Declan Davies

We soon got to the hotel and I parked out in front…..
Wow’! It is so huge. Sasha exclaimed and I nodded absentmindedly
Opening the car door, I alighted and she did the same at her own end …..
It feels like we are on a date! She remarked and I smiled lightly
Do you want us to have one? I asked calmly and she nodded sheepishly
Can we really do that? She asked to be sure
Of course we can !…….
*
Entering the hotel, I sighted Sinclair sitting at the corner end of the hotel
he was wearing an all black outfit with dark glasses…
We both walked towards him and on seeing us, he took off the glasses and placed it on the table …..
I can see you came with your girlfriend again. he said teasingly
Good evening Sir erm I mean Sinclair! Sasha greeted and he flashed her a smile
I took a seat opposite him and gestured Sasha to do the same …….
But why did you ask to meet us here? I asked looking around the classic hotel
That is because It would be safer here? he retorted and I chuckled softly
Are you kidding me! Why would an hotel be more safer than a police station!
he stared at me for a while and then sighed
The chief police threatened to dismiss anyone who talks about your sister, Daphne….
And why would he do that? I asked confusedly and he shrugged
I can’t say anything about that, so let us talk about you, what hint do you have? he asked, changing the conversation
It is not really a hint, it is a suspicion. I corrected a
Oh! Let me hear you out …
I glanced at Sasha before talking
Actually, I think my school principal is kind of involved
Your principal! he repeated in shock and I nodded
Why did you say so? Do you have any proof? he asked in a rush
Not really! but according to my mom, he visited her two days after the incident and sounded so eager to close to case ……….
He was quiet for some moment and then he exhaled deeply
Is there some kind of connection between Cory and your principal? he asked but I shook my head negatively
Or does your principal have a daughter within your age range? he continued and I nodded
her name is Racheal and she is my classmate. I answered and he smiled lightly
Interesting! Does she and Daphne have a close relationship? he probed on and I shrugged
Well! I can’t really say, Daphne was the friendly type so she talks to everyone…
Then what about you, What was your relationship with this Racheal of a girl? he asked fixing his gaze on me
Erm she is my ex girlfriend. I answered and Sasha scoffed
Ex girlfriend! Ex girlfriend! The detective repeated, tapping his fingers on the table and I wondered why he was laying emphasis on it …….
I think you really need to be wary of this Racheal. he said after giving it some thoughts, my intuition tells me she is the reason why her dad got involved in the case ..
I exchanged look with Sasha
Are you trying to say Racheal killed my sister? I asked picking my words but he shook his head
I didn’t say so, I only said you both need to be very Careful around her. he corrected and I sighed in frustration…..
Fine! I agreed
And lest I forget! he brought out a pen from his back pocket and handed it to me ….
I think you will be needing this!
I stared at the black pen confusedly
And why will I be in need of a ball pen? I asked with the same confused look and he chuckled softly
It is not a pen, it is a voice recorder. he corrected and I widened my eyes in surprise
It is just shaped like a pen, all you have to do is to press the t—-t device and boom, it will start recording. he explained
Wow! Can I try it? Sasha butted in and the detective nodded
She stretched forth her hands to me and I gently placed the “pen ” on her palm…..
She followed the detective instructions and to my surprise, the record notes she did were louder and clearer that I had expected….
This is really great! She remarked
Sure. The detective responded and then stood up
I need to get going now. He informed and then picked up his glasses from the table …..
Don’t forget all what I told you. he reminded as he walked out of the hotel ……..
*
There was an awkward silent between us after the detective left as we were both lost in our own individual thoughts
Just then, Sasha cleared her throat
I think we should also get going. She said glancing at her wrist watch …
She tried to stand up from the chair but I pulled her back
Not so fast young lady!
But why? She asked with an arched eyebrow
Let us have dinner before leaving. I said with a light smile
Omoo! Is this some kind of date? she asked and I shrugged
You can call it whatever you like. I answered and she grinned
A date it is then! She muttered……

Racheal Hampton

Fuming in anger, I paced up and down in my dad’s office …
He was not on seat and I was already getting impatient waiting for him
Where could he be? He probably went to one of those dumb meetings!
*
Seeing the golden necklace got me all scared and confused and at first, I thought nemesis was already catching up with me not until I heard Cory’s explanation on the house, the house where Daphne died
Oh poor Daphne!
I closed my eyes as I tried to recollect the face of the black haired girl who was always smiling and I did ….
She was so innocent and completely different from her brother who I was and still madly in love with …..
Daphne was so friendly while Declan was a complete snub…….
I sighed softly
I am sorry Daphne but it wasn’t my fault, blame it on love …, I mean I couldn’t fold my hands and watch you destroy my relationship with your twin brother…..
*
The door suddenly flung opened and my dad walked in
Dad! I called and rushed to hug him
How are you baby? he asked with a sigh and I pulled out of the hug to stare at his face
I studied him ….
Are you alright dad? I asked and she nodded slowly
Then what is with the gloomy face? I continued and he sighed again
Don’t worry Princess, it is something I can handle……
I stared at him for a moment and then faked my tears knowing my dad could not bear to see me cry but to my surprise, he walked past me to his seat …..
I widened my eyes in surprise, Did he just walk out on me?
Dad! I called softly and he scoffed
Are you done shedding fake tears? he asked in a huff, why are you even here, or do you want me to cover up for you just like I always do? he asked in sarcasm
I tried to talk but no sound came out, I was d–n speechless …..
So you should know, Declan is already suspicious of Daphne death. He added
Declan! I repeated with disbelief
Yes !Declan, the same guy you are going all crazy for. he answered dryly
Oh my gawd! This cannot happen! What do you suggest I should do! Please talk to me dad. I said in a rush and he took a deep breathe
I have been pondering over it and think it is best for you to travel out of the country till everything is all cleared out. he suggested
Travel out! No way! I blurted out and he scoffed
Is this about Declan again? he asked and I nodded
Dmn! You are not only ¢razy but you are also foolish. he paused and sighed before he continued, I think It is best I register you for a rehabilitation therapy. he completed and I smirked
Rehabilitation therapy! I muttered
Yes Princess, This is what I should have done a long time ago…
And without saying anything, I stormed out of his office in a huff ……..
Racheal! Racheal! I heard him call but I ignored him
How dare he scold at me!
