Franklin's POV
I know where she can be, Benjamin said.
Where? I rolled my eyes.
Your old house stupid... San Francisco, remember or you forgot already? Benjamin folded his arms against his chest.
I sold that house, I shrugged.
Wait... What? Sarah shouted.
Exactly, Benjamin said and I could see his jaw drop.
Yeah, I did, I was drunk and I needed money that day. The constructor came to please me for selling the house and he offered a good amount so without giving a second thought I signed the papers, I said.
Are you.... Leave it, Sarah kicked the wall.
Ouch, I guess I broke my foot, Sarah said and sat on the floor. I guess she hit way to hard.
How much money you got? Benjamin asked.
Now there is no use of you knowing that, I bought this house out of that money and rest of the money I used for drinking, I hesitantly said.
Unbelievable, Sarah took of one of her heels and threw it on me.
Ahhh, I moaned in pain.
I placed my finger where I got hit with the heel on my face, that spot started to bleed.
Bitch, I groaned.
Oh really? Mr. Drunkard, no doubt why that stupid Julie threw you out of her house, Sarah raised her eyebrow.
Can you both stop we need to find daisy at any cost, Benjamin shouted.
Hmm yeah, I said.
Where she can be? Sarah said.
If I knew that I wouldn't be sitting here, I said.
Oh lovely, Sarah slapped me.
Sometimes I feel like killing you, I said to myself while looking at Sarah.
Me too, she said.
Oh you heard that? I asked.
Uhmmm obviously, Sarah rolled her eyes.
Well, I wanted you to hear that, I smirked.
Are you both done for the day? Benjamin punched the cushion on my sofa.
Ohk fine done, I shouted.
'Tring Tring'
Hello, Atherton house, I said.
Hello, it's liza Weston, I am from the investigation department. I want you to come here and meet me. Thanks.
Hello...??? I spoke but she already hung up.
Who was it? Benjamin asked.
I don't know some liza who asked me to see her. She's from the investigation department, I said.
I hope daisy didn't caused a commotion, Sarah said.
Me too, I said, I was worried though.
At the police station
Hey, I am Franklin Atherton, I said.
Good to see you di.... I am mean franklin, I heard someone from behind.
I looked around and I was shocked.
You? I said.
Yeah it's me, Salvatore said giving me a sharp smile.
I gulped.
Hey, are you both done, can I speak now, some lady said.
Continue Mrs Weston, Salvatore said.
I am Liza, I called you, she said and asked me to sit.
You were Miss Julie's driver right? Liza asked.
Yeah, I said.
Good, but you were her driver in San Francisco and even here, how's that possible? She asked.
Fuck, I cursed in my head.
Uhmmm.... Well I was kicked out of my job by Julie ma'am and.. I shifted here and I took a job in a taxi agency, and when she came here and hired the taxi, I was the driver, I said.
So it took only two consecutive days for you to get hired by an agency. Like you got fired and you suddenly shifted here and then you got a job, that was so happening. I wonder if it's your luck or your planning, Liza said and gave a sharp smirk.
Planning? I made a confused face.
Uh-huh, planning. You Don't know what planning is? Liza asked.
Well I know but what does that mean here? I asked.
Planning here includes, kidnapping, making things look as if you are innocent and murder, Liza said and stood up from her seat.
I shifted uncomfortably on my seat and said...
Well I haven't done anything as such.
Oh new information, thanks, Liza sat on the table just infront of me.
I gulped and I started to sweat.
Fine then. You can leave Mr Franklin, I'll call you later, she said and stretched her hand to shake hands with me.
We shook hands and I left.
Salvatore's POV
Already done? I asked blocking Franklin's way.
Let me go, he said and tried changing his direction.
Not so soon, I raised my eyebrow.
Please, he made a pissed face.
What did you do to my sister? I asked.
Nothing, Franklin wiped the sweat from his head.
So plainly you denied, good, I like the way you lie, I said.
Let me go, he pushed me.
Wow Mr. Coward, I said.
I am not a coward sir, he said with a long pause.
Mr Salvatore I need to talk to you now, meet me in my cabin, Liza came out of her cabin and said.
Sure, I said and pushed Franklin to get him out of my way.
Why is he acting so innocent? This question poked in my mind.
Again in Liza's cabin
What did he say? I asked before liza could say anything.
It's a private conversation, she said.
What? Wh ......... That's ridiculous, I rolled my eyes.
I can't say anything until I find the truth, Liza said.
Is he your boyfriend? I asked in frustration.
Uh-huh, Liza stabbed her pen in her diary.
If not then why the hell are you hiding the truth? I shouted at the top of my voice.
Get out! She said.
Excuse me? What did you just say? I pretended not to hear.
I know you heard but I will repeat.
GET OUT, she angrily said.
Not so soon, I said and sat on the chair.
What's your problem? She rolled her eyes.
You, I said.
Oh just because I am not telling you what that man said, nice, love it, she said and went out of the cabin.
What the...., I followed her.
Stop it Mister, I have work, she said.
Work? I raised my eyebrow.
Yeah, Mr. Franklin is a suspect and maybe a witness so I have to take care of the situation, she said and folded her arms.
Oh I thought he was nothing, thanks now I think you are working atleast, I said.
Oh, she said sarcastically and took out her wallet to hand me over something I think.
I'll be going then, she said and turned away.
While she was turning around I noticed a picture in her wallet.
Wait, I said.
Now what? She asked.
The picture... Nothing go, I said.
The picture looks familiar, I don't know why, I said to myself.
May I then ...... She looked at me with a pissed look.
Uhmm yeah, sure, sorry, I am just out of my mind, I said. Well that's the truth.
Fine, she said and left.
In San Francisco
Hepburin's residence
Who are you? Morgan asked.
I am Daisy Atherton, Daisy replied.
Do I know you? Morgan asked with a suspicious look on her face.
Uhmm no little girl but your dad and uncle know me, Daisy said Patting Morgan's shoulder.
How? Morgan asked.
Uhmmm because I was Julie ma'am's personal assistant, daisy answered.
My mumma's? Morgan said.
Hmm yeah! Daisy replied.
Okay, friends? Morgan stretched out her little hand to shake hands with Daisy.
Friends, daisy shook hands with Morgan and kissed her cheek.
May I ask something? Morgan asked.
Why not, daisy smiled.
What are those marks on your hands and your face? Morgan asked.
Uhmmm no nothing...... I just fell, daisy hesistantly answered.
Okay, Morgan said and hugged daisy.
Will you play with me? Morgan asked pointing towards her Pookie.
Yeah sure, daisy replied.
Who's He? Daisy asked pointing towards Pookie.
Pookie, my friend, Morgan said while clapping her little hands.
Okay, daisy smiled.
Los Angeles
Salvatore's POV
Why do I think I have seen it? Ugh my memory sucks, I sat on the sofa in my hotel room.
What you have seen and are unable to remember now? Peter asked.
I don't know, I just don't remember, I confusingly said.
Oh ok leave it, Peter said and handed me my medicine.
How are you? I asked.
Just trying to adjusting with the situation, Peter answered.
Your diary is here, is there something important in it? I asked staring at his diary.
No....no.. Not at all, Peter fake smiled.
Okay, may I see it? I asked but immediately picked up his diary.
You can't, he shouted and snatched it from my hand.
I looked at him with an amazed face.
Leave it Salvatore, you should not touch my things, Peter said.
Oh okay, I said.
Peter got up and kept his diary in his bag.
I am going to sleep it's almost 11pm now, I said.
Goodnight, Peter said and cleared the bed.
I laid down and Peter laid beside me.
I am sorry, I hugged Peter.
It's fine, he hugged me back.
We should pull away now, I said.
Oh ya, we pulled away and I kept my leg on Peter's leg.
Comfy, I giggled.
Jeez, Peter laughed.
