"so you're angry she showed up at the gym or what?" Karina scoffed."She just ruined both my plans and her plans" Kyle groaned, "I was supposed to act like I didn't know they were two people""You said she disappeared without your knowledge, there's every possiblity she didn't see the caller" Riley said."That's true" Kyle muttered."I keep asking, how the hell you the cop here" Riley grinned and Cheryl knocked her, "kid I could still beat you up""How old are you?" Karina asked "I'm twenty one""Tsk, not much diff""I guess you both the same age then""You just gon' act same way, like you know nothing alright?" Cheryl aid patting Kyle, "it's up to her to reveal whether or not she saw the caller""Mom's being pretty weird this days Kyle" Karina blurted unknowingly"Girl you're whole family's weird" Riley laughed earning a glare from the siblings."Just do you kyle" Cheryl said"When the hell you gonna start calling him babe" Riley scoffed and Kyle blushed, "see??""Shut it Ley""So?"
"mom""Mom""Mom" the girl called out sleepily, she didn't know why but she had this throbbing headache and she just needed a pat from her mom to fall back at sleep."Mom" she called standing in front of the door, stretching her hands forward, she screamed. ****1st July....Weakened as ever, Laurel stood out the balcony staring at the environment, she didn't feel the same, beads of sweat gathered on her forehead as she felt the need to puke again. It's a new month, she had to present three hearts again, she felt like she was used, she had always felt this urge to kill for some years now, but recently, she'd been feeling different. She's been blank, she hadn't stepped out in weeks, the city of LA had calmed a bit, she heard detective Kyle had returned to duty but that was the least of her problems, she kept changing locations, she wondered why she had to do the killing job, she's a fucking girl, Randy was a man and then the doorbell caught her off."Speaking of the
"Kyle you need to see this" Karina rushed into his room."Karina I'm not in the mood""for once put our shit aside and look at what I'm showing you" she yelled and he sighed taking the phone from her, his eyes widened and the phone fell off his hands, but she was quick to catch it, "what the... don't take it out on my phone, do something!" she yelled and stormed out."Cheryl" he called in shock dialling her line immediately but she didnt pick, he called again and she picked."Cheryl""do you have any fucking idea" Riley growled."where's she?""I put her to sleep""I swear I'mma kill her""do it already, you're not the one having to hide, right now, she can't step out I hope you know that?""Riley.. ""don't call me unless you have a solution to this, I don't wanna take laws into my hands""what is that supposed to mean""trust me, you don't wanna know" she gritted and the line went dead."Ley" Cheryl called out sleepily"hushhhh, just go back to sleep, I'm right here" Riley said and
"I want to see Kyle""Cheryl""Mom, I'm serious""Riley called, he should be here in a few""I'll be up in my room" Cheryl muttered and left for her room.Minutes later, the doorbell rang and Mrs Roberts went for it."Kyle""Mrs Roberts""She's up in her room""Thanks ma'am""It's all for my daughter" she smiled and he headed for the stairs."Cheryl?" He called out knocking softly on her door and she opened immediately."Hey" she greeted."Hey" he responded as he stepped into the room."Thanks for coming""I should have come earlier and not wait for you to request my presence""I heard she killed last night""Its the same Cheryl""What are you doing about it""What can I do""You are Kyle, and the Kyle I knew, the Kyle Los Angeles knows ain't one to slack""I'd protect you with everything in me""Protect this city first" she muttered and his eyelids parted ways as he woke up."What the heck was that" he looked around stretching his body while on the bed, "Cheryl" he muttered and rushed
"Layla return these dresses please" Mrs Roberts said."Ma'am the recent Chanel dresses brought has been sold out but the demands are still coming in" Layla reported"Gosh I'm tired" Mrs Roberts rubbed her forehead, with all the recent happenings in her daughter's life, she hasn't paid much attention to her business."Just hang those" she said tiredly."Yes ma'am" Layla said and turned buh squeeled on seeing Cheryl"Ma'am Cheryl""Layla, what's up""You're being scarce" Layla pouted."I'm here now" Cheryl smiled and walked up to her mom."Hey""When do you ever address me like that? And why are you here?""Am I banned from your boutique now?" She laughed."Okay that's new, you were all sober this morning""Was I? How are things with you mom, I've been a bit selfish, you look lean""Should I be scared or?""Fine since you don't wanna talk about you, let's talk about me""Like you were ever bothered about me" her mum scoffed."Not like you were ready to open up, you don't always have to
"mom don't""What?""Don't change the darn subject""You don't wanna draw your dad's attention do you?""Well I'm here already" her dad said behind them."Dad?""Honey, you should rest, you have a big day ahead of you""That I'm busy doesn't make me a fool or anything, you guys have been acting weird lately, don't think I won't notice because I work late into the night""Dad, it's nothing""So this is nothing?" Her growled raising his phone to their eye level and Cheryl felt her heart leave her body, she had totally forgotten about that video."I didn't do any of those dad, trust me""Of course, I know my antisocial daughter better""I ain't antisocial" Cheryl frowned."That still doesn't answer my question, what the hell is going on under my roof" he growled as the females exchanged glances."Honey let's sit" his wife gestured towards the dinner."I'm listening" he said when he was seated "So we know..I mean all citizens of LA when I was we""Keep going" "...the serial killer has t
Newton's Residence:At night::"Hey?" Karina called peeping into Kyle's room"You still awake?""Obviously, you too""Something's not right" they said at once."You go first" Kyle said."Okay so I met with Riley and Cheryl and we figured out something""What?""If this killer has Cheryl's face and Cheryl had a twin, it means, that her twin's face""Her twin is dead Karina""I know.. we know that""So? What's your point exactly""Her sister was admitted as Cedar-sinai Hospitals""That's mom's hospital" he said"Exactly, but then Cheryl said they saw her face at the burial, the coffin was opened before she was buried""So you're saying...""She wasn't buried" they said simultaneously."I might go crazy soon""So what's yours?""There's a spy at the station?""What the?""Exactly""While she was alive, she found out I was put on the case the very moment it was announced and many other occurrences""This is really frustrating, we don't even have any lead whatsoever, we don't know what she
"What exactly are you doing here princess, you've never come here" Mr Roberts asked but she was lost staring at Kylan's retreating figure."Huh?""Did your mum direct you? Does she know you're here?""Father, you talking like you ain't happy to have me here""You've never showed up at my workplace honey and I'm on my way out" he said pecking her before going to meet Mr Newton."You're late""I'm sorry sir" Mr Roberts apologized."Are the files with you?""Yes, here sir" he replied showing him the briefcase where he packed the files."Morning Mr Newton" Cheryl greeted."Is she?""Yes sir, Cheryl""Perfect resemblance to cherish, she was full of life when she was alive" the old man smiled."Dad!""Princess""Morning Mr Roberts""Cheryl?" Karina called surprised."Hey" Cheryl smiled."You said you weren't going out today""I had to come see my dad""You know her?" Mr Newton asked his daughter."Yeah, she's Kyle's.... friend, friend yeah""Kyle keeps female friends now, wow" her dad smile
JUDGE:: Based on considerations, I hereby sentence the defendant to ten years imprisonment. This sentence reflects the gravity of offense committed and harm caused to victims and their families. ***The court session was over and Sawyer was led out. The rest of her accomplices were caught and sentenced to twenty years imprisonment including Randy but Laurel was sentenced to life improvement without the possibility of parole.The reporters were scattered outside as they led Sawyer to the van in cuffs. A tear slipped from Karina's eye as she watched her mom being taken away on TV. She hadn't gone for the court session, she stayed at the hospital with her dad. Kyle didn't attend either, but Kylan did. Karina jerked when she heard struggles, she turned to her father to see him struggling for his life, she dashed out to get the doctor but it was late, the old man had given up the ghost after seeing his wife on TV.Her tears could fill an ocean if they let her, the
The police had surrounded their residence the following morning and Sawyer was ready. She felt bitter at how things had turned out but not regretful, if she was given a chance to go back in time, she would have done exactly the same thing.Kylan had left earlier for work, he knew he wouldn't be able to concentrate but he couldn't stay and watch his mom being carried away. Karina on the other hand wouldn't stop crying, she hated the woman in front of her right now, but she still remains her mom, and she loves her mom dearly. Kyle had turned laurel in earlier that morning, along with the documents his mom showed him. He remained at Spencer's house, he can't watch his own mom being cuffed and taken out, then there's Cheryl."I would just stay here till my end comes" he had said to Spencer the night before.Mr Newton couldn't understand a thing that was being said, he didn't even hear it, all his focus was on Sawyer who couldn't look him in the eye."Honey" he would mutter every three sec
"shit!!"..."Spencer?!!" Cheryl called "Spence!""Uhh, Cheryl, yeah, can I get back to you, I'll find him" Spencer chuckled"Where is he?!" She yelled and he swallowed nothing."Where are you?" She asked."Somewhere?" His throat went dry."Address?""The bar by the bridge?""You guys drinking?!" She yelled"Don't move I'm coming!!" She yelled and ended the call."I'm dead" he cussed as he held the steering wheel tightly.In a few minutes, she showed up.."Where's he?" She asked."Get in, I'd explain on the way" he said and she got in, in confusion though."Okay, so he called me to meet up and before I could get here, I met him with...you" he dropped the bomb but her brain couldn't seem to process what he just said."And I'm surprised you just called me that you're not with him when you just drove off with...""You left him with laurel!!!!" She suddenly grabbed his hair."Ahhhh!!! Cheryl!!" He cried and she released him"I'm driving and I'm sorry, I didn't look well, we'll find him" h
Cheryl knew better than to be out at night, as it stands, her face was known to all citizens of Los Angeles. Laurel needed to go, Cheryl needed her freedom."Riley?" Cheryl called"Hmm""Should I leave?" She asked"Sorry what?""Maybe I should leave and come back when all of this is over" Cheryl muttered and Riley stared t her. It wasn't a bad idea now she thinks of it. Cheryl needed that break, not just Cheryl, all of them. She had just lost her twin and has been to prison already for some psycho who has her face, she needed that break, the whole family did."Now I think of it, it's not so bad" Riley smiled.She hasn't left their house since Cheryl returned, they've practically turned sisters."Y'all should go" she said."We all?""Yeah.. y'all...you, mom, dad.. all of you" Riley shrugged"All this would be over, I trust Kyle""I don't think dad would want to leave" Cheryl muttered."Well tell him you want to, if he won't, you should leave either ways" Riley stated."We can talk to K
Two days later...."Are you nervous?" Karina asked squeezing her palm"Not really" Cheryl breathed"More like curious... To know what's on the inside" she smiled, "you have a beautiful home" she complimented"Liar" Karina muttered and they laughed before stepping in."Welcome ma'am" the maids kept greeting"As expected" Cheryl smiled taking the beauty in as she stared around"More like searching for my brother's room" Karina teased"Fuck you" Cheryl chuckled and they laughed."To my room then" Karina giggled as she dragged her upstairs."Wow" cheryl gasped as they stepped in. It's in all white and pretty twice her own bedroom."You like?""Love... It's beautiful" she said walking to her closet"Mind if I do?" She asked and Karina nodded before she tore the door open"I could literally live in your closet" she gasped as they entered."I see you love collecting bags" she said and Karina laughed"Not my fault" Karina smiled"It's really nice""I know" Karina rolled her eyes"Fool" Cheryl
"Randy" Riley smiled as he approached her with a smirk playing on his lips"Little Miss Runner" he teased and she smiled trying to hide her fear."What brings you here?" She asked"Followed you" he shrugged"Followed me?""Yeah""How exactly do you know I'm here?""That's my problem, not yours" he smiled and took a step closer."Is something wrong?" She chuckled"You can sense it too?" He asked and she gulped trying to maintain her balance as her legs shook"I guess the full name's Riley" he smiled and that only worsened her situation"I see you did a background check" she smiled"You really don't have a family so that ain't completely background" he laughed and she felt the rage growing inside"You sure are interesting, I love your moves" he smiled still taking a step closer until their lips were inches away from each other and then God smiled at her as her phone rang.She blinked as he moved back abit and she picked her call"Just know you're buying me lunch" Kyle said and she smil
The sun seated with it's dazzling rays in the sky brightened the city as it had reached DawnKylan walked lazily to his brother's room and entered, they have never learnt the habit of knocking on each other's door before barging in.He enters to meet an empty room and sound of rushing water in the bathroom"Where's he off to this early?" He scoffed but sighted a little jotter at the end of the bed and went for it."Kylan?" Kyle called coming out of the bathroom"Morning bro, what's up?" He added walking to his closet but received no response from Kylan"Is something wrong?" He asked and turned, that was when he sighted the book in his hand. Rushing to him, he snatched the jotter and Kylan looked up slowly with an undefined expression"Is this some joke" he muttered in a quaky voice and Kyle kept mute"Answer me!!" He yelled "Don't go through my stuffs, brother" Kyle replied"Since when do we not go through each other's stuff" he yelled back"Keep your voice in check, you don't wanna
The sound of loud music blaring at the clubhouse was deafening but she cared less as she stepped in"I might as well have a sip" Riley smiled walking in"Hey beauty" a guy walked up to her"Fuck off" she spat"You're boring""You're a wacko" she retorted"Vodka would do" she smiled at the bartender and he nodded"Hey" a guy sat beside her"Thanks" she muttered as her drink was brought"Do I know you?" She asked"You don't come to a club to meet someone you know" he smiled"Maybe I did" she whispered in his ears and he held her waist"Let go" she said and he smiled"I love guys that are obedient""Why don't you let me show you how obedient I can be?""Why don't you let me finish my drink" she bit her bottom lip staring into his eyes."It's gon' be a long night" she smiled as she looked around before her eyes landed on him"The fact that he doesn't even hide" she scoffed and stood up"You leaving?""It's too loud in here" she smiled"I know a place quieter" he grinned boyishly"Take a b
"and you think she'd want to see you, her mom won't even spare you a chance" Spencer said to Kyle. The news that Cheryl had been released got to him, the joy he felt was like that of a man whom his wife had just put to birth. The sparkles in his eyes and a smile which seem to have forsook him a long time ago reappeared on his lips as Spencer held him down."I just want to see her, I want to make sure she's okay" he said"She is!" Riley said walking in"Why didn't you tell me she's back?" Kyle asked"Cause she didn't want you to know, more like she needed you to find out on your own" Riley shrugged."How's she?""Who? You mean Cheryl?" Riley asked, "alive" she answered herself"It's Cheryl we're talking about, she's fine" she smiled, "but...""But?""I'm afraid she'd do something crazy soon, she's changed, I'll let you see her this evening when her mom is out"."Thanks" Kyle smiled.***"To think I trusted you mother" Kyle sniffed in"I said to myself countlessly, every night, I assur
