"Leslie took the gun out of the bag and threw it into the rive"
Leslie
took the gun out of the bag and threw it into the river. She heard only a quiet splash as
a gun touched the water surface. She turned back and went slowly back home. It was late in
the evening, so it was hard to catch a bus. She was also without money so a taxi, wasn't a
good solution either. She decided to go through a Central Park and think a bit about
events that happened lately.
Everything started on Saturday, when she went to her mother to Michigan. She hadn't seen
here since her fathers' death. Her mother very hard accepted this loss and became an
alcoholic. Now everything was over, but mother never got back to normal life.
When Leslie came to her mother's house she found her dead with a pistol in one hand and a
sheet of paper in other. She was shocked. Firstly she couldn't believe in that what
happened, but quickly recovered and called the police. The police examined the crime
scene. They took fingerprints from the gun, shot some photographs and finally took the
body to the nearest morgue. Leslie stayed in Michigan in her friend's home waiting for the
official police report, which she received after a couple of days. There was written:
"Because of facts, which unambiguously point at this case as a suicide there is no
necessity to start an investigation. If new evidence appears till 31 December 2001 the
case will be resumed.
Because of big value of a gun (which was used as a crime instrument) as a family memento,
there is a possibility of taking it by the nearest family member of deceased."
Before she went back home, Leslie visited the police station. She showed her license to
the police officer, signed some documents and took a gun. She didn't know why?
Now she knew that throwing this gun into a river was a farewell with her mother. A person,
who, to tell the truth, was for her entirely unknown.
It was 2 O'clock a.m. when Leslie got home, but her closest friend, collie, was patiently
waiting for her. She smiled. It was a first smile, which appeared on her face.
