Two more chapters to go. I figured that I would post two chapters a day for your benefit and mine. I have the worst memory in the world, and if I just post a chapter a day, I have a feeling I would forget to post one of them. Haha story of my life. You should have seen me today in English, I forgot half my homework at home.
Disclaimer: I don't own Body of Proof, because if I did, Megan and Peter would be together by now ;)
Megan Hunt woke up to unfamiliar surroundings, a feeling of panic shot up her spine once she recalled the events the night before. "Dr. Hunt, how nice of you to rejoin the living. It must be tiresome work investigating the dead all the time." The voice came from somewhere behind Megan but she was too afraid to look. She looked down at her hands and saw them taped together as well as her body being tied to the chair. She tried to move but it was no use. "I wouldn't do that if I were you." The voice was closer now, and Megan could feel the person's breath on her ear as he spoke.
"What do you want?" She asked, surprised that her voice didn't give away how scared she truly was. The man behind her just laughed and then stepped into view. She tried to remember his name, but was drawing a blank.
"What I want is for my brother to be set free, but that doesn't look like it will happen for some time. That is, unless I have something the cops would want. You, Dr. Hunt seemed to have made quite the impression on the police as of late, and I would figure they would want you back in one piece." To emphasize the last part of his statement, he held up his knife to give Megan a better look. "It seems that I know your name Dr. Megan Hunt, but you have failed to remember mine. I believe you remember my brother, Will Carnegie. You sent the cops after him once you decided he was the killer of that stupid little girl. If you remember, we had quite the row in the interrogation room as you tried to get me to confess. Ringing any bells?"
I took her a moment, but then she remembered. "Daniel…Why are you doing this?"
"Why? Why?" Daniel slapped Megan across the face causing a tear to fall from her eyes. "You took away the only person who meant something to me! The only one I could count on! You left me alone with no one to turn to! Now I'm going to pay my brother back by doing the only thing I can, hurting you!" He placed the knife against her cheek. She closed her eyes as she felt the cold blade slicing through her skin, sticky blood began to run down her face. The next thing she knew, her mouth was being taped shut and Daniel's footsteps were heard retreating.
As he left, Megan let the tears fall freely. The only person she was, or could afford to be thinking of was her daughter, Lacey. "Lacey, I hope you are alright. I need to find some way to get out of here without getting myself killed."
Awe.. I wasn't quite sure what to write. My friend who is all blood and guts loving, said to cut her throat. That's a little too harsh for me, so I went with the cheek. Hope you enjoyed, sorry it's so short. This and the next chapter are just building up to the final chapter which is way longer.
Did I ever mention I'm thinking about becoming a Medical Examiner. Loved medicine since I was about 10, and I'm not the most social person in the world, so it would be perfect. I was thinking either that or an OB/Gyn. Kinda complete opposites, but both of them would be amazing to work as :)
Comment. Favorite. Alert. Whatever floats your boat :)
