Broken me!

Murder

Maria Denver

I told my sister about Michael and she was laughing at me. ,,You do like him.", with amusement she looked at me. ,,No, hello, I told you I never want to see him again.", how does she come up with something like that. Grinning, she looked at me. ,,Come on, it's getting late, you have to go home.", I looked at her rolling my eyes. ,,It's okay, I'm going," I stuck my tongue out at her like a joke.

After saying goodbye to Anna, I walked out. A man stood in front of me a few doors down. He looked a lot like my dad, but that can't be real. Our father is dead, I interpreted. I ran to the man and spoke to him. ,,Excuse me?", but he quickly ran away and put on his cap. I ran after him, why is he running away? Is he surely my father?

He left the building and ran through an alley. I ran after him, of course, just past the alley, I heard a bang. Shocked, I stopped, what was that. Frightened, I ran forward and saw a woman who just collapsed. ,,Get help!!!!", I shouted. I put her down and spoke to her. Stay with me, say your name.", I said and opened her blouse. Her vital signs were very low, her chances of survival were very slim. I had to give her CPR,because she was unconscious and not moving her breath. A few minute passed, the police and the ambulance arrived. The doctors took care of her and I explained her condition.

,,Maria Denver, you always get into these types of situations." I followed the voice to Michael. Rolling my eyes, I looked at him. ,,You have to explain, that was murder.", he said. ,,No, really, I didn't know.", he looked at me, but he didn't say anything. We drove to the police station and there they put me in a room.

Miachel sat down in front of me and started asking questions. ,,How did it happen?", he was asking me. Then I described the whole incident. He looked at me skeptically. ,,The woman slumped to the ground just before you appeared. On the security cameras, only you are visible.", he insinuated that I had killed her?

I stood up angrily. ,,Excuse me?! If I had killed her, I would be escaping right now. What stupid murderer would help his victim and then come to the police station of his own free will?", stunned, I took my bag in my hand and ran out. Two other policemen stopped me. ,,Michael may she go?", one of them asked. ,,Emm hello, I have the permission to leave." I said. But everyone ignored me. ,,Yes, let her go.", he said and they let go of me. I ran out quickly and only now realized that my car was still at the hospital. Sighing, I started to walk to the hospital. ,,Mariaa!", someone shouted after me. When I turned around I saw Michael. What does he want again? ,,Yes Michael?", I looked at him annoyed. ,,I didn't mean to accuse you of murder, it was a misunderstanding. Believe me Maria. I just wanted to explain why no one else was seen. It looks like someone is trying to frame you for the murder.", I thought about his words. Maybe the man, killed her. To draw my attention to her and not to him. ,,Maria, do you have something to tell me?", he asked me. ,,No..no..no..Why?", I stuttered nervously. ,,You seem nervous and you didn't say anything about it when I said the murder could be blamed on you.", He looked at me skeptically. ,,No, it's nothing.", I said and wanted to go ahead, but he stopped me. ,,As a policeman, are you allowed to hold me like this?", I asked him, pointing to his hand. He grinned. ,,No, but now my shift is over. That means, as Michael, I'm allowed to do that. Come on, I'll drive you to your car.", he kept insisting. ,,No, thank you.", I denied. ,,It's dark and no bus or train leaves within ten minutes." He said. Damn it, he was right, if I refuse this, I will have to walk for a long time. ,,Why do you care about me?", I asked him. ,,You're interesting and I think chance wants us to spend a lot of time together.", was that a pickup line. Somehow I had to laugh, too. ,,That was so bad,", I laughed. ,,Come on, at least I look good.", he said and we both laughed.

A short time later he continued. I thought again about the man who looked so much like my dad. What are you thinking about?" he asked me. I hesitated, but he looked at me briefly. You can trust me," he continued. You know, my parents are dead and in the hospital I saw a man who looked exactly like my dad. I spoke to him and he ran, no he fled it from me. At the avenue he turned around and shortly after I saw this woman slumped down.", I described quietly. At the parking lot, he parked and looked at me. ,,Maria, your parents are dead, sometimes you make up things that don't really happen.", he said. Was he trying to say that I was just making it up? ,,It was a bad idea to go with you. Don't ever talk to me again.", I yelled and got out of the car.

He did the same and ran around the car to me. ,,Maria, wait!" he called to me.,, What...what you so much wanted to know was secret from me. There you got that, you really think I'm making it up!", I continued to shout. ,,I just want to help you, Maria!", he shouted back and waved his arms around. I held up my hand to signal that he should keep his distance. ,,Just leave me alone! I have enough stuff to deal with.", I left him standing there and continued.
