PLEASE DO VOTE & LEAVE A COMMENT.
My mom sat next to me while I laid on the hospital bed, the surgery to remove the bullet from my back was successful.
Detective Robles entered into my room, with his face all serious.
"Good Morning Miss Allie"
"good morning detective " I said in severe pain
"I hope you're getting better"
"well i'm still in serious pain"
"sorry about that, well i'm here to ask you some questions "
"go on sir"
"what were you doing at the cemetery?"
"I received an Anonymous email the person said he or she knew who killed Joel, the person left an envelope with the proof in it" I paused for a second
"wait where's the envelope " I panicked
"Calm down, we have it in our custody, first of all that envelope contains nothing, the person only set a trap for you, a trap meant to kill you. See you have to be very careful you don't just go meet anybody without telling us"
"I'm sorry, I only wanted to help out"
"well if you want to help then I advice you to let us know anything you find out" he furiously said
"so we will need your laptop and phone, we need to track the person who sent you that email"
"okay, mom please hand my phone to him" I said slowly
"okay dear" my mom said handing over my phone to him.
"Thanks" He said as he collects the phone "is there anything you noticed"
"No"
"okay, I'm heading to the station now, I'll contact you if I've got any new leads" he said
"Thanks a lot detective " my mom vibrantly said to him smiling
"you're welcome " he said then makes his way out of the room.
"mom did the doctors say anything about my baby" I asked her as i hoped for the best
Her face turns all pale and upset.
"the doctor said your baby wasn't affected" she said with a face of disappointment.
"oh thank God " my face lite up with a huge smile.
"yeah whatever " my mom said irritated.

Three days passed after I was discharged from the hospital, I sat in the living room, my mind had wondered around thinking of who could have killed Joel.
My phone vibrates several times but I was lost in my thoughts and didn't know I had a call.
My mom walked down the stairs as she notices my mind had gone somewhere else as my phone kept vibrating.
"Dear are you okay? " she asked me, but I gave her no reply.
"Allie!!!" she yelled out loud as she tapped me on the shoulder, my body shocked it felt like I had a trans
"yes"
"your phone is ringing" she said staring at my phone
"oh" I picked up my phone in a heist
"it's detective robles" I said to her.
I picked the call as quick as I could
"Good afternoon sir"
"good afternoon, I've been calling you"
"sorry I wasn't with my phone, is there any new update"
"yes, please come to the station, we've found the person who sent the message, we're about to interrogate him"
"okay i'm on my way" I said joyfully
The call ends and I rushed up from my chair as I head to the stairs
"why did he say" she asked
"they've found the person who sent the anonymous email to me"
"oh" my mom said in shock
"yes" I rushed up to my room to get properly dressed
I wore a pair of jeans, black T-shirt and flats as I rushed down the stairs heading to the station.
I got downstairs in a rush, I couldn't help but notice that my mom looked very worried.
"mom is everything okay" I asked her.
She seemed shocked when she heard my voice.
"yes I'm just worried about you" she said taking in deep air putting on a false smile which didn't last on her face for too long.
"Are you sure, I hope there's nothing you aren't telling me"
"No, I'm just wondering, did Joel ever have any deals with any street boys or anyone dangerous"
"mom I don't know" I said.
************
I rushed into the station in search of detective robles, but I was told he was in the middle of interrogating someone, so I patiently waited.
Few minutes later detective robles got out of the interrogation room, our eyes had jammed, I could see he looked really stressed and dissapointed.
I approached him for the latest update.
"I'm here " I said to him desperately
"well we located the IP address of the phone used to send you the email and text message, we found the phone abandoned somewhere in someone's backyard, the phone had been flashed and had no SIM on it, nothing was left in the phone not even the email or text." he paused for a second
"we decided to find where the phone was purchased from, we finally got the name of the person who purchased it, we got his info, so we contacted him and brought him in for questioning, but the man claims that he lost his phone a week ago. He said he tried getting it back but couldn't, also he says he has an alibi. But we're still going to investigate him, would you like to see the man, maybe you know him"
"okay sure "
The detective takes me to take a proper gleams of the suspect, but he couldn't see me.
"do you know him "
"no, not at all" I furrowed my brows thinking of what my mom had said.
Detective Robles noticed my worried face
"is anything the matter "
"my mom asked me if Joel had any dirty deals or had issues with bad people"
"do you know any of his friends that were involved in bad things"
"no, he had only few friends, but I barely knew them"
"okay, we will go through all his contacts let's see if we can find something"
"thanks a lot"
