I hurriedly tucked her in and rushed out of the room. I was so terrified because it was now that my act of being inhumane dawned on me. I just stole someone's life. It was dark outside, the whole neighborhood was quiet, and even the sound of car horns that usually filled the neighborhood were hardly heard. I ran back into the room, took out my black leather jacket, a pair of jeans, and T. shirt. After getting into those clothes, looking at my reflection in the mirror, I did look like some sort of detective. I ran through the front door and was about entering my car when Mama came out demanding to know where I was headed. I couldn't tell her the actual story. For I knew how she had reacted earlier, so I lied that I was going to meet my bestie who was in an emergency situation. I’m glad she bought that story. After about twenty minutes of driving like a character in fast and furious, I found myself parked at the side of the road, at the exact place where the tragedy occurred. I didn't know what to do at all. As I stood in the dark looking for answers. I could feel the gentleness of the night winds on my face. This could have been the perfect place for meditation if only it wasn't so dark. As I allowed my mind to drift into meditation, a thought flashed through. I took out my phone and tried searching for the author of that book. If I could get a hold of her, I could definitely have answers. So I Googled the author, who was named Mrs Emma Johnson. Aware that a lot of Emma Johnson could pop up, I then added the setting of the book, which would most likely be her address. Google immediately brought out her and a few others, giving their f*******:'s profile. I started clicking on the links after a few clicks, I found a profile that had photos of the little girl from earlier. Emma Johnson was the girl's mother. I was about to write her massage about her daughter when a deep voice from behind startled me. Miss, are you having trouble with your car or something? My gosh, you almost caused me a heart attack. Can't you see how dark and frightening this place already is that you had to creep up on me? And to answer your question, my car is fine, just I am. I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to scare you in any way. It just kinda bothered me to see a lady standing in the dark in this lonesome place. It's none of your business. Just go away and leave alone! He then came closer and whispered to me. Not until you tell me what you're doing here at this ungodly hour? Did you just rob a house or commit a murder? Seriously? That's a ridiculous and baseless accusation. Do I look like a murderer? Well, darling, there are stages of murder. Haven't you heard of the term "Manslaughtered"? Well, it refers to an unintended murder and you're dressed like hacker. Moreover, you don't need to be a bloody criminal before committing murder. For instance, maybe you try defending yourself against your boyfriend, and you unintentionally knock him out. Such things do happen. You don't get to lecture me on this, alright? , You have no idea who you're talking to. So get in your stupid car and drive away. Or what? You will silence me, too? Why are you being so stubborn?? Just because you are handsome and charming doesn't mean I have to listen to you. What? So you find me charming? Dammit! Did I say that out loud? I have to leave here immediately before I say something even worse. I got in my car. But he held the door, preventing me from closing it.
