Betrayal

A tear escaped my eye. The pangs of pain rising in my heart, the burn of betrayal was burning me bad from inside. I sobbed and slowly everything started to fall in pieces.

When the first murder happened he wanted to make himself look good. He wanted to look like a a trustworthy officer, so he called me few times. He didn't wanted me to tell my friends every little detail, and he hold the main file of the experiments back, and because of him the killer didn't attacked Mrs. Watson. Fred is the problem. I wiped my tears away and placed that letter in my purse. I wrote another letter and placed it in his pocket, hanging his shirt back in wardrobe.

I bite back the tears. I knew it if I didn't stopped them right now then I'll be a mess and will make Fred doubt me. I looked at my reflection in mirror and nodded to myself, I washed my face and slowly the plan started turning in my head.

After half an hour I got out of room. I saw Fred examining the box, he turned to face me as the door opened. I smiled and walked up to him, "You should take some rest you know." Before I could say anything more, he grabbed my hand and spined me, making me sit on his lap. I wrapped my arms around his neck, a smile resting on our lips

"Don't you think about any kind of naughtiness." I giggled a little, and looked into his eyes deep. Maintaining the smile and hiding the pain behind it.

"What did Lily said?" the smile on my face was about to drop but I maintained still.

"Nothing much, she was telling about the investigation they did in Bristol, and they didn't found a thing. It was a little shocking for me." Fred frowned a little. Looking right into my eyes, I licked my lips, feeling the cold sweat break on my forehead.

"Why are you so nervous? Anything bothering you? You are behaving very odd tonight." I smiled shaking my head.

"No, I'm just a little tired, I want to sleep." I wiggled out of his arms and walked towards bedroom. Getting under sheets, I felt Fred climbing in bed with me, but I decided to ignore that, he wrapped his arm around my waist, making me blush. The darkness consumed my vision, maybe I was really very tired.

I woke up early with a headache, I turned to look at Fred sleeping. I sat up in bed, tilting my head a little. "How can he do this to me? Now, now I'm I getting emotional? I'm I breaking my own rules? I don't know what is this thing?"

I got out of bed, getting ready and leaving a small note behind. "I'll be back soon, Take care. If have any work to get done, then go ahead. Keys are kept in drawer."

I took a final look at Fred and got out of house with that box. I messaged Lily to meet me in our cafe, in a moment she messaged me back. A smile creeped on my lips, I got in my car and drove towards cafe.

When I reached the cafe I saw Lily sitting on our table already, I observed her few moments before entering the cafe. I smiled and walked towards her, she stood up and hugged me close, tapping my back twice.

"Thank god you are well, I was so worried. I thought he'll harm you. But so glad you got away so soon. I was always so sure that he was not right guy, not even trustworthy and after what happened with you -" Lily was nearly babbling.

"From which number you got this call?" I cut her in middle of her sentence.

"Oh.. umm I don't remember that number, but it was a man's voice." I frowned, and sighed. I secretly eyed the CCTV camera in cafe. I got up and placed an order for black coffee, it was much needed this cold, early and stressful morning. Carrying the cups back to the table, I took my seat again.

"Oh yes I got a gift for you, I thought it might cheer you up, I have one for Fred too. Actually when I got it I didn't thought that he will be an impostor. But still as a friend will you pass it to him?" I nodded smiling, taking both gift wrapped boxed and stuffing them in my bag.

"Oh is there something else in your bag?" I startled a little when she peeked over my shoulder into my bag.

I nodded slowly, "I recieved one more letter yesterday." I don't know why but Lily's behavior was not a comfortable one, she was making me uncomfortable and somewhere my mind was telling me to keep things to myself.

"Oh!? Who was that? Did you found anything in footage?" I looked at here from coner of my eyes and sipped my coffee, while shaking my head.

"Nothing." Few moments passed, I kept the footage thing from everyone. Somewhere I realised that now it was time for me to do the work alone.

"What is this gift?" I changed the topic, taking last sip of my coffee, looking at Lily waiting for her reply.

I noticed her expressions changing from second to second, before she could say anything I continued, "Do you want to tell me anything?" my eyes were piercing through her thought.

"Huh?" Lily looked at me a little confused. I tilted my head.

"Nothing at all, I'm just worried about you and Oliver.." I smiled amd placed a hand over her shoulder.

"I know.. I'm worried about Oliver too. But I'm still pretty shocked about Fred. I still can't believe he would do such thing." Cold sweat broke on my forehead again, a strom of emotions rising in my heart. Swallowing the pain I was feeling. Somewhere I was still not believing it, but there was nothing that could defend Fred. If Lily says that, then it is true.
