A family Of Four held a Christmas party inviting all their relatives to their home in Weston Town but never did they thought that a murder would take place in in their own home,
A Girl sat being interviewed by a 'I don't take Crap' male police officer who made her nervous,
"Okay I'm gonna ask a few questions so don't feel scared,Hm?" He raised an eyebrow and stared down at me,
I nodded my head cause my voice was stuck in my throat.
"What were you doing out in the back yards that night even though everyone was inside, Miss Jane?"
"I.....M-my cousins and I were playing hide-n-Seek and I thought of going to the back yard to hide...." I trembled recalling the scene of the backyard and the dead body near me and shook my head to stop thinking of it.
"I presume that you were hiding in the bush and thats when you mistakely touched your Aunt's fallen hand?"
I started crying,
"Y-yes it was so scary when I saw.....
b-blood Spilling out of the corner of her head like it had been smashed by a hard piece of steel and her body laid
u-unmoving....."
"Okay may I ask If you know what time it was?" He looked down at his Notepad noting down some thing,
"I-i believe it was somewhat near or after 8:20 PM I remember because I and My cousin, Kayle were planning a surprise for my Mom which was supposed to take place at 9:00 PM....."
"I see I suppose that is all....Let me take you to back outside?"
I nodded.
"I went outside but My parents were not there so the male police officer made me sit at a chair to wait for my parents because they were being interviewed.
"Here kiddo...Its Officer Myres" A Female police officer introduced herself to me,handed down a Mango lolipop and she looked sweet kinda like my mom and she sat down next to me on the chair,
I took it,
"Thank you...." It seems I fell asleep on the Nice officer's shoulder without even opening the packet of the lolipop because I think it was after 10:00 PM meaning that it was quite late for my sleeping time.
"Jane Jane? Wake up darling!" Someone was saying my name telling me to wake up and so I did only to spot my Mom crying while sitting on my bed where I rested my head,
It made me nervous to see her cry I mean I was only 11 year old who will soon turn 12 in a few months,
"W-whats wrong,Mama?" I shivered I don't know why maybe it was because I felt that some thing bad had happened.
"Oh My Sweet heart...Your Aunt was pregnant with a child and....now the child's dead....." She cried wiping her tears until her face had turned red and I stared at her in shock,
"W-what.....Aunty had a baby??" Mama loved her sister a lot and for a single women like her sister to get pregnant was shocking but It numbed the pain because of all these....sudden news of a baby and her murder.
"Yes yes but now.....both...are dead ahh!" She screamed and I started crying....it seemed my dad had gone to check on my dead Aunt at the hospital because of the message he got that Aunty was pregnant.
Dad came late at night along with a few officers who were checking the surroundings of the back yard and Aunty's room,
''Aunty lived in our home mostly when she came to meet everyone else and she was jobless but my mama insisted to keep her here....."
They told that 'I don't take crap' male police officer that they found a knife hidden under the dirt covered with filthy blood and the knife was stored as evidence in a see-through packet.
Two days later, Police came knocking on our door and Mama opened it and there it was, the 'I don't take Crap' police officer and officer Myres along with another male officer who I didn't recognize and they forcefully entered the house and put handcuffs on my Dad and both Mama and I cried and followed the police car to the police station where we asked what had happen.
Officer Myres finally revealed it,
"Mr Clegg, Your husband had forced himself on your sister a few months before and when your sister came by for the christmas party he found out that she was pregnant and he tried to make her abort the baby but she rejected again and again saying that it was not the baby's fault and that the baby doesn't deserve to be aborted but Mr clegg insisted for it which had no other changed answer and suddenly due to a moment of impulse, the knife he was using to cut the vegetables for the soup was still in his hand and he stabbed her but she was still alive so with the holding side of the knife he smashed her into the corner of her head and she fainted yet still being alive and Mr clegg became nervous seeing her unmoving body and hid her body in the bushes where Miss Jane found him.
It had been what? Right A month now and my mom and me have moved out of that house full of bad memories and a dead body and a criminal husband and a criminal father.
He was sentenced to 10 years in jail though I know Mom curses at him every time she thinks of him and wishes for Dad to stay in jail for more years but what I don't know is the conversation she had with dad for the last time in that closed and suffocating space for interviews.
With Mom,
"Why did you...do that? Was I not enough for you!? You mf!"
She screamed as the 'I don't take Crap' male police officer stood outside the interviewing room,
"I just...started gaining feelings for her and when I confessed to her she rejected so-"
She cut him off and slammed her palm on the table and stood up from her chair and grabbed his shirt pulling him while saying,
"So what!? Did my sister rejecting you allowed you to force yourself on her!? My sweet little sister didn't even do anything and you, A man 10 years older than her forced himself on her and didn't have a ounce of empathy that you even killed the baby she refused to abort!!?"
She began slapping him multiple times until the 'I don't take Crap' male officer came inside and stopped her pulling her outside but Mom kept throwing curses at Dad until the door ended up closed silencing both the sides of the door except the murmers of the other police officers and pity words.
I was also asked to see him but I didn't want to see or even say a single good bye to him because I felt that If I met him or tried to talk to him I will become emotional again so yeah my mom started hating all man and we moved to another town, got a new home because that house was too ominous and both Mom and I.....we never spoke a word about Dad as if he didn't exist.
