Chapter 7

Author: Perfect Timing
My entire family excitedly sat down before Dad's computer. To my surprise, there was another version of me grinning back at them on the screen!

The girl on the screen smiled lightly and waved at them. "Morning Mom, Dad, and George!"

She looked a lot like me, but she wasn't like me at all.

I suddenly recalled memories of Dad talking to himself at his computer. "According to the surveillance footage videos… Analyze her character… Scan all information and photos… Upload her voice from the voice messages…"

But… But I was right here next to him!

I watched them sadly as they stared at the screen like they were hypnotized.

Dad grabbed a napkin and carefully wiped at the computer screen, just the same way he used to wipe my hands and face clean when I was little. He had always been chuckling happily at me back then.

"Come here, you dirty little rascal. Let me wash your face for you…"

Mom's smile broke through her tears. "Don't rub

    I panicked. What was George talking about? How could Mom, Dad, or George be murderers? They were prodigies! They were a thousand times better than I was! I was the proudest of them and all their achievements!They were really good people. I swore that they were!I just wasn't as good as them and deserved to die.Still, the policeman couldn't hear what I was saying. Instead, they just led each of them into the interrogation room.I waited in agony until long past midnight, and finally, I saw Dad and George coming out. But Mom was nowhere in sight.They said that Dad never thought the control panel would short-circuit and malfunction after getting wet.If that hadn't happened, Domi would have immediately called the police and also informed him about it if anything terrible had happened to me.This was an accident, and he couldn't be convicted.I heaved a sigh in relief. I knew that Dad hadn't done it on purpose!But what about Mom?I waited nervously for another two more days

    The bloody liquid reached Dad's shoes.He instinctively took a step back, his fingers shaking in disbelief. He was also gasping lightly under his breath.I lowered my head in guilt."I'm sorry," I whispered under my breath. "I didn't mean to scare you, Dad. I didn't mean to dirty your shoes either…"I knew Dad was going to lose his temper at me again.However, his voice just turned shaky as he said, "Look at Gigi, that child, making a mess for me to clean up after her again! She just spilled strawberry jam all over the place…"But Dad, I was already dead! Why won't you acknowledge it?The policemen didn't listen to Dad and pulled the door wide open.Mom turned her head to the side so quickly she nearly had a whiplash."Close the door! You officers are out of your minds! My house is a huge mess because of that child, so why must you show the entire neighborhood what it's like inside to embarrass us?"I told you that my child is fine! There's nothing wrong with her!"So what i

    Dad gnashed his teeth angrily. "Gianna Johnston! She must have scattered trash all over the house, making a huge mess!"Mom also slapped her thighs in anger. "That little troublemaking idiot! How could she stoop so low and eat from the trash? What a freaking humiliation! She's brought nothing but shame to our family!"They immediately flew home the next day, but it was still too late. The police were already waiting at the front door.Dad saw that they had gotten a locksmith to open the door. He quickly shoved his hand out, blocking the keyhole. "Officers! It's just a kid messing around. Please leave. I don't want to embarrass ourselves any further."The policeman in charge handled the case strictly in accordance with standard protocol."Please explain yourselves. Your neighbors saw the three of you leaving for vacation without your youngest daughter. And now, there's a smell of a dead body coming from inside—"Dad smacked his palm against the door in fury."It's all because o
