"...I went to handle a dead body" Ash said as I snapped my head at him and so did James and others. The driver also did the same and then again looked at the road.

"A-Are you serious?" I asked, nervous.

"Yes" he replied and sqeezed my arm. He does that when he wants to tell to trust him. I can't help but feeling pity when he does that. I let my tears fall after hearing it as he looked at me and tilted his head.

"You're looking ugly" he said.

"Shut up!" I slapped his arm as he chuckled.

"Aren't you feeling guilty?" James said, with a surprise. Everyone was shocked and so do I.

"Why will I?" Ash asked.

"Do you often do that?" He asked. What the hell he means?

"No, I hate doing it but I was forced to do yesterday" Ash replied.

"How are you related to him?" James asked, wiping his sweat.

"I'm his grandson" 

"Wait! But the person who was killed isn't your grandfather!" I asked

"Yea, so when did I told that he is my grandpa?" Ash asked.

"Do you mean that yesterday you killed your grandpa?" James asked.

"No, I didn't kill him" 

"Then who killed him?"

"The stairs" he replied.

"Now, this is becoming more confusing. Damn, just explain it!" James shouted making everyone jump. Oh! No, it was the road bumper!

"Ok, I got it!" I said, I got used to his meaningless short words "Yesterday, Ash went hurriedly because his grandpa died by falling off from the stairs and he had to handle the dead body means, he was there for putting him in the coffin and all the arrangements, right?"

"Yeah" Ash replied as I smiled

"See, I solved the mystery!" I said "So, can you leave us?"

"How can I know that he is saying the truth?" James asked.

"I don't care" Ash said, coldly.

"*Sigh* Now don't eat my head more and further questions will be asked in the police station" 

"I bet your head isn't tasty" Ash muttered as I laughed a little so do others as James rolled his eyes.

.

We reached the police station and James called Ash's dad and got to know that his grandfather really passed away yesterday and he was there. He investigated more using those meaningless, boring questions of which Ash didn't bother to give straight answers and so he finally gave in.

"I think we can leave you" James said, scribbling something in his diary.

"I go you won't bother us anymore, will you?" I asked.

"We will see that" he forced a smile "Your friend is not guilty but we still can't trust you and don't you worry, we have a long way to go"

"What the-! Wasn't my reasons enough to prove my innocence?" I asked.

"Of course it is but for finding the real culprit we still have to look forward to you and I know we will find him/her soon" James said.

"Then please do that and give us relief" I said and left the police station with Ash.

"What me to drop you home?" He asked, looking at his phone.

"How can you be so relaxed after all this?" I couldn't help but ask. I know him and his nature and in this kind of situation also? Happy, sad, tensed, annoyed, excitement or horror he only has one expression like 'I don't give a f**k'.

"You didn't murder the person, did you?" He asked, bringing his face closer to mine.

"N-No, why are you ask-"

"Then what's there to worry about?" He said "Just relax!"

"You!!" I punched him and then dragged him with me. Ash dropped me home and went his. I came inside and saw Antony reading some books.

"I'm back" I smiled

"Oh! How did everything go?" 

"Yea, well I won't say but it was ok" I said and told him what happened in the police station.

" I see" he sighed and that's what he is doing currently. He closed the book and prepared sandwich for me as I changed my school uniform. I had a night shift at the McDonald's but don't know if I should go or not. I work there was a part time job along with Ash.

"Are you going or not?" Antony asked.

"You say" 

He chuckled and said "If you think that going out will make you feel good then you should go and Ash is also there" 

"What's with the 'Ash is also there' "? I glared at him as he laughed.

"I don't know. You're the only one who caught the attention on that line" he shugged while laughing.

"Anyways, I'm going! Bye!" I dressed up quickly and went out again. I never got free time to rest or study and this is how I'm living.

"Annie! Wait!" Antony said and I turned back to ask what's the matter when he showed me the water bottle. I slapped my forehead and went to take it.

"Do you have any work outside today?" I asked.

"No, I'll be staying home" he said. I nodded and went out.

.

"You're early" I smiled at Ash who was taking a order at a table.

"And you're late" he said and wrote down the order of that table. I tucked his head and went inside the restaurant. The work was going well and we all didn't notice when the time passed by. 

"It's already late" I smiled at Ash who rested his leg on a table and was staring outside.

"Yes" he replied "Feeling cold?"

"Not that much" I smiled as he opened his coat and wrapped it around me.

"You mean too much right?" He chuckled as I laughed a little.

"Thanks"

There were few customers and 5 workers, along with us. I came out of the restaurant and freed up my hands in the air while yawning when I saw some cats were coming at high speed. Everyone came out of the restaurant and from nearby from the noise. It was an ambulance along with some police cars.

I was confused about what was happening until I heard someone whispering to his partner that...

"I think some was murdered again"

That's just a wild guess! What do you guys think?
