The day had already retired into night, it wasn't anything special and millions of similar nights had graced the city. But specifically in front of the lake the moon stood out, illuminating the water so brightly it made the woman standing before it seem so surreal and awfully goddess like.
"Miss the chief has arrived." Her driver whispered slowly into her ear not to startle her.
Patricia nodded and walked back, tossing the burning cigarette into the lake she got into her car. There was a knock on the window before cold breeze accompanying the balding man stung her cheek.
"Hurry up will you." She ordered and the man scrambled in.
"Miss Lee." He bowed slightly as he sat as far as the car would let him.
"Chief Jang, Jang Cheol Jong." She said slowly.
He looked at her and bowed yet again, it made him feel so small and pitiful but he couldn't escape it it was his fate.
Patricia expression remained unchanging as she began to regret discarding her smoke. "Don't you think it's time to bring the dead actress back to life?"
"Pardon?"
"I want you to bring Jessie Marin back to life, dig up that woman you buried and perform a DNA test to prove she isn't Jessie. Then inform the press." Patricia stated bluntly.
The Cheif wasn't sure he was hearing correctly, he went through a lot to cover this up and stage the actresses death and now? Bring her back to life? What utter nonsense!
"But, miss Lee. We already risked the entire integrity of the police covering this case up, don't you thi-"
"Excuses!" She yelled, huffing she pushed her hair out of her face and turned to face him for the first time since he entered the car.
"Did I ask for you opinion? All you have to do is what I tell you." She laughed wickedly. "Look at this, that bitch cut my hair and now I have to wear which ever dead bitch this was gotten from." She grabbed her hair.
"What?"
"That's not even the worst, she lives with my fiance and apparently he loves her. What I'm I to do? I mean all of a sudden I have began to like him more and more, maybe it's because I know realize I can't have him. Have you ever felt that way?" She rambled like a crazy person and the Cheif felt utterly confused.
"Anyway, I killed that bitch because she too much of a nuisance, but she has even become and even bigger nuisance. Must I let her go free? I was kind the first time,now she will know what it feels like to have burning hatred of the world." She said with an evil look in her eyes.
'She must be mad!' The chief surmised, he couldn't understand a word she was saying.
"All you have to do is open a case on Jessie Marin again for the murder of her driver. If she is alive then you can pursue that. If she's arrested how many years will that get her?" Patricia asked.
"It can range from about fifteen to life imprisonment." He answered.
"Hmm that's too little, how about pin the murder of the dead woman in her place on her as well." Patricia suggested, "that seems splendid!"
"But Miss Lee, would people really believe the police isn't guilty in this? We did come up with the conclusions after all."
Patricia rolled her eyes. "Pin it on that useless detective why don't you? The fool that was brazen enough to come after me."
"But how?"
"Ahh.. you're so stupid! How do you lack even the slightest creativity? Get a warrant of arrest immediately, arrest him and frame him." She smiled. "Look everything has already been prepared for all you have to do is take action."
"That's your plan? Not bad." Goerge stated interrupting her discussion with Mary.
Patricia frowned, whoever let him into her room yet again will die after she was done with him. "You seem to have grown so attached to me all of a sudden. Remember I am your neice and I have no interest in incest."
"Come now, incest? Don't you even know what that means? And besides of all the women in this world why would I settle for someone as wicked as you?"
Patricia scoffed and shook her head. Goerge continued to explain why she was unsuitable for any man. "Why would someone in their right mind be interested in you? Perhaps he doesn't want a long life."
"I know you didn't come in here to explain why I am undesirable. What do you want, George?"
"Don't get informal with me now, it's uncle neice." He reprimanded her, before she could retort he continued. "I could not help but overhear-"
"You mean eavesdrop." She couldn't help but interrupt.
"Whatever, so your plan is to prove that Jessie Marin isn't really dead and open the case on the dead driver." He said.
"Yes?"
"Is that it? I mean the only evidence the police has is her finger print on the murder weapon. She hasn't given a testimony before, if she says she happened to handle it that night the case with be tossed away. Besides there is no motive." He reminded her.
"And what will you do when she reveals the existence of the auction house? Sure she doesn't have proof aganist us but don't you think it's too risky?" He asked. "Not to mention if you come at her like that with cops and the media what is your assurance that she wouldn't disappear again?"
She pursed her lips and sighed. "I intended on framing her for the dead body that is supposed to be her. There is motive for that, she used the woman as a cover up to deceive the police that she was dead. And no jury will dismiss arguments made so easily when there a two murders. Besides my end goal isn't jail." She smiled. "I intend to ruin her reputation so much that she can never step out in public ever again."
"Isn't that her situation at the moment?" Mary said. "She already can't go out in public."
"Oh that is only the beginning."
Preview 169: Coming up Patricia.
"Then you don't want the location then." He frowned. "Besides do you think it would be so easy to convince the public without proof? Even if you had Jessie, she's not a normal person she has influence and support. What stops people from blaming the persecution instead? I'll tell you what is going to happen, the police will arrest Jessie from Jason's house and you'll put all the blame on the detective in charge of her case. Dig up dirt on him, or frame him anyway there must be a connection between and the actress."
