2020-11-21 16:25:45I'm locked up in a dark room when I finally come around. I'm still in cuffs and the cold floor ain't giving me any peace. I'm shivering to the core and I'm afraid I'll catch a cold or something worse.
So these people decided to dump me in a cell instead of a hospital?
Anyway, what rights does a common criminal like myself have?
I hear some murmuring outside but I can't see anyone.
I hear the clicking of a lock and the door is suddenly opened.
The same middle aged female cop is here, smiling as usual.
“Darlene, we've been instructed to transfer you to a remand awaiting your appeal day.”
“Remand? Appeal?”
I ask astonished.
“Don't you want to appeal? Don't you want justice to be done?”
She questions still smiling.
“I'd love to but...”
I trail in my own voice.
“Let's move. You'll be presented in court

Cold Vengeance Chapter 38: Epilogue
DARLENEI know Frank was a troublesome person but he didn't deserve to die before changing his ways.I can't even place a finger to when he stopped being a good person and turned out to be a criminal! How I wish he didn't hang himself! Oh no!This is definitely gonna be a sad moment for his parents. I know they will blame us, just like they did with Kate's death but what more can we do? We can't just change nature.Things have already happened and we've no option but to accept them as they are!***It's a Monday morning and I've already dropped Shone to school. It's exactly three months since Frank was buried and we were all surprised by the fact that his parents never blamed us. I wonder what's going on in their minds.After dropping him, I drive to work all alone since Jeff is attending to some other business stuff therefore he woke up very early to

DARLENE“Frank dug his own grave.” Jeff says after narrating everything to me. They've just arrived after passing by the police station to record their statements.“He sure has.” I say. “I wonder when he turned to be such a beast!” I'm angry at him for one reason though! He kidnapped my son and on top of that fed the kid with lies. Why should he lie that we killed his parents? I'm now more than convinced that he's sick in the head!He has been locked in the cells awaiting court hearing next week. I've pleaded with Jeff to withdraw the case but he can hear none of that.He insists that he messed with the wrong guy and he'll pay dearly for being stupid.Since it's already at night, we've already had dinner and we're already in bed, ready to sleep when Jeff receives a call from his dad. He asks him if whatever he is hearing is true and he te

DARLENE“How will we get our son back if we send you the money?” I ask Frank in an attempt to keep him online.“Simple..” he says. “I will drop him back home just the same way I took him!” he brags.“That's okay.”It's about fifteen minutes since the cops started working on tracing Frank's number and Jeff and I are waiting eagerly. I'm sure Frank is waiting to see a notification and if he doesn't get one soon, he'll flip and we don't want that to happen.He has our son for crying out loud and he might hurt him since I'm convinced he's under influence of a hard substance.A minute later, Jeff receives a call from the cops and after talking for a while, he hangs up, his face lighting up in happiness.“They traced! They found him!” he says immediately he hangs up.

DARLENEJeff and I listen to Frank's demands and at the end of the call, we're left wondering if he's in his right mind.So he wants somewhere to stay and a monthly allowance? Like seriously?He made it clear that his sister Kate used to give him a monthly allowance and he also lived in their house but since she died, he has been living miserably and now he wants us to make his life simpler and better.He must be sick in the head. So he has realised that he needs money and accommodation almost two years after his sister died? How has he been surviving for those years?“We can't promise all that.” Jeff says bluntly. “You're a grown ass man and you can provide for yourself!”“Then forget about ever setting your eyes on this brat!” he barks over the phone. “I don't like him at all so rest assured that I might end up sell

DARLENEIt's already four weeks since I went back to work. Everything both here and at home has been going on smoothly. Jeff is in a board meeting with some investors while I'm in the office busy attending to some clients. This has been my daily routine and I'm enjoying every bit of it.George and I will be attending a lunch time meeting with another investor therefore I'm also preparing for it.We don't have to worry about who will be picking Shone up from school since schools are on break therefore he's already home for the holiday.We're planning to have the lunch up till late then head home after.***“Are you ready honey?” Jeff makes me snap from my reverie. He's already done with the meeting and he's standing at the doorway, probably watching me.“You startled me!” I say as I sit up straight. “Are you done with
