest after a tiresome day.
