Chapter 138: Chapter 138
Sandra had been calling her hit man since the police left her house, and for days, he didn't take her call, nor returned her calls, she was so worried, she could feel her veins popping out, as though she had been starving for so long.
She sat down in her living room, feeling dejected and worn out, she isn't sure if she had taken her bath that day. The way the police men had questioned her, all she was feeling was that Juliet had survived, and they are only playing a trick on her, before the entire truth comes out in the open, she would be exposed and the world would kill her, before the law will kill her. She will die five times before her real death, she will die like a coward, which is one thing she is scared of, being discovered.
While sitting on her sofa, with a lost hope, of never hearing from her hit man again, her phone suddenly started ringing. It was a strange line, not the regular one she knows, she feared that maybe someone else have stumbled on the evidence Juliet had against her, and wants to start threatening her, that is how it is, when she sees a strange number calling her, people who know her and do business with her, will not call her with an unknown line, if by any chance, they want to call her with an unknown line, they would message her, but this person have called for more than three times, she didn't take the call, and he or she didn't think to message, so she could take the call.
After the fifth call, she decided to take the call, what is the worse that could happen, she has seen worse, and so far, she has been a warrior, she has survived all that has been thrown her way.
"Hello". She spoke into the phone, and it almost took forever, before the person from the other line spoke up.
"Why are you not taking your calls? He asked. Sandra immediately recognized his voice, and she sat up.
"You were calling me with a strange line, how was I supposed to know that you are the one calling. And why are you even questioning me about taking calls, when I have been calling you, without luck of you taking the call". She argued.
"I am sorry, I was at the village, going round with her image in hand, and as soon as the villagers saw her picture, they recognized her from what they said they saw weeks ago, that a body was seen torn apart, with clothes into shreds, that she seem to have been beaten by a wild animal, that her remains will be in the forest". He says. Sandra could not hide her Joy, she was so excited, she clapped her hands, allowing her phone to fall off her ear, before taking it back.
"And did you go to the forest to confirm that it is her? She asked.
"Off course I did, it is her, it is the same cloth from that night, I saw bones here and there, I had to leave there, before I become the next food of the animals". He lied.
"This is the best news I have heard in so long, I am very happy".
"I guess you should be happy enough to send me my balance right? He asked, wanting to end that part of their conversation.
He was using another line to call her, because after she sends the money to him, she won't be able to reach him again, he was going far away, to a place, no one would find him.
"Yes sure, I will, I am really happy, I will send you your money right away". Which she did, almost immediately, she ended the call, after that, she relaxed with a glass of wine, celebrating with herself, she even cheers to the air, she was celebrating her wins.
Now the police could question her all they want, she would answer them confidently, with her lawyer close by.
Now she understands why the police could not find her remains, she was glad about her choice of river, and how it all turned out. Though Juliet was the one that actually chose that area, and she was the one that first started going close to the woods.
That night, she slept happily, she didn't dream of anyone nailing her, or testifying against her, she was safe at last.
