Enigma

Chapter 20: I Am The Ticker

Normani p.o.v

I walked to the door and open it grabbing the unconscious girl and throwing her over my shoulders I walked to the shed and threw her down the stairs quickly locking the door. Is she dead she's causing too much trouble right now?

I walked into the house to see Lauren on the couch with her head in her hands. "You good?" Lauren looks up at me "yeah I'm fine,did you get her?" I nodded "yeah"

"It took you long enough it's fucking 11 at night"

"You'd be surprised how busy a blind girl is" she rolls her eyes following me outside. "Where's your wife?"

"Like you care"

"I don't but where is she?"

"In the shower"  I nodded as we walked into the shed.

Y/n p.o.v

I hummed as I got out of the shower and wrapped a towel around my body. I slid on a pair of flip flops and walked out of the bathroom and entering my bedroom. I heard a doorbell downstairs "Lauren can you get the door?!" I yelled sitting on the bed and applying my lotion to my legs. The doorbell went off again, "LAUREN?!" Getting annoyed with the bell I grabbed my robe and jogged downstairs and looking through the peephole to see Chris. I quickly open the door. "Chris What are you doing here?" I asked letting him in.

He digs the cigarette he had in his mouth on the wall before walking in. "I need to talk to my sister where is she?"

"I uh I think she stepped out...do you want to come back later?" He shakes his head "I'll wait" he didn't look happy like he usually did, maybe because of his wife that died.

"Ok, I'll call her" I jogged upstairs and quickly got dressed. I tried to call Lauren but she wasn't answering her phone.

I walked back downstairs to see Chris was looking at a picture of Lauren and I. "She's not answering the phone"

"Are you trying to rush me out?" My eyes widen "what? No of course not"

"I was joking" he smiles a little before it fell again. "Where did you and Lauren meet again?"

"Uh at some trail, we were hiking"

"Do you remember what trail? And was it down here?" I grabbed 2 water bottles I handed one to him. And open mines sipping it.

"Uh, yeah it was down here...it was Kit trail" he turns to me "What day?"

"March 24th, 2016 why?"

"Are you aware that there was a murder on that same exact day?" I furrowed my eyebrows "yeah? I remember hearing about it"

He gives me this look that made me uncomfortable. "Do you know what happened to that girl?" Before I could answer he continued "she was hit in the head 14 times and heart was removed out of her chest as if beating her head in wasn't enough" I frowned not knowing but knowing where he was going with this.

"Oh my god"

"And yet you two somehow shared smiles exchanged numbers as if one of y'all didn't just commit a murder" my stomach turned. "What?"

"So tell me y/n who did it was you or was it Lauren" my eyes widen as he pulls a gun out on me. I dropped my water bottle. "Who killed my wife which one of you did it?!"

"Chris please calm down we would never do such a thing"

"I KNOW EVERYTHING Y/N I KNOW YOU BOTH ARE HELPING EACH OTHER AND YOU'RE PLANNING ON LEAVING TOMORROW MORNING. BUT I SWEAR TO GOD THAT ONCE IM DONE WITH YOU, YOU WONT SEE TOMORROW!" I stared at him frightened not knowing what to do in this situation. If I run he'll shoot me if I say the wrong thing he'll shoot me.
