We went back to my place as Jessica was possessed with fear .It was very unusual though for a person to play with me a horror game and the next to have the fear after witnessing a real paranormal type of activity.
Well even I wasn't stable enough as this was very traumatic for us to know that our friend is no longer with us but the question lies,
when? how? and why?
This was a mysterious riddle to solve for us so I guess we'll wait till morning to start "mission revenge" for what we are clueless about.
I even took the sheet of paper, a surprise for the detective .If I approach any other detective I might be charged by looking into my status but Chloé wouldn't do such as I am her childhood friend. perhaps she remembers that or else I'll have to pay.
The whole night we couldn't sleep.
So to keep fear further away from the spirits we prayed the whole night and sprinkled the holy water interval of every hour.
Jessica seemed to have hallucinations,
so because of that she got 105°F fever which was dreadful. I dropped her to her mom's house before 7:00 a.m.
Then I left for the mission revenge .
Well it was a 4 hour journey to reach the address including my breakfast time.
Chloé lives in another city which is very uncomfortable for me to travel .I entered the tower at 10:04 a.m. and the rich aura inside blended with mine. I took the elevator and the lift man was there to assist me .I wished him a good morning after rethinking my fate if I didn't .
He asked me,
"which floor would you like me to take you madam? "
in a British tone .
I answered by looking at the card ,
"7th floor"
he realised that I was going to meet her and asked me involuntarily to confirm and nodded a yes .
By that time the door of the elevator opened and I was at the 7th floor.
I bid him goodbye. It was amazing to find the floor that belonged to her,
"what does she do in this whole space? "
I thought and then I went to a person at the table. He greeted me and I took an appointment at 11:00 a.m. .
"One hour will pass as if a year "
said my mind .Then I suddenly thought,
"if I utilise the time to organise everything I'm gonna say it will put a good impression on her mind".
But this did not happen at all. I started thinking and then I dozed off.
At 10:59 a.m. the receptionist guy woke me up saying ,
"ma'am your appointment is at 11:00 a.m. so does the clock say."
I looked at the time and it was 10:59 a.m.! what and how will I explain to her everything!
"Calm down matilda" said my heart
"look at me I have come here like a mess" said my mind .
As the war between my mind and heart began I entered her cabin where she was sitting on a chair on the other side. She saw me and she got up from her seat.We greeted each other she asked me to sit down on the chair and then we were asking each other whereabouts and she said ,"you look a mess today and your eyes beg for sleep. Does this relate to what you are here for ?"
I remember,
"how come I forgot about this ?"
again spoke my mind. My mind seems to be talkative . Then I started sharing everything I witnessed past 24 hours and every detail was mentioned .And her eyes were filled with suspicion as she saw and heard me.
Then she replied,
"I do not believe in spirits and the story is more like made up .maybe you can publish this. If you are telling your friend who was my classmate Rival is dead true this can end up concluding you are the culprit .If you have any proof that you are in the non-guilty party then you will have to present it before we start digging" so I handed her the paper and she looked at it with disgrace not because of the blood but because of handwriting.
She said,
"her handwriting didn't change a bit"
too impressive that she remembers her handwriting although they were Rivals. Then she said,
"this paper still cannot completely prove you are not guilty but let's see where this paper takes us, this case seems interesting"
Then I asked her about the charges so she answered,
" see, you are my friend I won't charge anything to you but this case and Justice belongs to my rival so just pay 50% of the total charges in the end if you are not guilty perhaps "
And there was a handshake of a deal agreement.
Then she said that she would research a bit and if she finds any clue the first person to acknowledge is me .
I came outside and the lights went off.
Thank goodness it was daytime. In this situation a sudden blackout is enough to frighten me up.
I had to climb down 7 floors which was enough for my daily exercise. The first thing I did after reaching the ground floor was to have lunch and water.
Then I drove straight to my house and I reached by 5:30 p.m. and embraced my bed with temporary satisfaction and slept. I opened my eyes at 2:30 a.m. and I went straight to Louisa's house with a paper and a pen I wrote everything that happened and ended up the conversation with a question ,
"is this okay? "
and I passed it through the door space. After 5 minutes the paper returned with "yes".
Immediately I took the paper and I left for a new day and a new suspense to unravel in how many hours I do not know.
