SHE BENT ME

End of Childhood Flashback

The police heard Jennie and looked at her. He saw her crying with blood in her little hands and simply approached her.

"Kid, are you okay?" The police asked.

"She said something and I heard my daughter's name. Please, she might know something. Can someone bring us a translator?" Chitthip exclaimed exasperatedly along the crowd.

"Ma'am, I understand your language," the police named Jung approached her and it gave hope to Chitthip when she heard the officer speak in Thai.

"Oh sweet, Jesus, thank you," she said while Jennie looked confused at them.

Officer Jung turned to Jennie and gave her a smile to calm her. "Hi kid, this lady in here asked about what you said. Did you know what happened?"

Jennie nod vigorously while sobbing.

"Can you tell me more?" The police asked softly.

"My friend and I got kidnapped. They killed her. They hit her with a car!" Jennie explained while sobbing.

"How old are you, kid?" The officer asked and scribbled on his pocket book.

Jennie answered by her little fingers while still sobbing.

"You're seven?" He repeated and Jennie nod her head.

"What's your name?" The officer asked again but Jennie didn't answer and just cried more.

He hugged little Jennie for a moment and turned to Chitthip.

"Ma'am. The kid said they were kidnapped and that her friend got hit by a car. She mentioned that they killed her," Officer Jung said without any hesitations.

Chitthip pulled something from her purse and gave it to the officer.

"Kid. Is the one who died in here is the kid in this picture?" He showed the smiling picture of Pranpriya and it made her cry even more.

The officer got taken aback and concluded basing on Jennie's reaction. "Ma'am, it's her,"

Chitthip's knees weakened and fell on the ground, almost fainted from what she knew.

On the other hand, Marco received a call and got informed that her daughter is in the hospital where the doctors are trying to save her life.

The police held Chitthip up and told them to go into the police station for further investigation.

When in the police station, Jennie's sobs stopped and didn't talk much. Chitthip help her sat on the bench.

"Stay here for a while, okay?" Chitthip pat hear head while Jennie just looked at her innocently.

"It's obvious that it's not an accident! The kid just said it earlier!" Marco yelled angrily at officer Jung who happens to be standing beside his superior and gave Marco a sad look.

"She's not talking anymore, sir. The kid is traumatized and asking her won't do any good," officer Jung explained.

"What type of investigation is this? I will bring the kid with us," Marco said in agitation.

Officer Jung's back pinched by his superior, telling him to close the case, and tell the couple that it was mere accident. The Officer sighed in disbelief and followed his superior's order for him to keep his job.

"I'm sorry, sir. My team told me that it was purely an accident. A hit-and-run incident and sadly my team found nothing about the car. They also checked the CCTV on the roadway to check the plate number but there was non that had shown." Officer Jung said sternly but deep within his heart breaks for the grieving couple.
