Chanel

"I heard you were here, Didn't believe it though.." She said

"What are you doing here?" He asked

She shrugged saying "I'm a friend"

I stood at the door in surprise as I decided to interfere "You two know each other?"

"Oopsie" she whispered and sat down on the bed

I looked at Leo waiting for an answer "Yeah.. We do.."

"How?" I asked

"Well.. It's just-"

"We dated" she interrupted him "Now that we got this out of the way-"

"Got it out of the way?" I yelled and looked at him and saw him shrug "How do I not know any of this?"

"You probably never asked, and even if you did he would not have told you.. You see he doesn't really like mentioning me or my name much. So let's grow up and move on to the important stuff"

"What stuff?" He asked

"Something happened.." she started "I was following your mom today" she looked at me "Suddenly she was gone.."

"What do you mean she was gone?" I asked

"Disappeared into thin air"

"Maybe you just lost sight of her" He stated

"I don't lose sight of people, Leon"

"When was that?" I asked

"Just before I come.."

"Where?" Leo asked

"2 blocks away" she answered

"I'll call my aunt, maybe she went to her," I said walking out to the living room and dialling her number.

I waited for her to pick up when the line cracked "Hello?"

"Aunt Lorain?" I asked

"Chanel?" She answered

"Hey.. How are you?"

"I'm okay sweetheart. How are you?"

"I'm good.." I stopped for a second "I wanted to ask if my mom came by?"

"Pauline? No.. Why?" She asked

"She hasn't come back home yet.."

She was quiet for a while "Chanel.." she called

"Yes?"

"Don't do what I did with Irene... If she doesn't come back, Search for her.." she breathed out

"Aunt Lorain. Are you okay?"

"I'm okay.. I hope she is.." she said and hung up

What..?

I looked back to find Leo and Mia standing behind me

"So..?"

"She acted weird.. but she said that she didn't pass by"

"Told you" she looked at him

"Told him what?"

"Your mother despises Lorain and her daughter's existence.. She would never come up with visiting her.. Do you remember the last time Paulina was at her house? Don't you remember what she told you?"

"Stop it, Mia. Honestly, you are scary.. Who allowed you to follow every step of my life?"

"Irene.." she lifted an eyebrow and sat on the couch

I looked at Leo finding him looking at the floor then his eyes crashed into mine

"Paulina isn't safe, Chanel.." he said

"Well.. That's what I've been trying to fucking say" Mia commented

The door knocked which made Mia jump from the couch and Leo turn fast to the door's direction

"Leon?" Mia looked at him in a frenzy

He gestured her to not speak as he slowly walked to the door and looked through the eye and turned around quietly walking back to me and Mia

He pulled Mia closer and whispered "It's the detective"

"Patrick?" Mia asked

"Yeah.."

"Why is he here?"

"I don't know, but we shouldn't be seen," he told her "Chan, act normal.. Where are your parents? You don't know. Chanel, You don't know anything. You have amnesia, Use it" he said and pulled Mia with him inside the closet room under the stairs.

I walked to the door and opened it "Detective Patrick?" I asked "Hello.." I smiled

"Hi Miss Chanel, are your parents home?"

"No.."

"Can I come in?"

"Of course" I stepped aside allowing him in

He walked in so I closed the door and directed him to sit on the couch and sat across him

"I'm so sorry I came like that.. but there is something I need to talk to you about.."

"Sure.."

"You visited Joel Frank yesterday?" He asked

"Yes, I did.."

"Why?"

"I wanted to see if he remembers anything about the accident or me.."

"Did he?"

"No.." I shook my head and saw him look down in disappointment "Detective... What's wrong?"

"He died of suffocation this morning"

"Who died?"

"Joel, Miss Chanel"

"What?"

"You have to come to the station with me... To give a statement"

"But I did nothing.. and I wasn't there.."

"But you were one of his last visitors.."

"Okay.." I stood up feeling dizzy, my heart aching my tears unwillingly fell down my face

Everyone around me is dying... Everyone who ever cared about me is dying.

I walked with detective Patrick out of the house and closed the door

Leo

I stepped out of the hidden closet with Mia behind me staring at each other

"Suffocation..?" She frowned

"Not his style" I shook my head

"You know who it is?"

"You're not the smartest person alive mia.."

"God Leon. You will never change" she rolled her eyes

"We need to find Paulina. She's not safe.."

"I agree.."

"Let's go" i said leaving the house with Mia behind me

Detective Patrick

The officers went searching for evidence in the hospital.. We had nothing against Chanel

The detectives are suspicious of her.. I, on the other hand, think it's way bigger than this girl. I think she got dragged into all this for a reason..

My phone rang "Private Number" written on the screen

"Hello?"

"Detective Patrick?" A robot-y voice answered

"Who wants him?"

"Doesn't matter who. What matters is that there is evidence against the girl you're holding up in her gallery's basement. You're welcome."

The line was cut "Hello?" I called to no one

I held Chanel's file and looked at her gallery's address and directed to my radio "To all units, head to Chanary gallery in 261, Craydown Lane street. Suspected evidence for a homicide"
