NEXT MORNING ; POLICE DISTRICT
Elsa walked into the station and straight to Insp.Charles office to have a word with him.
On reaching the door her phone beeped so she stopped to check her phone.
The text message said. " My darling girl you are so smart, but not too smart."
"What's with her ?"
"What does she mean?"
"it might be a joke". she said brushing it off.
She opened the door and got in.
"Good day sir". she greeted smiling at the picture of lady liberty on the wall.
"Oh you again, how are you and your sisters. He asked extending his hand for a handshake.
"We're good, thank you" she said sitting down.
"So what brought you here again?"he asked.
"I came for the case i told you before"she said looking at the clock over the wall.
"Yeah, the case can't be reopened without sole evidence." he stated adjusting his belt.
"And...........he was cut shut by Elsa.
"What sole evidence do you speak off,the anklets on the the eight dead bodies has similar pendent with the torn pictures , isn't that sole enough to restart this case ?
And how about the women? how far have they gone?" she asked relaxing into the the chair.
"I guess that case was closed" he said non nonchalantly.
"Why?" she asked sitting up.
"Because it was discovered that the women were lying, they had no daughters , some of them are newly weds". he said as if he doesn't want anyome else to hear him.
"And the items ?" Elsa asked inquisitively.
"The women said it was their handiwork, that they conspired to do that? he concluded.
"Can i get the addresses of this women?" she asked.
"Sure i wrote it down somewhere, here have it". he said handing it over to her.
"Thanks". she greeted getting up.
"You can use this to at least get some thing to eat". She said dropping some cash on the table before leaving.
She came out and her phone beeped again.
"How are youTessa?" it read.
"What's the meaning of this? this is her phone and she is using her order pbone to text me."
"This is ridiculous.she said dialing her number.
She turned to know if she was blocking the way so she adjusted her position and a man passed by her she turned her front again but she perceived a heavy and strong powerful perfume ,she turned to see who wearing such perfume but the man took a U-bend towards Insp. Charles office.
"The number you're trying to call is currently switched off ,please try again later.
Damn it, but this perfume is really familiar, i can't even remember were i perceived it. she said to herself heading to he car.
FLASHBACK
"How about the tattoo been similar to the pendents.? Elsa asked him.
"Well those jewellery were manufactured in London and imported, maybe i may say it's a coincidence. said the Inspector.
"The women address you gave is just one person but they're six. she asked.
They live on same street, just next to each other. he concluded.
PRESENT
She started the car and drove to the. destination of the women.
************************************
She came to a halt infront of a house , she waited for some time to observe before coming down.
She knocked on the door.
"Yeah, who's there, on my way!" someone said from inside and fast footsteps approached the door.
The door flung open.
"How to you know i leave here?" she asked.
"The Inspector gave me your address , can i come in ?"she asked.
"Sure" she opened the door wider.
Elsa came in and she motion her to seat.
"Do you need anything" she asked.
"No I'm fine".she replied smiling.
"So why did you come?" she asked her sitting on the chair opposite Elsa.
I heard what happened and i didn't believe it. is it the truth,was it a conspiracy? she asked.
Yes, it was. she said forcing the words out of her throat.
Where are the others? Elsa asked.
"they live next to me". she said fighting the tears in her throat.
"Can i call them in"
"sure"

"Yes it's the truth" half of them chroused.
"I don't get it almost all of you are sobbing silently, i don't believe you.
