Her Secret Investigation

Chapter five.

Selena sighed for the tenth time in the taxi that she was riding. She looked outside and just stared at the surroundings blurring by. She was still confused as to why she had accepted Owen, Andrew and Darral's request.

Andrew was really smart and he was the best analyst they had in their force but despite that, Andrew agreed with Darral's dumb idea. Selena didn't believe that Asriel Parker was guilty as Darral, Andrew and Owen did.

But putting Darral's points into consideration and stating Asriel Parker as the killer, it was possible.

It could be that Asriel was just putting himself as the victim just so that he would be removed from the culprit list and he probably didn't flee the country because it would be suspicious. Asriel Parker had mommy abandonment issues when he was younger and probably hated women, hence the psychotic killing. Besides, if he didn't want the other women dead then why didn't he let them live with him? Why was he so careless as to date them and not keep them in his house. He knew what happened each time he dated so why did he go ahead anyway?

Maybe Darral's thinking was way off or it was as accurate as it usually was. Either way, Selena didn't understand why she had agreed to their idea. She was a woman and to do what they asked, she had to get closer to Asriel but getting closer to him meant that she would be the new Parker girl killer target. Again she sighed. She just couldn't help it.

"We are here miss." The taxi driver said, snapping her out of her trance. She removed her money from her pocket and paid him. "Whatever it is that is making you sigh, it will get better soon."

She smiled back at the man and thanked him then got out of the car, heading straight to her house. She opened the door and went straight to the kitchen in search of her dinner. For some reason, she was feeling very hungry.

She found Gina in her pajamas, standing by the kitchen sink while eating a bowl of ice cream.

"Hey Gina." Selena said heading to the fridge. Gina smiled at her but did not say a word _ a clear sign that Gina was unhappy about something. That made Selena frown. She sighed and crossed her arms. "What's wrong Gina?"

"The fact that you left the door wide open justifies the actions I was starting to feel guilty about." Gina said, holding her sweet smile that carried so many threats.

Crap. Selena smacked her forehead as she headed back to the front door that she had just come in through. Of all days, she chose this one to leave  the door wide open. That was just the luck she needed. Selena understood Gina's overemphasis of always closing the windows and locking the all doors and not allowing strangers into the house. They lived in a neighborhood with burglars and killers. The strange part was that most people looked like they could afford two expensive cars and a motorcycle, so the mysterious thieves were always just that to her _ mysterious. Maybe they weren't even from that neighborhood.

She headed back to the kitchen and found that Gina had set up her food on a plate _ to be specific, her ice-cream on a plate. Selena looked at the plate and then at Gina then back to the plate again. She didn't like the look of either.

"Uhm Gina, why is there ice-cream for dinner?" Selena asked, fearing the worst answer. Gina licked her spoon clean and put her bowl in the sink before turning to answer her.

"I was upset so I sold all our food and replaced everything in the fridge with ice-cream." Gina said. Selena's mouth quirked up to form a smile and she shook her head in amusement. Gina and her temper tantrums always did that to her; they amused her.

"So I might be dead in a few days." Selena blurted randomly. She had her eyes on her phone ordering pizza. At least Gina didn't do something like renting out the house again. Yes, she had done it before just to prove to some random man that she was free to do whatever the hell she wanted.
