THE STARKS ALLEY

35

"Unhand me now!" Monic screamed at Izzy as he pinned her against the wall right in front of Kristie's apartment before she tried to get away again. Kelly already reported to the police and Ty already had the detectives on their way.

They made to sure to lock Kristie's apartment first so that Mr. Haymahn could not escaped. They just hoped that he would not hurt Kelsie.

Mr. Haymahn was alerted by the commotion and he knew that he had been discovered. He tried calling out to the guys but they wouldn't let him out. What was Monic doing in his apartment? Why Mr. Haymahn?

Detectives Kala and Jones arrived quickly followed by the police. They needed this badly; a breakthrough in the case. Since Kristie's dad had denied them access to the hospital, they had come to a dead end. Kristie herself was not in position to be put under pressure. This was their last chance to prove themselves to everyone else and they didn't waste it.

The police arrested Monic and took her away. She was wanted internationally and the journalists were there to capture her arrest as the detectives explained how she was caught and that she will be brought in for questioning that day.

There were police at the door of Kristie's apartment ready to barge in.

"We are asking you to come out slowly Mr. Haymahn. Don't make us knock this door down!" There was no response from inside. It was quiet, as if no one was there. The police urged him to open the door and when they had waited for too long, they knocked down the door and searched the apartment quickly. Izzy, Kelly and Ty were meant to stay outside.

The police found Kelsie curled up in a corner, shaking and confused.

"Where is Mr. Haymahn?" The officer asked Kelsie but she didn't even look at him.

"Officer Theodore, we need you down here," called one of the officers outside. Officer Theodore helped Kelsie up and escorted her outside where the rest were surprised to see her in that condition.

"Boo boo what happened?!" Ty shrieked.

"I believe she is in shock and probably having an anxiety attack," Officer Theodore said and the other officers took her to an ambulance and Officer Theodore headed to where he had been summoned.

"We believe this is Mr. Haymahn." It indeed was Mr. Haymahn. He had jumped from the seventh floor and was immediately noticed by one of the police officers patrolling the building to ensure that he didn't escape.

"He's alive," the officer confirmed as he felt his pulse. He had serious injuries and was soon loaded into an ambulance.

Kristie's parents were also at the scene and they were more shocked by the type of apartments Kristie used to live in. They had never been there because they had no reason to. This led Herbert to go after Kelsie the minute she saw her.

"This is the type of accommodation your 'luxurious' company provided?? I would never even put our dog here!" Kelsie was startled but managed to compose herself quickly.

"There was a mishap that..."

"I don't want to hear any of it! You are an evil little girl and I will never let you near my baby girl again!" This was the last thing that Kelsie needed to hear at this moment. She had to see Kristie and make everything right. She knew Kristie would be ready to move on, if at all she hadn't.

The police quickly cleared everyone who was at the scene and the journalists were the most difficult crowd to send away. Detective Kala was at the precinct with her partner Detective Jones ready to question Monic.

"Now I don't know who interrogated you first but this time you won't get away," Detective Kala said, clearly frustrated, "Now sit. We're going to be here for a very long time."

Detective Jones had never seen her like that but he went with the flow. He had been having sleepless nights caused by the girl in front of him and he was equally angry but composed.

The interrogation went on for hours and Monic was really a tough nut to crack. She didn't care whether or not her sentence would be reduced if she cooperated and insisted that she needed her lawyer. They released her to her cell because they were exhausted.

"I believe she was not alone," Detective Jones said, "She was living in an expensive mansion and she was not working the whole time, otherwise she would have been spotted. She was wanted at large, no one would hire her."

"Whoever that is, they should know that we are closing in on them soon."
