While Mrs.Cooper rushes to clean up the blood on the floor, she had wanted me to stay far away as possible from the murder scene. I wasn't just going to leave either. I was so in shock I just stood looking down at the mans body, almost in tears. I couldn't believe Chic killed the guy. I then looked over at Chic before crawling over to Chic, which happened to be rocking back and forth on the floor in shock.

Chic looked like he was having a panic attack, so I made sure to comfort him as much as I could.

" Mom? Danny?" I heard a voice whisper causing Mrs.Cooper and I to look up over at a confused Betty, looking at the whole scene unraveling in front of her in horror.

" Elizabeth did you lock the front door?" Mrs.Cooper asked her daughter.
" W-what happend?" She asked in panic before walking closer to the body.
" No, no, don't come any closer and don't touch anything!" Her mom exclaims.

" He-he tried to hurt me, and Danny.—and Chic, your brother—" She begins to explain to your daughter causing Betty to look over at Chic and I before taking her phone out.
" What are you doing!" Her mom yells at her daughter with wide eyes.
" Calling the police!" Betty says in tears.
" No, don't do that! Do not do that!" Her mom tells her daughter,as Mrs.Cooper stands up and tries to calm down her daughter.

"There's a man on our floor!" Betty tells her mother.

Yeah. A dead man.

"If the police comes, then they'll take Chic away from me and I wont let that happen again!" Mrs.Cooper exclaims to her crying daughter making my heart sink before looking at Chic again who was just staring straight ahead of me. I then reached out for his hand and held it to comfort the boy, as I then lightly caressed his upper palm with my thumb.

" It was self-defense!" Betty tries to point out to her mother, as Mrs.Cooper goes back to cleaning.
" It was self defense, right?" Betty asks.
" Yes, Of course it was!—but it won't matter!" Her mom says.
" What do I do?" Betty asks her mom as Mrs.cooper throws away a bloody rag.
" Just go to your room, and take Danny. You both didn't see anything." Mrs.Cooper tells her daughter causing Betty to look over at me before shaking her head at the thought of having her mom deal with this alone.
" Mom let me help you!" She says with Now year marks down her face.
" No honey, it's better if your not involved." She tells her daughter as Betty's phone then rings catching everyone's attention.

" It's dad." Betty says in panic.
" Don't answer."
" But what if-"
" You are right, answer But act like everything is normal." Mrs. Cooper tells her daughter, as I then watch Betty answer the phone and put it beside her ear causing Chic to hold my hand tighter.

" Hi dad, what's up?" Betty says trying to act like everything is good.
" Huh? —okay I'll see you in a bit." Betty says before hanging up.
" Please tell me he's not coming here." Betty's mom asks.
" Yeah, he needs toiletries. He says he doesn't want to get in another fight with you." She explains.
" Betty." Her mom starts but Betty interrupts her.
" We don't know how much time we have, please just let me help you." Betty pleads her mother.
" Let me help too." I say causing Mrs.Cooper to look over at me and sighs.
