The Nightmare Outside My Window

I finally got maternity leave. I'm at home all alone again like always watching tv. Raja been over here a couple of times but for some reason she don't feel comfortable around Michael. It's weird. But I get what she's coming from. I don't even know who Michael is no more.

As I was eating some chips while watching the news, I look down at my phone seeing a text from Raja.

Raja_you watching the news

Me_yeah why?

I kept watching it till I saw breaking news.

Today a woman was found in her backyard dead. Apparently she was naked laying on the ground with her a gunshot wound to her head. She was found by her friend who came to visit her.......................

I stop eating my chips looking at the house that was on TV. Cherie. Cherie was the one who fucked Michael. Did Michael had anything to with this?

I got up from the couch walking to the kitchen. I grab my peanut butter out the cabinet and my pickles out the fridge. I rubbed some peanut butter on the pickle and was bout to eat till I heard a knock on the door.

I walk to the door not knowing who was at my door. I open the door seeing two men with badges. "Hello ma'am, how are you doing this fine evening?"one of them ask.

"I'm fine and you?"

"Doing fine. Can we come in"the man said. I stepped aside and let them in. They walked inside my house looking around. "Okay, we just wanted to come over here and ask a few questions"

"Fire away"I said.

"Do you know Michael?"the man ask. Should I lie to them? Or should I tell them the truth?

"Yeah I know him"I said.

"Do he visit you often?"

"Sometimes. He's very busy looking after the hospital"I said.

"Okay, well miss Cherie friends all said they Michael was her boyfriend and I'm thinking that Michael had something to do with miss Cherie death. If he does come back here, give us a call"the man said then walk back to the door.

"I don't think Michael had something to do with her death"I said. "When did she died?"

"We don't know yet. The friends found her today"the other man said. I nodded my head and watch them walk back to their car.

What if Michael did had something to do with this?
