ELIMINATED (The mystery box)

Chapter Sixteen

Mrs Joanna's POV

(flashback continuation)

I mourned Anna for as long as I could after which I decided that life had to continue as I wished I had never paid attention to my children just like I had done when Terry was born. I resolved to live life again and so I made up with some old friends whom I party with before I decided to focus on my kids.

I began to feel alive again until my husband came home from work one night with a child in his hands saying he had gone to adopt a child in order to make me happy again. I stared at him confused on what to say, "when did my husband begin to care about making me happy?", he further went ahead to say that he thought Terry needed company as he seemed bored lately. I looked at the girl and she looked ok though a little bit pale. Eben then suggested that we named her Anna to make me feel my daughter's presence to which I vehemently refused. She could be little, blonde and cute but could never replace my Anna. I walked out of him with a longing for my Anna, a feeling I had been trying to suppress for some time now. I missed her so much, her smile brought do much joy to me and so no one in this world could replace her. I decided that thr little girl could stay just for the sake of Terry who I paid little attention to nowadays.

Detective David's POV

I got to the station to meet Dylan with two other people; a man and a younger lady seated beside him. We exchanged greetings and I was given an update on the case;It was a murder case of their dad and even though they had no evidence except an autopsy report, they feared their lives were in danger.

We sat down and talked for some time after which I asked a few questions and then we exchanged pleasantries and they left .

It didn't really seem like a tough case to me however the warning I got seemed to be a hindrance. It was like I knew the killer but then my hands were tied, I looked up as I asked God to lead me on what to do, I just needed my daughter to be safe...
