Jessica closed her eyes with her arms stretched as she breathe in the fresh air."feels good".
She had been inside for too long that she starts to feel sick so she decided to leave her house for some fresh air.
She couldn't help but remember her fight with michael weeks ago.that was the last time they spoke or saw each other as well.
She had the feeling that their relationship might start to stray although she didn't want that, there's not much she could do.
"You are Jessica right?".a voice asks.
Jessica turned to the stranger surprised to see a young girl probably in her early teens which made her frown."who are you?".her eyes scanned the stranger from head to toe.
The petite girl was wearing jeans and an oversized hoodie which covered her head but jessica could see the tip of her long brown hair.
"Although I would say that isn't important". said the girl."Elina".
"Eh?".
"That's my name". said elina.
Jessica was surprised but soon she adjusted herself."what do you want?". she stared the girl with an unfriendly gaze.
"Anna".was all that came out from the girl's mouth as she stared at Jessica.
"What?".again jessica was caught off guard but this time it took her longer to adjust herself."I must say that I sure wasn't expecting a visit from another one of anna's friends".
"I am not her friend". said elina.
"Oh".jessica stares soon turned wary as she heard that."if you aren't her friend,why are you here asking about her?".she couldn't help but feel headache."this girl's death has brought me nothing but trouble to me".
"What did you expect?". said elina as she watched the older female rub her head."you should know the reason why.afterall you were the one who directed anna to that bar".
Jessica noticed the tone of disgust the girl used when she spoke about the bar."you worked at the bar?".
"No".
"So how do you know anna?".
"I didn't come to meet you to talk about that". said elina.
"You are so rude". commented Jessica to the girl that was so much younger than her which was obvious."it's getting on my nerves".
"Did you kill her?". said elina ignoring the older female words.
"What makes you think that I would answer that?". scoffed Jessica."you think that you can just approach me with your questions and I would answer?".
"What about the other girl?". asked elina but she got no response.
Seeing as jessica won't answer her,she decides to use her last resort."Michael".
Jessica strong facade broke in an instant as she heard that name."what did you just say?".
Elina lips curled up at jessica's reaction.she just proved a theory."I had a meeting with him earlier.do you know what he asked me first?".
"What did he ask?".
"If you answer my question,I will tell you". said elina.at first she doubted if it would work but she could see jessica trembling when she said that name.
It became obvious who the strong female weakness was.
"You are bargaining with me?". asked jessica pointing to herself which the younger girl nods."I didn't kill anna.i also didn't kill blaire".she then adds."satisfied?".
"Not yet". said elina."you have to tell me who is responsible for it?".
"And how am I supposed to know that?".asks jessica frowning.
"I am sure that you know who the culprit is although am not sure why you do". said elina.
Elina noticed the hesitation on jessica's face and adds to her words."you aren't telling me for free".
The older woman glanced at elina as she heard her words."i won't tell you exactly who it is but I can give you a hint".
"Half is better than none". said elina as she agreed.
"But I have a condition". said Jessica.
"A condition?".
"Just knowing what michael told you for all your questions doesn't seem fair". said jessica.
"What is your condition?".asked elina.
"It's nothing serious.infact there's something that am curious about". said jessica.
"So I answer your question and you answer mine". said elina."I agree.so what's your question?".
Jessica studied the way the younger girl talks which makes her doubt if she really was just an high school girl."why are you searching for the culprit?". she then adds with a glare."don't you dare give me some bullshit talk about justice".
"To help". said elina."there's someone that i want to help.that's all".
"What will you do if you find out the identity of the culprit?".asked jessica.
"Are those really your questions?". said elina evading the older woman's question."not what I was expecting".
"In all honesty,I don't really have a question neither do I care much about it". said jessica."can we be done?.my legs hurt".
"My turn.i don't need to ask right?". said elina.
"One of lily friends". said jessica but then she noticed elina confused look."you don't know lily?".she asks to which the younger girl shakes her in response.
"Anna's lover" said jessica.
"Oh". said elina."so you are saying that one of the friends of that girl called lily is the culprit?".
"Hmm".jessica nods."that's all I can tell you.so tell what michael told you".
"When I approached him,he asked me if you were the one who sent me.i am sure you know what that means.it means that he doesn't trust you at all". said elina."I can see the amount of trust you have for him but trust me when I say that he isn't worth it".
With that elina slowly walked away leaving jessica with her thought.
********
"What is your decision elina?".a companion of the young girl asks.
"Will send a letter to elise and logan too". said elina.
And just as she said,she letter to the duo informing them of what she found out.
