STEPHANIE

I finally got discharged from the hospital and the every day I was to leave was the exact day the detectives decided to show up and ask about my father.

Mum had only stepped out to turn the car around while I got dressed, Imagine my surprise when there was a knock on the door, and when it opened two males walked into the room.

I glanced at them skeptically and suspiciously. "You are clearly not doctors or nurses," I pointed out with a frown, "who are you?"

"I am Detective Roger," the first dude introduced himself before gesturing to the other man, "and this is Detective Simpson."

They are here for my father. "And how can I help you?"-

"If you don't mind, can we have a seat and talk?" Roger asked, "We promise not to take much of your time."

I glanced at the closed door. "You do realize that I'm a patient who just got discharged right?"

He nodded. "Like I said, we promise not to take much of your time."

That doesn't make this right. Folding my hands, I stared at them flatly. "Get on with the question then. If my mother gets back, you won't have the opportunity to ask any question." "Why is that?" He asked, taking a seat.

"Because you shouldn't even be questioning someone who was diagnosed to be mentally unstable," I responded.

They glanced at each other with surprise and I scoffed. "Can we get on with it already?"

"When was the last time you spoke or saw your father?" He asked.

"I haven't seen him ever since my marriage with my ex-husband ended," I replied truthfully. "Why? Is he missing?" They glanced at each other again. "Haven't you seen the news?"

I only hear the things my mother feeds me. "Ever since I got admitted, I wasn't allowed to use my cellphone."

Roger frowned. "Why?"

"Apparently it isn't good for my mental health," I replied with an eye roll. Taking a seat, I moved my gaze from one person to the other. "Is that all?"

"Your father is a murder suspect." He revealed and I continued staring at him with zero emotions. "Why aren't you surprised?"
