With that in mind, she dialed Kaleb's numbers.
After a few rings, the call was picked up, "Violette, what's up?"
"Kaleb, Sabrina's gone. Did you know?" Violette said.
"What? She's dead? I had no idea! I'm at the hospital getting my meds... She seemed fine when I talked to her yesterday..." Kaleb said.
"You didn't fight with her?" Violette asked.
"No way!" Kaleb's tone was smooth and natural, After a few seconds, he seemed to recall something, "I remember the last time my uncle came over for dinner, Rina was there too. They didn't get along at all. My uncle said she wouldn't last long and she's been freaking out about it..."
Violette's face turned a shade paler, "Impossible! I've been with Elijah all day yesterday and today. He didn't do anything!"
Kaleb sighed, "Violette, why do you always lose your rationality when it comes to my uncle? I'm just telling you what I know. I wouldn't rat out my uncle to the cops..."
Violette snapped, "Kaleb! You better be sure Sabrina's death has nothing to do with you! The police will get to the bottom of this!"
Kaleb composed himself, "I didn't do it. I had no motives or reasons to kill her. Even if we had a fight, I wouldn't kill her. Violette, you stopped caring about me the moment you fell for my uncle."
"Cut it out! Did you care about me when you were with Sabrina?" Violette hung up the call angrily.
The policeman asked, "Who were you talking to?"
"Kaleb, Sabrina's boyfriend." Violette reported his number to the cop, "Sabrina was always with him recently. He must know why Sabrina jumped off the building."
Around noon, Violette left the police station and took a cab to her mom's place.
After breaking the news about Sabrina's death to her mom, Violette whispered, "Mom, I couldn't recognize her... Her face was covered in blood... I couldn't see her features..."
Albina held her daughter tight, "Violette, don't be scared! It was her fate, it has nothing to do with us. Let's just live our own lives."
"Kaleb said Elijah did it..." Violette's voice was cold, "I don’t believe it! I don't believe Elijah could kill someone!"
"Have you talked to Elijah?" Albina asked, "Even if he did it, he must have had a reason."
"Mom, no reason justifies taking someone’s life. If Sabrina committed a crime, she will face legal consequences." Violette said.
"Violette, Sabrina's uncle committed a crime. Did he face any legal consequences?" Albina held her hands tightly, "I'm not saying killing someone is right. I'm just telling you, don't take Kaleb's words for it."
