2024-10-29 19:42:56"are you even listening" Kyle asked.
"Uhhh yeahh, of course" Cheryl muttered."You seem lost" he said tracing her eyes which landed on a girl sitting at the other end of the restaurant."Do you know her" he asked."Some bitch I ran into today" she said glaring at the girl."You look uneasy since you came" Kyle queried, "you suggested this dinner" he said."I'm fine" she muttered still glancing at her phone which made a beeping sound almost immediately."I'll take my leave first" she said and left before he could say anything."What's up with her" he muttered and rushed after her but couldn't find her as he stepped out."Yes I'm on my way" he heard behind him and turned to see the girl Cheryl was glaring at, leaving the restaurant."I'm really worried about her" he said and his phone rang."Where the hell are you" his superior yelled.
"There's been another murder on woods avenue" he said."I'm close by" Kyle said rushing out."We are on our way" the superior said and hung up.Sirens could be heard as the police rounded the area. They were patrolling, looking for every clue.
"Detective Kyle" his superior called out."Yes sir" he replied, "two bodies have been found so far and as usual their hearts are ripped out"."This is all so confusing" the man said and immediately a loud cry was heard not far from them.They rushed to the scene which was so dark, to see the masked killer about to finish a girl who begged dearly for her life."Freeze" detective Kyle yelled taking slow strides towards them."Still as handsome as ever, we meet again" the masked lady yelled with her knife still raised above the girl."I killed you" he said."I never die" she smirked, "today's your lucky day" she said to the girl and faced Kyle."Don't move" he said tightening his grip on his gun, "let her go" he said again."How about a little surprise" she smirked and slowly took off her mask."Cheryl" Kyle muttered as his shoulder dropped.With that she dug the knife into the girl's thigh and took a sharp bend as the police shot aimlessly at her. "It can't be" he muttered falling on his knees, taking a look at the girl on the floor he gasped. It was the same girl from the restaurant.The twins, Cheryl and Cherish Roberts are the only children of their parents, Mr&Mrs Roberts living in L.A.

She was dressed in black as usual but her face wasn't covered as she was just taking a stroll, when she heard ruffling in a corner. Moving closer she heard muffled screams that sounded feminine and she smiled and took the bend. Immediately she did that, she saw a guy trying to rape a young girl, while she cried for help."She does seem homeless" Laurel muttered to herself as the duo couldn't notice her through the darkness though she was not hidden."And to think she's rejecting, when I haven't had a fuck in two days" she scoffed walking towards them."I won't struggle" she said loud enough to gain their attention."Get lost" the guy growled."Wrong reply" she smirked and threw her knife which met with the guys rib and he screamed in pain, as he turned to run, she threw another that met with his thighs causing him to fall. Walking towards him, she bent over him and smiled,"We both could ha

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?

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

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.

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?
