In the detention room, Emily was sitting on the cold floor, with her face buried between her knees. Gradually, the loneliness awakened her long forgotten childhood memories.
"Do you know that when you were just a little girl, you loved to sleep all the time? That's why we gave you the name 'Emily'."
"Wow, you've won an award for this semester too. My Emily is just outstanding! What would you like for dinner? I will cook your favourite..."
"Emily, take care of yourself when you go off to university. You need to keep working hard. We want you to have a bright future ahead of you!"
All the memories that she had forgotten about rushed into her mind, but all they left were just the rough sketches. Debby's tender voice echoed clearly in her mind, as if she was standing right in front of her. Emily broke down in tears.
No matter how bad things had gotten between them, they used to love and care for her as if she was their real daughter. Their love was like the warmth and shelter in winter for her. She would never forget that.
Now, in her loneliness, she felt abandoned by all the people she loved the most. She felt like an orphan.
Emily's father and mother were no longer alive and nothing could fill the void they had left in her heart.
Emily wished with all her might, to bring her parents back to life, even though... Even though they wanted to hurt her for Tina's sake. However, none of that seemed like an issue anymore. If her forgiveness could bring them back, she would willingly set aside all her grudges against them.
Unfortunately, reality always found a way to betray people's hope.
As time went by, Emily wiped her tears and finally pulled herself together. She didn't know who was responsible for her parents' death, but there was a glow of determination in her tear-soaked eyes, telling her not to give up.
Emily swore to herself that she would not rest until the killer was found and brought to justice!
She racked her brains, scrambling through the recent events in her mind.
Yesterday Debby and Andrew were doing just fine. Where did they go after they left her apartment? How did they appear in her apartment this morning? Most importantly, right before she was about to leave the city? Also, where did the murder weapon come from...
"I want to speak to the person in charge of this investigation!" she demanded. With fists clenched, she banged on the iron door and yelled, "I have questions
he blurted, "If you want, I can be your Dad."
Jacob regretted saying that as soon as the words left his mouth, because Emily started crying even more desolately, like a person who had lost all hope.
Jacob furrowed his eyebrows, and gently wiped her tears away. He lowered his head, and kissed her lightly on the face. Little by little, he kissed away her salty tears. "Please don't cry," he urged her.
Jacob took her soft hand to his chest, and let her feel his heart beating. He smiled and said, "If you cry, my heart cries."
Emily wiped her tears with her sleeve and glanced his way. Her lips were a pale pink that reminded him of a rose bud. Jacob gave in to the urge and kissed her lips passionately.
Jacob's hands brushed through her long hair, and pressed the back of her head, forcing her to endure his stormy kiss. At that picture perfect moment, the world around them had disappeared, as they immersed themselves in their love and affection for each other.
When Emily tore herself apart from him to breathe, they returned to reality.
"Wait for me here. I will come back soon. I am getting you out of here," he said. Jacob let her go, and sat her down on a chair, before he left the detention room.
Ten minutes later, Jacob walked in, looking distressed and frustrated, as if he was going to blow up the entire police station.
"... What happened?" Emily asked, carefully.
When Jacob turned to her, his anger was replaced by disappointment. "Sorry, Emily. I can't get you out just yet..." he said.
Emily bit her lips, and then said, "Jacob, I swear I didn't kill anyone. You have to believe me."
