I set the letter down, my whole body is shivering. All my memories flashed back in one second. The knife and the bat. The chair and the rope. The knife and the blood. The flower and the wall. The door and the header. The slices and cuts. Everything. I look down trying to calm myself. Mary is getting worried. She stood up and looked at me.
"What's happening to you?" she asked getting a little bit scared
I pulled my head down, tears starts to form on the corner of my eye. Mary came near me and patted me on my back.
"Calm down!" she cried
"Can I have water please" I asked trying to pull myself together
Mary ran to the kitchen and came back with a glass of water, I drank the water and lay back on the chair.
"What happened?" Mary asked looking concerned
"The memories. It's too much to take in. Mary, I need answers. Please I need to solve your sister's case. If I don't get Lara and put her behind bars, she's going to kill everyone. You, me, my friends and even Leila" I explained
"Leila?" she asked, her face was getting red and her eyes are tearing up
"Yes, you need to help me. Please" I begged
"Alright, I will talk. Just - just don't publish it" she answered "Please"
I nodded and got my note pad
"No. I'd appreciate it if you don't" she said pushing my notepad lightly
I placed my notepad back in my bag and started to ask her a series of questions.
"How many threats did your sister receive?"
"I don't know really, we placed all we could find here but I know my sister. I'm pretty sure she kept some" Mary answered
"Where were you when Hillary hanged herself?"
"Work, going home from work"
"Where was Leila?"
"She was with her dad"
"Did Lara ever visited your house?"
"No, not that I can remember"
"You've got to remember Mary"
"No, not at all. She didn't. No"
I sat straight and held Mary's hand "I would like to be your friend, not a reporter nor an investigator, I'm your friend. I will help you through this case. Whether it's murder or suicide. I'll help you"
Mary looked up to me and grabbed my other hand "I will be friend you, but I'm not sure whether to trust you or not"
"But before you leave I want to give you something" Mary said
She went through the box and put all the papers aside, at the end of the box is a brown paper bag, she pulled out a piece of paper that was in another plastic sealed bag
"I kept this in case we need this for something important" she said
"What is it?" I asked
"It's Hillary's suicide note" she answered
She extended her arm giving me the brown paper bag, I took the paper bag and stuffed it in my bag.
"Thank you" I said giving her a smile
She nodded and smiled at me before leading me out the door.
