Chapter 7

Autor: Amber Fleck
Mason screamed in rage. He looked like he wanted to lunge across the room and kill Lillian.

The two officers quickly stepped in to calm him down and gently persuaded him to sit.

Mason collapsed into the chair and began sobbing like a child.

It was the first time I had ever seen Mason cry.

For years, whenever something went wrong, he had never allowed me to cry. He always told me to find a solution first.

And now, after learning that I was dead, Mason was the one crying. "Carol was so brave. She

    Mason stared straight ahead. For a moment, I almost thought he could see my soul.Then he started crying. "Carol was always obedient and sensible. She sat in on so many court cases. She had a stronger sense of justice than anyone I knew."I never wanted her to see too much of the ugliness in people when she was young. But I never had enough time to be with her. The whole reason I thought about getting married was so she could stay away from courtrooms and have more good things in her life. "I only wanted to find Carol a mother who could take care of her and someone her own age to keep her company. I never thought it would end up getting her killed."After you two came into our lives, Carol suddenly started stealing toys, cheating on tests, and even stealing gold jewelry. "I thought she was angry because she felt like I favored you. I thought she was acting out on purpose just to get my attention. I never imagined you were framing her!"I was there the day she was assaulted. I watched

    Wendy and Claire were becoming more anxious and panicked by the day.Every little sound made them think the police were coming.The pressure was becoming unbearable.Claire was the first to break. "Mom, why don't you turn yourself in? I can't take this anymore!"Wendy glared at her angrily. "If I turn myself in and go to prison, what will happen to you? What if Mason remembers everything? You'll be finished too!"Claire's eyes widened with anger.Her fingernails nearly dug into Wendy's flesh. "Then why did you have to hire someone to sell Carol? You had other options! You could have driven her to suicide. If she had killed herself, we wouldn't be dealing with all this trouble now! I'm about to graduate from law school! I'm almost there! Why did Carol have to die now of all times? This is all your fault!"Wendy slapped Claire so hard that she fell to the floor.Her hands were trembling, and her eyes were bloodshot. "I did all of this for you! Who told you to lose to Carol at everything

    Claire and Wendy both froze.Even I stared at Mason in shock.After examining him, his doctor let out a sigh.The trauma had caused Mason to completely forget that I ever existed.He had forgotten the three years I spent in darkness. He had forgotten that I saved 23 girls and died a horrible death at the hands of the kidnappers."The patient already has an underlying heart and blood vessel condition," the doctor explained. "Since he has forgotten, his family should avoid deliberately mentioning her in front of him. We need to reduce anything that might trigger another episode."After hearing the doctor's instructions, Claire and Wendy exchanged complicated looks.I felt just as conflicted when I floated in front of Mason.I never imagined that after my death, I'd became the word my father couldn't bear to hear.The people at the courthouse soon learned about Mason's condition.They arranged for him to take early retirement."Let Mason stay home and focus on recovering."But the moment

How could I have thought she was working with the kidnappers? How could I have ever suspected my own daughter?"Mason could no longer control his emotions. He kept banging his head against the wall.Lillian crossed her arms and watched the desperate Mason with a smug smile. "Judge Leighton, you've spent all these years judging other people. Do you really need to ask me about something this simple?"Lillian suddenly leaned closer and stared straight

    After studying the routes out of town, I stayed up several nights drawing a simple map on scrap paper.Then I quietly waited for the right opportunity.The party in the neighboring town last month was our best chance.Most of the townsfolk had been invited, and it took two hours to travel from Blackwood Township to the neighboring town and back.With my map, that would be more than enough time for the girls to escape.As long as they reached the highway and managed to flag down a car, they would be free.But the townsfolk were extremely cautious. To stop the kidnapped women from escaping during the party, they left several men behind to guard the town.The night before the party, I took my map and found Michelle. "This is a map of the route out of town. Find a way to tell the other girls. Tomorrow, I'll find a way to lure the guards away. You must escape!"Michelle stared at me in shock. She didn't say a word for a long time.I knew she still didn't trust me.She was probably also worr

    "It's from a pig, right?" Mason shouted.Then he grabbed Michelle. "Captain Lockwood, we have a victim claiming Carol broke her leg. Lillian is lying to us. Carol must be one of the kidnappers!"Alexander said nothing.He simply handed the report to Mason.The report said that there was a greater than 99.99% probability that the biological evidence had come from me.It also confirmed that the remains belonged to me.Michelle covered her mouth and burst into tears when she read those words. "How could Carol not have escaped?"Mason took a step back in disbelief.Then he collapsed onto the floor. "How could it be Carol? There must be a mistake in the test! Carol must have mixed her fingernails and hair with the pig bones. That's why you got this result!"She went too far! She's been sitting in on my cases since she was a child, so she knows all this forensic stuff. But instead of using what she learned properly, she used it to trick us. Once I catch her, I'll..."Mason was about to call
