Broken bond

The calm before the storm

Chapter 6

Many things are happening, days past, and the attack didn't stop. Detective Daniel has been in my case for more than 5 months, but still nothing. It seems impossible; it's felt like it's a ghost that's after me. With all the attacks going on, I started working from home. So Detective Daniel usually comes home. With time, I got used to seeing him around.

Dialogue between Sarah and Daniel

Sarah: So what brought you in today?

Daniel: Nothing, just checking if you all are doing great.

Sarah: Well, guess... I've been home for days now. I can't step out because someone out there is after my life. And the detective that is supposed to help is here ; checking up on me. Like I asked you to. What I want you to do is get those fools.

Daniel: Yo, yo, yo , calm down. I do understand you and where you are coming from. But I won't let you speak to me like that. Do you get that? I am doing my best in this case. If your tired, you can just try to do my job.

Dorcas stepped into the living room while I was in the open kitchen.

Dorcas: Yeah, sis, you should calm down; he's trying his best.

Then came a loud noise coming from a construction site. The noise was so loud that it shocked me. I had a knife on my hand. I lost all control of my body, I throw the knife on my hand, from the kitchen to the living room. If not for Daniel's intervention, Dorcas could've been left with only one eye.

I was shocked , I lost control of my muscle again. But this time it was totally different; it felt more like a reflex.

Daniel: SARAH!! Are you crazy? Have you lost your mind? You almost killed your sister. You know that I can arrest you for attempting murder.

Dorcas: No detective, you really don't have to; she's going through a lot, you know. Please understand her this once.

Daniel: Now tell me what will happen to my hand, huh?

I went to him, held his hand, and pulled the knife out of his hand. Looked at him and said sorry, then left. Dorcas rushed for the first aid kit and told him to go to the hospital, because the wounds were very deep. He left looking at me like I was a monster.

Days later

Days passed, and Daniel didn't even once came to check on me. So I went to his office. It was full of cops, thugs, and people. He asked me why I came with no appointments. I told him I came to pay for my wrongdoing.

Daniel: So you came to excuse yourself.

Sarah: No, I am here to pay fines for what I did the other day.

He told me that there was no charge against me, so I should leave his office. But I told him that I didn't want to. I wanted to stay with him. He told me to stop with my foolishness. But I was very serious. I insisted so much that he kept me in a cell. I stayed there until Mario came for me. While in the cell, we talked for a long time. We started getting along in someway, and we got kind of close. With him, my life felt close to normal.

He once forced me to go to the hospital, and I had no other choice than to agree . The doctor said it was all due to trauma that I had to see a psychiatrist. Do I look mad at him? I obviously refused. I am not mentally ill... I am just dealing with memory loss right now, and that's all. Daniel did his best to convince me, but he failed too.

However, there was no attack, no gunshots, and it has been days since I lost control of my body. It's really weird, I know. Mario and Daniel find it weird as well; they are always on their guards. All I want is to enjoy this moment of peace, hoping it never ends. They never seemed to get along, but when it comes to annoy me, they magically speak the same language 😒.
