"Spencer" Kyle yelled
"What's up" Spencer replied walking over to him."Look at what I found" he said bringing out a small note from his bag."The masked lady?" Spencer asked."Yes.. look over here, she...""Kyle just let this slide" Spencer said and Kyle couldn't believe his ears."What did you say""I'm being concerned, you got injured thrice by her, these past months, what if it takes your life" Spencer said."That's why I'm a cop, we put our lives on a case, I'd rather die trying to save lives than sit like a coward and watch the lives of those I'm supposed to protect be wasted like it means nothing" he said."Rex is on the case" Spencer said."Why do you act like she's your girlfriend or sister? Are you working with her? Come to think of it, my question earlier" he said."What do you think of me" Spencer scoffed, "I don't know her" he said." Then listen to what I have to say" he said, "look at this, for the past three months I've been after her, her escape routes leads to two places" he said."What" Spencer asked."Just fucking listen" Kyle said , "the killings at hillview avenue has been the highest and there is a probability she lives around the area, most times her routes always leads to a dead end, it's close to a river, more like waterfall" he said."So you're saying she's mermaid" Spencer chuckled"Fuck you man" he laughed."But this is good progress" Spence said"I know right" Kyle said feeling satisfied with himself, he knew he was steps closer to catching her."You giving this to Rex" "He doesn't look like he wants to catch her" Kyle replied and Spencer gave a stiff smile walking away.Newton's construction companies::"Yes sir" Mr Roberts bowed.
"Where the hell is she" Mr Newton muttered."Honey" Mrs Newton squeeled pecking her husband."Would have left without you" he said."I'll take my leave sir, good day ma'am" Mr Roberts bowed."The plane leaves in five, how exactly are we gonna make it" Mr Newton muttered walking out. "Ain't you coming?" He asked when he noticed his wife sitting on his chair."We are not gonna make it" she said."So you did this purposefully" he said."We'd leave tomorrow or next" she said, "the party is in three days honey" she whined."But...""I know you just want to run away from work" she smiled, "I have work at the hospital too, don't worry we'd leave tomorrow and you can get all the rest you need" she pouted, "I mean, this is you're company, you don't have to show up everyday" she said."You own that hospital, you don't have to show up everyday" he scoffed."I don't" she smiled."Let's just go out, it's me and my wife" he smiled and took her hand.*************************************************
"Finally.. home alone" cherish yelled taking out cereals from the fridge.
"I think Cheryl is getting a life now" she sighed, "she's being going out lately" she smiled and switched on the television."K~drama" she squeeled, but her phone rang and she felt like crying."Yes Mom" she said sadly.
"Where are you""Home""To the boutique now""But mom""I ain't asking you to stay""Why then am I coming""To take something home""You went shopping?""Just get your ass here" he mom said and the line went dead. She rushed her cereal and ran upstairs to change, when she was done, she left. The boutique wasn't far from home, so she walked fast but someone stopped her."Cheryl" he called.
"Huh?" Cherish asked."It's been a while" he smiled."Uhhh yeah..ummm" she stuttered."Kyle" he smiled."Yeah Kyle" she smiled shortly and rushed off."She must be in a rush" he smiled ."Go Go Go Go" Rex yelled."Where the hell is Kyle" the general yelled."We don't need him" Rex smirked and drove off. They heard the news of another attack and they were rushing to the scene."Scatter and bring her, dead or alive" Rex commanded and they spread."This should better go as planned" Rex said but Laurel had already taken her escape.Taking the bend, she jumped into the vehicle and removed her mask, breathing hard as he drove to the penthouse. On reaching, Laurel suddenly felt the need to puke, she turned heading to a corner near the waterfall, but then she felt strange, like someone was watching her, she put on her mask taking out her knives, she took slow strides towards the corner she felt a person was hiding, then she heard the ruffling of leaves, confirming her thought but before she could turn, a leg kicked her knives away."I was right after all" Kyle smiled staring at her."Long time" she said."It's over" he replied."How about that fuck, no one's here" she smirked
A year later....Nothing had been the same for Cheryl since the demise of her twin sister, she was a complete shadow of herself, it seemed her soul had gone to be with her sister, she barely eats, talks or even showers, her room is always in a mess, most times she dreams of her sister, she kept blaming herself for her death, maybe if she hadn't asked about her dad, just maybe her sister would be right here by her side. Mrs Roberts had tried all she could to reach her only surviving child but the more she tried, the more Cheryl withdrew herself from not just her, her husband too. Mr. Roberts own his part felt guilty too, maybe if he had called earlier and told his wife that the meeting they were supposed to attend was cancelled she would still be alive.Certainly Kyle hasn't felt such satisfaction in a long time, it has been a year since the death of the serial killer and Los Angeles had returned to it's former glory, he couldn't be more proud of himself, he had taken other cases as we
"I'll see you around then" Kyle said to Cheryl as they stepped out of the restaurant."Sure, thanks for today" Cheryl smiled."Does that mean I can have your number" he asked and she chuckled."A cop hitting on me, cute" Cheryl laughed,"I do not have friends anyway so.. yeah" she said calling out her digits. They waved and parted ways with Cheryl walking to her mum's boutique and Kyle smiling sheepishly heading back to the station. She was close to the boutique when someone bumped into her, "hey watch it" Cheryl groaned, but the lady gasped, walking away, "weirdo" Cheryl scoffed continuing her journey.Meanwhile Laurel took another route back home, she felt restless after bumping into Cheryl. At Their New Apartment::"You won't believe what I found" Randy smiled walking in, "wait I thought you went out" he asked."Who has this face" Laurel asked smoking slowly."That's what I actually found out and you won't believe it" he smirked. "Cherish Roberts, a nineteen year old as of when sh
Kyle couldn't think straight at the moment, how he badly wants to believe his eyes are deceiving him, the shouts, the gatherings, the loud wailings only brought confusion to his soul and tears to his eyes. He saw her dead body, he was present at her burial, what went wrong? Could it be a reincarnation? Could it be a twin revenge? Or did he mess up things? He couldn't face the public, he couldn't even stare at his reflection in the mirror. He felt played, he felt ashamed of himself, she had just made a fool out him. The cries pierced his soul the more as he stared at the dead bodies.Early this morning, bodies of three high school teens were dumped in front of the station. They were brutally stab, worse than they had ever witnessed with their hearts ripped out. Their parents had rushed to report their missing children when they met the sight. People had already gathered when Kyle arrived, he pushed through the crowd and felt cold instantly. The officers managed to get Kyle because the
Cedar-sinai Hospitals LA.."Doctor Sawyer, she was brought in, examined and needs a CS" the nurse explained as she stood beside the patient's bed."Get me her records" Mrs Newton replied not taking her eyes off the patient."Yes ma'am" the nurse replied and left.She had always loved her job as a cardiologist though her parents were never happy about it. Her father wanted her to be a writer, her mum wanted her to be a nurse but she always dreamt of becoming a great surgeon. After much struggles, her dad finally agreed that if she was going to be a doctor, she'd either be a dentist or opthalmologist aside that, he won't train her and eventually disown her. She remembered crying hard that night and meeting Keith Newton, her husband, back then he was just a struggling engineer who didnt earn much but loved her dearly and she loved him too. She told him about her dream and her family's decision, and he agreed to help in any way he could. She decided she would become the surgeon she always
"Mom, dad" Cheryl yelled rushing into the house."Pumpkin" her dad smiled hugging."You're back already" her mum said coming out from the kitchen."What's wrong? Why did you have to go him? Why weren't you picking my calls?" She asked."Woah easy" her dad laughed, "I was too occupied and my phone was on silent" he explained."We had to go out for something that's why I rushed over" her mum explained."You know you could have replied my text than keeping me worried" Cheryl pouted."I'm so sorry baby" her mum pouted too and they laughed."So you're dad got ice cream for movie night, he wasn't able to get the permit" Mrs Roberts explained and her husband nodded in affirmation."It's fine, I couldn't even eat at my dinner" Cheryl scoffed."I thought so too, so I made dinner" her mum said while her dad left for his room to return the documents he was working on."You're the best" she said and headed to the dinning."Won't you at least change" her mum laughed."I just might faint on the sta
"Are you gonna tell me what's wrong now" Karina asked as they stepped into the house."Take your clothes to your room" Kyle responded walking to the kitchen but Karina had a maid send them up and followed him to the kitchen."They are up, mind telling me what I want to hear" she pressed."I met a girl""Oh no.. this is not happening.. wait you meet girls everyday, our maids are girls right?""I'll just be in my room" Kyle muttered taking an apple from the fridge."I'm just surprised that's all, Abit hurt, but go on" Karina smiled."Well I met her and we began talking..what am I saying" he chuckled."Are you being...""Shut it" he said, "we met last year twice but talked once, then I didn't set my eyes on her until recently" "What sort of love story is this" Karina scoffed."I never said it was a love story" Kyle retorted."For you to be this way over some random girl, it is one" Karina grinned taking a bite out of his apple."Hey!!! First she isn't random, and I never said I'm in lov
"Leave" Cheryl muttered trying so hard to hold the tears in."Leave already!!!" She yelled closing my eyes tightly. How could she? First I was hurt by Kyle, now some psycho from no where pops out with some gibberish. Serial killer? Is this some joke? Looks like me? Is she trying to remind me I lost my twin?"Cheryl" Riley called out softly."Get lost" Cheryl muttered and ran up the stairs.Shutting the door of her room, she threw herself on her bed and let the tears flow freely. Ain't I bound to experience peace at all? The least form of joy wouldn't hurt right? Cherish, how dare they do this to us? Is she trying to say you faked your death? What nonsense am I saying, you could barely kill a spider. She cried for some minutes before falling asleep, she was sure she'd definitely wake up with a banging headache and fever.The next day...Newton's Residence::::"Won't you go to work?" Katina nagged as she's been doing since she returned."Karina leave my room please?" Kyle muttered frust
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
