I own nothing, but OCs and grammar mistakes :D bear with me :D
Sarah packs my belongings in the bag and throws it to me. I catch it easily and flash her the grin
"Come on, Sarah!" I pout "can't you at least be nice with me? It's not like we'll me again" she shoots me the glare
"That's what I'm looking forward" she frowns "I son't have any wish to see you again" I sigh dramatically
"Do you really think that I'm crazy, Sarah?" I ask her with fallen face
"Lissa..." her glare disappears "I don't hate you..." she comes near me and pats my shoulder "I've the daughter around your age so I know how to handle with them" she tries to smile "and I know you aren't crazy.. Broken maybe but not crazy. Did you know that I've been here all the time when you had break down? I was calming you down and singing so you could sleep property..." I freeze. My eyes are widened in shock and my mouth is dried
"B..but.. you... that attitude...?" I can't find my voice. She chuckles
"Come one, girl!" she tries to cheer me up "and you say you pay attention?" she grins at my shocked face "you are a second daughter to me, Lissa. I love you very much too... I was trying so hard so you couldn't notice I cared about you until you left. I didn't want you to think like you owe me as it happened with James" I shake the head stubbornly
"No way, Sarah! You had to tell me! I thought you couldn't stand me!" I protest her decision
"Well that happened already, you can't change something" she giggles. My head drops on my chest with sigh
"God!" Sarah embraces me, I put the head on her shoulder and hold the breath
"Remember what James told you, Lissa" she reminds me "you are always welcome here" she strokes my hair "I'll make sure this room will be always ready for you. James said he'll help me to decorate it so you can really think it's your own bedroom and not the room for patients" I nod. I feel my eyes tear up. I drop the bag and wrap the arms around her shoulders
"Thank you, Sarah, that you so much. You've no idea how lot it means to me" I sob in her chest. She rubs my back so I can calm down a little
"Come one now, Lissa" I wipe tears away "better?" I laugh loudly
"You are a very good caretaker, Sarah. I think you can help your sister-in-law" her eyes almost are popped out. I chuckle "did you really think it wasn't easy to see similarities between you and James You two are siblings, it's as obvious as my name is Alice"
"I guess I can help Anna with the kid" says Sarah when she recovers from shock
"It's a boy, isn't it?"
"I won't ask you how do you know that" she grins
"You better not"
"Okay now, Ms Obvious, take this damned bag and return to your house" I close eyes
"I've to buy the cellphone first"
"Money is in the bag, kid" she puts the bag in my hands and flashes the paper before my eyes "those are James and mine numbers. You know you can call us anytime" I grab it tightly
I always hated to admit my defeat. Mom used to be so angry about my stubbornness but I thought it was good think and it meant I was strong. How wrong I was. I never realized this until I didn't lost everything I'd in my life.
Standing in the middle of the street, I looked around miserably. There's no thing I recognize. Where the hell am I? And where the hell is my house? Those are questions I needed to answer immediately, the others could wait. I could catch the taxi but I didn't know the address so this didn't help. Sarah once told me I was in Sacramento, California but what was I doing here? Why the hell was I in the USA when I wasn't living there?
Realization hit me too hard. I told the wrong dream version to the police. I wasn't coming back from school when that happened. I remembered everything clearly. What I needed was to search for CBI and tell the agents the truth.
I crossed the road and stopped the taxi
"Hello, there" the driver greeted
"Hi. Can you bring me to the CBI HQ?" I asked as politely as I could
"Of course, sit. Did something happen yo you, young one?" he asked when I opened the door and sat
"No, sir" I shook the head "I've someone to see there"
"Alright" we drove in silence until the car didn't reach the CBI. I pain the driver and inhaled deeply
'Calm down, Lice. You can do it. There's nothing to worry about. You will tell the watchman, you've to see Agent Lisbon and you'll explain everything to her. See? That's easy'
I exhaled and crossed the road again. The watchman stopped me and asked my name
"Who are you and what are you doing here?"
"Name's Alice Lorens. I'm here to meet Agent Lisbon about the case"
"What case?" I shot him deadly glare
"Sir, I just want to meet Agent Lisbon to talk about the case. You've to know that I can't tell the passer-by about it, right?" I asked him in sweet voice. His expression changed as soon as he hear my words. He shook the head and murmured
"I'll go, call Agent Lisbon" he left immediately. Then he returned and said I could go "the bullpen is on the fourth floor, Ms Lorens" he let me though the gates
"Thank you, sir" I waved him and sighed
'Step 2, Alice. Enter the building and tell the secretary, you are allowed above. Nothing particular. Nothing at all'
I went though the glassed door and almost bumped into someone. I apologized immediately and examined him. The Asian man about 30s with stoic face. Exactly who I wanted to meet. Damn you, Alice! He looked down at me and shook the head
"Who are you, girl?" he asked coldly
"Alice Lorens" I noticed my name made a sense. Voila! I'm saved! He nodded ad replied
"Follow me, Boss is waiting for you" I followed him to the elevator. He pressed the 4. The door opened and I saw the bullpen. The man pointed towards the brown leather couch
"Sit here and wait" I shrugged and did what I was told. I noticed the red-haired pretty woman who seemed to be new here, watching at me carefully. She avoided my gaze and turned to the tall man who was eating
"Wayne, I guess I found something" the man swallowed and replied
"What is it?"
"The last call wasn't made by the victim. She was already died when they called her daughter. It seems to be the killer but what I find strange is that Ms Lender said she didn't receive the call. That has to be truth, her phone was in the car when she was with her friends"
"I'll go, talk to the Boss" Wayne guy put the sandwich on the desk and grabbed the results. He knocked on the door Asian man had disappeared though
"Come in" I heard woman's voice and he stepped in the office. I looked the woman before me and talked
"I don't think she's lying"
"What?" she snapped when heard my voice
"the daughter" I explain "you said her phone was in the car but someone talked to the victim, right? It's possible the killers had both phones. This way they could make the call and answer it too so they could lie easily and the call wouldn't be in missed calls list"
"Why are you so sure?" she asked doubtfully. I shrugged
"Better question the daughter again and ask her who gave her the ride. Women never leave their phones n the cars. It's obvious the car wasn't hers. Someone drove her where she went"
"You mean the guy who gave her the ride, made sure her phone was left so he could answer the call and make the scene as if the daughter and the mother talked?" I grinned slyly
"Exactly" she blinked in astonishment
"How do you know tha...? she was cut off by the voice
"Van Pelt, good job" the red-haired smiled and nodded. Lisbon who existed the cabinet, turned to me
"Let's go in my office, Ms Lorens, so we can talk without interrupting"
I followed her in the room. The men had left while I was talking to Van pelt so we were alone. She sat across the desk and pointed me before her. I sat down and sighed
"So what did you have to tell me?" she asked softly
"Agent Lisbon, I know when you and Mr Jane questioned me, I didn't give you anything that could help but what I told you wasn't truth" Lisbon frowned
"Are you saying that you lied?" I shook the head
"No, of course. Look..." I inhale deeply "I've lots of nightmares and what I told was one of them. That day I wasn't at school. I was returning from my friend's house when I found them died"
"Why weren't you at school?" I bit by bottom lip and drew the blood
"I...that day was... my birthday, ma'am"
So, here's another chapter. I hope I would be able to update tomorrow too XD but I'm not sure yet. Fortunately tomorrow is Friday and I'll be free for awhile from school. XD Hmm...
