Nightmares
Pt 4
Carter rolled off Sobricki "You jerk" he said as he stood there and watched him take his last breath "You okay Lucy?" he asked
"Yeah just help me get out of these" Lucy said struggling to get out of her restraints. He untied her and opened the door for Susan
"You guys okay?" She asked
"Yeah can't say the same for him" Lucy said pointing to Paul
"What happened?" she asked
"Long story" Carter said
"Well he's dead" Susan said as she checked for a pulse
"Yeah, I guess I should call the police" Lucy said as she got on the phone, Carter and Susan went into the living room
"Well it looks like that nightmare is gone," Carter said plopping himself down on the couch
"You going to be okay John?" Susan asked
"Yeah I just got to get my heart to stop racing" Carter said
"Okay cops are on the way," Lucy said entering seating herself next to Carter. They sat there for a while waiting when there was a knock at the door
"Police, let us in" the officer said
"Follow me" Lucy said letting him in and walking toward the bedroom, they came back out
"Okay I need to get statements from the three of you, and the coroner is on his way here" the officer said.

The body was taken out and the cops spent at least an hour talking to them, when everyone was gone it was 5 in the morning
"We better get going, are you going to be okay alone Lucy?" Susan asked
"Yeah besides, I've got to get ready for work" Lucy said
"Okay we'll see you at work" Carter said. Lucy walked them to the door and when she closed it she looked around and for the first time that night cried

At County later
"You think she'll come into work?" Susan asked Carter as they walked in the door
"I hope so if not I'll go check on her later" Carter said, they were walking into the lounge when Lucy busted through
"Whoa there Lucy slow down" Susan said as she stopped in her tracks
"Sorry just really busy got to go" Lucy said as she scurried away
"I know what you are thinking" Carter said "I'm thinking the same thing" he finished as they went inside

Later that day
"Hey Lucy how you doing today?" Carter asked when he found her up on the roof
"I don't know I'm still trying to get over last night" Lucy said as she took a sip of her coffee
"I know but hey he's gone now and he can never hurt either of us," Carter said
"I guess, I'm just still worried" Lucy said looking at him with tears in her eyes
"Lucy I don't think you should go home alone tonight, why don't you spend the night with Susan and I" Carter said putting a protective arm around her
"I couldn't do that I don't want to intrude" Lucy said
"No that's okay I talked it over with Susan she's more then happy about it" Carter said
"All right but just for one night" Lucy said wiping the tears from her eyes
