The Choice

Chapter 29

"I knew something didn't match," Caitlin said to her cell phone. "I knew I recognized that name from either side." She told me that her real name was Leslie something and when she saw the lady's body something gave me a kinda weird feeling. This lady must be from Amunet's family.

"And your papilte was right and if this is true of you being from Amunet's family and was killed, someone must want information about her whereabouts," Cisco said through his cell phone.

- We have to find her.

- I'll look here and if there is news I say.- Cisco said ending the call.

"We have to find her first and the person who killed this lady finds her first," Caitlin said worriedly. Although Amunet is a villain, she has a good heart at heart and has helped us a few times.

We went back to the CPD and went to my office waiting for news from Cisco but for now nothing. Half an hour had passed when Cisco called a video call.

"I've been searching through the lady's surveillance cameras and nearby streets and got an ID. The killer is named Victor Price and is not on the target list. "- C

"So what will he want with Amunet?" - Cait

"I'm not sure, let me see your track record." - C- "It looks like he was married to Amunet's sister, but it didn't end well for him. When Leslie's sister Amunet died in a car accident, she left all her money and property in her sister's name, not her husband's. She has filed some lawsuits in court, but nothing has succeeded for you. "

"So he killed you to see if she knew Amunet's whereabouts" - B

"Little does he know that she is no longer just a girl working on airplanes but one of Central City's biggest criminals" - Cait

"Which makes it dangerous if she finds out first of us" - B

"I think I have an idea where she might be. Some time ago, when I left STAR Labs I ended up working with her for a while, no criminal, just doing some analysis to people to see if they had dark matter in their systems and she used to spend time in a bar after work. just composed of goals. "- Cait

"Worth a try." - B

We left CCPD and headed toward the bar where she used to hover, and actually there she was, at a table right at the back of the bar alone, with a glass on the table.

"Caity, what a surprise," Amunet said as he saw us there. You brought friends... Flash... I mean Detective Barry Allen.

"We need to talk to you, Amunet," Caitlin said, sitting in front of her.

- What's up, honey? Do you need my help? Again?

"None of that ... We're investigating your Aunt Leslie's death," I said this time.

- What? But how? Who? When? "Amunet asked confused and worried.

- About an hour and a half, was shot at the door of your building, at first glance it seemed a theft that had gone wrong, but then we realized it was because of you. - Caitlin said answering your questions.

"Looks like a ral of Victor Price approached her and asked where you were, and when she didn't tell him, he killed her." I completed Caitlin's reasoning.

- That bastard! How was he able, "Amunet said, rising angrily in his voice.

"Amunet, sorry to intrude but can you tell me what's going on between you two so he hates you that much?" Caitlin asked and Amunet sat down again.

- At the time I had not been hit by the particle accelerator and was living a normal life with my family and working as a flight attendant. My sister and I got along very well and when she met Victor I was extremely happy for her because she looked happy, but after the wedding things got sour. He spent more time in bars than at work and of course money was scarce. My sister from an early age had an emergency bank account where every month when she received from her job she put some into that account. He started to get violent, not to the point of beating her because he didn't have that courage, but threatened with death, even though she didn't care... One day we got a call at home saying that my sister had died as a result of a car accident. but the other driver had fled. We then received a visit from her lawyer saying that before her death she had made a will in which all her fortune including the money in her reserve account was mine and left nothing to her husband.

- And then? What happened? "I asked.

"He found out and said he was going to take revenge and that he wanted that money, which was his right to put up with my sister for so long. It was that week that I was hit by the blast and I became what is ahead of you today and I never saw my family again.

"How much money are we talking about for sure?" Caitlin asked curiously and I confess that even I was.

- 200 thousand.- answered Amunet.

- Wow! This really is a lot of money .- Caitlin said in surprise.

- I am moved to worry about me but he will not find me, I can hide and even if he finds me, he can do me no harm, no one has done so long ago - said Amunet smiling.

"With all due respect, although that is true, he killed an innocent person today and has to pay for what he did," he said and she looked at me smiling.

"I realize and without getting in the line of fire, I only see one way for him to meet you," Amunet said, thinking for a moment.

- Which?

"She!" Exclaimed Amunet, pointing at Caitlin.

"Me?" Caitlin asked, confused and a little scared.

"So you told me he was stalking all the people who might know about my paradiero and you worked with me a long time, dear!" It's only natural that he thinks you know where I walk these days. But they have the knowledge to attract you.

- I have an idea about that! And I'll need your help a lot Barry.- Caitlin said looking at me and we left the bar and sat on a bench by the CCPD.

"You've been quiet all the way from here, you can tell me how I can help you."

"I need to ask you a favor, I know it must be strange yet, and I accept that you say no, but we need Iris's help."

- Iris, but why? I do not understand.- said confused, but what the hell can Iris help us in this case ?!

- She works at the best newspaper in Central City and has the most viewed website ever. My idea is that she could put an article on her page saying that I had won a prize and on the cover could have a photograph of me and Amunet. Victor when seeing the page and the news will realize that I am the person who is closest to Amunet today and will come to me for sure.

"It's a risky idea, but it can work." I will call.

I picked up my cell phone and dialed the number of Iris we spent a few minutes answering.

"Barry what a surprise to call me, is that okay?" - I

"I have a complicated case in hand and that's what I wanted to talk about, do you think we can meet somewhere quickly?" - B

"Sure, in ten minutes I step into Jitters and we can talk." - I

"Just one thing, I'll take Caitlin with me, is there a problem?" - B

"Of course not Barry... See you soon" - I
