Phantom Of The Dead

Detective's

Abigail's POV

We've been driving for at least 2 hours now and it sucks. Well, Amanda's been driving for two hours. Aaron decided to join me in the back seat.

'Poor Abi, she'll be lonely back there', he said before sitting next to me while Amanda and a 'detective' friend of hers sat by her. His name was Zach and… it reminded me of Zach, my Zach.

If you had asked me who Zach was 5 hours earlier, I would've said a classmate on whom I had a crush but… I think I regained my memory after meeting mom. She did too. So she technically got help from me and also helped me.

I thought that Aaron wouldn't want Amanda to sit in the front with Zach because you know… only couples sit in the front but I was astonished that he was fine with it. It surprises me how easily he moves on with life. Well, not his entire life but a huge part of it.

It must have hurt him when he found out what a bitch Mitchelle was. I would've gone violent if I were Aaron.

Yet, not even two months after he found out, he's still jolly and I'm glad he hasn't forgotten how to soothe me. I still haven't gotten over the fact that mom is… well, mom. I still had the question, why was she away for so long?! Didn't she care about me?

I wanted to ask Aaron a lot of questions. The first one would be why he didn't tell me that mom thought someone was following her, but Aaron didn't let me. He so simply said 'don't ponder over it right now'. And I didn't.

I thought maybe I would be told something about the case by the 'detectives' in the car. After all, they are still investigating and they know all about… everything.

I also heard that Zach is senior to Amanda in the field and that he's a very cool person. He's also a fan of Pretty Little Liars, just as I am.

Okay, I am diverting from the main topic. Well, after looking out of the window for a while on the long drive to Nevada, where uncle Caleb is, I decided to play on my phone for a while and that's when they talked about 'the affairs' came out.

At least mom wasn't cheating on Mason but uncle Caleb was… and it's really sad. Auntie looked like a good person so I wondered why he cheated on her but before we could continue on that topic my beloved yet irritating brother went 'How about you sleep for a while, peanut. You know… get some Zzz's'.

And even though I objected by punching the window, BMW's bulletproof windows as they say and hurt my hand, I couldn't help but fall asleep in Aaron's arms. It's been a while since I fell asleep on him in a car.

And then I remember waking up once and they drift off again. And then lastly we reached!

The huge hospital, one of the branches of our hospital in Cali, stood just as large as ours is. Aaron had to pull me out of the car because ei was so tired and, once I sleep, it's tough to wake me up and get me going.

The four of us walked into the hospital but I couldn't help but stare at the guns both my detective friend's carried. Zach's was tucked under his 'very expensive' coat while Amanda's was in her huge too and although it wasn't visible, I could imagine it sitting there.

We all reached the floor where Uncle was in and… he looked very weak and old. And the fact that people believe I was the reason was devastating to me. I didn't do it. Why would I?

Uncle Caleb was asleep when we met him and there was no one around so we just walked out. By we, I mean Aaron and i. The others have a business to take care of and if they finish it successfully, they'll get paid handsomely.

Well, Zach will. He'll get the money while Amanda, I'm sure will get something else or maybe I'm wrong and it's just money.

But anyway, it was so exciting. Right? The time was ticking away. The cops were supposed to be here in 20 minutes to take Uncle Caleb's testimony or so the villain thought. Yeah, she lied to Rose. We just wanted her caught in the act trying to murder uncle and hence the detectives.

As both of them have a connection to you know… reducing crime in the country, they have all authority to arrest a person.

I was waiting! Waiting for Rose to attack and get arrested so that I can punch her in the face. She's a total bitch, sorry Aaron but some people are meant to be called a bitch!

We got down the elevator which was… practically full as I thought when dad and mom would show up. Dad didn't look too well this morning when we met him so maybe he wouldn't come… but I wish he did. He would love the drama.

And then just like that. Just as we got out of the elevator, the commotion started. There were noises from the above floors and I knew what it was. Aaron did too because he grinned at me. A sly smile on my brother made me squeal in excitement.

We got back into the elevator, this time it was only us. I couldn't wait to see Rose with handcuffs!

Doing! The doors open and alas, my joy vanished.

In a nurse uniform with a syringe in her hand was… Isabella. Uncle Caleb's wife.

My aunt!
