is a bad idea.”
“Hey you can’t stop me, and by the way, your father’s never right. Come on let’s go.”
He smiled again. He felt so lucky to know her, and he admired her, her passion—it burned so bright that he could feel it. It was intoxicating.
“Okay, I’ll bite, go where?”
Her look changed from one of concern to a sudden excitement. She took his hand and led him out of the park. Moments later they were at the library.
“I don’t understand, what are we doing here?” he asked.
She didn’t reply and instead sat down at one of the tables in the corner and so did Sunny. She took out a notepad and pen from her backpack and flipped through it. Sunny saw that the pad was full of notes and scribbles. He recognized the handwriting from the letters she’d sent him in prison. He still couldn’t quite believe he was sitting there. A free man. But most of all, he couldn’t believe he was sitting next to Sarah—the girl that never gave up on him. He watched her face wrinkle as she read through some of her writings. Some notes had been written down so fast that now even she was having a tough time understanding them. Sunny liked that about her—that the excitement of a moment could take her over so easily. She finally noticed him staring, and started to blush.
“What are you looking at?” she asked.
“Nothing, it’s just…I missed you.”
“I missed you too.”
She went back to her notepad and flipped to a blank page and began to write.
“So this is what we know so far,” she said, trying her best to sound like a serious newspaper journalist.
“You were framed for killing Eddy.”
“Framed? What makes you think I was framed?” asked Sunny.
“The bullet that killed Eddy was from your gun. Everyone knew you both hated each other, and pretty much the whole school saw the fight. And last but not least, you threatened to kill him. Everyone knew it, so someone decided to use you as the fall guy to kill Eddy.”
“I should never have threatened him,’ said Sunny in a distant voice. “I’ve been regretting it every single day since it happened. I was full of such anger back then, so much hatred, like the world owed me something.”
Sarah put her hand on his in an effort to console him.
“Hey don’t beat yourself up over it Sunny. You were a young guy, a different person. Besides, you were just protecting me. You have to stop punishing yourself for the mistakes of the past, forgive yourself or you can never move on. Anyway it’s all my fault, I should never have told you what he did to me.”
“Hey,” said Sunny as he put his hand on her shoulder. “I’m glad you told me, and like you said, let’s stop beating ourselves up for the past.”
She smiled.
“So,” she continued. “Since it’s fairly certain that you were framed, all we have to figure out is who would frame you and why.”
They both sat there in silence for a few moments.
“We need to find out if Eddy had any enemies,” said Sunny. “In order to do that we’re gonna have to somehow get his file.”
“His file?” asked Sarah.
“Police file.”
“What are you proposing Sunny? Break into the Police Department and take it? What if they catch you? You know you’ll go straight back to prison right?”
“Got any better ideas?” he asked.
She thought for a moment.
“What if I visit Eddy’s house,” she said.
“Forget it, his mom would never let you through the front door. Unless you distract her and I break in through a window round the back.”
“Would you stop thinking of breaking the law all the time Sunny? There are easier ways to get what you want, you just have to apply a little tenacity.”
“Really?” he replied, “there’s no way in hell you’re getting in that house without force, I guarantee it.”
She smiled.
“I guess that’s a challenge
