The Nightmare Outside My Window

F O R T Y - N I N E

{ Harlow }

I walked inside the detectives office waiting for them to be finish with their meeting. I sigh heavily looking at my phone. I did receive a text from Michael saying he miss me and wants me back. Like no. I don't want him back.

"Hi Ms......"

"It's Harlow"I shook their hands.

"So I see now you want to talk"detective James said.

"Yes"I said.

"What you know about Michael?"he ask.

"Michael was my ex. My baby father. He uhhh, he had sex with the girl that died in her backyard"I said.

"How you know it was him?"he ask.

"Because earlier that day, Cherie was all in our business about me being pregnant and his co-workers knew from Cherie"

"So he was upset cause people knew about your pregnancy?"detective James ask.

"Yes, he was crazy okay"I said.

"Do you believe that he killed Cherie?"detective Cherie ask.

"Yes I believe. He came home that day and when I told him what Cherie did at the hospital, he left and the next day the news was on about Cherie being dead in her backyard"I said. "Something is wrong with Michael"

"Do you know where he is?"detective James ask.

I shook my head no. "I don't know and I don't want to know. He might kill me next for moving away from him and taking my baby with me"

"I need you to do us a huge favor. We will need you to call him, meet up with him somewhere, and convince him that he killed Ms. Cherie"he said. "Harlow your our only hope and Ms. Cherie family"

"Okay"

"You didn't know she had a daughter"Cherie had a daughter?

"How old is she?"I ask.

"When we find out, she was 6 months"--"We need you to bring in your child so we can know if Michael is the father"

I nod my head stood up. "I'ma bring my son tomorrow to see. And then we can start trying to track Michael"

They both nod their heads and shook my hand. I walked out the office to the front but then stop once I seen a man who looked a bit like Michael. He walk right pass me with another guy.

"You talked to your brother?"

"Who Michael? Hell nah, I'm good with my life"

Michael had a brother.
