Ange woke up to the sound of her phone ringing.
"I understand that it is a Saturday morning and I'm so sorry for phoning you but it's important. I need you and Kisaiya down at the station ASAP" Officer Henry said and Ange nodded.
"Of course" Ange said as she quickly got ready. She didn't even have a shower, simply throwing her clothes on and going to get Kisaiya.
"Kis you need to get up now. We need to get to the police station" Ange explained. Kisaiya nodded but was still half asleep. Ange quickly grabbed the girl some clothes, pulled the duvet off the girl and directed her to the main bathroom.
Kisaiya returned 10 minutes later and was now more awake and dressed. They both ensured that they had brushed their hair before getting into Ange's car.
"Do you know what it is?" Kisaiya asked and Ange shook her head.
"I just got told to get there as quickly as I could" Ange explained. She looked at her phone and noticed that it was now 8 o'clock. She must have gotten the call at about 7:30.
They arrived at the police station and walked in. They were taken to a room with Officer Henry.
"So I have been told about what you saw yesterday Kisaiya and I apologise for you being almost ignored and told it wasn't important. In fact it was quite the opposite. It was very important" He explained.
"Once you left, we sent officers to the scene and noticed some difference. This note had been left. It had just been placed down as it was no wet and it has been raining recently. The note is away for DNA testing" He explained.
"What was on the note?" Ange asked.
"We do not want to cause any alarm but we are worried about the safety of yourself and Kisaiya, but mainly Kisaiya" He explained and Kisaiya's face dropped.
"Can you say more?" She asked.
"This is a picture of the note" He said and he got it for them. It was a square piece of paper with two names written vertically – Clemmie, then Kizzy. It then had a tick next to Clemmie's name.
"So he is going for me next" Kisaiya said nervously. Officer Henry didn't say anything.
"What can we do to keep her safe" Ange asked.
"So there is going to be a delay in releasing your sister's body as we want to run some more DNA tests to see if any of the DNA on her matches that on the note. Then we will run the results through our database. When is your mother due to come down?" He asked. Edina and Alistair were coming down from Scotland to visit their daughter and granddaughters' and also to see their daughter's body before it was going back up to Scotland. Ange, Chloe and Kisaiya would go up with Edina and bury Clemmie.
"On Tuesday" Ange explained. They spoke for a bit longer but nothing was going into Kisaiya's head. All she could think about was this person was out there and wanted to kill her.
"Can you give us any clues? Who knows you are called Kizzy?" He asked Kisaiya and Kisaiya shrugged.
"I don't know, I went by Kizzy more in Scotland but then my mum called me Kizzy so she would have just said that to anyone that she knew. I now go by Kisaiya because I wanted to leave my life in Scotland in the past" She explained.
"What were the reasons for leaving it in the past?" He asked.
"My mum's boyfriend didn't treat me well" She explained.
"What did he do?" He asked and Kisaiya looked at Ange worriedly.
"Don't you have all her notes" Ange asked not wanting to go into it. Officer Henry shook his head.
"He raped her" Ange said not wanting to go into things.
"Is he in prison?" Officer Henry asked and Ange shook her head.
"He's on bail. The sentencing is in two weeks" Ange said instantly regretting that she hadn't told the girl this.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Kisaiya asked close to tears.
"I'm sorry sweetie, I didn't want to worry you" Ange said.
"Okay, I will get his name and then we can investigate" Officer Henry explained and Ange nodded.
"Is there anything I can do to keep Kisaiya safe?" Ange asked.
"Just make sure someone is with her at all times. I really don't think this person would target her when she is with others" Officer Henry explained and Ange nodded. She could manage that.
"We'll manage that sweetie" Ange said kissing the girl on the head. They spoke for a bit longer before heading home.
They arrived home and Kisaiya was still emotional. Ange decided that it would be a good time to speak to her parents. She did them on facetime so that the girl could be involved and she didn't want Kisaiya to feel like she was being left out.
Kisaiya had a relatively good relationship with her grandparents as she understood that they couldn't look after her as they were getting older. She spoke to them before Ange took over and spoke about the note that was found. Ange had spoken to Kisaiya and the girl had expressed that she didn't want her grandparents knowing about the rape and she planned to keep it that way. She would never disrespect her daughter, the girl trusted her and she was not going to ruin that.
They spoke for almost an hour before hanging up. Ange snuggled up with Kisaiya and they watched some TV.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you about Pete" Ange admitted.
"It's okay. I'm not mad anymore I understand why you did it and it was just what you thought was best for me. I like that you always do that" Kisaiya explained and Ange smiled.
"You are my special girl and I would never keep anything from you unless I think that it was for your own good. I just want to protect you and I know that its hard because you have been through so much but I can try, right?" Ange said and Kisaiya nodded.
"I know you like to protect me but I've been through a lot like you said and I can cope with the truth. I know that the world isn't always a nice place. I have to deal with that" Kisaiya explained.
"You are just far too mature for 12 years old" Ange said before kissing the girl on the top of the head. She loved her magic daughter so much and couldn't imagine life any other way.
