Death by the Rivers End
Dominic stood there for a minute. He looked into the lady's eyes. "Sure." He said at last. He felt the rain start to fade. But people still had their umbrellas up. "Me and My friends met April in summer school. She was bubbly and full of life." He spoke out to the crowed. "That she was." He heard Brookelle say. Jessica nudged her. "She became talk of the school by the start of school. Everyone loved her." Dominic finished and looked at who he assumed to be Aprils mother. Her eyes seemed a bit cheery now. A small grin seemed to all most show. "And she had no enemies." He added. The lady lunched at him and warped her arms around him. "Oh thank you dear boy. This would have meant a lot to her." He lightly hugged her back. "I know." He whispered to her. The minster smiled and finished tossing dirt on the casket. People began to hug one another. Teenagers and their parents made their over to April's mom to give best wishes. Brookelle wanted to book it back to the car and go home snuggle up in her bed and sleep for a good day or two. She grabbed hold of Jessica's hand. "Lets go. This place gives me the creeps." She said looking around. Jessica nodded. She to wanted out of this place. "Dom." She whispered. Dominic turned to met Jessica's face. "Lets go." "Alright I'll get the others." He said handing her the car keys. He watched as Jessica and Brookelle made their way back to the car. He turned to his right to try and find Travis and Fox. He saw Fox chatting up some girl that went to their school. Dominic rolled his eyes.
"Ohh girl. I know I am hurt by this too." Fox said to a small blonde. She was in tears and her make up was caked on to her face. Under all that make up was a hot cheerleader. "Its just so awful." She sniffed. "I was just starting to get to know her." She blow her nose in a tissue. "Its ok." Fox said about to warp his arms around her. Dominic grabbed him by his shirt neck. "Come on Romero. Time to leave." Dominic said. Fox rolled his eyes. "Your all ways doing that to me." He wined. "Now is not the time. Help me find Travis." Fox fixed his shirt and dusted himself. They found him standing in front of a blown up picture of April. Her school picture. Curly chest nut brown hair blue eyes. Her smile was perfect, white teeth. She had rosy checks and a clean white shirt, Fox and Dominic joined his said. "She doesn't look like a girl you just dead." Travis spoke in a soft tone. "Travis." Dominic started. "We know you've been threw a lot and I know we asked something no one should be asked to do." Fox told his friend. "But we are sorry."Dominic said putting a hand on his shoulder for comfort. Dominic help his friend walk away from that picture. Helped him walk away from a place he wished he hadn't brought him to. The three of them made their to the car before anyone had a chance to talk to them.
Brookelle was the first to spot the detective. He was standing next to the black SUV. Dressed in a brown peacoet. His hair was comed back. He light a cigarette and blow out the smoke as he watched Brookelle come up to him. "May I help you?" She said with a biter tone. "Yes you may." He grinned a cordite smile. Brookelle stood in front of him. She placed her hands on her hips. Rised her eye brows. "Well what is it?" By then Jessica had join her said. "Who are you?" Jessica asked. "I am Detective King." He reached in to his pocket and pulled out a white square card. Handed it to Jessica. She took it and read it carefully. "That says nothing on why your here standing next to my car." Brookelle said venom cover her words. Detective King took another drag of his cigarette. "I am looking in to the murderer of April Smith." Jessica looked up from the card Brookelle took a step back eyes still on King. "She wasn't murdered." Jessica said iceiy. "Ahh But I have believe she was." King spoke finishing up his cigarette. "What proffe do you have?" Travis asked joing the girls. He looked over Jessica's shoulders and read the card in her hand. Dominic and Fox stood by Brookelle. "She killed her self." Fox said. "Everyone knows this." Dominic added. "What proffe do you have?" Travis asked again. King tossed the bud to the ground and put out the lit bud with his foot. "Seems that is true. But a happy girl doesnt just kill her self." He said walking way. Brookelle shook her head. "She wasnt happy. She was sick." Brookelle called out to him. King turned around. He just nodded. "Good day." He said and began to walk again. "That man knows something." Travis said studying King as he walked away.
