Angel’s safety is at risk as long as she is out there. I’ll release the news later today. She’s not going anywhere.”
Officer John frowned upon hearing her words and said, “We’re still investigating the case. Furthermore, she’s merely a suspect as of now. Please be patient.”
“Patient?” My mother glared at him. “How long are you guys going to wait? Can’t you see that she is the murderer? Why are you guys protecting her? What a testament to justice the police force is!” She scoffed.
Then, she pulled Angel close and said, “Fine then. If you guys are going to protect a murderer, I’ll take matters into my own hands!”
Officer John watched as my mother stormed off before saying to his assistant, “Trace Melissa’s phone.”
I wanted to listen to what he was about to say, but my spirit was tugged back to my mother’s side.
Back in the car, my mother was still fuming. She gripped the steering wheel tightly and was breathing heavily. Angel patted her back and said gently, “Calm down, Mom.” She seemed nervous as she nestled closer to my mother. “I’m scared, but I’ll protect you.”
When my mother heard her words, her expression softened “I’ll protect you too, Angel.”
Angel intertwined her fingers with my mother’s and asked, ‘Are you really going to release the news? I want her caught as soon as possible so she can never bother us again
I could feel my last bit of hope fade away as I watched a thoughtful look appear on my mother’s face.
“The police conference is tonight. I’ll make sure everyone knows that Melissa is the killer.”
