"And you are sure that it was suicide?" Mila asks the police officers once again.
One of the officers takes a deep breath, while the other one messages his temples, "Yes, we are sure. She was found in her hotel room, dangling in the air. There was no other fingerprint, signalling that she was the only one there."
"See, that is the problem! She was sharing the room with Blake Louison, her boyfriend. Why isn't his fingerprint there? His print must have been there somewhere. Unless someone cleaned the place to make it look like a suicide." Mila hisses out.
"The case is closed, miss. So I suggest that you go back to the reception, and say goodbye to your mom."
As they leave, Mila is practically fuming.
She knows her mom. She wouldn't kill herself like that.
Chelsea loved herself too much for that.
Nick walks over to his sister with a solemn expression.
"What is wrong with you!" He hisses, just like she had done with the officers. "Bringing cops here. This day is to show respect to mom, and look at what you are doing!"
Mila huffs, "I'll go for a walk."
She leaves him standing there.
Nick rolls his eyes at his twin sister's reaction. He knows she is grieving, but that doesn't give her the right to ruin the day, by bringing the cops.
It is a closed case, and it was suicide.
Right?
Nick shakes his head; removing those thoughts. The cops know what they are doing, and they called it suicide.
Who is he kidding? He has ever trusted the cops, and he sure isn't going to now.

Mila walks back towards her mom's grave.
It sure is ugly.
It is grey, of course, with her name imprinted on it.
Chelsea Wilson
Robert, Nick and Mila agreed on not writing anything else on, since none of them knew what to say.
It's not like they could write:
Loving mother and wife
She once was those things, but not anymore.
And now she will never get to make up for those things.
Mila's phone goes off, bringing her away from her mom's grave.
It is an unknown number.
"Hello?"
"You got a call from Florida prison, from Peter Horson, do you accept?"
Mila's breath gets caught in her throat. Is she ready to talk to him?
Last time they talked it was 4, months ago when they planned to catch him and his dad.
So much has happened since.
"Yes," Mila says, surprising herself.
Like she said 1, month ago; it is time to start from the scratch. Be happy.
And this is something she needs to do if she must bury her past along with her mom.
"Mila?" Peter says.
