(The next day)

Alex:(calls Lisa's phone?)what makes you think she is in trouble?

(he asks expressionlessly)

Mr Andrews:she sent some message to her mum yesterday ,saying she was sorry for everything and that she had to go...

Alex:what time was that?(he asked looking at the old man )

Mr Andrews: around 9:00pm (he answered)

Alex:she went out before 9:00pm yesterday and she took my car

Mr Andrews: did you say she took your car?

Alex:mhm(he nodded slightly) 

Mr Andrews: don't you have a tracker maybe in your car

Alex:yes I do,(goes through his phone)let's go,(takes his car keys)

Gabby: (walks into the living room)are you going somewhere?

Alex: mhm...stay  in here and make sure not to go out

Gabby: (nods)morning(greets Mr Andrew with a nod as she smiles)

Mr Andrews:good morning(follows Alex outside to his car they track Lisa's car to the forest in front of the house Lisa went the night before)

Alex:here(he packs his car while he and Mr Andrews makes their way towards the building)

Mr Andrews: Lisa has always been the strange one ,I wonder what she was looking for in a kind of place like this...

Alex:let's go(they walk into the house and Mr Andrews starts to  call Lisa's name then he saw the passage)

Mr Andrews: there(he points to the passage)

Alex:(they both walk through  the passage and Alas they see Lisa's dead body)

Mr Andrews: (bends down to Lisa's dead body)who could do this to you?

Alex:(bends down also)she is dead(feels her pulse even after Mr Andrews confirmed it),the murderer threw something into her heart,and a kind of poison  is in her body ?

Mr Andrews: let's go(he stands up)

Alex:(looks at Mr Andrews) just like that?

Mr Andrews: she had always lived a wayward life ever since she was 13 ,(walks away) (turns back to look at Alex and stares at Lisa's dead body)she has blood on her hands,I will get some of my people to come and get her (he walks away as he makes a call)

Alex:Guess the person took your life in other for you not to disclose anything ,I can't save you now,the poison is circulated through your body,...

(sighs)rest in peace

( covers her eyes and leaves)
