Chapter 7 - CHAPTER 7( MENA IS INNOCENT)

present day

Devon,Shawn and Greg sits in Shawn parlour, Greg filling them with the details of his conversation with Naomi ticking her off the list

What do you mean , Kelsey was gay , my daughter was straight and she wouldn't compromise,I raised a Christian child , Devon said almost raising her voice,Shawn taps her signaling her to calm down

No don't tell me to calm down , can't you here what his saying, Devon says

Devon please calm down, I didn't believe it myself not until I met Naomi, she also has evidence, the bracelet your daughter wears ,she also has the other half, Greg says.

That's what am trying to make you understand, Kelsey never hides a thing from me, we were best friends, Devon says

There is also a problem, Greg says

what is it? Devon snaps

Naomi also mentioned she saw another person leaving her and the person according to description happens to be Mena, Greg says

yeah she was there, they went to the party together, Shawn agrees

Well I think she also has to be questioned, Greg says " you really can't trust no one"

Are you kidding me? Devon ask and laughs sarcastically

now you think Mena did this? do you even know your job , Devon ask

Devon you need to calm down, Shawn says

first he calls my daughter gay now his saying her best friend and sister might be responsible for her death, what is wrong with him, Devon says

Am not saying that ,am only saying,she might have something to say, Greg defends

Can you hear yourself, a girl who almost killed herself all because she couldn't stand the fact that her friend was gone , what makes you think she will be in a right sense for this, Devon says

Devon I don't see wat his saying as wrong, Shawn says

I won't let this mad man bombard my daughter with this trauma, your officially off the team , we are getting another detective tomorrow, Devon says

what? Shawn exclaims surprised ,he takes her to the kitchen

what are you doing? he asked

didn't you hear him? Devon ask

Babe his only doing his job, Shawn says

well clearly his delusional, Devon says

What is really the problem here? Shawn ask

I don't understand, Devon says

you ve been acting all up, being all cranky for little issues, Shawn says and Devon lowers her eyes,

she raises them and they are filled with tears

Am sorry Shawn but am scared, she says

how much more was Kelsey hiding? Am loosing it cause it hurts to know her sexuality from someone else a total stranger, it's hurts a lot, Devon says ,Shawn holds her and hugs her,

I understand and am sorry,you have to go through this, listen I know it's hard but we gonna pull through my love, Shawn says

" i also believe Mena is innocent but if you don't want her to be involved then I ll tell Greg to move on to someone else, Shawn says

just then Mena appears

I ll do it, we have to know who killed my sister and if taking me in for questioning would help the process,I really don't mind, Mena says

Devon rushes to her

no baby you won't be getting involved I believe you, Devon says

please mum, Mena begs" I really miss my sister" and I ll do anything to ensure we find out the truth, please let me do this , Mena begs

Devon notices that she wouldn't change her mind sighs, Shawn takes the women back to the living room

please go ahead, Shawn tells Greg

Am sorry for earlier, Devon apologized

its fine and I understand but I promise we would get to the root of this, Greg says

Greg takes Mena to his personal office, he agrees with himself to keep it cool and simple since shes also affected by the loss of her friend,

I understand Mena this is hard for you but I ll need you to cooperate with me , and I want you to know that every detail , every piece of information matter, I ll be needing every thing you know, in that sense ,i ll would want you to trust me, can we do that Mena? Greg ask

yes , Mena murmurs

How many of you applied for the scholarship?

14, Mena replies

and eventually only 7 of you were qualified, Greg says

No 8 , Kelsey the 8 person, Mena replies

How come? Greg asked

We were also shocked,but she was my friend so I had no words, Mena says

How did you feel when she eventually got it, Greg asked

Mena pauses and sniffs

Mena , Greg calls

I do not want to be bias but I feel it's was rigged,Mena says

Rigged? Greg ask and pause "by who?

Am not certain,I mean Kelsey wouldn't do that,Mena says "Atleast I trust her , Mena says

Do you think she had anyone she wasn't in great terms with? I mean except you after the Smith incident, Greg ask

none, Mena lies

Greg stares at her for a while,

You invited Naomi Tims to the party, why? Greg ask

she wanted to come, I meant no harm, Mena says

But you also told her mother you left her alone, why didn't you mention Naomi Tims? Greg asked

How do I tell her Miss Devon that her daughter was gay, she didn't believe you, for me she could warn Kelsey to stop being friends with me, Mena ask "plus my dad loves her, i wouldn't do that to hurt my family, mena says

you had many discussions with Naomi, Smith, Evans all these behind Kelsey, do you agree with me that u also had some uncertain business with them and issues with Kelsey? Greg says

false , Mena says " Am exhausted,can I leave now?

Greg smiles

very well then, thank you for your time? Greg says and walks out with her

mena rushes into the arms of Devon, Shawn stares at Greg , trying to find answers through his eyes,but Greg kept a straight face,

Are you okay? Devon ask Mena and Mena only nods

This is just getting too interesting, Greg says

Shawn takes Greg out
