C6 Another day in my jumbled-up life.

I was sitting on the bench, looking at the man sitting at the front desk. He was doing his work. He was writing something on the file. My brain had become numb. What I saw in the hidden compartment still scared me. I was sleepy. I did not understand what was happening.

I was just thinking that suddenly I remembered that the first day they discovered human limbs in the haunted house. As soon as I remember My hands start trembling. I started sweating. Darkness starts coming in front of my eyes. I start shaking my head. This cannot be.

I rise to my feet. I start mumbling in my mouth. It cannot be true. I had just arrived there. I went there just for an interview. I arrived at noon or afternoon. Why am I not remembering when I reached the amusement park? Everything seems blurry to me.

I lean against the wall. I did not do anything. I did not kill anyone. How can I do that? I went straight to Jeff's office. I was in his office for quite some time. I have not come out even once, so how can I do this work? So, someone puts a hand on my shoulder, and I start screaming loudly. Poppy who was standing in the distance, gazing at me. She was looking at me in astonishment.

She comes near me. “Are you okay?’’ Poppy asked. I look at her. Why are you asking?” I said with a smile. I guess you are not feeling well. I think you should sit back here on the bench. I bring a glass of water for you. Hmm... you are right. I am feeling lightheaded today” I said while sitting on the bench.

She goes to get a glass of water. After some time, Poppy gives me a glass of water. But because of my hands were tied behind my back, she feeds me a sip. I take a deep breath. How are you feeling now?” Poppy asked. I said nothing, just staring at the floor. She tapped on my shoulder. I look at her. She was smiling. I am asking you how you are feeling now” Poppy asked again.

When we were conversing. I hear a screeching sound. I look to my left and saw a man coming toward me. He was angry. He is 6.3 feet tall. He has hazel eyes with black curly hair. Jaden Walsh is an honest police officer. He recently got promoted and became a detective. His Father was murdered in a robbery gone wrong. He is still grieving.

He suddenly grabbed me by my collar and made me stand. You know who this is. “He is a habitual criminal” Jayden yelled.

I told you it was a mistake. It was not supposed to happen. I panicked. I was yelling” He pushes me and looks at Poppy. What are you doing? You know what he did. And it has been done. He does not deserve any VIP treatment. Take him where he deserves to live” Jayden shouted.

Okay, okay, you do not have to yell at me? You say so. I was nice to him. I am taking him to the interview room” Poppy said while taking me interview room. Poppy makes me sit on the chair. She looks at me. I wonder what you did to him to be angry at you so bad” Poppy asked. I look at her. Umm... A long time ago I made a mistake that altered many people's lives. My eyes walled up with tears.

Poppy pressed her lips. Umm... What did not you do?” She asked. I look at her with a surprised face. What are you talking about?” I asked. Do not look at me like that. Poppy said with a smile. When I approached you earlier you were mumbling something. You were saying you did not do it. So, I am asking you what you did not do it?” She asked. Haaa... I spoke.

So and so the door opens. We looked towards the door and Jayden walked into the room. What are you still doing here?’’ He asked Poppy. You do not need to be angry. I am leaving. I have not seen this side of you before” Poppy said while leaving the room.

Jayden sat on the chair. He leans forward and puts his hand on the table. Hmm... so you beat him up. Why? Are you short of money? I mean it is strange because you usually kill people for money. Letting him live is not in your book. I learned my lesson when I first met you a decade ago” he said. I leaned back on the chair.

You know deep down that what you are saying is not true. I am not a killer. I genuinely apologize to you and your family. While we were talking, the door opens, and this time the woman enters the room. She looks at me. You can go now. You got bail” she said. Jayden did not move. I get to my feet and walk outside the room.

Poppy was sitting at her desk, looking at me like I am some kind of psycho. I quickly left the police station. And straight goes to my apartment. I opened the door with the spare key which I had kept under the rug. I quietly walked into the apartment, ran to the bathroom, and started looking at the ceiling.

I was trying to open it. The hidden compartment was not there. which was no longer there. Where did it go? I saw it with my own eyes. I was mumbling and, in the meantime, Leon snuck up to me from behind.

What are you doing here? If Darel saw you here, he would call the police. He already filed for a restraining order” I look at him. I was... I was... um... I spoke. Leon forwards his hand. I want you to leave now and give me the spare key which I will hand over to Darel later”

I gave him the key. By the way, what are you trying to find? There was nothing up there” Leon asked. I looked at the ceiling and I said nothing. I left the apartment and went to the amusement park. Jeff was already there. He was not very happy to see me. I started going inside. You would not want to know who got you bailed. You are lucky I did not fire you” I look at him.

I stop for a while. Then I start walking straight. Jeff calls me from behind. I look over my shoulder. You are going wrong. Your room is at the back of the palm reader tent. When I reached the room. It was a small room separate from the building. I opened the door and what I saw inside terrified me, and I suddenly collapsed to the ground.
