Chapter 5 - A body was found!

"I swear I didn't kill her. She was already dead when I saw her", Sandra blurted out when they got to the police station. " What are you talking about, young lady?", Emily asked sternly. "I was saying Hailey was already dead when I saw her", Sandra repeated again. " I told you to stay quiet else it would be used against you in the court of law", Sam said to her. "I can't just stay put when someone is about to frame me up for something I didn't do and something I know nothing about", Sandra defended herself. " Then who said Hailey is dead?", Sam asked and Sandra face became pale, Sam continued, "I only arrested you because she was missing but now, I think I'm going to charge you for her murder, if truly she's dead", Sam concluded. " I swear I didn't do it", Sandra said with fear, " I really didn't do it", she pleaded. Then Emily's phone rang and she went to a side to pick the call, "Yeah, hello... Yes, detective Sam is here with me... Yeah... Oh my!!!... Shit, we'll be there soon... Yeah, share me your location... We'll be there in a bit", she dropped the call and turned to Sam, " A body was found and its suspected to be Hailey's", Sam sat up from his seat and said while picking up his rifle, "Contact one of Hailey's family member for confirmation", he continued, " Let's head out", he picked his drak sunglasses and left with Emily while Sandra was locked up. She sat on the floor of the cell and tears dropped from her eyes as she remembered the events of the day she saw Hailey last.

Sandra's POV

Hailey got down from her looking beautiful as ever as she can be. I always felt a bit jealous of her and everything she has and has acquired. She came over to my place for a sleepover and I was excited about it because usually, we'd have fun and even get ourselves drunk and suffer hangover the following morning and we usually do this on a Friday night since we won't be going to work the following day but Hailey works in a mortgage company that requires her to ho to work on some Saturdays. That Friday evening she came over with a 'good news', in her own term but it was a bad news for me because I became extremely jealous. She started talking about her 'good news' and it infuriated me because she knew it was my dream goal. It's like this, I told her about a modelling company I'd love to join and she was the one who even encouraged me to submit my resume and I was asked to come back which I did. It was fine and I was modelling for a company but the pay wasn't to my taste. Her 'good news' was that she was also called to model and she did and it was my dream company that assigned her to be their model, she was jumping up around, on my bed. I had to behave and pretend like I was happy because Hailey was a smart girl, she figures out one's emotions quickly. We had a wonderful night and I was very sure Hailey figured out that I wasn't myself, maybe that was why she left immediately saying she had to go to work by noon the following day. Yeah, I arranged for someone to kidnap and destroy her beauty, not to kill her though. But the funniest thing was that, two nights ago, I was coming back from shopping where we normally get our groceries from and on my way I came to meet with Hailey's body, obviously dead though, I couldn't dare to touch her because I wouldn't want my prints on what I know nothing about. I was so very much scared and that was why I stayed indoor since that day. I immediately contacted the ones I sent after her, they all assured me that they weren't able to touch her as she was murdered right in front of them. They told me they found Stone's men there too. But who else could have been after Hailey's life and had the effrontery to call Stone on her. Could it be her boyfriend? I remember her telling me she denied him sex and since then he's been giving her cold attitude, he was also abusive, he beats her up at every opportunity he gets anytime Hailey confronted him for being wayward. I don't know what to do. I'm clueless. No matter his jealous I can be towards Hailey, I can't afford her death, she's been the very best friend and sister I never had. Now I regret ever sending goons after her. But who killed her? It has to her her boyfriend.
