Chapter 6 - Dispelling the shadows of the night

Mr.Jackson, without any further delay gave the details of the story.

Mr.Jackson caught Anne who was sneaking around his house one evening, that day he had no choice but to reveal that he and her father were drug dealers because Anne found a bunch of drug cartoons in his house and threatened him of reporting it, if he didn't answer her questions.

Mrs.Jade was herself taken aback by the truth , how hard had it been for a teen like Anne to digest the truth about her father's untold part of life.

Mr.Jackson continued, that Anne's father was murdered and his death was framed as an accident. And the reason why he was murdered was because he no longer wanted to be a drug dealer as he himself witnessed many youngsters who were burned-out of their life due to their drug addiction, it was a horrible scene to witness,he said that he was reminded of Anne who was also a young girl and that he will protect all those young children who were pale and thin, haunted by cravings, yearning to escape from the chains of addiction, a desparate plea in their eyes.

In the end he searched high and low for evidence against the peddlers and decided to surrender himself to the police officers, he succeeded in finding the evidence but he was scared that his family will face danger because of him, so he hid in silence for a few days and secretly contacted a higher police officer and suggested that he would provide him the evidence against the drug peddlers only if he protected his family. But after two days he (Anne's father) was found dead.

"I couldn't face you nor could I muster up my courage to tell you all this and I know nothing more than this and this is all I told Anne, she ran towards her house as soon as she finished talking." Mr.Jackson added.
