I opened the door to check if the person who posted the letter through was still there... There was no sign of anybody.
I walked back into the house, curious to what was going on.
"Thought the post man came?" Josh asked as I walked through the living room.
"Yeah, uhm, he did. I-i-it was just a magazine. I'll put it in the bin." I said.
"Oh, stupid magazines that aren't worth shit."
"Y-y-yeah."
"Are you alright, Jack?"
I seemed to be in a daydream, not particularly paying attention to my surroundings.
"Oh, eh, yeah.. I'm fine.."
"You sure?"
"You look a bit white, mate.." Max said to me.
"I don't feel well. I think I might go and lay down for a bit." I said, making my way up the stairs.
I was still in shock and was confused. Trying to figure out who was the shooter was getting harder than I thought.
It had to be Hanna that shot Josh. Who else could it be?
----------------------
"Jack? Are you feeling okay?" A voice said as the bedroom door opened.
"Y-yeah, I'm fine, thanks." I replied.
"Here, I brought you a juice."
"Thanks, Hayley."
Hayley came and sat beside me, I think she knew I was hiding something from her.
"What's on the paper, Jack? You can tell me?" She asked.
"It's nothing, I guess." I replied.
"Jack?"
"I-I-I don't want to say, i-it's about Josh."
"Jack, I'm more worried about you hiding things from me."
"Th-there was a l-l-letter."
"What you talking about?"
"The door, this morning, somebody put it through."
I put my hand in my back pocket and handed her the piece of paper.
"Oh." Hayley said, sighing.
"I didn't know what to do. I tried to protect him. I didn't want him to find out. He's so happy about the Arsenal thing, I don't want to ruin his mood."
"Jack, it just shows how much you care. It will mean so much to him."
I smiled.
"Wait, what have you been doing the past hour then if you never showed me this and you claimed to be unwell?"
"I've just been lying here. Thinking. Trying to figure out who's been doing this. I have nothing. I can only suspect Hanna."
"Don't worry, I think it's her too. The quicker we find out, the better."
"You're right."
Hayley leant over and hugged me, I let a sigh until a bang on the door distracted us.
"Wh-wh-what was that?" I asked.
"I think it was the door, Max will get it.." "MAAAAAX!!!" Hayley shouted.
We giggled as we watched Max walk to the door from the top of the stairs.
-----------------------------------
"Oh, it's you. Come in." Max said, opening the door to the two Police Officers.
"Who is it, Max?" Josh asked Max, shouting from the kitchen.
"HAYLEY!! JACK!! GET DOWN HERE NOW, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT!" Max shouted up to me and Hayley.
As we made our way into the living room, we saw the police officers sitting on the couch waiting for us to come in.
"We have news for you." PC Hemingway said to us all.
"Oh, so do we. We were just about to come down and tell you Josh, there was a letter, this morning."
"You two can go first." One of the Police Officers said to me and Hayley.
"Here."
I handed him the letter as he studied it, his eyes squinted as he tried to see if there was any clues as to who it was that sent it.
"When did you get this?" PC Hemingway said, handing the letter over to Josh so he could read it.
"Uhmmm, this morning." I answered.
"Oh, okay."
I was confused to what was going on. Me and Josh looked at eachother, puzzled.
"What's your news, guys?" Max asked.
"Oh, yeah, our news! So, qw got CCTV footage and we managed to get the car, so we zoomed in and there was also a registration plate.." PC Harris said, nervously.
"That's amazing!" Hayley added.
"It's not as amazing as you think.."
"Oh?" Josh said.
"So, we got the registration of the car and we tracked it down and stuff then we found out it was a hire car."
"That's good enough? You can check their documents?"
"Well, if the person who got the car was the person that shot you then that isn't the greatest of news."
"How come?" I asked.
"It was apparently a guy from Surrey."
"Wh-wh-what? Who?"
"Do you know anyone that goes by the name of Chris Miller?"
