Chapter 4
Something fishy
I had the perfect excuse to go back to the station, after my parents rash behavior I would need to have an apology at the ready. I mean, if you fight in the police station be glad you weren’t arrested.
I entered the police station, looking for anyone similar. I felt a tap on my shoulder and whirled around to find the boy I was looking for.
Cadence.
“Hello again, Destiny,” he said. “What brings you here?”
“I just wanted to apologize for my parents rude behavior.” I explained, trying to not get lost in his deep blue eyes.
Cadence nodded, flashing me a dazzling smile. “Always noble I see, but we aren’t pressing charges, I’m surprised the broke after all this.”
“Excuse me?”
“Well,” Cadence paused, eyes scanning the room. “The police aren’t really doing a very good job of finding the killer.”
“Aren’t you a police man?” I asked.
Cadence grinned deviously, “nope, I’m a detective.”
“Don’t really see the difference,”
Cadence rolled his eyes. “I just moved here about a few years back, and just a year ago did these people let me in to work.”
“How old are you?” I asked.
“Eighteen, sweetheart, nineteen in a couple of months.”
I nod, “I’m seventeen.”
Cadence nodded again. “I know.”
“What do you mean you know, we just met earlier today.”
“I’ve been searching in the case ever since it happened, and there was a lot of files of you and your family.”
“What?” I asked, alarmed.
“Your family has a record, your parents were very naughty children, and your sister upset a lot of people.”
“And me?”
“Surprisingly, nothing, your spotless. A bit strange, but not surprising.”
“How?” I asked.
“You weren’t the one that pushed things too far,” he replied simply.
“Can I see the files?”
“Have to work at the station, and get permission from the chief, or we’ll both be in trouble.”
I nod, Cadence studies me. “You didn’t come here to apologize did you?”
“Yes, I did.” I lied.
“Your lying.”
“And you know that how?”
“Oh, I just know,” he says mysteriously.
I’m starting to get annoyed so I ask the question I’ve been dying to ask, before I chicken out. “Will you help me?”
“With you sister’s death?”
I nod, “it seems that everyone has given up on the case except me.”
“Of course I will,” he says. “But first…”
He takes my hand and leads me out the door, I am yet again stunned and do nothing as he maneuvers his way through our destination. After awhile we stop, and I look up, bewildered.
“Something’s fishy,” I said.
Literally.
