Chapter 23: Unsolved Case: Cathlia (part 7)

"Okay, first thing. What evidence do you want to hear that I conclude that Lucia and George was the one who killed Cathlia?" I said as I placed my laptop and newspaper in front of Louie.

"When you said… about the kidnapping?"

"Read this" I said as I face my laptop on Louie.

"JESSIE TAYLOR--A BODY OF A 9-YEAR-OLD KID FOUND AT THE KIRKVIEW HILLSIDE

2006--Kids were missing and was never found. The report happened when a 9-year-old kid named Jessie Taylor. Her dismembered body was gruesomely found on a dark forest near the KirkView Hillside in Monday morning. Yeah... yeah" Louie muttered as he reads it.

"And another report blah...blah" Louie fixed his glasses and looked at me, "Suspects were found, lily", I sighed and rolled my eyes, "It also said there that some suspects weren't found"

"Maybe they killed themselves?"

"After all the kidnaps, okay. We can assume that they killed themselves but we can also assume that they went for hiding. " Louie thinks for a moment and looked back at the laptop.

"You know, criminals don't want to be found." I continued. "and criminals could make a crime scene spotless"

"Yeah, we could say that so…your point here?"

"And remember, Aurelia and Emerson or should I say Lucia and George can be a suspect."

"While the kidnapping was rising and kidnappers were here and there, grabbing each child... Lucia and George could see this as their best opportunity to eat a human flesh." Louie explained.

"Finally, Louie you get what I'm saying" I said as I rubbed my forehead and look at the newspapers.

"But if we say, the couple wasn't the suspect and it's true that some suspects wasn't found?" I give him a plain look.

"Really, Louie? Why would you always go to the suspect side? Are you even my friend?" I said with a laugh. Trying to minimize the tension as I blurted that out. "Just a jest but... why would you always go the suspect side? You seem want me to fail to answer this case" Louie laugh.

"Really, lily? I'm asking just in case. Sometimes, things may go wrong" Hate to admit, Louie is kind of right, things may go wrong. I may have the evidences but its inevitable that things may go wrong. People always doubt.

"Louie Tenneson, we could say that police have connections with Lucia and George" Louie raised his eyebrows, confused.

"When did you know my surname?" Louie asked. I laughed and smirked, "Duh, Louie. I'm your friend and a schoolmate and I saw your name being posted to "students who ranked in today's month. An-"

I stopped talking when I noticed Louie's face went red, "What's wrong, Louie?" He averted his gaze and covered his mouth.

"Perhaps... you are my stalker now..." Louie said not looking at me. I almost want to vomit of what Louie said. Stalker? No, I will never be a stalker! I laugh and grabbed my pillow and tossed it at him.

"Oh no! I'm not interested to guys, Louie. If I would, then that is the other Lilith Barkley" I said as I shudder of the thought that I am a stalker. I'm not interested to any guys---not even bit. Ivy even questioned me if I ever had a crush on someone.

"O-Okay but I was caught off guard there, lily. Anyways enough of that, how could you say that police have connections with Lucia and George?" Louie put the pillow on the side and grabbed the 1998 newspaper.

"Reputation, doooofus" I said as I did the imagination SpongeBob meme. Louie slowly nods, "well, we could say that...but you sure?"

"That's my theory and besides they ran a small business and closed it after that newspaper was released"

"Its already been years passed and the police probably retired and have fun since their old now. Tend to enjoy life and I'm sure some of the police forgot the case after."

"How could you say that they forgot? Some old people can remember"

"Okay, let's say that some remember but who are they?" Louie questioned.

"We can ask the police officers"

"But do you think that police officer knew the polices who are employed that time? Lily, it's from 1998 and went back again to 2006.. I think police won't remember who were employed by those years and also there are a lot of crimes happened between those years, lily"

Louie got a point. "Yeah, you got a point"

"But why did they killed Cathlia though? It makes me wonder why would they killed Cathlia" Louie said as he took a glance to the other newspaper, like finding some answers.

"Easy. Cleaning their name and reputation."

"And before they were caught eating a human flesh around 1998 and moved..?"

"We can say that after they were caught they moved and I also have a theory maybe Cathlia saw something on..." I stop mid-way connecting it. Wait, I think I get it. Yes.

"Okay. This is not a theory anymore but Lucia is the suspect of Cathlia's death. Why? The woman who worship demons and can turned herself into something she likes and has a good reputation thus not wanting to be caught, she killed Cathlia and dragged her. No neighborhoods near the log cabin in the KirkView Hillside. We can say that she drenched acid on Cathlia's eyes after Cathlia read something about her, thus killed her and throw Cathlia off the cliff." I explained. "Remember the burnt books and papers? Why they were burnt? Lucia wants to get rid of evidences that she is Aurelia and moved to some place."

"And after Cathlia died, kidnapping starts again and you said that Lucia and George can be the suspects since the organs of the kids were taken out and maybe eat it just like the 1998 newspaper article", Louie said.

"Yeah, Louie"

"But how did they die...?" I think and remember Felicia, "Felicia killed them"

"But why would Feli-" I stopped Louie from asking. Yes, why would Felicia killed them? Did Felicia know about Aurelia and Emerson? There is a lot of things to uncover on Felicia's case. "We will soon know about it, Louie but at least we have the pattern now for Cathlia and be later on connected to Felicia. Let's go the police station and report this"

Louie smiled, "Okay, detective" and straightly go to the police station.
