"Do they know how she died? I know it's labeled as a suicide, but do they have physical proof that it was? Were there any specific names in the suicide note?" I ask. I could possibly lead this all up to Ailee, in which whom I know for a fact had to do with Kelly's murder.

"Your name was mentioned. Along with your miscarriage." an officer had said. "My miscarriage? I never told Kelly about my miscarriage. The only one who knew besides my husband and Park Seonghwa was.. Oh my god Ailee knew! But I never told her. She must've done a medical report on me. Can you do that on Kelly to see if she ever had any depression or suicidal thoughts lately? I talked to her 48 hours ago." I say. The cop nods. "You might want to sit down for this news." he says. I take a seat.

Anxious, I held my hands together tightly. "Kelly was never suicidal. I know for a fact because I used to be a good friend of hers. And she was always a happy and bubbly person. Until she started associating with loan sharks." he explained. My heart stopped. San was involved with loan sharks. Maybe the loan sharks were after her.

"Loan sharks? You mean guys who loan you money and if you don't give them the money back they come after you and threaten to kill you?" I ask. The cop nods. "How would you know about them?" he asks. "My friend used to be involved." I smile nervously.

"Mhm. Well, they're saying that they could possibly reduce your sentence if you can help us with this case of Kelly Vancouver. Are you up for it?" he asks. "Yes! I've wanted to be an FBI Agent since I was 7 years old." I held in my excitement as much as I could.

"Tell me everything you know about Ailee and Kelly." he grabs a pen and notebook. "Ailee is, well, was my attorney. Kelly came to me 2 days ago saying Ailee threatened her to help her dig up dirt on me for more prison time. But Kelly refused. She spent 2 hours here explaining everything, apologizing for all the pain she's caused my family. And 2 days after, she dies. Doesn't them seem weird to you?" I ask. The officer took off my handcuffs and got me a cup of coffee, along with a bulletin board and files of both Ailee and Kelly.

"It does seem kinda weird. Did I mention Ailee was nowhere to be found in her apartment today when we went to ask her if she knew Kelly or had any contact with her? Kelly's phone had been dialing Ailee's phone number the morning of the murder slash suicide. Ailee had supposedly flew out to Georgia to visit family." Officer Morgan says. "That's really weird. How does she just up and disappear? Did she leave a note or anything?" I ask. Officer Morgan shakes his head. "The only thing she left was a manila folder with your name on it. Tons of pictures of you, your family, job, dance studio, husband, etcetera. The list goes on. And written on the back was a letter to you. Something along the lines of 'You'll never catch me..."Morgan says. I interrupt. "Because she'll always be 2 steps ahead." I look and lock eyes with Officer Morgan.

He looks confused and surprised. "How do you know that?" he asks. "My mom was a cop. She got the same mail all the time from her suspects." I smile then something clicks. "Wait, you said pictures? Our house was always guarded. She could never get in or even get pictures. Unless..." I look at the bulletin board.

"Unless she wasn't there. She was across or had to of had some sort of high tech crew take those pictures. You have to have a very high quality camera and camera lens to get pictures as good as these." Officer Morgan shows me the pictures.

"These are really good. Wow. She's obsessed with my family. Why do you think she is?" I ask. He shrugs. "Maybe because she's never had a good life. She left her hometown of Georgia when she was 18. She never called her mother nor her father. They called her multiple times. No answer. Even sent out a search team. They hadn't known she left until 2 years later when they saw her on the news. And the last time she was on the news was when you were being arrested for the attempted murder of Choi San."

"Can I talk to her parents?" I ask. "I'm not sure they'd want to talk to you. Considering, ya know, your situation." Morgan says. "Oh yeah haha. You're probably right. Anyways, let's call it quits and start up early on the morning?" I comply. He nods.
