Lie is needed to protect the Truth

Chapter 5 Letter

"What do you mean, Ma'am?" He asked

"He never addresses me by my first name since he prefers calling me by Katrina..." I answered trying to explain the flaw of the letter, thinking that it seems so unusual of him to call me Eika.

"May I ask why he would not address you by your first name?" he questioned me, as he took out his detective notepad.

I then continued to explain the reason for Vincent addressing me by Katrina,

"He told me that he wants to call me Katrina as there are almost no one who calls me that...like he wants to be different... like Elijah..."I replied as I look down to the letter wondering why use my first name...
Why

"Uhm ma'am, may I ask who is Elijah?"he asked broking my silent wonders.

"Ah! He's the guy with me. The one that accompanied me awhile ago." Broken out of my silent wonders I explained who's Elijah as I gesture my hands towards the door where I entered.

"What is your relation with Mr. Elijah? If I may ask." He seems to be wary on asking that last one.

"He's a childhood friend of mine, we grew up together."I said trying to show that he's clear and nothing is suspicious or something.

"Ahh..." He nodded as he wrote more information in his detective pad.

That was such a conversation ender, all I can hear now is the sound of his pen writing on his pad and the sound of my hand caressing the letter laid down on the table.

Eika

Why... I started to wonder off again as I stare the words written.

It's his, the handwriting, but how come you wrote Eika....you said you won't use that ever since everybody use it....and you said reminded you of something that you never got the chance to tell why call me Katrina.

A ringing of a phone suddenly stopped my wondering mind. I looked up to the detective as he mouthed "Excuse me ma'am" and exited to the door beside the two-way mirror.

Now I'm all alone.....

Then I remembered that there are three more pictures lying around the table on the side of the detective's seat. I know this is wrong but I'm so curious what are the other clues they've seen.

Alright, Eika calm yourself

I reached out on the third picture, a signia?

Wait it is a rose insignia!

Where have I seen this symbol? It's somewhat familiar but I can't seem to remember where I've seen it.....

As I was pondering where I've seen this rose insignia, the detective came in and shocked me as I dropped the photo back on the table.

He was holding two cups of coffee as he entered and seems to not notice that I was looking at the picture. Or maybe he just ignored it?

He placed a cup of coffee in front of me and apologize for leaving suddenly,

"I apologize for the short interruption."

"I-it's okay." I replied stuttering since my heart was still beating so fast from being shocked by his sudden entrance.
