"I know ..." Molly looked down and played the fingers on her palms, "I know ... and I'll co-operate, I'll tell you everything!"
"Please ... Please then!"
"Like my previous story, I was born with this power. We are seven siblings and I am the one who has the most dominant power. Only the first, third, fifth girls have the same power as me, and I - the seventh daughter.... is a complement to that power. None of my sisters can communicate both ways and make friends with other-dimensional beings." Molly looked into Roderick's eyes with a foggy look, sad and regretful. Because of his strength that made all these disasters happen.
"All my friends in other dimensions, do not expect and ask for anything from our closeness. They are my best friends, while my first, third, and fifth sisters have to make special arrangements so that they want to talk to them."
"My second and fifth sisters contacted me two months ago. Both of them warned Sofia and me. They said Jocelyn - our first sister was eyeing my power through Sofia. However, two days later my two sisters were found dead in a locked room, no doors or windows were broken !! they just died !! And at that moment I knew, Jocelyn who had killed them."
"Jocelyn ..? You mean your eldest sister !! Why could she kill her own sist t?" Roderick asked confused.
"Oh ... Mister Hawkin ... Roderick, I mean !! ... Joyce felt that she should have the greatest strength of the seven of us, mom has known about this problem since Joyce started trying to harm me. Pushing from swings, crossing roads, even hired a gang of masher men to prank me. Luckily I was always protected by my other natural friends, none of her plans worked. My mother died of old age, I took care of her until the end of her life. "
"Your real sister tried to harm you? Then what did your mother do?" Roderick felt increasingly confused with this client. A mysterious woman with a face as pale as a corpse who turns out to be able to communicate with spirits - really ...he has to take time off and vacation in Barbados, meeting the models who await him for every second.
"My family... Not as beautiful as other normal families, Roderick !! When you enjoy a vacation on an exotic island with your family on school holidays - I have to take care of my mother in exile. When I was seventeen years old, my mother took me away - leaving my six siblings behind. My mom said, for safety's sake."
"Wait.....!!!" Roderick interrupted Molly's words quickly. His forehead wrinkled and his navy blue eyes looked full of concentration into Molly's eyes, "Why are you telling all your family secrets? ... I mean ... You're so detailed, I don't even need that information ... I'm just asking about Sofia, where and who did it - you already said that Jocelyn-your brother did it ... "Roderick ruffled and ruffled his hair in confusion. Why would the woman in front of him involve himself in such a strange family affair. He did not need to know and did not want to know the history of Molly being able to talk to other creatures. He was not at all interested.
"I will tell you my reason ... Reason to tell you about this. May I continue?" She said calmly without expression. Roderick watched Molly's fingers tremble. Skinny fingers that were as pale as the face and the rest of the body.
"My mother was pregnant with her eighth child at the time, and she felt herself, I, and the baby in her stomach threatened. We moved around, to get rid of traces. Philadelphia, New Jersey, Texas even to Rio-Brazil."
Roderick squeezed his forehead. Trying to understand the woman's words, "Your father? You ...? What happened to your father?"
"My father? Aah ... Haha." Molly laughed sarcastically, "the father on my resident card is only a foreign man who pretends to be my mother's husband. He never once touched my mother, he had been enchanted to accept us as his family but did not dare to disturb us. my biological father...."
"Who? ... Who is your real father?"
"One of the leaders of the spirit world - if you persist in wanting to know !! When mom and dad realized something was wrong with Joyce, she asked us to run away - temporarily disappeared. I had two younger sisters during our escape. At birth, not long after that, my mother died. "
"Your father is the leader of spirits? How could your mother have died --- they are together at this time? The world of spirits? My God ... I might be crazy !!" Said Roderick frustrated. Why not a normal father? Or president? Or the creator of the Krispy fried chicken recipe? Why is it the leader of the spirits?
"I don't know. I never talked to my mother or my sisters who died. The only mother spoke to my father while she was still alive. Mother said, Joyce will kill us one by one, so I have to protect and disguise the whereabouts of my siblings. That's what I did. all this time."
"You mean?" Roderick grew clueless about what his client was talking about. Why did he have to deal with this woman? Isn't there another divorce case and he regrets why a Mallory came to the firm's office and asked for legal help. Why didn't Molly go to another firm then!
"Currently, my only sister who is alive is Jocelyn. She killed my sisters one by one for her greed with strength, even my sister who did not have any strength - was killed by her. Sofia is my smallest sister, Fred is a man who impersonates my husband, I chanted it - like what my mom used to do. Joyce stepped in and resuscitated Fred, divorce, and kidnapping!! How? ... Do you understand?" Molly asked quietly. As if she was telling a story to elementary school children. Actually, Roderick is a smart person, but his brain is just logical and nonsense.
"My brain is smoking ... Thinking of your story!!" Roderick chirps softly which is answered by Molly's chuckle.
"Then ... How about getting Sofia back?"
"That's why I'm telling you this. Only you can take Sofia from Joyce, you and Jacob can."
"What do you mean? If you asked me to save Sofia from angry spirits. Sorry. But I must raise my hands down. I still love my life and don't want to be shadowed by a wandering spirit who holds a grudge against me for interfering." Roderick protests, he prefers to withdraw from the case rather than dealing with spirits.
"No. If only a spirit who did it. I don't need anyone's help. When you become me, you will understand that humans are much eviler than spirits. Scarier, more deadly." Molly said expressionlessly. Sometimes the look on her face is like a person enduring pain.
"Then what should I do? Why is Jacob here involved? Do you know him?"
"Have to.. both of you. I'll tell you how later."
"Jacob and I don't necessarily agree! Explain first! Then I'll consider whether I want it or not!" Roderick's orders were firm.
"Oh .. Trust me. Jacob will help you without your asking. You will also do it voluntarily." Said Molly with a small smile. Her eyes were still a little wandering. Seeing the smile and the look of the woman in front of him, Roderick shivered.
