Blind Case (Completed ✔️)

Chapter Four

I blinked my eyes repeatedly, cursing the devil that came to disturb my beautiful sleep. I wasn't gonna budge though. I was really enjoying my sleep. I turned so I was backing the light. Suddenly, there was a splash on my face.

"Ah!" I screamed and rolled out of bed. My butt hit the ground hard and I winced and held it. I looked up to see the fool that had done that and got angrier at the sight of my partner holding a bucket in his hand and grinning mischievously.

"You fool! Are you really after a criminal or my death?!" I yelled. I brushed off the strand of wet hair that stuck to my fore head thanks to the fool in front of me.

"It's 8:15 already." He said.

"So?" I asked, totally confused.

"I told you we're going somewhere by 8." He said.

"And how's that my problem. You can go wherever you want to." I said and stood up still holding my butt. It still hurts and it got me angrier.

"I would have gone alone if I was on this case alone but they teamed me up with a dummy-"

"Just shut up and get out!" I shouted.

"And you should get ready."

I threw a pillow at him. "Get out!" He chuckled and left, closing the door softly behind him. "Fool!" I screamed in anger and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

"Ouch." I winced as I applied a certain pain relief cream my mom had given me to the area. "That sonofabitch." I cursed. I dropped the cream when I was done and got dressed in black trousers and dark blue shirt with black vans. Then, I went outside.

"Finally! What took you so long?" He asked after checking his watch. I rolled my eyes. He grabbed his bike key and we went out. "Here." He gave me a helmet.

"I have mine." I said and held it up and smiled at him.

He just returned his helmet and started his bike. "Are you gonna hop on?" He asked me.

"As if I would ever wanna ride with you." I remarked.

"I don't want to either so don't get all proud." He said and took off.

"Hey! Wait!" I shouted and jumped on my bike.

We got to the house really late. It looked abandoned. Hayden didn't even wait for me. He parked his bike and went towards the house. I got down from the bike too and went to him. He pressed the doorbell but no one responded so we just barged in.

I saw a lamp and went to get it. I lit it and we started looking around. This is Amelia's house. We looked around for a while until something cut my eyes.

"What's that?" I asked and went to it.

"Wait! Don't go too close." Hayden said. I rolled my eyes again and went closer.

"It looks like a..." I gasped. "A body." I whispered and bent over it. I turned it over and was taken aback. The cold, pale, white face that laid still. This woman was the definition of beauty and she's...dead.

"Raquel Quinn." He said and bent over beside me. "She's Amelia's mother." He clarified.

"And she's dead." I said almost choking on the last word.

"Why do you think we're here?" He asked coldly.

"To party." I replied sardonically and he rolled his eyes at me.

"Stay away from her!" We heard a shrill voice from behind us and I was shocked when I saw a cute little ten years old holding a knife.

"Alright Amelia, drop the knife." Hayden cooed moving close to her slowly.

"Stay back!" The girl shouted and he stepped back, his hands in the air. Idiot.

"Listen Amelia, we aren't here to harm you. We came to protect you." I said and she averted her gaze to me.

"And how am I supposed to believe that?" She asked.

I quickly searched for my ID. "Look. Look." I said stretching it out to her.

She stretched and nodded. Then, she looked at Hayden and pointed the knife at him.

"Just show her your ID already!" I shouted. He looked at me, unsure. "What? Are you so dumb?" I asked getting frustrated.

"I didn't bring it." He whispered.

"Who are you?" The girl asked again.

I sighed. "He...he... He's with me." I said reluctantly. It would have been nice to see the girl stab him with the knife and watch him die a painful death. What? I'm not this wicked. He deserves it.

The girl relaxed and dropped the knife on the table beside her.

"You're here for me right?" She asked.

"Yeah." I said and she nodded and came closer.

"She left me." She said, referring to her mum. "It used to be just us; me and her. She was my best friend. My everything." She said and I looked at her. Her eyes were distant as if she was thinking about something...those days she spent with her mum probably. I would also end up like this if anyone happened to harm my mum. I understood her pain.

"It's okay Amelia." I said and stooped to her level.

"No! It's not okay! She's dead! She's gone! She left me alone!" She said and busted into tears. I drew her into a hug immediately. She was too young to be going through all this.

"Be fast with all this please." Hayden said, less concerned.

"Just shut up you! If you have nothing to say then shut it!" I said angrily. What was he thinking? The little girl is hurting so much and all he could think about was going back to the hotel? Screw him.

"I'm sorry. I totally ruined your shirt." The girl said as she pulled away and sniffed.

"It's okay." I said.

"Shall we go now?" Hayden asked impatiently.

We looked at him and just when I was about to reply him, the girl spoke up.

"Let me just get some of my things." She said and left.

"You're a f*cking asshole." I said and went to meet her.
