The mother's secret

A s a young fresh employed detective I was on fire to put my hands on the first case I could receive or face it by coincidence, I wasn’t really caring about how I will receive my first case It’s all about having it now.

Maybe some of you would see it as a strange thing or a good thing it’s back to your culture, I’m living with my mother after my dad has passed away before 12 years ago…it’s my 21th birthday night..my mother had just made a great and sweet cake I don’t think that I could find something like it in any shop, no matter what is the class of that shop my mom’s cake will always be the best for me.

After the birthday has finished which was only containing me and my mom only, ohh..how rude..I just went with the flow and forgot to introduce myself..my bad guys, I’m Marlon and as I mentioned before I’m 21 years old now and I’m a fresh employed detective..maybe it’s a bit strange for you that I’m graduated and employed as a detective at such a young age like that..OK..a pretty young actually but all of these due to my “high IQ and skills” as my Oxford professor mentioned to my mother before so…I’m kinda of a genius…maybe? Anyways…after my mom went to sleep I decided to clean the lower floor of our 2 floors house so I got everything out and started working to make it as clean as a mirror when I was cleaning the living room I tackled by a box while I was moving other stuff, I got up and I was remembering where I took this box from when I couldn’t remember at all I just said “ well..taking a look would be a lot more benefit than just playing with my mind memory hide and seek” so I opened the box and what I found was my mom old stuff..that box was full of feelings and memories for real, it’s…touching? Maybe..I’m not that good at picking words honestly…no one’s perfect as you know.

While I was checking mother’s old stuff box I found pictures of me and her and…dad…games I used to play with when I was young, her weeding dress was packed there too, but..between all these normal stuff there was a folder..an old one actually like it’s before 10 years or even more, but..why would mom have such a folder like that she wasn’t working at any kind of office’s work? Ok…that’s a bit strange…just let’s take a look in it, mom won’t mind anyways.

The first thing I saw when I opened the folder was a kind of notes that was containing phone numbers, addresses, names, dates and time, locations and also pics.

That was obviously weird to me and not only me it would be up-normal for anyone else for sure, but..is it? The detective game?!! that game was pretty famous at my childhood and it was one of the reasons that made me want to become a detective it was realistic for a game and was cheap too it was the great combination for any bored person back then, I remember that father told me that he will get me a one as my 9th birthday..but unfortunately he passed away before my birthday then…it was such a sad memory to recover, maybe this it? The gift he told me that he will give it to me as a birthday gift but he couldn’t then…but why mom hid it from me? Maybe she forgot or probably not to be a bad memory for me…at least I found it now, this will be so much fun of course.

I took the game folder out of the box and had a seat to take a proper look on it and to try it, a little break won’t be bad right?

When I opened the folder I looked on the notes and one of them was containing the next items: 1- Knife2- High-Acid 3- Shovel4- Plastic Bags 5- medicine for sleep issues

Looks like father had such a high taste at choosing the cases for me. The classic killing crimes, I left that note then I looked on the one that had a familiar location for me it was “The Night Bridge” that place was where my mom and dad met for the first time..this is a good one from you father..a really good one.

Then I took the address note and what was written in it was our house and a strange place I don’t know, it was something like a coordinates after this I checked the names note and this was really odd..I think father wrote all the notes of this game cuz the names which are written in it were my father’s name and mother’s name also…let’s get the other notes all of them at once, the phone numbers were belong to my father and his manager at the life insurance company he worked at and the dates and time note was literally the weirdest one among all of them it contained my birthday date 11/22/2001 and other date I really can’t tell what’s about it, it was 12/12/2010it’s actually looks sorted in a creepy way then comes the pics…there were only 2 pics the first one was me and my parents at my 9th birthday party and the….second one was….for my dad corpse…he was laying on the snowy ground dead…it was shocking for me to see that pic he was stabbed many times it was too obvious on his white shirt that was ripped off him due to the stabs he got and the blood that was around his dead body, well…it looks like my father wasn’t the one who wrote the notes but..that shadow in the picture! It’s a shadow of a woman!

Could it be?!! oh no no of course not! I must be gone crazy to think about that or…I’m right? Is this my mother’s shadow?!
