COVER UP

Linda weeps profusely, and it took a while before getting her self together. What??!!!!! She is now a murderer? Will she go to jail? What would happen next?

Linda rushes ups to pick her phone and calls her mom. "Hello mom." Linda sobs.

"What is wrong with you? Why are you sounding like that?" Jessie asks.

"Mom, I don't know what is going on. I think I killed someone." Linda sobs loudly.

Jessie closed her eyes, and sighs. "Where are you?"

"I am at home."

"At home?" Jessie asks.

"Yes."

"Okay, I am on my way." Jessie whispers. "I will handle it, don't touch anything and don't call anyone. Just wait for me, I would soon be there." Jessie says and ends the call.

After some minutes, Jessie arrives home. The gatekeeper opens the door gate and greets. "It's not the gate keeper, it's the maid." Jessie whispers, she steps out of the car and decide to send the gatekeeper on an errand, to buy her some time. She wasn't sure if what the situation was inside, she had to just do that so she could properly handle the situation well. "I need you to run an errand for me."

"Okay ma." The gate keeper answers paying utmost attention.

"Go to my father, and tell him to give you the drugs he got for me." Jessie opens her pause and gave him some cash, more than enough for his transportation fare. "Use this for transportation."

The gatekeeper quickly collects the money and was happy. "Okay ma." He replies and went into his apartment to change his clothes.

Jessie walks in the sitting room, and saw her daughter standing in front of the door, looking. Very helpless. She looks at the dead maid on the floor too and closed her eyes.

"Mom, what are we going to do?"

Jessie ignores her daughter's question and looks out through the window, to make sure the gate keeper already left before she could do or say anything. She picks her phone and puts a call through. "You can come in now, make sure you lock the gate too." She ends the call and makes another one to her father. "Hello father, my gate keeper is coming over to your place, please just give him any three of your new drugs. Please."

Immediately Jessie drops the call, three men came in with gloves on and one of them carried a black bag. They locked the gate and joins Linda and her mom in the sitting room.

"Madam." One of the men calls immediately he enters.

"Welcome, where is Andrew?"

"He is currently not in the country." Another man answers and faces Linda. "Can you tell us what happened in details."

"She was trying to talk me about something and I pushed her." Linda sobs.

The situation is a very tensed one, no one bothered to ask what the deceased was trying to talk to her about.

"What can we do? We need to make it look like she fell and died on the spot before my husband and the gatekeeper comes" Jessie whispers.

"It's going to be a very easy one, since it's just falling. All we have to do is, change her clothes to remove your daughter's finger print and change the falling direction." The third man says.

"Alright please get into action." Jessie says and faces her daughter. "Put on some gloves and go into her room and bring new clothes, make sure you don't ever take off the gloves."

"Yes." Linda nods and set out to follow her mother's instructions.

Jessie is a terrible woman and wife, but she really cares and love her daughter. Within the matter of minutes, everything was set, the death scene was already looking like what they wanted it to be. They changed and got rid of the clothes she was wearing, and changed her falling direction. Also they cleaned the stairs with a substance to get rid of Linda's foot print. Jessie and her daughter wore some socks to avoid their foot print being on the stairs when they go upstairs and act like nothing happened.

The scene was perfectly covered up like nothing happened, Jessie won't have her daughter pay for any sort of crimes. She would always do her best and protect her no matter what.

"Thank you." Jessie appreciates.

"We would take our leave now." The first man says.

"I will give you a call, once again I really appreciate."

Jessie says and the men went out leaving the gate opened, the way the gate keeper did before going out. Soon, she was left with her daughter.

"Mom." Linda calls holding tears in her eyes.

"Let's go upstairs." They went upstairs and Jessie couldn't believe her eyes, she saw what the maid was trying to talk to Linda about. She was smoking and taking drugs. "What on earth is this?"

"I am sorry mom, I have just been to lonely." Linda sobs. "I am sorry."

"It's okay." Jessie hugs her daughter. "I am here for you now, make sure not to tell anyone about what happened. Not even your father." Linda nods. "Now hurry and hide these things, the gatekeeper will be here and will be the one to scream for help when he sees the house maid lying dead. All we have to do is act surprised and call the police."

"Okay mom." Linda nods again.

"Lastly, don't take these things anymore. I am giving you a serious warning."

"Yes mom."
