THE ARRIVAL

PART TWO

ALEX'S POV.
Son?" I heard a familiar voice.

"Young man, are they your parents?" A man wearing a police uniform said.

"No, they're not my parents, but they said they are" I made eye contact with my mum, my dad couldn't say a word.

  ************************************
"This girl and your son told us they found this in your house, sir? What do you have to say about this?". The policeman said He threw the envelope at them.

" By the way, my name is detective Paul. It is nice to meet you two." He added.
Oh, he's a detective; I guess that's why he wasn't on a uniform.

"Is this why you had my wife and I arrested? Because of pictures that I don't even know whose it is?  And who is Tayo Williams? I demand an apology!"  My dad yelled while Rose and I watched him.

"Your son explained a lot to us." Mr. Paul smiled.
Yeah, actually I told him all I heard, how they discussed the Elliots, and the mentioning of her sister in their discussion.

Putting all this together proves they have a hand in the murder case. I explained to Mr. Paul how they intend to waste me as used in their words and how they abducted me for years because they are not my real parents.

"I now know everything Mum! For the past seventeen years of my life, I was fooled. It shows clearly why you two were never there for me." I stared at him with so much disbelief.

"I don't know who is feeding you with all these rumors because I'm yet to understand what you're saying, have you started drinking? Or do you have brain damage? Need I remind you that I am your father and I'll always be." My father yelled at him.

"Lower your voices." Mr. Paul said.

"Mr. and Mrs. Alabi, I'd like you two to meet someone. Tell us if you have or had any connections with her" Mr. Paul ordered that Rose's aunt should be brought to his office.

"Here she is" A policeman brought her, holding her elbow violently. Rose looked away, she must be disgusted by her sight.

"Mrs. Tayo, I'd like you to take a closer look at these people, have you met before?" Mr. Paul looked at her.

"No, I don't know her," She said. Her face was swollen, she looked like she cried all day. Rose choked up and she was misty-eyed I knew she was on the verge of crying.

"And him?" Mr. Paul asked further.

"I-I-I I think I know him" She stammered.

"You think you know him or you know him?" Mr. Paul said.

"I know him!" She yelled.

"She doesn't know what she's talking about! I do not know this lady." My Dad said to Mr. Paul.

"Mrs. Alabi, what do you have to say to this?" Mr. Paul asked her.

"Sir, I've been behind bars for years, I just got released a few days ago and this murder case happened just a year ago. How do you expect me to have any connections with this" My mum told him?
Immediately, I had eye contact with Rose and Mr. Paul. I guess we shared the same thoughts at that moment.

"But, I heard you speak about the Elliots. I heard that from you." I faced her.

"Son, what has gotten over you? How dare you say this to me? I suffered for years because of a crime I didn't commit and now you want to be the one to implicate me?" She yelled at me.

"I am not your son!" I shouted.

"You are," They both said at the same time.

"I'm sorry, but we'll have to detain you two," Mr. Paul said facing my parents.
are they my parents? But I heard them loud and clear, they are not my parents. I was confused.
