The murder

Chapter : 12

" Oh my god. " Ben is the first who speaks .
I wipe the tears .
" Oh my god. " I repeat , only not with such shock , because someway or another , I had a doubt it might be dad . But I didn't know dad would do it.
Ben keeps an arm around me.
" I need to find out if this is the truth. "
Ben sighs .
I turn my head to my side to look at him .
I place my hand on his jaw .
" I know all of this is complicated . It is complicated for me too . And-and I don't want to do this but I have to . I cannot let those questions stay inside me like they are an important body organ of mine . I promise that when all of this is sorted out , I will make this relationship official . Tell everyone about it . Okay ? "
He looks at me , his green eyes twinkling , and half smiles .
" Okay . "
I smile too , and give him a brief kiss .

Investigation place #2

- Where Uncle Fred hangs out .

.
" Where are we going ? " Ben asks as we sit in my Ferrari .
" You'll need to wear your seatbelt . And we are going to the place Uncle Fred hangs out . "
" W-what ? " He asks , almost scared .
" Yeah . And don't be scared princess . I'm here for you . " I say , smirking .
He rolls his eyes playfully , smiling .
" Do u even know where it is ? "
I turn to my side to look at him .
" Hell . " I say and start driving as fast as I can .

.

I realise I wore the wrong clothes to come here .
Wearing a short dress wasn't a good idea at all .
There are guys about my age and older smoking and drinking and playing cards of money everywhere .
They keep staring at me as I try to walk confidently .
" Um... Are u sure we should be here ? " Ben says quietly from behind , poking my arm .
" Oh quit out of it ! " I whisper-shout , pulling him beside me .
He Doesn't say anything else and I feel a little guilty .
A guy about my age on a bike whistles and honks .
I roll my eyes and turn to show him the middle finger .
The other guys howl .
Jerks !

.
" Someone is here to meet u . " A girl wearing nothing but an explosive bikini says a man - possibly Uncle Fred , but his back is shown to us as he sits comfortably on his chair , his legs on the table , smoking , and a beer glass on the table .
I look around and see disgusting pictures .
Ben clutches my hand and squeezes it .
I squeeze it back .
The man turns around .
It's Uncle Fred .
Uncle Fred is actually a very very handsome man , but because of his dirty habits , his eyes have now welled up , and he looks old .
He narrows his eyes when he looks at me .
" Who is this sexy girl? " He says , looking at Ben .
Ben looks as if he might kill Uncle Fred .
I make a disgusted face .
" Im your brothers daughter . " I say .
His eyes widen .
" Miranda ? " He says , a hint of joy In his voice .
I shake my head.
Idiot man .
" Jennifer . " I say.
His eyes widen even more .
He smiles and finally gets up , opening his arms wide .
I would hug him if he wouldn't smell like rotten meat .
" No thank u . " I say .
He awkwardly puts his hands on his sides .
" And this young man is ? " He says , pointing at Ben .
" He's Ben , my boyfriend . " I say .
Ben snaps his head to me and smiles wide .
I smile back but turn away quickly to face Uncle Fred .
He just smirks .
" So , u came here to join us , eh ? Fed up of the world , little girl ? "
I feel like shooting him . But I just snort and say , " 1. I'm very , very happy with the world . And 2. I'm not a little girl . I'm 18 . "
He smiles .
" As u say , Julia . "
" It's Jennifer . "
" Sorry . Jennifer . " And he gestures to sit down on the chair .
Just when I was about to sit down , Ben nearly shouts , " It has gum on it ! "
I jump up and see the most disgusting thing ever . I feel like vomiting .
" Ignore it. " Uncle Fred says .
I shake my head furiously and lean onto the only clear wall , folding my arms .
" So um.. I had a few questions . "
He raises an eyebrow .
I clear my throat .
" Um.. Did .. By any chance ... Um... Dad ... U know ....... Work.. Work with .. You ? "
He has a poker face on .
" Huh ? " He says .
" Did dad work with you ? " I say , more clearly this time .
He looks at me curiously .
" How did u know ? "
So he did. " It Doesn't matter how i did . But did he ? "
He nods , and a part of me breaks . I knew it would be a yes but I wanted it to be a no .
I swallow the tears .
" And did he earn money by.... wrong means ? "
He looks at me , eyes raised , eyes wide. " Yes . "
Glancing at Ben , he has his hand over his mouth , eyes wide with shock .
I gulp .
" And did u know he has not died . "
He gasps .
" How did u - God leave it . Someday u had to know . Yes . Yes I did know . " He says .
Anger boils inside me.
I slam the table and he jumps on his chair .
" And u never thought about saying me ?! " I shout .
He looks frightened .
" We- we had a deal . " He says .
" What deal ?! " I shout.
" Ur dad - he played this game of money with Anna , the hot girl in the  bikini . He betted that Australia will win against India . But India won and he lost a lot of money . He decided to run away , and wanted my help . So I said him to run away . Now he possibly couldn't do that . Because he loved you and ur hot mother a lot . God , ur mom is so hot . Anyways , ur mom begged him not to leave . And so we decided to make a plan . To murder someone and make him look like he was ur dad . Now there's only one person who knew about us doing this - what u call a 'dirty' thing . And he was the only 'good' and 'kind' and successful brother amongst us all . Ur dad and I hated him . And so we decided to let it be him . Ur mother though was against this idea as her sister , Lucy , who isn't half as hot as her , was married to Kyle . She would become a widow . But then we thought the same would happen with her as well and she wouldn't like it if Lucy will have a husband and she wouldn't . And as Ruby , my ex-wife left me with my child , Al , because she thought I was a druggie , ur mother agreed saying that then everyone will be even . Ur dad will die for everyone , but will still be married to Jessica , ur mother . So she will have a benefit . Lucy will be a widow , and anyways , Jessica was always jealous of her . I will stay un-married too . And only Kyle dies . So we built up a house for Erick with lots of safety with some money we had . And then we told Kyle everything before burning  him in front of your lawn . No one has been able to figure this out 7 years , except you . "
