Chapter 7

Celina's POV

I couldn't believe my ears. This is the first time we've had anything close to an evidence left on the scene. "Did you just a likely evidence?" I said slowly,and hopefully,Believing that what I had heard was true. "Yes. This is definitely a male's necklace and it doesn't look like a one that my sister had. Plus,she didn't have any my recent boyfriend so,it's very likely it may belong to the killer. It looks like it was dragged off the owner's neck,so it's hook got broken. There seems to be blood on it too. " he said calmly. "Okay. I'm gonna give you a set of instructions. Not so much. Just simple ones. Do you have a pair of new rubber hand gloves and new sealable Nylons?" I asked hastily. "Yes I do,my sister was studying to be a surgeon so she had a lot of rubber gloves. We have sealable Nylons,for preserving food too. " he replied. "Okay. I'm sure you can handle a piece of evidence well. You have been on various crime scenes?? Right??" I asked. "Yes. I do know how to handle the evidence so that I don't tamper with the DNA on it." he answered back. "Alright. Handle it then and got to Central police station. I'll call a teammate of mine to get the evidence from you right this moment and send it to NFS right away. When you get there ask for Violent crimes Unit 2 Detective Jeremy and submit it to him. Do you understand that?? I'm kinda in a fix with my parents so I'm having a little bit of talk about something important with them. That's why I can't handle it myself. This is still 8:30pm. I hope I'm. not asking too much of you?" I asked. "No detective. I understand. I'll do as you say. Please do well to inform Detective Jeremy that I'll be waiting for Him to get the evidence at the police station" he said. "Don't you worry.. He'll still be at the station. He'll get it from you tonight and get the process of the forensics ran immediately. " I assured him. "Okay Ma'am. I'll do as you say. I've gotta do this quick" he said and ended the call. I Quickly called Jeremy and he picked up after the fourth ring. "it seems like our guy left an evidence on thime murder scene of tonight. Attorney Allen claims to have seen a male Jewelry. A male Necklace to be precise. He'll be coming to the station to give it to you. I trust you're still at the station?" I said.. "Yes I am. We are still going through footages from the area and taking down statements from the Neighbors. An evidence,you say. Interesting. I should get it to the forensics right?" he asked. "Yup. don't wait till tomorrow. Do it tonight and ensure they satet the Test process immediately. Blood tests,DNA tests,Skin cells test. I want every test that can be done on a Jewelry to be done as soon as possible. Got that? I equally want a progress report of the other case on my table by morning. I'm returning to work." I said. "To work?? Your doctor said you needed a break and a bedrest. How could you return back to work??" he said,sounding surprised. "I have work to do Jeremy. I can't take a break when a murderer is on rampage. It was the duty i swore to fulfill. And I might as well die while fulfilling it. Do as I have said,mm?? Goodnight" I said and hung up.

I turned to my parents and sat down in front of them. My dad sighed and said "So you've decided to go back to work. No bedrest?" "Yes Papa. I do t have that kind of time. A murder case is on my table. And a murderer is on the run. It is my duty to catch him,and I can't do that while resting" I said. "But you're ill. And besides,we still have to look into your memories. " my mom said. "Mom,I don't plan on looking into my memories. I'm okay this way. With you both,as my family. Whatever memories those are,they'll return of their own Volition. That I have no control over. Let's not forget all about that again,okay mom?" I said while stretching to hold her hand. "It's about time I gave you this" I heard my dad say and when I raised my head,I saw him giving me a file. "What is this?? Documents of your adoption and Your hospital Information." he said. "Hospital Information?? What hospital Information? You told me you adopted me from an orphanage." I looked at them puzzled. "We lied. We adopted using Legal means so nobody wanted to claim you after we saw you abandoned in the hospital. We tried finding out who your family were,but nobody seemed to know anything. And the Doctors and Nursed wouldn't divulge the real reason as to why you were in the hospital." he replied. "What do you mean abandoned at the hospital? Does that mean,I was adopted using Social services since no one would come for me?" I asked in astonishment. "Yes. Plus,we received the real medical report from a nurse who snuck it out and gave us. We couldn't leave you there considering the information we read in that File.". he replied. "So?? The hospital record inside here,is fake?" I asked. "Yes. However,the real medical file and to us after we had filed for an adoption and it was already being processed. Here" he said as he gave me a different envelope "Is the envelope that contains the real medical report. One more thing,The nurse that gave us this information died. In about the same way this present serial murder case is happening. She was found to have been killed by overdose of Meth and Strangulation. But it was closed as Suicide." He finished. I opened the envelope and saw the Medical report and my eyes widened in shock. "Raa..Rape and physical abuse?? I... I was raped?" I whispered while covering my mouth with my hand. And tears sprung into my eyes. Suddenly,a flash came again. "You.... are..... just..... a filthy... whore... like your... damn..... mother" I heard a voice say as he wiped a child with a rod. "Please... don't kill... me.." she cried out silently.... And then I slumped to the floor with tears in my eyes... What in the world is going on??
