Liam hung up and exhaled. He headed back to the office just to see Emma walking out of his office with some sort of expression he comprehended. He walked briskly to her and grabbed her arm.
" what are you doing in my office?",
" I...I went to drop the files",
" And?",
" and...and. she...",
" she what",
" she was asking me some questions that what's is a car and why it kills", she rushed the words,
" and l?",
" that's all, that's all",
He let go of her arm reluctantly and dashed into the room.
" What did you say to her?",
" you mean that human?",
" no, that animal, I'm asking you what did you say to her?", his voice was so deep and vibrating that which made her short of words
"i...I asked her about the car",
" what game are you playing huh?", he walked closer to her while she stepped back the closer he came," trying to play dumb huh? You don't know what a car is ?", he scoffed at how ridiculous she sounded but she nodded her head innocently. The look on how face tells him she truly doesn't know what it is which confuses him even more.
' where the hell is she from that she doesn't know what a car is ',
" I'm not from this world", she said as if she knew what was going on in his mind,
" Where then are you from",
" Akarsto",
"Aca..acarsto?",
" no Akarsto",
Liam furrowed his brow, he had never had of such a place. He went over to his desk and researched it online but it said 'Such a place does not exist'. He scoffed and laughed,
" did you say Akarsto?",
She nodded,
" hey don't give me that innocent look there's no such place",
" that's because it's not in this universe, it's another universe",
" you mean another planet?",
" yes",
He nodded and collapsed into the chair, " She's psycho".
" hey you didn't do what I asked you to do", the first person said over the phone,
" I did exactly what you told me",
" no you didn't", the first person yelled,
" you told me to kill her and dumb it on him",
" And is that what you did?",
" Sure, I broke into his house and dropped the corpse in his room",
" And did you call the cops?",
" you didn't tell me to",
" you fool, now the corpse is found at the beach, you dummy",
" well he's just smart enough to know he should dumb it, so I'll be waiting for my balance",
" you must be sick, there's no balance to a job not well done",
" hey are you playing, don't toy with me if you don't want your balls to stick out of your brain",
" you are crazy", the unknown person hung up,
The killer cracked his neck, " Yes I'm crazy when it comes to money".
************************
Amelia was busy eating every single fruit she could set her eyes on. She ensured the kitchen remained clean as she ate as she hates dirtiness. Liam was in the bedroom unaware of what was going on in his kitchen, he sat on his bed thinking of who could have tried to implicate him and no matter how he thought of it, he could only suspect David and Tedros but Tredos was out of town at the moment leaving his suspicious with David. He sighed, his grey eyes were dark and his lips were firm with his fist that clenched with rage like it was going to explode at any time but then he heard the sound of a car coming into his compound. He stood up and peeped through the window. It was Ryan.
Ryan and Williams alighted from the car and headed towards the entrance.
"Hey can you stop chewing that gum?", Ryan said feeling disgusted at the noise it made,
" no buddy", he replied smoothening his hair with his hand.
Liam met them at the door,
"Hey!!", he glared at Ryan who immediately understood.
" he said he wants to tag along".
Liam scoffed,
" What? don't you miss me ?", Williams pouted," and stop looking like that, you don't look cute, it makes you look like an angry bird",
"No Tinkerbell", Ryan added as they walked past him.
"Let's go to the study room", he said,
"Why?", Ryan asked,
"You'll know soon enough".
Williams collapsed on the sofa immediately after they got to the study room before others took their seat,
"Hasn't changed at all after all this time", Ryan said looking around,
"Stop talking like it's been a while since you've been here",
"Hasn't it?",
"Hey! It's just a month",
" it's not even a month yet", Williams corrected, " it's three weeks six days",
Liam rolled his eyes, "So...", he then yelled, "Hey!! Are you still chewing gum",
"Stop yelling at me you are being scary",
" he's always scary",
"Throw it away",
"After a few more seconds",
" just ignore Williams", Ryan chuckled, "Now to business, what the hell did you say you do to Catherine",
" Catherine? Did he know something about her death", Williams threw away the gum,
" beat me",
" I found her corpse on my bed", he narrated what happened,
" OMG!! This is crazy",
"Wow", Ryan was speechless,
"But did you think it's wise to dump the corpse, the real killer will be found nevertheless it will implicate you more if they find out you are the one who dumb the body and then it will be hard to believe you are not the killer", Williams said,
"Wow seems it's not only woman you have in your head after all", Ryan scoffed,
"Well",
" Okay, so what now are you saying you have a girl in this house at this moment?",
"Yeah",
" OMG is she pretty? Is she endowed?",
"Hey",
"Now this is Williams", Ryan said to his hearing,
"She is not just a girl, she's a psycho",
"A psycho?",
"You heard me",
"In what sense?", Ryan asked,
"She's so rude and...",
"You are also rude", Williams cut him short while Ryan tried not to laugh,
"Seriously man", Liam eyed him,
"She's rude and what?",
"She's rude, confusing, and stupid. You won't believe she was asking what a car is and you need to see what happened this evening",
( flashback)
Amelia entered the house after Liam who proceeded to switch on the Television.
"Ah....", She screamed,
" Hey, what's wrong",
"How...how can humans live inside that thing is there anything you people can't stay inside you stayed inside a car and how can you even enter this small thing", she shouted rushing her words. Liam stood transfixed.
"This...is Television", he blinked looking confused,
" Telefision?",
" Television", he corrected,
"Is this also a baby?",
"Hey, are you kidding me right now?",
" I should be asking you that or perhaps did you kidnap...?",
"No",
"Then why are they there?",
Liam looked at her like she was crazy and just walked to his room looking back several times to see once again if she was normal at all.
....Liam entered the kitchen with Amelia following behind,
"Stop following me around",
"Didn't you say I need to stick with you?",
" I mean stay around me ",
"And is that simply not what I'm doing? Moreover, I'm just curious about what's in here that's why I followed you",
"This isn't your house", he glared at her. His fierce stare makes her gulp down an empty lump. Her eyes caught the knives and other utensils,
"Did you go to war?",
"Do I look like a militarian?",
"What's a militarian?",
He clench his fist and gritted his teeth, " Is there anything you know or understand you dumbass?",
"There's nothing I know about this human world",
He roughened his hair and yelled at her, "Where then are you from?",
" I told you, I come from Akarsto",
"Do I look like I'm joking right now",
" I'm telling the truth",
"So you are from another planet huh?",
"Yes",
"What are you? an alien? a bird, a human from another planet?", he looked at her like she was crazy,
"No, I'm not human",
"Then what are you?",...
