The Sweetest Way to Go

CHAPTER 5

~New day~

Drew watched Sweeth Tooth's surveillance footate from Aden's death, intently.

Surely enough, Amy was there, she'd ordered a box of donuts, her pinkie pointed quickly to the donut that Aden had eaten, and Tavia nodded.

As Amy left, a girl watched her leave, her face hidden my the odd angle she had turned.

Next, Drew watched the footage from Cameron's death, early in the morning, before Sweet Tooth opened, Cameron and Tavia were having a heated argument when Cameron slapped Tavia across the face and disappeared into his office.

Later on, an hour before Drew and Aden had arrived, Tavia came out of the kitchen carrying a cupcake on a plate and entered Cameron's office.

"Thank god I looked over these, Amy shouldn't have been in charge of this," Drew muttered.

On the same day, Amy came in talked to Tavia and left, the same girl, wearing a grey sweater with JM on the back, looking after her.

"Drew you're not going to believe this," Rebecca gulped, she lowered her voice, "I did as you asked and - Amy May died when she was 85, poisoned, they made an arrest those twenty or so years ago, of a Whitney Desio in Spain.

"Our Amy May's real name is... Whitney Desio,  like I said, arrested twenty years ago in Spain for mass murder, escaped jail in Madrid after serving six months, moved to the states where she currently resides with a Kelsy Jones  aka Octavia James, released for good behaviour, she was charged with assault and possession,

"Whitney changed her name and became a police officer."

Drew choked on her coffee and stared at Rebecca. She placed a file on the desk and Drew leaded through it, everything Rebecca said was there in hard, cold evidence: mugshots, victims, newspaper articles, Tavia's mugshots, everything.

"We're lacking motive though."

"Actually, no, we aren't, Lousie Caureild, Amy May's daughter. Charlie Evans, son of Octavia's stepfather's ex wife and Alissa Roberts used to bully Tavia."

"And Aden?"

Rebecca chewed her lip, "I don't think you're going to want to hear this Drew-"

"- say it."

"Aden had raoed Whitney at a bar three months ago, he was drunk though."

Drew pursed her lips, "we need to turn this in."
