Chapter Eleven

“Alright,” Robin said. “Let’s go over the facts of everything that happened, and then let’s see what evidence we have.”

“It won’t help,” Kyle whispered. He rubbed his eyes, looking gaunt and drained. He looked as if he hadn’t slept in days. His eyes were bloodshot, and there were dark circles under his eyes. His face was covered with stubble, making him look less than alive. He lit another cigarette and took a drag, relishing the nicotine that flooded his lungs.

Robin looked around the dirty apartment, noticing the mess of beer bottles and takeout food boxes. She sighed to herself before turning her attention toward her friend.

“Kyle,” she said. “We need to do this.”

“Do you know how often I have gone over it?” he whispered, looking up at her with vacant eyes. “Do you know how long I have poured over the facts and the evidence and all that crap? Five years. For the past five years, I have thought about it every day. I know the facts by heart, Robin. And they all say one thing – he killed her. Do you know what evidence we have to support that? Nothing. The commissioner shut me down before I could even investigate the man properly. It’s been five years, Robin. Do you think we will find any evidence now?”

He stood up, grabbing his head and pacing around the room.

“I thought I had accepted my fate,” he whispered to himself. “I thought I had accepted that I could never find justice for Rose. I had buried it somewhere deep within me. I struggled with the pain and void in my heart, trying to live without her, but it’s so hard. But still, I managed to move on. Yet, seeing that man again, it boils my blood!”

He slammed his hand on the mirror that hung on the wall, shattering it.

“Kyle!” Robin shouted, running to him. She grabbed his hand, which was covered in shards of glass and oozing blood.

“You don’t understand!” he gasped, his eyes wide. There was a look in his eyes that was all too familiar to Robin. She saw in it a crazy desire for revenge. It appeared that Kyle had a thirst for justice and the need to avenge the woman he loved. She knew it all too well. And she knows that it drives a man to do things that were too horrible to even think about.

“You don’t feel my pain!” he shouted. “Seeing him every day, walking around, living his life, it’s too much! He has money, power, success. Everything! Where is his consequence? Where is his suffering? Where is justice? Do you want to go over the facts? Let’s go over the facts then!”

He tore his hand away from Robin, ignoring the blood that dripped from it. He started to pace around, and his voice became oddly calm.

“Rose Grange, twenty-eight, was found in a quarry on the 31st March, five years ago. She was reported missing a few days ago by her husband, Kyle Grange. A search was started for her, and she was eventually found dead.
