the woman banged on the wooden door with all her might, just hoping for her sister to open the door. the little girl in her arms was crying ferociously, coughing up phlegm, and had a high fever.

her sister opened her front door to she her and the little red headed infant. she took a deep breath and started to shake her head frantically.

"i can't do it jezebel, you of all people can't do this. forget your crazed husband, he's making you do this!" marissa pleaded in tears, making jezebel shake her head calmly and give her older sister a small smile.

"this is consensual marissa, now take my daughter, raise her, and when that time comes, you know what to do" jezebel said shakily.

little hazel started slowly and quietly going down the stairs, clutching onto her teddy bear, and eavesdropping on the conversation.

"jezebel, i won't" marissa firmly said, making jezebel glare at her. "this will make me look bad, i could do so much right now and put all of your lives at risk. take care of my daughter until i return back from jonestown." jezebel explained, giving her daughter to marissa. "fine, she will be in the best of care, be safe out there, come back jezzy" marissa said, closing the door on her sister.

she turned around to see her own daughter, obliviously staring at her and she smiled.

hazel and danny sat at a table together enjoying hazel's favorite vegan vanilla flavored iced coffee and vegan banana bread.

he lifted her spirits up a bit with his company and he was very respectful towards her. he had confessed to he that he made the 911 call in regards to her late cousin maddie. that name forever haunted her now. maddie and hazel used to hang out at flores café, until her untimely passing.

"what was it like, growing up with her" danny asked her as she took another bite of her banana bread. "she was like my sister, her mom wasn't present or her father, my mom said they died in jonestown though" hazel said sadly, making danny squint his eyes.

"jonestown? that cyadine cult? maddie's parents were involved in a cult?" danny asked but immediately regretted it. "i'm sorry if i'm bothering for making you uncomfortable" danny apologized making hazel shake her head.

"it's alright i'm fine. it was more like maddie's father was involved in the cult, there was rumors that he was related to jim jones himself but it was never confirmed" hazel said. "poor maddie, living with that burden" danny said making hazel nod.

"i could never talk to my mother about what happened in jonestown, she gets emotional, i mean she did lose her younger sister. aunt jezebel was so naive and so young, i hope she's resting well with maddie" hazel said making danny rub her back.

"i'm sure they are" he said making hazel smile lightly at him but her smile faded. "are there any new leads on who killed her?" hazel asks danny and he cups his chin with his hand.

"they say her ex boyfriend heath, he was the last person who spoke with her" danny says making hazel furrow her brows.

"heath might had been harsh and uncontrollable sometimes but i don't think we would murder maddie" hazel confesses. "they got into an argument at the winter wonderland dance, he stuck up for me after maddie insulted me" danny says making hazel sigh.

"we should help him" hazel hesitantly tells danny making him look at her confused. "are you serious? what are we detectives?" danny says making hazel giggle a little. "i've always been interested in learning about crime and motives, plus i want justice for my cousin, although i just met you, you knew maddie pretty well, i enjoyed our conversations about jonestown and maddie, we should team up." hazel offered, sticking her hand out, making danny stare at it.

he then smiled at her, and shook her soft hands.

"maddie was a good girl, i really liked her, her past and family were extremely shady though" sally explained making heath nod. "she doesn't hate me, right mom?" heath asked his mother while about to cry. sally quickly took heath into a large hug and kissed his forehead. "nobody could ever hate you my boy" sally cooed, making heath shake his head.
