It was a chain.It is really bad,how the police never seriously investigated the murder of my parents and nanny.By now,I'm sure the statutes of limitations had expired.Must I take the law into my hand?."I must find the owner of this chain"I spoke with determination.
I'm sure the owner might be related to my mom or my nanny's death because I had never seen my mom or nanny wear this.The chain looked as if it was torn,some of the parts were not there.Perhaps, it got into this state while my nanny or mom tried to wrestle with the killer.
For now,I am very sure that it was Juan who killed my dad but I am yet to find out if Juan was behind the death of my mom or nanny.
I never asked the neighbors if they found anything suspicious before the death of my parents.I was too busy running for my life.But what could they possibly tell me?,that Juan Pablo payed them huge sums of money to keep their mouths shut or maybe they were killed for seeing it?
Thinking of all this made me loose my appetite.I kept the chain in my wallet.I should get a good sleep.Tomorrow is my revenge day 2.I must really prepare for it.
I moved into my bedroom,it's been 10 years since I ever slept on my bed.I thought about what i will be doing the next day.Before I knew it I dazed off.
The loud sound of an alarm woke me up the next morning.It was 9:59 am.I wondered why I really set the alarm at 9:59,what did I use to do during this time 10 years back. "I have to ask the woman next house some questions"I said to myself as I stormed downstairs
I freshened up and got ready for the day."It's revenge day 2!!!"I said while ignoring anyone who would hear this."Who even cared about my revenge?"I asked myself.
I walked straight to the next house.It belonged to Miss Vivian.Miss Vivian was a neighbor who did not like our family.I wondered why I was going to ask her those questions."I'm sure she'll slam her door once she sees me"I muttered to myself and giggled.
I knocked on the door,as usual,there was no reply.I wonder why that woman doesn't open her door no matter how hard one knocked."Anybody home?"I asked."ouch!!,I nearly broke my knuckles"I lamented as a boy ambushed me from behind.
"Hey,are you that naive?"He asked quizzically."Can't you see,there's someone at your back"He continued.
"Hey lad,is that how you were taught to treat the elderly??,ambushing them from the back?"
"Ooh no sir,I just thought you had some sense of humor.I didn't know it will end up like this"The boy said sadly.But no I wouldn't stop,I continued to question the boy.
"What if I died from a heart attack,would you have taken responsibility?."Now you know I have no sense of humor.Shoosh!!,go away,get lost!!
"Sir but you're standing in my way,please pave way"He said politely.
Really?,you live here?.The lad smiled as he said"yes".Please can you do me a favor by telling your mom someone is at the door to meet her?
"Okay bro,I sure will"He promised.
I was now really sorry for scolding him.I know this is not the real me.The real me has always been a warm and friendly person but the death of my parents has really made me cold.I'm just open to a few.
Miss Vivian came out from the room 2 minutes later."Hello Miss Vivian"I commented and stared at her quizzically waiting for a reply.
"How did you know my name?,Why are you here? and who are you?.
"Miss Vivian I'm Jay,the son of Olivia Montero and Julio Montero,your neighbors next door."
Miss Vivian looked transfixed,she was motionless as tears flowed down her eyes.As if struck by some lightning,she stared at me blankly."No,you're not Jay,Jay didn't look like this when I last saw him.Jay was a very small boy and you're not him"."And even if you are him what do you want from me?"Miss Vivian questioned.I know that if your mother was alive,she wouldn't have wanted to see you near me.Go away,I want peace in my life and moreover I don't want Olivia's ghost hunting me.
Miss Vivian,"I am Jay,it's been 10 years and I have changed,so have you.Moreover I had a plastic surgery".
"And I know my mother would not want me coming near you because you hated us.Why would we go where someone hates us?"
"And was that my fault!!!?" Miss Vivian exclaimed whiles asking.
"You basically hated us because of the noise we made using our loud speakers".
"And who said so?"Miss Vivian demanded."you know what Jay,it's either we go inside and talk or you go away,we're drawing too much attention."
What did you mean when you said "it was not your fault for hating us"I demanded.??
