Dark Secrets (Thriller)

Chapter 13

Fredrick Almon wasn’t expected to arrive until the next day. His sudden sight in the police station, showed how desperate he was to find his girlfriend’s killer. Morrie offered him a seat and pulled out Melanie’s case file while Neil rested against the door frame.

“Why weren’t you worried for your girlfriend?” She asked. “You didn’t hear from her for weeks. If you were indeed the father of her child or loved her as much as her sister said, you would have checked up on her.”

Fredrick didn’t deny he has been careless with his girlfriend lately.

“I have been so busy with work. Melanie and I do not communicate much. Since I got my promotion, things haven’t been like before.”

“So, did you both drift apart?” Morrie asked, opening Melanie’s file case.

“No we didn’t. We just had our alone times. We aren’t the most communicative.” Fredrick explained.

“That’s the quickest way to kill a relationship,” Neil said walking towards Fredrick. “How were you able to go weeks without hearing from her?”
