Chapter 15.

The room quickly went silent as Jake finished reading the letter that was covered in blood. Hailey and Jake stared at Amelia. Shock filled their eyes, in fact, she was just as shocked as they were. The basement she found herself in was already a bit too much for her to take in, but what Jake just read was something else, something dark and aching.

She had no idea on what to make of her parents anymore. The caring and loving parents she once knew just seemed to disappear into darkness, and the worst thing she feared had just turned into a reality for her. She was afraid of what she would find out about her parents death, afraid that she would not be able to handle the pain, and indeed she could not. As this was much more than just a murder a case. there were other elements at play which she did not even know existed.

“Amelia.” Hailey said to her. she held her gently while she stared into her eyes, she could see the hurt, the anger and the disbelief as she stared into nothingness.
