"Jemeelah! Make it snappy and come down here, I have got a lot of documents to sort in the office and your dad has got a business meeting. Pack your brunch and don't forget to lock the door. We will be waiting in the car."
"Yes mummy, I will be with you shortly."
18-year-old Jemeelah hadn't done her assignments and had been procrastinating till she fell asleep speaking with her aunt the previous night. She knew how much her mum hated her being unserious so she'd rather not risk telling her mum what kept her delayed in her room.
"I guess copying the rest in school will be the best solution then" she thought to herself.
She packed her bag and brunch then rushed downstairs so as not to keep her parents wondering. Jemeelah bolted the door and rushed to the car to meet the most terrifying scene ever.
"Nooooooooooooooooo,
Muuuuuuummm
Daaaaaddd" She shouted.
"What kind of scene is this?" She thought while crying
Being the only child, her mum had always done everything for her and now they've been murdered brutally.

Coming from a storey building is a sinister laugh
"Don't worry, I will make sure to buy you the car you've always wanted. You see this job, you've only accomplished 10 percent of it. You see we still have a long way to go but I must commend you, you did a great job. Let's meet tonight at our usual club,you deserve a celebration."Said the voice coming from the center of the table.
"My pleasure master"
"And you"The head said pointing at a fair, petite lady on the other side of the table.
"Sir"
"You are going to persuade that bastard and she must trust you. So when you leave here, I am sure she will give you a call. Don't be stupid and play your role properly except you would love to end up like her parents."
"O...okay sir"
He laughed again and dismissed them all
"I love to see people grieve, It gives me happiness" he said to himself.

Who would have thought Jemeelah wouldn't resume school on Monday,it was so unusual of her
She had called her aunt and explained everything to her and her aunt had assured her that they would find the culprit.
"I am doomed" she thought to herself "How am I supposed to cope without my parents"She was about to pour out her second round of tears when she heard her name from behind.
"Jemeelah" Shouted her aunt
She ran to her burying her head in her aunt's chest
"Aunty Rosé, I am very scared and I don't know what to do. Please help me."She said crying profusely again
"Don't worry, we will file a report" her aunt replied with tears lining her eyes.
Earlier, Jemeelah had called the lab guys that worked with her dad to clear everything up and they had expressed their condolences but she was waiting for her aunt to accompany her to the station to file a report. She had made up her mind to know the culprit by all means.
"We should leave here now so that you can take some rest then first thing tomorrow, we will go and file the report.
Jemeelah had been worn out already so she couldn't deny the fact that she needed rest but she couldn't stop crying.
"Okay "She said following her aunt to the car.
