Flaming Hearts.

Chapter Twenty Five

Maryjane's POV

I combed her black soft hair as she sat quietly looking outside the window her hands clutching my father's picture that I brought to her . Staring at her I noticed how her eyes held so much pain, she's reliving all the pain she once experienced. I slowly moved and sat beside her taking hold of her hands

" Your going to be okay, aunt Marisa says that the hospital there is the best especially for people with the your condition" I smiled at her

" I remember that night" she whispered softly as her eyes still glued at the window

" what night ? I asked curiously

" The night he died, I remember the call I got from the hospital " her voice cracked with a sob

" oh mom! I pulled her into a tight hug just as Aunt Marisa entered the room

" Everything is ready" she flashed a smile at us

I smiled back as I wiped the small tears I had. The nurse brought the wheelchair for her to sit while we headed downstairs . As soon as we reached the parking lot Aunt Marisa's mini van was parked upfront. The nurses helped her get in the car and as she was settled in the left.

" Here is the address that  the Doctor gave me the says is the best hospital in Chicago " I sighed as I handed Aunt Marisa the address

" Thanks, don't worry as soon as she's admitted for therapy I'll be giving you updates and besides my apartment is near this place so I'll be visiting her frequently" she smiled

" Thank you Aunt Marisa! I hugged her

" Don't worry,  I failed her once, I wont let that happen again"

I turned at her and opened her door then hugged her tightly as I slowly felt her hands around me

" Goodbye my sweet child, take care of yourself! Her soft voice filled my ears

" I will, take care too, please don't let anything get in the way of your recovery"

" I won't , I'll get better for you ! She smiled genuinely

After moments of solitude I decided to take some pictures with her before they left something to remind me of how much I love her I stood there and watch the car drive away to the airport to take off to Chicago , as much as I wish for her to stay I know she'll never be safe here its best for her new environment a fresh start .

Turning to leave I notice Jack coming my direction I immediately turn the other way to avoid him before he notices me but am too late as he chuns my name out aloud I stop on tracks and turn finding him standing in front of me with a bouquet of fresh red roses.

" Jack what brings you here? I ask him biting my lip

" well I heard about you're mum so I came to visit her, I brought her favorite flowers" he smiled

" oh thanks that so thoughtful but you just missed her she isn't her !

" where did she go?

" she transferred to Chicago!

" Oh! Well I guess this goes to you then" he smiled

" Thanks ..-

" Miss Maryjane Johnson !

I turned finding a familiar officer standing behind me

" yes that's me!

" Detective good day " the officer acknowledge Jack who was standing behind me

" Officer Tom is there a problem? His deep voice questioned

" No, but I will have to ask Miss Maryjane to come with me to the morgue and identify a body !

My eyes grew wide at his request my heart hammered thoroughly as we slowly went inside the hospital and head to the direction of the morgue section. We reached the area as and waited outside as the officer went to speak with the doctor in charge.

" Do you know anything about this? Jack curiosly asked

" No! I sighed

After sometime he came out and called us in. Behind the doors a room filled with drawers revealed it self

" last night some police officers discovered a body outside the morgue they brought it in and did some digging and found an id card

" what name did it have? I asked softly

" Roy Tucker !

My eyes grew wide as I could here my heart beat through my chest

" Miss Johnson please identify him so we could be sure! He states firmly

The doctor moved from the corner and slow removed the white sheets from the body that was laying on the metal table in the middle of the room . I looked at the lifeless body cold grey face and I already had an assured answer

" its him, thats Roy Tucker ! I stated firmly before I ran out and went to the washroom and to vomit I felt nauseous all of a sudden. As I came out of I found Jack standing against the wall

" you okay Doll face? He asked

" don't call me that , am going home !

" Wait Miss Johnson I need to know where you were last night" the officer asked

" What you think I killed him!

" Am just doing my job!

" okay I was at home with my friend Sophia -

" Maryjane I have been looking for you" Franko interrupted

" sorry I had an emergency, he can also asure you that I did not kill him" I barley

" were not accusing you Miss we just want to be sure!

" well if that's it I'll be going now"

" I'll drive you-

" No its okey Jack Franko is taking me home thanks for the flowers " I threw him a quick smile before I walked away followed by Franko
