Chapter 98

Why am I been called to the police station, hope none of those guys have gotten themselves in trouble and needs me to come help them out Mr Peterson thought to himself. He took his phone and called the guy trailing Arianna so he can get information from him regarding her whereabouts and what she was up to, because he was beginning to love the way he knows whatever she does from when she's sleeping to when she takes her bathe. Even what she ate for breakfast this morning he knows. "Get the car he told his driver rudely". On his way to the police station he was admiring the girls non the road and thinking to himself that he could have all the girls in the world but because of his eye patch they wouldn't fall in love with him. This further put him in a nasty mood than he was already. He started yelling at his driver if he couldn't go any faster than he's going, why was he so slow at everything he does. In record time they got to the police station and he met Arianna at the police station, he started thinking about why she was there. He thought maybe they've found something on him, but he was always careful with anything he does, so he wouldn't get caught but what is going on. He quickly put a mint in his mouth to chase away the bad odour coming from his mouth then he smiled as if there's nothing wrong with the world. At the other part of town, Paul and Aurora were trying to sneak into his house and find something but it proved a challenge because at every turn there was a surveillance camera which made it extremely difficult to search for anything, meanwhile in the police station Mr Peterson already took his seat beside Arianna and requested to know the reason for the meeting. "Thank you for coming on such short invitation, the police officer", said stretching forth his hands for a hand shake. Mr Peterson accepted his hand shake and said hi to Arianna who mumbled an hello in response. So it has come to our notice that you were in the house of victim a month before they were murdered and it seems you were having an argument? Is that true. Yes, I was in the victim's house a month before they passed, but all was well with us. He replied calmly. Ok, so can you take us through the entire conversation you had with them on that said night. Well, myself and the victims were friends since college, Mr Peterson started. "On the said night I went there to ask them about our bond we buried.he continued. If you are curious about what the bond is, it is a piece of something we held dear and we buried it at a place and planted a tree on it and wrote the location on a map and kept it in a safety deposit box and we promised we would get back after twenty years so that was what I came there to discuss" Mr Peterson finished narrating his story flourishly. Not long after my phone beeped signifying a message, I quickly checked it because we were going out of time. "We can't find anything because the house is guarded by multiple CCTV cameras and there are guards everywhere. We have to abort the mission". The message read. "So was that the reason you went to their home at such an ungodly hour?" The police officer asked. "Well could you blame me?, I was just enthusiastic". Mr Peterson said . I think he was beginning to grow impatient with the police way he was asking if he could go, Arianna thought. The police officer asked him to narrate their time at college to him. His face became cloudy ad if he struck a nerve. And he began talking, he narrated how he was the star athlete and was loved by all right from his high school days and he got to college and the fame continued, he also said he was loved by all the ladies, but he had eyes only for one, we believed because he talked fondly of her but she couldn't forgive one tiny mistake he made when he was drunk and she left him. This prompted the police officer vro ask why she left him, well in his own words he said her best friend seduced him and she found out about it, because a loser filmed it and sent it to her so she can break up with him. When she broke up with him he couldn't take it any more and he turned to the bottle and lost concentration and he was asked to withdraw from the football team and she started dating the loser who filmed it and he was made the star athlete of the team. He was also doing bad in his studies but he didn't care, he only wanted to get back to been the star player and to get her back, he was drunk and driving he didn't see the vehicle up front. At the last minute he diverted and took left only for him to ram into a tree and that cost him his eyes. He finished narrating. "So did you go back to school afterwards?" The police officer inquired. "Yes. I did I took a year break and got back to school but already my peers were already ahead of me", He said sadly. " I layed low and finished college, but you what it was never the same again. Because instead of adoration I get from the girls he was getting it, I only got sneers and people that once worshipped me, began to make mockery of me". Mr Peterson said. "What about your friends what did they do?, The officer asked. "Well they tried been friendly with me the way we were before the accident but I felt different from them. They were beautiful and perfect I only tinted that perfection". He replied. "I have to go now", if that's all Mr Peterson said standing up. "Oh no", Arianna panicked. "I'll go with you", Arianna said. "What do you mean?" Mr Peterson asked. "I'll stay with you starting from today". She said firmly this time around.
