A murderer is within us

Evelyn’s POV

“A lead?”

“Yes Miss Evelyn “

“I'm sorry but Mrs. Evelyn now”

Chloe said then, everyone turned around and looked at her like ‘Bitch read the room’

“On, please pardon my manners, Mrs Evelyn. Is that right Miss Chloe?”

She looked at him with a bitter look and she went to grab a chair, and she sat down

“I saw what you did there officer”

He rolled his eyes and looked back at me.

“Like I was saying, madam according to my source the child you told me you found by the poolside yesterday never actually entered the pool not to talk about him almost getting drowned “

I opened my mouth out of shock. I was more than shocked to hear that, The child never got into the pool. Then what happened to him? He was half-dead when we saw him.

Well, waking up to a murder case a day after my wedding was never on my bucket list.

“Officer, what do you mean he never got inside the pool? He was half dead when we saw him”

“You all saw him?”

“Well I, Chloe, and some other family guests did”

“Mrs. Evelyn can we all go to your control room? I would like to see some tapes”

“Of course, we can”

Walt was out of it he was not himself he was completely out of it.

He didn't say a word, I think he even forgot how to blink his eyes were red and he looked like he saw a ghost, they must have been good friends.

When I looked at Matthew he was even shivering the death of their friend did a number on them.

“Walt, babe I know you are not happy I know how you must be feeling right now but you need to be strong at least for Rachel’s sake both you and Matthew need to get it together please Walt I need you to be present “

He just nodded his head in agreement then we all went to the control room the officer requested to see the camera footage of the poolside. He requested for the previous day's own, and when he gave him he played it so we could see what happened with the kid.

The kid was by the pool side but he was not inside the water. He stood there like he was waiting for someone

Then the kid turned around like saw someone he knew but the person made sure to avoid the CCTV we only saw a hand give him a blue substance.

After that, the video went blurred and we all opened our eyes very wildly out of shock we were more than shocked I for one could not believe what I saw.

“What has been happening here for God's sake?”

“Madam I think whoever did this is someone in this hotel among your friends or your husband's friends. What I'm trying to say is that The person is someone that you know”

“Someone that I know?”

“Yes, madam are these the only people that came for the wedding?”

“Well, the rest are our parents”

“Who were the people that were last seen with Mr Christopher?”

And that was the question I prayed to God for him not to ask.

Even if we denied it he would still watch the tape. Walt and Matthew just immediately told him they were with Christopher that night and he played the tape.

“Why were you so angry at him Mr Walt?”

“Well, officer, he hit his wife and I was very mad at him”

“You seemed a little too angry Mr Walt, what's your relationship with the wife”

“Excuse me, officer, what do you mean?”

I had to step in for my husband Walt was already having a hard time the officer wasn't helping matters I had to show Walt that I was there for him.

“I'm sorry madam if my question came out wrong”

“It did, please don't talk down on my husband's character or Rachel's “

“Noted ma'am, so I understand the fact that you and Mr. Christopher have been friends for a long time am I correct?”

“Yes you are”

“Just the both of you?”

“No, Matthew and Martha too”

He said as he pointed to Matthew and the weird lady, she smiled and moved to him when he pointed at her and held his hand like she was trying to console him.

But it was all to show that crazy girl

“Oh, the four of you guys have been friends for how long exactly?”

“For more than 8 years”

“I understand you got married yesterday mr Walt to Miss Evelyn so of course you were both together in the room it was late

anyways right?”

“Yes I was with my wife in the room”

“So how did you know Mr Christopher was hitting his wife?”

“Rachel came to knock on our door to call me and she told me about it”

“What were you doing at that time?”

“Officer, what the fuck are you getting that?”

Walt held me back and told me it was fine I was getting annoyed he sounded like he suspected Walt and what's that about what he was doing at night in his room? ‘Fucking his wife of course Bitch!’

“I and my wife were both asleep at that time “

“But you still answered Rachel?”

“I got up from the bed and went outside to meet her and she told me about it, of course, I had to go in and help”

“Did you know he used to hit her before?”

“So I heard, I had no idea”

“Hmmm, I see”

The officer turned and looked at Rachel and I had this strong urge Rachel knew something about the whole situation.

“So Mrs Rachel how did you know about the situation with Mr Christopher and his wife last night?”

“Well I was with him”

“You were with him?”

“Yes officer, she was with my husband last night. when I got to the room, and she saw me she immediately left”
