The Number You have Dialed

Twelfth Scenario

I have plenty of sleep. Not more than 4 hours in thinking what to do. I have no insomnia, I have problem to be solve. A serious problem. How to escape on hell? How to deceive the demon? What to do? It's about 7 in the morning, my mom entering my room while I'm still lying. She calls me.

"Ashly?"

"Why mom?" I asked while I'm dizzy.

"There's a police looking for you." She said. After I heard such things, I had to be presently minded. Then I prepare myself while the police waiting on the sofa.

Then a moment of silence prevail after we met.

"Hey good morning," The police said. "I'm Police Officer Sardua of Velez City Police Department."

He stand up after he saw me and have a shake hands. My mother observing us on the kitchen while she's preparing food. The police is not too old. He's only about 30 above and he didn't wear a police uniform but he present me his badge. Then the conversation start.

"Are you Ashly Medina?"

"Yes sir." Nervously answered his question.

"Don't be afraid. Calm yourself. Calm yourself." The Officer said.

"Okay."

My heart beats fast. I don't know how to answer. I feel I'm on a hot seat.

"You know this two persons, right?" He ask after shown two pictures. The pictures,

"Yes I know them."

"What's your relationship on them? Are this two is your friend?" He asked.

"No. They were the two who always bullying me." I answer. I feel nervous. On other side, the Killer still not calling. They present the picture of Benjo and Carl.

"I have an interview and all I want to know is only, what the truth is," Then he said to my mom, "Ma'am, can we talk in privacy and confidentially? Sorry but we need to talk with your son." This scenario most make my heart beat faster and nervously. Then he whisper,

"No vex, no worry, just witness. Trust me."

Mom serve us some foods for the guest and as my breakfast and then she went out of the house. My mom too is overthinking on what's going on because I never tell this to him.

How should I start?

He said again. Putting his Samsung Galaxy J5 phone on the table on it's video player.

"Watch this Ashly." Then I watch. When I see the first video. I was frightened as I can't think normally. He said, "That was Benjo's death. And you are here at this way." Then next, I watch the second video from a CCTV too, as like on the first video. It was Carl's assassination. I was afraid to watch as I force to reject it watch fully.

"On the scenes, you were both in first and second CCTV footage. I don't know why you are there. I'm the one who hold your case, I have to help you. I know you're not the one who kill. You done nothing harm on the video." He said and he continued, "Do you know who the Killer is?"

"I don't know." I answer with full nervous. Keep it lies.

"You're nervous. Tell me what the truth is. Trust me and I can help you."

Until on that morning, my tear drops because of so much depression and torment. Suffer on this critical problem. Burdening my adolescence days.
