A Long Slepping's

Linda's Confession

Linda was a little cold when she entered the room Mister Bill equipped with AC, she also closed her jacket until the meeting. Mister Bill invited his guest to sit in front of him.

Before speaking, Mister Bill cleaned his slightly dewy glasses. Then she stared alternately at Casy and Linda with her eyes pinched. Casy was a little nervous and scared, whereas Linda was just being flat and cold.

"Can you explain what really happened? Linda is really what Casy said that you were the last one with Amber? " Seek straight to the core point.

"Yes, right. I did have a little chat with Amber yesterday" Linda said calmly.

"What are you guys talking about? "Mister Bill continues his more serious question.

"Amber told her that her parents would be late to pick her up, so she asked for a ride home. I let him come with me and I drove him to his house. After that I don't know anything" he.

"Are you telling the truth? " Mister Bill looked at Linda intently.

"Yes" Linda replied, brief and clear.

"Alright, then you can go."

"Thank you, sir. "

Back in class, all the children looked at Linda with a strange look, Linda behaved normally and sat in her place without caring about the surroundings.

"Linda, are you okay? Can you explain to me what's going on? Friends have to be honest with each other, right?" Ask Camilla to find out.

"I'll tell you later."

"Alright, don't worry. I'll keep it a good secret. I'm sure you didn't do anything bad, because I trusted you. "

"Thank you for trusting me. " She said with a brief smile.

At recess, the class was filled with gossipy people, Camilla knew that they were all talking about something bad about Linda.

"Lin, let's go to the cafeteria. Don't listen to bad words about you. " Take Camilla.

"Well, I want to go too. "

"You going to the cafeteria?" Alex asks who saw her girl leaving class.

"Yep, do you want to come? " Lawar Linda's.

"Oh, where's Joshua? " Task Camilla.

"She said she'll catch up. "

Joshua was still repeating the lesson he had not understood earlier, he had not studied for a long time so his brain was a little slow to absorb the lesson. But that doesn't mean he's stupid, it's just that he needs time to sharpen his brain again.

"Guys, I'm pretty suspicious of Linda. Do you think he's not weird? " Said one of the children who started the conversation.

"she's very weird." Connect the other.

"Actually yesterday afternoon Amber called me, she took me to the cafe at eight o'clock because she wanted to have a cup of coffee. She said she was with Linda somewhere, then at night I was waiting but Amber didn't come and I called her, but her phone was off. I feel like something's going on, but I don't know what. " Light was a close friend of Amber's named Acy.

"Why didn't you tell Acy? "

"I'm sorry, I didn't dare say it in front of Linda. He's very scary. "

"Yes, you're right, anyway. "

"Then what can we do? Poor old man Amber, they must be worried. " Add Casy.

"We can't just shut up, we have to investigate this!" Strict Lucy, Amber's best friend.

"What if Linda is innocent? We can't act rashly. " Casy said as she thought of another way to look for clues about Amber.

"Now all we have to worry about is Amber, we have to find out about her no matter what. We're investigating this case together, who's agreed with me. " Suar Lucy said, he was the one who dared to make the most decisions among others.

"I miss her so much. " Reveal Acy, holding back her tears.

"We all miss her, okay? don't be sad. We will find her together, right girls? " Entertain Lucy.

Joshua did not want to interfere in their affairs because he did not know Amber very well, but after accidentally hearing their story, Joshua felt sorry and also curious about what happened.

"Wait, um, can I ask to you, guys? " Task Joshua stopping their steps.

"Yes, why? " Reply Casy.

"Can I help you? "

"For what? amber case? are you sure you want to help us? aren't you a close friend of Linda's? " Search Lucy who is feeling confused.

"It's not about who I'm close to, but because I want to help you guys, I once lost a mother, and it hurts me a lot. If you don't mind, I can help you" Joshua explained, all the children came face to face hearing Joshua's offer. They did not expect Joshua to be open about him who had lost a mother.

"Yes, you can come. Later in the afternoon we'll go somewhere to find Amber. To be exact, we're going to Linda's house, we're just going to take a little peek, whether Amber is there or not" Lucy explained.

"Then after that? "

"We'll look for other evidence. "

"elright. Now I have to go. See you later, guys. "

"Bye, Josh. thank you for being willing to help us!"

"Yeah, no problem. "

"Alex, I have a question for you, do you suspect me of being an Amber criminal? " Linda asked questions to ensure the trust of her best friend.

Alex shook his head while focusing on devouring the delicious junk food.

"What about you, Cam? "

"I trust you, I'm sure you're a good person" Camilla said with a sincere smile.

"Didn't that sound like nonsense? They just said what they wanted to say without knowing the real events, that is such a bullshit!" Maki Linda is starting to get emotional.

Joshua came after Alex finished his soda.

"Hi, Josh. Why are you taking so long?" Ask Camilla.

"Uhm, there's some material I'd like to re-learn. "

"Oh, you're very enterprising, Josh. " Praise Alex.

"I want to ask, what do you think of the Amber case, who are you on your side?" Now Linda threw a question to Joshua.

"I don't know, I don't even know the real story. I don't think anything has been proven wrong, so I can't decide who's right or wrong."

Linda stopped her chewing, she looked at Joshua without any reaction

"But you can imagine how worried Amber's parents are? All parents will be worried that their child is missing. It's not about who's right or wrong, at least we should all help looking for Amber. Linda, can't you not be selfish to keep thinking about yourself? Amber needs more help!"

Linda was silent in place, she got up from her seat while carrying the food tray. Camilla realizes that Linda was offended by Joshua's last words.

"Josh, what are you thinking? Your words are cruel! " Regently Camilla then left Joshua. Alex tried not to defend anyone, he just continued to eat calmly.

"Well, I actually agreed with you that we should help find our missing friend. I admit you have a high sense of empathy, but you don't have to call Linda selfish. That's a little outrageous, you know that now that everyone is slandering Linda, is it worth calling her selfish? "

Before they could answer Alex's words, they both heard a commotion not far from their place. Tommy and his friends intercept Linda so she can't get through. Even Tommy said something bad to Linda.

"Hey, psyco. Where are you going? You think you can roam around freely after kidnapping Amber? shameless. " Tommy said with a mocking smile.

"Get out of the way! Don't**** with me! " Shouted Linda who began to be overwhelmed with anger because she was tired of facing stupid people like them.

"Well, are you threatening me? "

Linda moved quickly to hit Tommy's stomach and twisted his wrist until the sound of bones cracking sounded. Camilla who saw it was amazed and did not think that Linda was very strong.

"I warned you! " Siss Linda while showing her ferocious face.

As Tommy's group of friends disperse, they lead his dying pal to the infirmary.
