"My DNA, there's no ways!" I yelled at her with anger and mainly fear... My DNA? Seriously... How did my DNA get on this kid? She looked at me calmly like she did before and crossed her left leg over her right."Maybe you forgot or you're trying to forget. Why did you kill him Ricky?" She said in a low tone, just loud enough for me to hear. I started shaking wildly, I didn't kill him! I didn't! I did. I did kill him? No, no, there's no possible way that can be true, she's fucking with my mind and I letting her!
"I didn't! Or I didn't mean to...I don't remember. Please help me. I didn't do it!" I said in shock. I know this couldn't have been me, right? If it was me, I would've remembered... You can't just kill a kid and forget about it. I mean... Could you? She looked at me, she saw how stressed I was and I was expecting some niceness.
"You didn't mean to? So you did do it?" She said in a cocky voice. I panicked, I got up and I opened the door, then ran out Sean casually followed and we were off.
"What do you think you're doing? You threw all attention on yourself!" He yelled.
"Oh my gosh, Sean, you don't understand! They found my DNA on that boy, I don't know how...maybe I did do it." I said, immediately he denied and placed a hand on my shoulder.
"No you didn't, remember? You just went to Burger King and back home." He said in a reassuring tone.
"Why do you believe me? No one else does." I said sadly, on the verge of tears.
"Well, because, Ricky, you're my partner and friend, I've known you for 2 years." He said with a wide smile. Still keeping his eyes on the road ahead.
He kept driving and there was a truck ahead the was driving extremely fast towards us, it was starting to concern me."Hey, Sean, watch out for that truck it looks dang-" The cars collides. The car flipped and my face hit the glass, a broken piece cut my arm and I yelped in pain. Sean was calling my name over and over and yelling. So, this is what fate chose... For me to die in a crash? Bullshit. The car stopped and I let out a rough sign in relieve and Sean looked over with no scratched. A man, a very tall man walled over to the drivers side of the car and grinned widely, then punched Sean in his stomach. I could see he was gasping for air then he collapsed in the man's arms. Then he walked over to me and I tried to get away, but everything went black. "What the hell happened!?" I thought. I could feel the movements of the man, he was carrying me over his shoulder. My stomach churned with pain and I felt like I had to vomit. The darkness surrounded the room in which I had been it. The movements from the man stopped and I finally saw a spark of light. I ran into the light and my eyes started blinking open. I awoke and instantly realized the situation, I was tied to a staircase.
"Where is Sean? What happened? Why are you doing this?" I said quietly to the man. I looked around the room and found my answer, Sean was right by me. The man looked at me with a smirk and knelt down to look me eye to eye as he spoke.
"You're the key suspect, they don't know it was me. If I kill this guy and place some more of your DNA on him they'll definitely lock you up for good. You're so stupid, puking on that kid, how fast you can ruin your life." He said followed by mad laughter. This guy is psycho, a murderer... What did he do to that poor boy before he took his innocent life? This... This monster should pay! I couldn't see clearly, but I had to speak... I have to take him down, but how?
"I'm PI Ricky Davis, get down and put your hands behind your head." I said with a stutter. He began to laugh like a madman, which I figured he does often.
"Alright," he said kneeling on the floor,
"Come and get me." He continued then bursted into an uncontrolled laughter.
"What, are your hands tied? You're so stupid, I've got you!" He said rushing in my direction. I shut my eyes hard and started moving my arms up and down hoping the rope would come loose. Then I can grab my pocket knife in my shoe, then take him down. He was a foot away, then he turned towards Sean. The man's hair fell in his face as he raised he arm for a hit, then started beating up Sean. So... In my assumption to make it look like we've fought, I got my rope loose and yelled at the man hoping he would stop hitting Sean. Sean's faces had blood dripping down and I couldn't help, but look away. Maybe I'm not cut out for this job, maybe I've only been put on Search and Rescue missions because Sargent Christine knew I wasn't ready... That I'm not meant to be working as a PI.
"Come over here you bastard! Sean is stronger than that you're going to have to hit me too!" I yelled. I felt stupid as I said that, but it was the only way I could get him close, a guy this arrogant and full of hisself would definitely fall for my trap. Just as I thought, the man came pacing in my direction. I pulled out my pocket knife and stabbed him in his ankle and he pulled out a gun in just that second. My ears began to ring blood burst from my hand.
"Oh my god, my hand!" I yelled as the man started to laugh. I heard
police sirens and Sean slowly raised his head with a wide girl."Haha, I guess they tracked my phone to find you Ricky." He said, spitting out blood.
I felt better, but everything started to get blurry and the man aimed the gun at my head, as I heard another gun shot. This time though, the man fell to the floor, police rushed in and untied Sean. I got pushed into an ambulance and Sean in another, they kept asking me questions,"Are you okay?"
"What happened here?"
"Who was that man?" I couldn't speak I just lied there and shut my eyes. When I awoke I saw Sargent Christine and Detective Murphy, they had odd expressions... Like guilt mixed with concern."We're sorry we didn't believe you. Sean told us about how your DNA got on the boy because of your vomit... Are you alright?" I looked up to them and smiled as hard as I could...
"Of course, I'm PI Ricky Davis!" I said with pride and their faces were covered in wide smiles.I hope you enjoyed the new and improved edited version. I tried with all I could to revive this.
