Chapter 121

I wasn't able to fulfill your wish,

And I also wasn't able to do all efforts

I have been burned in grief, restlessly

But I wasn't able to quench it from heart

Please understand the signs, in silence

How should I describe my emotions and condition

There may be a blessing that I rise again

That I wasn't able to get any peace.......

★★★★★★★★

Ozan was playing on the carpet with some of his toys while Amy was sitting on the sofa adoring him and reading a book on criminal psychology.

"Mommy look Ostwich!" Ozan mumbled in his child's voice, showing her an ostrich toy. The kid was truly obsessed with the jungle things.

"Isn't it cute!" Amy said laughing at his childish talks. She was about to get down to play with him when her phone started ringing flashing Talia's name.

"Hey, Talia!" She said picking up one of his toys.

"Hey, Amy! Hope you aren't busy at the moment!" Talia said with an edge in her tired tone which didn't go unnoticed by Amy.

"No, just playing with Ozan. Is everything alright!?" She asked standing up.

"Yes….well no Amy. Can you come to the office as soon as possible!" Talia stated, her tone was really making her anxious. There was definitely something big, 

"Okay, I will be there in an hour!" Amy replied not asking anything further and hanging up. If there was something related to her work, it couldn't be discussed on phone. 

Amy stared down at Ozan who was still engrossed in his toys, it was twelve in the noon and she had to prepare lunch for Daniel but she couldn't ignore Talia's worried voice either. 

She instantly typed a message to Daniel saying that she had some emergency meeting at her office and would be taking Ozan with her. There wasn't any use lying to him and he wouldn't be bothered much because he was really busy nowadays due to the closing at the end of the year.

His response was quick, asking her to take care and don't worry about lunch. With that, she rushed to get herself ready along with Ozan and within half an hour she was outside her office.

"Ozan, will you be a good boy and play with your toys while Mommy completes some of her work with Aunt Talia!" She said gently settling him and his toys on the fluffy rug in his office.

"Okay, Mommy!" Ozan nodded with a toothy grin melting her heart. She kissed his cheeks before walking out of her office to Talia's desk. The glass window makes it easy for her to keep an eye on Ozan.

"Now shoot!" Her gentle expressions from before changed into apprehension and seriousness.

Talia who was already looking worried just pulled out a page that appeared to be a court notice from her file handing it to Amy.

"This was sent in the morning Amy," Her tone changed into an apologetic one. Amy grabbed it from her hand eyeing it.

The colour drained from her face as she went on reading it, it was a court order nullifying the case of Ayla Moretti.

Her senses seemed to get frozen for a second, blinking her eyes rapidly as if to make herself absorb the notice.

"W-WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!!!" She shouted gaining her senses, her whole face turning red. 

Talia didn't flinch she knew how bothering and severe it would be for her, 

"Unfortunately, it's true Amy. The court has decided to nullify the case considering you weren't able to bring a single apparent and substantial evidence against Gonzalez."

"We haven't been sitting around, some cases do take time and where is Kevin in this situation? He and his team is the whole witness" She exclaimed, her breathing started to stagger. No, this couldn't be happening.

"I don't know Amy but I am not getting a good vibe from him"

"What do you mean?"

"When I told him about the whole situation instead of showing the same expressions as you he was pretty chilled and calm. Like it doesn't matter to him anymore." 

Amy's mind started to pace at a fierce rate, 

"Pretty chilled!" She placed her hand on his forehead, crumbling the notice in her hand.

"Call him!"

"I tried a lot but his number is out of reach"

"Then get me connected to the national investigation bureau. Right now!" Amy called out looking back at the window at Ozan who was still playing.

Without further saying, Nadia immediately dialed, waiting for a response.

"Amy, here" She extended the cord of the phone towards her.

"Hello, Amy Mo-Saritas speaking here!" She breathed out, 

"We do know Ms Amy, what's the issue?" The officer asked professionally.

"I received a court notice in the morning about the dissolution of Ayla Moretti's case when Kevin Joshua and his team were working on it. How is that possible?"

"Ms Amy, are you sure that there has been working on this case because officer  Kevin himself withdrew from this case weeks ago saying that there wasn't any evidence against the said culprit. As for the team you are talking about, there wasn't any. He was working alone on this along with his assistant officer!"

"He withdrew, how can he do that without my permission?" Amy muttered in disbelief, worse scenarios running in her mind.

"He has the right in case of not finding anything substantial and you being on a hiatus also proved that there wouldn't be anything to bring into notice." The officer informed her.

"This is absurd, you guys can't do this. She was one of your officers!" Amy raised her voice, the whole situation was turning into hell.

"Are you blaming us, Ms Amy?" The officer implored rather vehemently.

"I am not blaming you but I have been working on this case for almost three years and…"

"That's the thing, three years and nothing. I am sorry but your idleness and Kevin's confirmation made us sign the closing documents because many other cases need our attention instead of running behind those with no less,"

Her shoulders slumped as she felt herself collapsing, a tear fell from her. Talia rushed to her side, making her sit on her chair.

Listening to the silence, the officer sighed.

"I can understand what this case meant to you, Ms Amy. Ayla was one of our dedicated young officers but we can't help you in this without having proof. You know how cases like this work and with Kevin's statement it was necessary to close this case. He must have studied the case enough to reach this decision and we can't challenge the court's decision without a proper allegation in our hands against the opposing party."

"I don't know why Kevin did this but closing this case will be an invitation to more" With that she smashed the receiver back on the phone and sank her face in her hands. 

She lost yet another battle of her life, she failed to provide justice to her only sister. Agonizing fury and pain were building inside her rippling through her cores.

"Amy…" Talia placed a hand over her shoulder with a gloomy face. She knew what this case meant to her.

"Why just why every single terrible thing happens to me!" She cried out, 

"This is not what you should be questioning Amy, the thing is why Kevin did this when he witnessed Mert (Gonsalez second-hand man)accepting to murder Ayla. He has been there throughout the case. Why would he back out like this without acknowledging us!"

This was unnervingly irking Amy but there wasn't any answer to it. The defeat was knocking on her destiny trying to crumble her,

"Do you think he played us?" Amy asked, hardly wiping her face, fury evident on her face along with a dejected look.

"With the evident things we have heard, it looks like that he played us but what would he gain out of it!" Talia voiced out her thoughts crossing her arms.

"If that's the case then let's go talk with him." She stood from the chair when her office door opened and out came Ozan reaching his mother. Amy quickly put on a smiling face.

"Mommy hungry!" He muttered rubbing his stomach.

"Amy you should go home," Talia spoke ruffling Ozan's hair as he scooted behind Amy's leg shyly.

"Kevin…"

"He is on a week's leave as told by his fellow officer. I don't think it will be possible for us to reach him but I will try." Talia stated.

Amy held Ozan in her embrace, his powdery smell calming her raging mind.

"Inform me if you get any news about him!" She instructed, 

Talia nodded giving her a sympathetic smile, 

"I will don't worry!" 

It was impossible for her not to worry but one could try to comfort the other.

Amy looked down at Ozan kissing his nose, 

"Let's go get you some nuggets!" His face lit up hearing that as he kissed back his mother's nose warming her restless heart.
