Chapter 7
There is a knock on the door as Harry is walking down the stairs to go to his lab, sighing in annoyance he turns around and goes back upstairs to answer the door. Opening the door he sees a police officer standing on the doorstep.
"What can I do for you officer?" he asks as he didn't meet the officer last night.
"I am Officer Blake and I'm here to inform a Mr Tom Riddle of the development involving the murder case is he in."
"Oh you're here to see my Dad about his mother I think he is in the living room. He took Compassionate Leave from work, come in."
Harry shows the officer to the living room then goes to his lab to experiment. He has been at it for four days straight and is getting bored. He wants to go back to school but doesn't know how to ask his dad, he doesn't want to leave his dad on his own at a time like this but he really is bored.
Going back upstairs with a frown he goes into the living room noticing the officer is still there "How's it going dad, any new information?" asks Harry as he sits on the sofa still frowning.
"Ok and they say she was robbed then beaten to death. They are testing the murder weapon for prints now." replies Tom sighing.
"Does that mean I can go back to school now?" asks Harry with a hopeful look.
"If that's what you want son, just do me a favour and behave yourself please." replies Tom in a faraway tone.
In the dimly lit living room a phone rings realising it is his work phone the officer answers it. When he is finished he hangs up then informs the family of two that he has to get back to the office as there has been a development in the case.
Three months later:
Tom is still wallowing in grief and Harry has finally had enough so he hatches a plan to get his dad's attention. He isn't really bothered if he gets into trouble.
Harry picked up his phone and dialled his friend's number to see if she is free as he really needs to get out of the boring house and go find mischief. When he has finished his phone call he tells his dad he is going to jess's house. Taking his dad's car keys off the hook he goes out the front door, gets in his dad's car, starts the engine and drives to his friend's house.
Hearing a car horn beep in the quiet street Jess gets up off the sofa and looks out the window. Seeing her friend's Dad's car she gets her coat and goes out but sees her friend in the driving seat. "What are you doing in your dad's car? He's going to go Mad." Jess says in astonishment.
"Waking him up out of his grief induced stupor" replies Harry.
"You're an idiot and no way am I getting in that car!"
Harry got angry and turned the key in the ignition and started to drive, but little did he know Jess had called the police, he continues to drive but a mile down the road…
