Sia hugged back her mom and cried. "I'm sorry mom. I didn't mean to hurt you but I have nothing left now. My bestfriend lost her life in saving me and I got ra-" She couldn't complete her words.
She pushed her mom and turned her face back at her. Her mom was confused and was about to ask her but her father pulled her mom outside saying she needed rest.
Sia was left in room with her friends Hannah and Kate. They both went near to her. " Please leave me alone." She said wiping her tears.
" Sia, what's wrong with you? We are your friends. You can share everything with us. What you tried to do was unbelievable and shocking one. Don't you dare try again." Kate said crying and hugged her.
" Liz-Liza.. her death was not an accident. It was my fault." Sia said in low voice weeping.
" What? That accident?" Hannah asked in shock.
" No, not an accident..Its a murder and I'm the witness." Sia explained everything to that with lots of difficulty. They both had their eyes filled with tears.
As soon as she stopped explaining, they both hugged her and Kate wiped her tears. " This much happened and instead of telling your parents or cops, you did that stupidity." Hannah said in soft voice.
" How could I tell them that I was raped? I got the result of disobeying them. I lied to them about club and this happened. I am guilty."
Kate grabbed Sia's hand and said "What happened is gone. Liza's murder was hidden intentionally with an accident so there's deep crime within them. We have to fight for justice to both of you. You have to live for Liza and her justice. Sia you have to be strong. Your guilt can be washed away by her justice."
Sia thought deeply and looked at them. " Please I want to be alone."
" Were you even listening to me?" Kate said standing up.
" I need some time alone. I agree with you but for now leave me alone." Sia said in normal voice.
" Ok fine. We will be outside if you need anything. We brought your clothes, you can take shower and freshen up." Kate said keeping her bad near Sia's bed.
Hannah and Kate left the room. They told everything to Sia's parents who were aware about Sia's rape. They were in worst state seeing their daughter in that condition.
Meanwhile, Sia got up from the bed and went to the bathroom. She looked at the mirror and saw her image. She was all messed up. Her eyes were swollen and had dark circles. Her hair was totally messed up and her scars were lightly visible.
She thought about the thing that Kate told her closing her eyes. She opened her eyes and washed her face. Then she took a cold Shower. The cold body ran down her body and she started to think what Kate said was right. She should fight for justice. The people who killed Liza and raped her must be punished.
She got out of bathroom and called for Hannah and Kate. They rushed inside the room. " Get me out of hospital now. We need to find cops." Sia said tieing her shoelaces.
Hannah and Kate were happy that she acted normally but they didn't knew, the feeling of revenge was already implanted within her and that would change all of their life in an unimagined way.
Sia talked nicely to her parents and aware of her state, they cooperated with her like nothing happened. She requested them to return back to home and support her in her next step.
They were all clear about was Sia was upto and agreed. They couldn't do anything about it as she was stubborn and would go for wrong step if they said anything.
Sia took Hannah and Kate to visit cops and there to their astonishment, the cops denied to listen to what Sia's statement was. They refused to file the case saying it was an accident and Sia was just out from hospital and was not in right consciousness.
Sia got out of police station in anger and her friends followed her. " Sia, don't worry we will talk with higher level officers." Hannah said trying to console her.
" Yes we will." Kate agreed.
" No use." Sia hit on the wall with her fist. She got inside her car and her friends followed. They reached to Sia's house.
They all sat in the living room silently. Sia's mom brought coffee for all of them. Then Sia got up from sofa.
" I will not give up. I will punish them myself. I will not let them go with what they have done." Sia said in anger.
" Sia, what are you talking about? We are common people, we can't punish people, we don't have right. If we do anything, we will be criminals like them." Sia's dad spoke.
" Dad, Cops tried to hide that crime, that means no one can help us and law can't do anything. Liza's murder was done by stabbing with knife but someone faked her accident and burned her body in a car eliminating all the proofs. There must be someone powerful behind it."
" And not only this, my rape was also linked with it. I was kept in a luxurious hotel by those goons. If they were ordinary criminals they would leave me in roadside but no, one of them threw money at me as if I was bought by him." Sia said in anger.
" Ok calm dowm Sia. But what can we do? We are common people, not some raw agents of investigation bureau." Kate said.
" Wait a second, raw agents? I know a raw agent. She can be a help." Hannah said stamding up while all of them looked at her in confusion.
" You know my sister right? She is a teacher but she is also an undercover raw agent which only we know about. She has links and can help us." Hannah said crossing her arm.
" Thank you Hannah but its a dangerous job. Sia will not get involved in this." Sia's mom said quickly.
" No mom, I will do whatever it takes for punishing those murderers. Hannah we will meet you sister tomorrow at your home." Sia then went to her room upstairs.
All were worried about her reaction. Sia was never this serious about something. She had lots of guilt and she was also sad. She was making effort to get to the criminals which was a dangerous job.
Sia took shower and changed her clothes. She was about to lock her door but suddenly she heard her window pan breaking. She saw a ball of paper on the floor. There was a stone wrapped by paper and on the paper, there was a note - Stop searching for us Kid, don't play with fire, you will get yourself burned. You reached to cops but it was no use so don't make other attempts and live peacefully or you will lose your life. Not by suicide this time, by accident like that of your friend.
Sia read it all and saw out of window to see no one. Her parents came running by and asked what happened. They might have heard the window pan breaking. Sia smiled and said "Nothing mom, some naughty child threw stone and it broke the window pan." She showed the stone and hid the paper.
Sia's dad gave out a long breath and said " I will get it changed tomorrow, you rest well." Saying this they left the room and Sia kept the note in her bag immediately.
