Searching for evil

Flashbacks

Stillness.

Silence.

The world stopped when I had finally saw you.

That day when I got that phone call, I didn't know I was going to receive the worst news of my life.

riiiiing riiing riii..

"Thank you for for calling North Landoaks detective office. Your speaking with Mya, how may I help ya?," I asked clicking my pin.

"Mya Peterson!," a booming voice called out on the other end. "How are ya today?"

"Um I am doing just fine sir," I said as I straightened my jacket. I never ever hear from the captain."How are you Sir?"

"I'm doing good. Doing good," he said as his voice trailed off. After a very long pause of dead silence, he abruptly said. "Mya I have some very bad news for you..,"

"Yes sir what is it?," I anxiously asked wiping my sweaty palms onto my pants.

Heart beating, mind racing. It sounded like everything was in slow mo.

A pen dropping.

A phone ringing.

And the worst news of my life.

"We found Angel in lake Marid Mya...,"

And that's all I heard.

My heart had stopped.

"I'm s-s-sorry Captain. I don't t-think I heard you correctly sir.,"

"I am so sorry... ," click

I was already running out of my chair on the way to my car.

As I grabbed my keys, i felt someone grab my shoulders.

"Mya, what's wrong??," the shaky voice said to me. Looking up I could see my partner, Keenan.

"Mya answer me. Are you okay?!", he asked grabbing my shoulders, looking at me with his deep brown eyes.

No no no and no. I am not okay.

"I can't right now keenan. It's Angel.", I surprisingly muttered grabbing my coat and rushing out the door.

Fumbling with the keys, I finally got it opened and  started the car. The other side door opened to reveal Keenan walking in.

"I'm going with you" was all that he said staring forward. Too worried to even think, I was on the way to Lake Marid.

Just chill Mya maybe it was made for someone else.

God please please please please don't let this be true.  I thought as I weaved through cars. I didn't even realize that tears were pouring down my face.

After seeming like hours had passed, I finally pulled up the scene. It was covered in police cars and more arriving with other detectives there. I could see the bright yellow homicide tape at the handrails and rushed to it.

With blurred vision, I pushed through all the annoying staring bystanders with their phones out taking pictures.

"Get out of the way!", I shouted moving all the by standers away. "Put your phones away and go away", I yelled as all eyes were on me.

As the crowd finally shifted away, i was able to reach the rail. My body shook  with fear as I searched across the lake for a body. I saw nothing.

What?  Maybe she is fine!

"Mya.", I heard Keenan soft voice whisper out to me. he nodded to the black bag on the ground. No.

All of the feelings left in my body escaped in one breath as my eyes laid on the body bag.

God please no. Please don't let this be my sister.

Running down the stairs nearing the crime scene investigators stopped what they were doing and let me through. One of them unzipped the bag to reveal her.

My partner in crime.

 
My best friend.  

To reveal you, my baby sister Angel.
