Everyone is freaking out. “Hope do you have any cuts on your
body?” I ask her. I don’t want to touch her with out her permission to check. She
starts to feel her body and nods no. “Okay sweetie.” I smile at her trying to
make her feel safe. I can’t imagine being that young and feeling like that. “Cahira
can I have a second?” Grace says, I rub Hope’s shoulder and get up to go to
Grace. “What’s up?” I ask her. “Really what’s up? Well we have to cut these
people open to figure out who has the key in them. That’s what’s up.” Grace says as she pulls a to go surgical kit
out of her bag. “You really just carry that around with you?” I ask her. “Yes,
as should you. You never know when situation like this will arise.” Grace says
like she is some kind of girl scout. “Why would we ever be in situations like
this? I mean really? This is all happening because you, mother and dad are sick
in the head.” I tell her, I don’t mean to sound as sassy as I do. “No, we are
in this situation because dad’s high school sweet heart decided not to
terminate her pregnancy. Instead she gave up the baby, who grew up to be a man
that we now have to deal with. That is why all of this is happening.” Grace says with a smirk. She loves to be right
and isn’t afraid to show it. “Grace you might want to cover your face.” I tell
grace. She looks at me confused. “What?” Grace says. “Your horns are showing.”
I tell her and laugh. “Oh you’re so funny.” Grace says.
“We
should figure out a way to get this key.” Grace says to me. “Well I’m all
ears.” I tell her. She walks into the middle of everyone and starts waving her
arms to get their attention. I pick up little Hope and walk over. “Who here is
a doctor or a nurse?” Grace says. Everyone looks around to see if any one
raises their hand, but no one does. “So no one here can help with the cutting
of your stiches and finding this key.” Grace says. “I was a vet tech.” said one
of the guys in back. “Your name?” I ask. “My name is Michael.” He says. “Why do
we have to listen to these two? You are just little girls.” Says the FBI’s most
wanted. He steps in Grace’s face. She smiles and stabs him in the leg. “I just
cut one of your major artery. Do you know what that means? Its means you’re
bleeding out.” The guy falls to the floor and is trying to cover up the cut,
like it going to save him. Grace circles around him and slits his throat. “That’s
who we are.” She whispers to him. As he falls over, Grace lifts his shirt and
cuts his stiches open. “No Key.” She says as she looks up at me.
I look
up at everyone looks super confused. Some but not most look scared. “So, any
one got questions?” Grace asks. I pull a sheet over him. “Now back to you vet
tech. Do you think you can check everyone for the key without hurting them?”
Grace says to Michael. He steps forward and looks at Grace. “Yea I should be
able to.” Michael says. I notice a woman
steps forward from the back. “Your related to Daniel, aren’t you?” She asks
Grace. “Who is Daniel?” I ask her. “He was my high school sweet heart. That was
the last time I say someone get killed in front of me and seen the murder with
that look in their eyes.” Grace and I look at each other and back at her.
“What’s your name?” I ask her. She looks scared. “I would rather not say.” She
tells us. “Her name is Laura.” Says a guy behind her. “And how do you know
that?” Grace says him. “I went to high school with them.” He says. “That what
your going to say? You went to high school with us!” She now seems mad at the
guy talking. “Okay so we know her name, now can you tell us yours.” I ask him. “Mario. My name is Mario.” He says. “What does
she mean when she said that was all you were going to say.” Grace asks him. “I
mean that he was Daniels other half. We were both in a relationship with
Daniel.” Laura says. I step back and
whisper in Graces ear. “So is he gay or straight?” I ask. “So Daniel was dating
him behind your back?” Grace asks. “No, we always knew about each other. It was
a well-known thing.” Mario says. “When was the last time you saw Daniel?” I ask
them. “Graduation.” Laura says. “That was the day he broke up with us. He said
it was fun well it lasted but he had to go on.” Mario said. “We were all going
to different colleges, so we all agreed.” Laura said. “This is just weird.”
Grace says. “It was their relationship, don’t judge.” I tell her. “Fine what
ever, no judgement but I am going to have to cut you open. I am pretty sure one
of you has the key.” Grace holds up her knife. Both step back in fear.
