Minutes and seconds pass quickly and Elizabeth is inside the car, feeling Jack's gaze on her from the mirror.
Slowly, she hides her hands in her pockets when she feels him casting his eyes on her hands, perhaps he noticed traces of the light blood ___
"Hello, miss." A soft voice breaks the silence. It's Police Officer 'Clara' sitting in the front seat, smiling warmly at Elizabeth, waving to her... Now that her features are visible, Elizabeth notices that she's a young woman with warm features.
"Hello," she replied in a calm voice, she didn't really feel threatened by her. Just then her phone rang. It was her aunt...
Elizabeth opens the call with complete ease, talking to her aunt, mumbling, "Yes, yes, that's what happened!!" She tells her what's happening, she feels their eyes on her throughout the call, and so she hangs up with her aunt, who seems very angry at the sound of the phone...
"expected Isabella " Jack whispers boredly, rolling his eyes out his car window.
On the other hand, his whisper must have really shocked Elizabeth. "You know my aunt?!" She said in a surprised voice, making her jump from her seat without even noticing...
"Yes, who doesn't know her! She's a really famous forensic doctor," Clara tells her cheerfully, making Jack look at her slowly. "I told you a hundred times not to talk too much to the person we're going to interrogate," he grips his steering wheel tightly, a look of disbelief slowly forming on his face.
"Sorry," Clara mutters in embarrassment, looking away, trying to hide her obvious embarrassment.
On the other hand, Elizabeth's eyes go between them both with complete curiosity, 'he knows my aunt then,' she whispers to herself as she leans back in the chair, completely confused, her mind trying to connect what is happening in return
The young girl doesn't really feel the time passing. The street has become dark, announcing the end of the morning , Only then the car finally stop in front of the police station.
The dim lights of the street lamps hit Elizabeth's face as soon as she opened the car door. Despite the silence of the street, the police station was bustling with footsteps and voices as she walked behind Jack and Clara. The looks around her turned towards her as soon as she entered, between indifference and curiosity from the policemen ___
"Let's go then," Jack says calmly, turning to her to follow him to his room at the end of the wide corridor as he tell Clara to wait outside until he ask for her.
And so Elizabeth finds herself sitting in a seat opposite a man she hardly knows in a silent room with a table in the middle of them. She almost thinks she can hear her heartbeat like an echo from the intensity of the silence of the room. How uncomfortable it is trying to sit up straight. Completely opposite to her, Jack sits with a face devoid of a smile. "So tell me, miss, what is your name?" He is holding a yellow file in his right hand and his cigarette in the other.
Elizabeth slowly raises her head, "Elizabeth," she replies, and he immediately asks her, "What is your father's job?" in a steady voice.
"Why don't you ask me my age or what school or university I'm in, for example!" She says in even greater confusion, not knowing why. She starts trying to look at the file in his hand, but it seems that there is no one here to answer the confused girl.
"No need, all your information is in the file." Jack leans back in his chair as he looks at her from behind the file with boredom, making Elizabeth frown. "And if all my information is in this paper, why are you asking me in the first place?" She looks at his face and his expression, wishing she could break this dry expression to analyze his actions and what he is aiming for.
Again he responds to her with a sarcastic smile this time, "Just routine." Then the smile quickly disappears as he continues, "So what is your father's job?" He seems very comfortable in his chair for someone interrogating a girl who is about to strangle him from the intensity of his provocation .
"Journalist," Elizabeth says slowly after taking a deep breath to calm herself. 'Calm down. There's nothing to be nervous about.' She tells herself, only to be surprised by the sound of something hitting the table hard.
It's Jack. He threw the file on the table. "And also?" He crossed his legs, focusing all his attention on her...
Elizabeth doesn't know when she started casting her eyes on the file slowly. 'Strange.' It must be.. It's a file full of information about a strange woman. Elizabeth's eyes don't leave the words. 'The victim is Mary Kate.' The words move and Elizabeth's eyes Focus on the name and the words below it... They automatically widen. 'The cause of death was burning to death.' The words came out of her throat like wildfire.
"WHAT!!" Elizabeth screams but before she can read any further a large hand blocks the words. It's Jack. "Oops! Wrong file." He pulls the file away, lifting another file from his lap , He smiles slyly. "So tell me, Elizabeth, is there any other information about your father that you know?" He opens the other file.
Only here Elizabeth lose her temper, she stands up "Are you trying to get on my nerves!!! just saying what you want!!!" At the same moment the door suddenly opens it's Clara looking at both of them nervously "Sir.. miss Isabella is outside and also.. she's really angry" And before she can finish sharp footsteps enter ,door pusher it's Isabella wearing a medical coat it seems she came from work immediately ___
"aunt Isabella! !!" Elizabeth runs towards her in surprise and hugs her.
