he called her name multiple times and shook her.
He tapped on her cheeks. That is when he realized.
Stephanie smith
Her cracked lips, steins of dried tears and some newly freed from the prison of lashes. Falling of her cheeks.
He realized that he went too far.
He took a deep breath and said
Tom Kennedy
I am sorry Steph, you know how much I have loved you and cared for you.
He was carrying her to their king-sized bed.
Tom Kennedy
I wasn't expecting when police barge in my office. You don't know that time how I felt.
Tom Kennedy
When they showed me your hair clip which I gave you in college.
he put her on her side of bed and covered her with blanket.
Then he went to his study and opened the drawer of his office desk. Took out a black case contain cigars. Took one and lit it.
opened the glass door of balcony and went outside
Tom Kennedy
cold breeze pass over him.
Hairs flying backwards and his body getting goosebumps. It really was winter. Which made his skin get cold in just few seconds.
Tom Kennedy
Took cigar to his mouth and took the entire air in his lungs. Smell of tobacco filled his mouth. Then after few seconds of holding, he breathed out. And the bubble or cloud of whiteness between sky and him appeared
Tom Kennedy
and he remembered the events took place in his office.
His personal assistant called and said in her robotic voice sir the police is on reception and asking for you.
Tom Kennedy

he put the receiver down and sat straight on his chair.
Few minutes passed and here comes the time which he was waiting for.
Few officers along with his secretory barged inside the office.
Tom Kennedy
Signal his secretory to leave.
Tom Kennedy

He knew Shaun, as he had helped him in the past. They aren't friends. Just know each other.
detective shawn
Mr Kennedy here is a missing persons case. That person went missing on Wednesday.
Tom Kennedy
What I have to do with that person?
detective shawn
But your wife surly do
Tom instantly leaned over his desk and said
Tom Kennedy
What do you mean by my wife being involved? Huh?
Instantly tom was looking furious like his liver was on fire.
Detective remained quiet.
Tom Kennedy
I said what do you mean?
detective shawn
Mrs Kennedy is a prime suspect of miss Mary's abduction.
He stood up from his chair with a jolt like some invisible force was applied.
Tom Kennedy
What are you saying Mary and Steph are best friends. How can she?
Tom Kennedy
You can't just use arrows in air you have to do your explanation.
detective shawn
Calm down Mr Kennedy, it's not like we are here to get something out of you. It is a serious matter.
detective shawn
Miss Mary has been very vocal about her relations with Mrs Kennedy and like you said "best friends". That is just an act.
Tom Kennedy
Whatever you want to say just say it
detective shawn
look, few months ago we received a letter stating that how Mrs Kennedy is trying to harm miss Mary.
detective shawn
and the letter was written by non-other than Mary herself.
Tom Kennedy
gasped and ears are getting hot.
detective shawn
So, tell me do bestie treat each other with such Love.
detective shawn
Not only that on 10 of December, miss Mary filed for restriction order against Mrs Kennedy. Not long after that exact on 6 pm on Wednesday night, she went missing. Just 4 hour after visiting Court.
Tom Kennedy
But this doesn't Prof anything. She can go by herself. She is an adult not some sort of baby who my wife will hide behind the couch or something.
detective shawn
but how can you explain this.
He put the file on the table along with broken nail and hair clip. Yes! That was the same butterfly he put in Steph's hair back in their collage days.
Tom Kennedy
again they were friends Steph always had sleep overs at Mary's house so, it's common. sometimes you forget something. not a big deal.
