"Clara..." "Are you with me or not?!" Clara snapped moving away from her sister. "I know this is hard on you...." "You only know but you'd never understand the weight of it!" Clara's eyes were red from all the crying. "I just lost my job over something I know nothing about Ellie! I just got fired, dumped like some trash because no one wants a murderer for a waitress". "You're not murderer!" Ellie corrected sharply. "Then help me clear my name!!!" She sniffed, "you're the only one that knows I'm innocent, the world out there doesn't know that! I can't live with this stigma Ellie", the tears began rolling again, "will I let you cater for the both of us while I sit on the couch all day like an old hag, will I ever marry? If i do, my kids would be taunted about their mom being a murderer". "Stop saying the word, murderer!" Ellie snapped walking up to her. She had dressed up already, ready to go get some stuff at the mall before her shift in the afternoon. "Clara", she exhaled and h
I really can not apologize enough guys.. I had issues with my phone but I'm back. I just hope you guys haven't given up on Ellie and Clara, we still have to figure out who framed her and ultimately, who the real killer is. There's still much to the story. I know I haven't written in months and it might be hard to keep up with the storyline but there's a lot if you keep on reading guys, trust me.. Just keep on reading and commenting and leaving your nice reviews, and it's gon' be a steady update from now, I promise. My deepest apologies guys.. I missed you all
She might have acted calm and collected before Clara but she knew how she stayed up all night, the day Clara was released, wondering on their next step.'Should they move?''Might it have just been a coincidence that night?"Many thoughts running through her mind, but Tyler told her to forget all about it."Clara's out now and we all are safe and alive, that's what matters". Those were his exact words to her.And again, how the hell did she get to trust this guy so much?!"Hey!" She tapped lightly but Ellie flinched in fright."Ugh, sorry", she laughed lightly, "you've been standing at this point for some minutes, are you indecisive on whether or not to get it?"It all hit Ellie as a parable but she eventually understood those words."Right! Sorry", she apologized and moved away allowing the lady shop."We don't even have a place to run to if we're to move", she sighed and walked to the counter to pay."I'm just gonna work hard to provide for the both of us, this would eventually die
When Ellie finally opened her eyes, she couldn't decipher where she was. It was a room, quite alright, probably the basement of a house. She heard sounds down the stairs, she tried to stand but the rope tugged at her waist and chest.Right! whoever it was tied her up. She was breathing heavily when whoever it was got to her. Ellie knew she knew the face but where?"Hi", Kim smiled taking a seat in front of her."What do you want?""To talk, that's all", Kim shrugged.Ellie glared at her, "I'm serious. I just wanna talk", Kim smiled."Then why kidnap me!""Would you have followed me quietly?" Kim arched a brow at her and Ellie didn't answer, "exactly!", She pursed her lips."I've seen you somewhere", Ellie struggled on her chair."Oh honey, I would love to untie you but you're stubborn", Kim pouted, "yeah, I came by the restaurant before".It clicked.She caused a scene once and Tyler seemed to know her."You know Tyler". Ellie said."Oh, now you remember me", Kim smiled, "yes honey,
Ellie later called Tyler at evening. They spoke at length and she took permission for a week to take care of her 'health'.And now, Jack was seated in their living room, as they discussed about it."Bessie would have confirmed all these for us", he noted and Clara nodded, she didn't know who this Bessie was, but Jack had briefed her."So where do we start?" Winter chirped excitedly."We're gon' have to start from the very beginning. Every single thing we think we know. It's not just a coincidence that Clara was the elevator that night, her print was found on the knife and more, that means someone had been watching her well enough to know she lived in this building and next to Mr James", Ellie stated.Clara crunched her face up in thought. It just occured to her a few days ago that she can't really remember much from the night and before the night."You okay?" Nina who was seated next to her, asked."Yeah", she nodded."How often did his son come around Nina?" Jack asked. She had told
"Gosh I'm wasted" Clara chuckled staggering on her way home. She has always been this high spirited and free and today, she felt she owed herself a drink and she made a go for it tonight."Good a thing I have no where to go tomorrow" Clara smiled as she approached the building."Ellie should spare me the sermon tonight" she hissed. Clara lived with her elder sister, Ellie brooks, they had lost their parents five years ago and managed to pick the pieces of their lives and start off somewhere. Not that they had no relatives, none except one was willing to help, but they couldn't live by her crazy rules, so they left and luckily, they found a way out of their misery after a year of roaming the streets. They're certainly not at the level they were while their parents lived buh at least they could eat and foot the bills, even if late."Wait for me!" Clara yelled to lady inside the elevator before it could close and she put her hand out to prevent it from doing so."Thanks" she smiled sweet
"Hi, sorry for the delay and all, what can I get you?" Ellie smiled as she handed the couple the menu."I could start you off with some drinks though" she chipped."Champagne would do, we'd have our orders ready by then" the elderly woman smiled and Ellie slightly bowed before rushing off."Such a beauty" she complimented to the hearing of her husband"Not as yourself" he winked"Oh honey" she blushedEllie arrived with the wine and two glasses, "here" she smiled, placing the glasses well on the table before pouring out the content from the bottle."I'll be right back" Ellie smiled after jotting down their order."The boss wants to see you" her colleague said to her and she sighed."Please help me get these to table fifteen" she said to the girl who nodded and left pushing the trolley along.Ellie adjusted her clothes and her hair, she hesitated before giving a knock."Ellie?" She heard his voice from within"Yes sir"she replied loudly"Come in" "You sent for me?" She said standing b
From the reports he had gotten... he'd go over the CCTV footage a couple of times looking for God knows what. The robust bastard lived for moments like this, it was his purpose. He wanted a thorough job done, after all, it was murder. "The test results are out" an officer announced walking to his table."Thanks" he managed o mutter without looking up from what he had his eyes fixed on. Not until after the officer had left did he open the envelope he was given. As suspected, they all matched, next in line was to find a match amongst the neighbors, though Clara popped up in his mind at first thought.Looking at the young damsel, he would never tag her a murderer, she looked so innocent but he had come across a few during his working days with such an appearance.Staring at the result, he grunted before releasing a sigh, the Brooks would really be tired of seeing his face.**"Babe over here" Thomas beckoned from the room as Carly catwalked to her bare chested hunk of a boyfriend.
