What Happened To Sammy?

A/N: AHHHHH! I'm SO Sorry! I lost my Night of Skulls book! I don't remember where I put it. Im pretty sure my aunt threw it somewhere though! She's forever doing that!

Chapter 1

Casey's POV

Sammy was in the hospital, thanks to me. I- I couldn't even say it out loud. Someone beat her up. I found her lying unconscious, in an alley, all beat up. Her lip was swollen, her stomach was bruised badly, even the side of her head had a huge bloody gash.

I immediately called 911 and I have been here ever since.

Who would do that to Sammy? Was it one of the people she caught on her cases? Was it Heather? Who?

Okay so, I guess you wanna know what happened.

Me and Sammy had a little argument over something really stupid and she stormed away, too mad to say where she was going. I don't know why I didn't go after her two seconds later, but that just proves how stupid some boys could be. Anyway twenty minutes later, that's when I decided to go looking for her. First I went to the Senior Highrise, but Sammy's grandmother was the only one there.

I looked everywhere, first at public places. Like Hudson's, Marissa's house, the park, the graveyard, even the mall, but she wasn't anywhere.

After a while, I just started looking everywhere. Like in boarded up places, behind buildings, in people's yards. Then I started looking in alleys, and that's when I found Sammy. At first I thought it was a homeless person, but my instinct told me to check anyway. So I moved closer, and noticed her hightops first-

"Casey!" Someone shouted my name.

It was Marissa, and I could tell she had been crying. Billy, Holly, Dot and Nike were with her.

Okay, I know what your thinking. Who's Nike? Well Nike is a new student. He just started William Rose Junior High, with Sammy and everyone else. I'm in ninth grade at Santa Martina High. His name is spelled Nike but its pronounced Nick.

Anyway they all came in and started asking me questions. I told them exactly what happened and then we all started waiting.

Finally after what seemed like forever, the doctor came out and said that Sammy will be okay and in time she'll get better. Then we asked to see her and he lead us into her room.

There was bandage on her head, and it looked like there was some type of cast on her stomach. A tear ran down my cheek as I remembered the way I found her.

The first thing I said was, "Sammy. You have to tell us who did this!"

Her eyes widened in fear and she closed her eyes like she was trying to forget something instead of remember it. She shook her head wildly and whimpered.

"Sammy? Its okay, that person can't hurt you anymore, but you have to tell us so we could put 'em in jail. The police will protect you, even Officer Borsch. You helped them with so many cases, they'll make sure that your safe and they'll put that person behind bars for a couple of years for assault of a minor." I insisted, holding her hand to somehow tell her that I was there for her.

"I can't tell. He said that he'll kill me and my family. He knows where I live, he gave me the name, street and number of my Grams apartment. He won't hesistate either." She said a tear rolling down her cheek.

"Guys can you please leave the room, I need to get this out of her. But I don't think she wants to say it in front of you guys." Casey said to Marissa, Billy, Holly and Nike. They all agreed and left the room.

"Sammy, now you can tell me. Or, at least give me a hint, please?" I pleaded with her.

She took a deep breath and then said, "Hatred for eyes. Steel for a mouth. Ask Marissa, she'll know what it means." Sammy then, rolled around in her bed and I nodded and left.

A/N: Anyone who knows the Sammy Keyes books by heart would know who did it by that hint. If you don't know the name, then at least guess what book its from or something. To me that's a very specific hint. Sammy has never seen a face like that. Does it ring a bell? Review please?
