                      Goldiver's P.O.V...

                       I am still here asking Claire the same question.

                      Where is Mikey???-I asked her.

                      I don't know what you are talking about. I don't know where he is!!!!-she replied.

                      She was about to go out of the room when I pulled her arm back and blocked the door of the room.

                      You know the crime but you did not do what you are supposed to do. For the least and finalization of this crime, please state where Mikey is-I pleaded her.

                       She took her arm back and insisted.

                       I don't know. I don't know. I DON'T KNOW!!! Why do you keep asking me all of those questions???? I already said I don't know!-she shouted then sat down the on the floor and leaned on the wall while clear drops of liquid ran down her pink cheeks.

                       Claire.... you must state where Mikey is so that it will all be clear to all. Please......-I pleaded.

                        I knew... all along I knew about the crime. I saw what Mikey did and I can't believe that he can do that crap. I can't even imagine being with my E-i-C all along who has a demon side. I was just a simple person who is afraid to be involved too. I was afraid that I could be a victim too..... or be accused if i was the one who came near to Riley who was lying on the floor. I was afraid..... -she explained while crying.

                         Why were you afraid??? You could also be put to safety custody like me. Why were you afraid???? You didn't do anything wrong and you have to be always ready in cases like this. In crime, no one is innocent..... everybody who knew, who saw, and who witnessed are considered not innocent too, but not criminal. Don't be afraid. It's going to be alright-I said while hugging her.

                           She hugged me back while still on tears. 

                           I knew that i saw the crime... but I never.....and didn't know where Mikey is right now. Swear... I really don't know where he is-she said. 

                         She seems to be telling the truth. She was just really afraid to tell the truth that's why she did that. Maybe, if I were her, and weak enough to tell the truth, I would probably do that too. 

                          We stayed embracing each other until both of us are now calm enough to go out of the room.

                          I'm sorry for having you involved in this-I said in front of her outside the C.R.

                          T-thank you for the comfort. I-I'm sorry too for pointing at you earlier as the suspect. I didn't mean to do it-she said.

                           But..... could you think of places where he could be in???- I asked her.

                            Mikey likes to go to that Library cafe three turns away from here. He also loves going to that abandoned building near the South-Way Bridge. He doesn't have a permanent house. He only lives in a condo unit. But I guess, after what he did, he would probably be out of his condo unit- she said. 

                            Thank you so much for the information that you gave. Those were big help- I said.

                            You're welcome- she said.
