That Mute Girl (DISCONTINUED)

Chapter 28

As I close the door I was startled by knocking on my door,I open it and it reveal a detective and a cop.

"Excuse me miss,im officer Hank and this is.." said the police.

"John Davies"the detective said cuttting off the officer's introduction and offer a handshake that I accept.

"Do you aware that both of your neighbor was just murdered?" Ask Hank bluntly.

"We were wondering if we can ask you some question?" Ask the detective while elbowing the officer for his bluntness.

    Shit,my house is filled with dry blood,what the fuck should I do?. I ask myself as I panic,I look at both of the gentleman and put on a scared face.

"Both?" Acting shocked,I ask.

"Yes,the Brown family were murdered about maybe few weeks ago. Though their son,Randy is nowhere to be seen,he is one of the suspects" said the detective.

"Oh my God,those poor souls...they were good folks..I didn't even realize it..how?..when?" I acted scared and as innocent as I can.

"Thats why were planning asking the whole neighborhood, asking if anyone seeing someone acting suspicious" Hank answer.

"Can you hold up for a sec?I need to clean up the place a little" closing the door on them without any approval, I take a deep breath trying to calm myself. What should I do?What should I do? ,i am such an idiot I could've murder the one across the road,but noooo,the voice that controlled me say to murder the next door. I rant to myself while pacing around the room.

    Setting aside the self rant,I come up with a plan so it won't blow my cover. After gagging Randy up I come upstairs and put some curtains on the hallway and spray the room with air freshener,hoping it mask up the blood scent. I come downstairs to the front door  and taking a deep breath. You got this,Alice.

"Come in,gentleman" I open back the door for them,"want some refreshments?"i ask as they sat down on the couch.

"We're fine" Hank decline.

"Sorry for the mess,it's not easy living by yourself without any parents" I try to start of a conversation.

"I've heard from your other neighbors,that you were close with the victim's son?is that true?" Ask Mr.Davies.

"Yes I am close to him,he is like a brother to me" I answered truthfully.

"I see.." said the detective scribbling down something on his notebook." Maybe that's why you're the only one left on this side of this neighborhood,maybe,he still care for you"

"I hope so" looking down on my lap.

"Did he act unusual before any of this happen?" Ask the officer,finally speaking up.

"As I recall,no" still acting scared I play with the hem of my shirt.

    Mr.Davies put back his note in his pocket and standing up,"I think that's enough for today,i think you have a lot in mind and trying to soak in all of this information"

"Thank you for understanding Mr. Davies,and if I found some information about Randy, I promise I'll let you know" smiled a little to the guy.

"Remember to lock your doors and windows" said the officer.

    As I see them drove off, I close the door and release the breath I've been holding in for a while. "I hope they don't suspect a thing"
