Wallis Gale's POV

       "Ah!" I wake up screaming as I re-look the part where Billy die again and it is the first day after Billy's death. I still remember clearly how exhausted physically and mentally I was after my investigation that year. I still remember when I first went into his restaurant and met him. I still could see his smile in my mind eye and for once, I feel that I had disappointed him that I can't protect him when he needs help. I still remember the embrace we shared as brothers and the vow I made to him that I will help him whatever the cost. Somehow, this made me feel his loss all over again.

       "Billy......" I started crying.I couldn't help it, thinking all of the time with Billy just make me sad that I lose a true friend and brother all over again.

       "Hey Willis. Thank god you are alive!" Liz squeals with happiness and give me a big hug. I smile and give her a pat on the back.

       "Hey there, Little Miss Sherlock." Grinning from ear to ear, she takes a napkin and wipe the tears of her face. "Wait, is that real tears?" I think to myself.

       "I don't feel the pain of breathing difficulty to be honest. After all, I feel much better." I say with a smile.Laugh,smile, and be goofy but never show what you are feeling inside. That is how I have survived in my career for so long.

       "Thank god. You could be killed if you'd been in there even longer than the amount of time you could withstand the smoke." Liz starts scolding me and she remind me of a certain someone.......

       "Shut up." I murmur to no one in particular and Liz stop talking. As I look up, I see that she looks hurt. " Sorry. I was talking to myself."I reply to her. Stupid me for saying my thoughts out loud in front of the one I care about.

       "Never mind. I was looking hurt because you were screaming in your sleep. You were even pushing the nurse in charge until she almost fall down so they have to put you to sleep again." Liz sigh a pained sigh. " Also, you have been acting weird lately. Are you okay?" I lock my gaze with hers and she looks like she's not backing down so I give up. "Fine. If you want to know, I'm just having a nightmare. That's all because that's the truth." Liz doesn't look at much convinced but she step down and I sigh.

       "Anyway, how long was I out?" I ask Liz and she frown. " Well, good news is that you are back to health after your superior let you rest." Liz says as her face brighten a bit. "The bad news?" I prompt her to continue and she almost break down into tears. "You are unconscious for about three days." I stare at her in shock.

       "Sorry for butting in but Mr. Gale, I need to check your temperature first." a doctor interrupts our conversation and I nod, letting her take my temperature. "Mr Gale, you are good to go." She smile and I nod thankfully. "Thank you." I say, grateful that I could leave the hospital in good health and continue the investigation.

       "I heard that you are trying to find the murderer Mr Gale and I would like to give you a tip." the doctor who nurse me back to health just now tap my shoulder and give me a file consists of all recorded statements of the patients.

       "Thank you." I nod at her gratefully and she give me a reassuring smile, whispering at my ear: "Please find the culprit for me and for Little Brook." I give her a wave to say that I will and Liz and I head back to Little Brook Police Department headquarters where I study my case files.

       "Gee, each statement is more bizarre than the other." I look through the investigation file the kind-hearted doctor gave me and look at all of the statement that each patient give in puzzlement. Liz catches my look and frown.

       "I'm also confused here." Liz wave another file with Billy's statement in it before his death at my face. "Billy say that there is one girl that looks like a Gothic Lolita and another "thing" because he couldn't see what it is and he only feel a force. Hey Willis, who do you think the girl is?" I look at her and shrug.

       "Who knows." I shrug as I lean back against the chair back. " After all, it could be anyone." my heart pound and my palms is covered in sweat as unexpected memories that I try to forget keep surfacing in my mind. I know the answer but I never even like what it lead me to because I am scared to face the truth, the truth that my junior high school best friend turned enemy have returned and is coming to take back what I owe.
