I sit back on the beach as I look at the sandcastle I just made with Jimmy I smile.
-It looks good. Jimmy?
Jimmy-Mom said she would help me build one.
I look at him and he sniffles as he looks down folding his hands on his lap.
-Jimmy.
J-Is my fault she died. I let him in and he killed them and is my fault.
-Hey no, is not your fault, come here, calm down.
I hold him in my arms sitting him on my lap and he doesn't calm down much but he doesn't gets worse either.
-What happened? Just tell me so I can help you.
He calms down at that and as he starts speaking I don't interrupt him.
J-After playing in the garden I went to sleep and when I woke up later I was hungry and I went to the table. I saw them sleeping and the plates used, maybe they ate a snack and went to sleep but mom always told me never to go get food by myself or the kitchen or anything so I went to wake her up so I could eat. I tried waking her up but she never did, I got scared and I called dad to wake her, maybe he could do it. I waited and when he came he went directly to the room. I waited on the couch but he was taking a long time so I went to check and that's when I saw all the blood and everything. I tried to stop him but he pushed me, I grabbed the knife and I was going to cut him with it but I hid in the closet and I did nothing to help mommy.

He cries a bit louder holding to me tightly and I caress him trying to calm him down.
-Sorry Jimmy boy.
J-Is my fault. I could have at least tried to help her but I hid like a weakling and now I can't help her and she died and is my fault because I hid and didn't help her. Is my fault.
-Hey no is not your fault. Stop saying that.
J-I hid and I was so afraid.
-Is a normal reaction. Is alright but now listen closely.
He nods and I speak.
-I can help you but I need you to tell my boss all of this. Only then we can move on to catch the bad guy. Do you understand what I need to help you?
J-I understand.
-Do you think you can be brave for me for a bit more?
J-Aha, brave. I'm brave.
With that we turn to calm down and finish with this once and for all. The case is pretty easy now that we have all the evidence gathered and everything else and during the verdict the husband smiles and he shows his true colors, he confesses to doing the crime cold and flatly. He seems proud of killing them and he seems to not have the slightest hint of regret. He also confesses on trying to kill me and that he didn't finished his work because his plan was to kill the entire family, the wife, the lover and the kid. The sentence is given and he is charged with double homicide, intent of homicide, assault to a police officer and he is sentenced to death after twenty years on prison with the injection. After the sentence Jimmy is taken to a foster home and so he goes away and I go home with Reiko.

Izumi POV
I get out of the court with my siblings, all of us eight siblings with Reiko and dad.
Sh-That was interesting.
-I feel, I don't know.
Sh-Kyo.
He turns as being called and he smiles softly.
Kyo-What happened?
Sh-How are you feeling?
He shrugs.
Kyo-It was a job well done.
Ying-Kyo.
They exchange a few words in their own language that only those two can understand until he starts walking away with Reiko.
Ying-Don't follow. Leave them be.
-What did you told him?
Ying-I asked what he wanted. I promised not to tell.
With that we leave and so we go do our own things by ourselves or in pairs. Dad and Aoba go back home. Ying and Odette go to the park. Fumiko goes to the pool. Cho and Shinju go to the yoga gym and I go to the library to study.

Five years later
Kyo POV
I arrive home from work and I call out.
-Rei, I'm home.
I hear laughing before she comes out of the living room and she gives me a soft kiss.
R-Welcome home. Look Sybil, daddy's home. Say hi to daddy.
She makes our year old daughter waves at me and I laugh. I poke her cheek.
-And how is my sweet little darling today.
I babytalk her a bit making her laugh a bit before I take her in my arms. We have a nice dinner and after eating I cuddle with Reiko in the couch in the living room as we both look at our daughter as she plays and crawls with her toys on the floor.
R-Our little darling. Isn't she beautiful?
-She is very beautiful indeed. Just like her mother.
R-With a touch of beauty from dad too.
I laugh at that before I kiss her. Four years of marriage now and a daughter of one year.
-Do you want to go back to work soon?
R-Yes but not right now. When she starts going to school then I'll go back to work.
-Too bad we can't both get off from work. Why so long?
R-I want to enjoy her infancy as much as I can. You can do it too. I adjusted myself so I worked from home, maybe you can do the same.
-I'm not sure I follow.
R-You can go out to the crime scene and then instead of analyzing the evidence in the station you do it here. After that you go out when you solve it in court or something similar.
-I'll be sure to ask my boss about that tomorrow. For now, I'm enjoying my wife and daughter.

I get off from the couch and on the floor.
-Sybil. Come here, come with daddy.
I stretch my arms for her to come and she looks at me as if she were thinking if to come or not to me.
R-Go with daddy. Go on.
With patience we wait for her to move and when she does we only look at her because she seems to be trying to walk but she doesn't make it and that seems to hurt her because she just looks at us clearly not happy. I grab her up to my lap and I hold her.
-Come here you. Is alright.
I pass her to Reiko and I turn to pick up her toys when something calls my attention and I freeze in place.
Sybil-Papa.
I turn to them both and I see Sybil reaching her arms out in my direction and Reiko holding her still as she looks at me.
-Reiko. Did she?...............
R-She did.
She repeats herself calling me out over and over again and I grab her up to me. She laughs in joy before she calms down and she falls asleep on my arms.
-Rei.
R-I know, let's go to sleep.
Since we still live in the same apartment as eleven years ago her crib is in our room. We redecorated the room so the only thing there for us is the bed and part of the closet as the wall are painted for a baby and is decorated more for Sybil than for us. We are looking for a bigger house but is quite hard finding it. Dad still offers to buy us a house but we still don't accept his offer. I sigh and leaving Sybil on her crib I get ready for bed but I can't sleep.

Unable to sleep I turn to Reiko kissing her neck and shoulder slightly. I keep touching her and she allows me to do as I please while she focuses on keeping silent so we don't wake Sybil. I undress her and is a real challenge for the both of us to make love like that. Silent. Is good and I know she's excited and I am too because our heartbeats are fast and frenetic. Is like the ocean, calm and composed on the surface but below there's a whole lot more going on. I groan biting harshly on her shoulder as I reach my climax right after she reaches hers. We stay like that for a moment before I lean away on my back and she turns around, we share a soft kiss and then she wraps herself on me and so we cuddle to sleep at last.

Izumi POV
I get ready for work one morning and as I get out of my room I see my sister is doing the same.
Sh-Izumi.
-Sister.
We laugh and as we go I ask.
-Do you want to stop for breakfast or we eat it here?
Sh-Out. We stop somewhere before work.
-Shall we go then?
She holds a thought and she goes back to the kitchen and when she comes back she hands me a lunchbag.
-You made lunch for us?
Sh-That I did. Let's go then.
With that we go out and I drive the both of us to school. We drive a Camaro like bumblebee but is instead of yellow is black and with red stripes. We stop at a cafe where Shinju buys two hot chocolates and a salad for her and scrambled eggs for me with ham, bacon and chorizo in it. We get to the school and I park on our spot. Sometimes is her reserved spot and sometimes we use mine. We never use them both at the same time because we always comes together. We get down from the car and taking my breakfast I go to the classroom and she goes to the nurse office. The classroom is empty but I get it ready for class. Is a nice day so I open all the windows, the students come on in slowly chatting between themselves as I get the room ready. I sit on my desk and I wait for them all to come on in with the attendance on hand.
Girls-Good morning teacher.
-Good morning.

I note the girls present as they come in and once the third bell rings I look at the attendance book.
-All right. Looks like everyone's accounted for. That's good.
I leave the book and I speak to the class.
-Today is a surprise test. You have choices. You can do the test now and go away after you're done.
They all make sad noises and I raise my hand asking for silence.
-The second choice is an open book test.
Student1-We can use all the notes?
-The notes you wrote down yes. Not the school textbook. No electronics either, just paper notes and your brain.
Some of the students consider this but they don't cheer up at that.
-The other choice is, you have thirty minutes to study your notes first and then do the test without notes.
S2-Do we all have to choose the same options or can some of us do with notes and other without notes.
-Choices. You can pick your own way to do the test. So, who wants to do it right now?
Only three students get up and so I turn to get their tests but I'm confused and surprised when I see my sister's things here.
I sigh and closing the bag I turn to excuse myself when before I even do something I hear my sister and I see her on the door.
Sh-Did you got the wrong bag?
-That i did. Thanks.
I turn to grab mine but she pulls it out of my reach speaking in our own language. Ancient Greek with Egyptian and arabic.
Sh-Did you peeked inside my bag?
-Of course I did, how else would I know is not mine?
She gives me a look.
-Did you peeked on mine?
She hands me my bag and goes inside to take hers and she goes away without giving me a word.
S1-She has a really sexy.......
-Do not finish that sentence.
He shrugs off and I hand them the tests now that I have them. Some of them do it with their notes and other don't but they all do it now. I lean back on my chair and I start organizing everything. Planning future classes, checking old tests and works as I grade them.
