Daddy's Girl

Chapter 3

"You gave clear instructions to Harry and I not to" I say thinking about Harry,

"My theory is that Josh killed Harry, swiped the key off him and then when he saw me leave the house, that's when he opened fire at you using Harry's key to get in" then dad rang mum. Dad put it on loudspeaker,

"Hey" mum says,

"Hey. You're on speaker. I told Sophia already" dad says,

"Okay. I ran the tests and the DNA you collected from under Sophia's nails and cross referenced it with Josh's DNA" mum says,

"And?" I asked,

"It's a positive match" both dad and I sighed,

"So we have everything on Josh from Harry to me. Why target my family?" I say,

"I can answer that" I heard a voice say. It wasn't coming from the phone. It was coming from my door,

"Who are you?" dad asked,

"Dad. Remember Kevin?" I say,

"Is that him?" Dad says. I nodded,

"Yea. So how can you help us Kevin?" I asked,

"Joshua was always jealous of you and wanted to find a way to kill you" Kevin said sitting down on my hospital bed,

"Is this where you've been for past 3 months?" I asked,

"Yep. Here for another 3 months. Damn doctors don't want me going just yet. How's school?" Kevin asked,

"It's alright I guess" I say, "not the same without you though" I say looking at him,

"Wait" dad says. Shoot I forgot he was still here,

"Danny" mum says on the phone. Fudge I forgot about her too,

"What?" dad says,

"Kevin and Sophia briefly went out. Take a hike" mum says. Dad sighs and talks to mum on the phone while walking around the hospital,

"How am I the last to know?" dads voice trails off,

"Yea. How come your dad didn't know about us but your mum did?" I chuckled,

"My brother Harry found out after going through my phone and told mum. I thought she told dad but I guess not" Kevin goes silent,

"I heard about your brother Sophs" Kevin says. God I miss him calling me that,

"Yea. It was Josh who killed him. Why did he try to kill me?" I asked,

"I dunno. All I know is that he wanted to kill you but he failed cause here you are gorgeous" Kevin says. I smile,

"My ex was in on it so yea" I say. Kevin nods,

"I understand. I'll be back" I nod as Kevin walks off somewhere. I turn on the TV and watch the news where they are taking away everyone involved with the case I just closed,

"In other news, several have been arrested after the murder of Jenny Hudson, Harry Messer-Styles and the attempted murder of Sophia Messer. We wish Sophia a safe recovery and our condolences here at the newsroom for your brother" I smiled,

"Hey" dad says walking in,

"The channel 9 news sends their condolences for Harry" I say,

"That's nice. They say anything else?" Dad says. I nod,

"They wish for me to make a safe recovery" dad smiles,

"That's good" dad says,

"Where's Kevin?" I ask,
