Chapter 16

Mara at work running a Photoshoot she received a visitor, it was the second was Detective Cooper Hello. When Mara heard that a detective was here to see her, she got scared and cut the shoot short. "Hello, I'm Detective Cooper. I'm not sure it was you've officially met before." "Hello." She says looking scared. "What have I done wrong, on why am I receiving a visit from a detective? Look I don't do drugs. Yeah sometimes when I go and shoot you know, I just take it to make me more relaxed and flexible but I don't it. I try my best to avoid it I don't do drugs apart from the one time I did Molly, and I did not know was a long time ago." She said she could. "No…", he interrupted. "I'm not here to arrest you for drugs. I just wanted to ask you some questions. It's about your roommate violence". "Oh forget all I said then…What has she done? She can't hurt a fly" Mara said. "It's about event that happened a month ago where she was attacked." "She was attacked?" Mara was surprised. "She didn't tell you anything?" The detective asked. "I was out of time out of time in that period, I don't think she mentioned anything" "Hmm that's strange, well she was attacked by a stranger on her way back from work but she claimed that she lost her memory and found herself at home. the guy who attacked how was found dead the next morning." "Oh yeah she said something similar to that, I thought it was a joke. Wait that was real?" "No that happened. So did she tell you anything more about that? Cooper inquired "No she didn't." "Well, that's strange. They have been missing reports of missing people all over town. And everybody wants answers for your friend seems to have moved on. Even though hers ended up with a dead body." "But she wasn't missing, so how does the case correlate? Mara gave him a weird look. "It's much more complicated than that you see, is Miss Violet involved in anyone shady or…?" Mara interrupted "First of all, detective I don't think you have a right to be questioning me here without a warrant. If you have a problem with my friend, they you should invite her to the station and let her know what she has done. But if you can't get warrant or evidence for a crime you think she has committed, then you're just being a stalker. And tis right here is a crime! I have a shoot to return to detective." She stood up and left. She Called Violet immediately she left him and told her about the visit. "Some weird detective just came to question me about you. He said his name is pooper or something like that." She said. "Detective cooper came to see you? What is wrong with this guy?" Violet got angry. Wait Violets, so what you told me about being attacked was true? I thought you were joking. "No it wasn't a joke, when you laughed about it, it made me see how ridiculous I sounded. But that shit happened for real." Violet said. "You must tell me all about it when I get home." Mara demanded. "No problem, talk later." Violet ended the call. Violet was pissed, she wanted to tell Steel so bad but she is pissed him off and they might not be seeing each other again. If she had Steel's number she would have called him to inform him of the situation. Or was that just an excuse she needed to call hm. She decided to close early from the library early and headed to the police station. She got the station and requested to see Detective Cooper, but he wasn't around. "Of course he isn't. Who can I report detective to?" She asked the woman that was attending to her and she was directed to someone's office. "How may we help you ma'am?" The senior detective asked. "I want to report a Detective Cooper, since I got back from the incident where I was attacked a month ago, he has been on my neck, going around asking questions. I told him everything I remembered. Now he is at the other side of The city questioning my roommate at her place of work. Is everything alright with him?" She ranted angrily. "I'm very sorry about this ma, I thought your case was closed because forensic showed that the victim was attacked by an animal so why is cooper still on that? He paused "I sincerely apologize about this ma; we will look to it that he doesn't disturb you again." The detective apologized. "Please call your detective to order cos it making me uncomfortable. The next time he visits me without a good cause, I'll file a restraining complaint against him." She said and left the station. When violet got home she was hoping to find steel hanging around somewhere but he wasn't. Mara came in and demanded that Violet tells her all that happened when she was not around and this time, she was willing to listen. Violet told her all about it except for the part where she met a "Alucard". Mara was shaken as she heard her narration. "So you mean you came to this house but you don't remember how. Did you sleep walk?" she asked. "Maybe." Violet said. "But the detective said there have been similar occurrences of recent." Mara was petrified. "Aliens! That's all I can think of. Aliens are here." Violet tapped Mara on the shoulder and walked away. Mara had shivers run down her spine as she watched Violet walk to her room. "Aliens?" She asked rhetorically as she sat alone in the living room. Violet's mind was not at peace as she laid in bed. She thought of how to rectify her stupid mistake. She thought of ways to trick Luca into giving her steel's number without his suspecting anything shady. She told Mara that she would be back sook and left the house to Luca's place. Luca opened the door for her with surprise on his face when he saw her. "What are you doing here at night?" Luca asked I wanted you to help me call Damien, my calls keep going into the voice main. Since you guys are bros now, I'm sure he'll pick up." Violet said. "Oh you came here all because of him, wow, you must really like him." Luca smiled. "No problem then, call out his number let me dial it here." Luca said. "Violet paused. "You didn't collect his number?" "I was going to but, I just decided to get it from you." Luca replied her. "Oh wow ahem never mind then I'll just…You know what? I've changed my mind about calling him." She said. "No you should call him now, don't worry I'll talk to him myself." Luca offered. Violet did not know ow to get herself out of this mess. She should have come clean at first but she had compiled too many lies, now it's hard to untangle. She had run out of excuses. Violet looked at Luca dead in the eye with nothing to say. She stood up and ran out of his house to her car and started it. Luca ran after her in confusion. "Violet! Violet where are you going?" he yelled. "I'll see you tomorrow." Violet yelled from her car window as she drove off." She drove in confusion wondering what she'll tell Luca when she meets him at work tomorrow. As she was driving she saw a man standing at the middle of the road, she expected him to leave the road but he just stood the looking directly at her. Violet quickly stepped on the break of her car. She jumped out of her car to give the stranger a piece of Her mind. "Look fool if you want to commit suicide, this is not the right place, try the bridge ok?" She moved closer to him to get a closer look and saw that it was steel. "That is not a good thing to say to someone that is suicidal, why are you so evil?" He asked "Oh it's you!" She said in amusement. "I heard you were looking for me, what do you want?" Steel asked. "I wanted to apologize." She said. "You should leave the middle of the road first." He said. "Ok get in the car." She ordered "Sorry what?" Steel thought he heard wrong. "I won't talk to you at the middle of the road either, we'll talk in the car." She opened the door of her car for him.
