Jody knocks on the door .

"Sheriff Department." She shouts out.

The door opens revealing a middle-aged man .He had brown hair, hazel eyes, red and white checked shirt with blue jeans. His eyes are bloodshot due to crying.

"Yes?" He says his voice hoarse.

"You Mr Mark Sterling?"

"Yes."

Jody raises her badge.

"Sheriff Mills. I'm here to talk to you about your daughter Nora Sterling."

"You got the killer?" He asked his face lit up with hope.

"Not yet."

His face fell.

"Oh."

"I would like to ask you a few questions if that's okay .It will really benefit the case."

"Yes of course."

He frowns at the girl next to the Sheriff. Jody realizes and smiles.

"This is Patience. She is helping on this case."

" I'm sorry for your loss Mr Sterling. " Patience says.

Mr Sterling says nothing. He has heard the sentence too many times now. So much he didn't feel like answering to it anymore.

"Come in ladies." He says. They come in. Mr Sterling gestures to them to sit down. "You want something to drink. Tea, coffee?"

"We're fine thank you." Jody answers as she sat down. Mr Sterling sits down his hands fidgety waiting anxiously for the questions he is about to be asked. "So Mr Sterling."

"Mark is fine."

"Mark. Your daughter was baby sitting for the Clark family. Correct?"

"Yes um it was my idea. I got her into the job. Thought it would be good for her to go out and earn some cash."

"What's your relationship to the Clark family?"

"I don't really know them to be honest. I saw the advertisement online of wanted babysitters so I called them, spoke to Mrs Clark and they wanted to meet my daughter before accepting her. Nora went around there, met them, they liked her and she got the job."

"Mark are you in relationship?"

No separated but Nora lives me. She didn't want to leave town with her mother. She was already settled into school and she didn't want to be away from her friends."

"I see. Why babysitting?"

Mark sighs.

"I'm a guy and I thought babysitting was the perfect job for a teenager girl." He chuckles "Yes old-fashioned I know. I'm showing my age."

"How did Nora feel?"

"We argued at first but that's what teenagers do but after meeting the Clarks, she was fine. On the night, she got ready and left."

"Do you know the other victim Brendan Miller?"

"No. Never heard of him."

"We found your daughter's phone in the crime scene and there has been texts between her and Brendan. She invited him over."

"She what?"

"They were in a relationship." Patience says.

Mark shakes his head.

"No, I know my daughter she wouldn't keep something like that from me."

"How would you react if she told you she had a boyfriend?" Jody asks.

"I um...I wouldn't be very impressed but..."

"That is probably why you didn't know. Nora must have been scared to tell you."

"Scared of me? My own daughter...scared of me?" Mark leans back in his chair surprised by this news. "I thought we were close, we would tell each other anything."

Jody gives him a sympathetic look.

"That is teenagers for you. They tend to not tell us everything. I know because I experienced it myself."

"You have children?"

The Sheriff nods.

"Yes. Three girls."

Patience looks at Jody when she said it. Three girls? That meant Jody was including her to. Patience couldn't help but smile.

Mark laughs a little.

"You got triple the amount."

"Tell me about it. The arguments, the tears, I been through it all. But I will always love them. No matter what." Jody smiles at Patience as she said it.

Patience smiles back.

Claire and Alex are really lucky to have Jody. She thought.

Jody accepted them for who they were. Patience's dad, he didn't. He refused to accept it. Patience frowns at the memory. The memory when she walked out on her dad.

"Was there anyone who Nora didn't get on with? Any issues?" Jody asks getting back to the topic.

"Um no I don't think so. Everyone got on with Nora. Wait... you think whoever killed my daughter, they knew her? They wanted her dead?"

"We don't know. It could be listed as a possibility."

"How do you know she was the target, the boy could have been the target, The killer might have followed him there." Now Mark looked enraged. "He could be responsible for her death."

"Now, now Mr Sterling you can't start pointing the finger accusing people There is no evidence to prove it."

"But..."

"I know you are shocked by the news but you can't start blaming the boy. Remember you are not the only one who is grieving. Think of his family. What they are going through."

Mark sighs heavily.

"I know. I'm sorry its just...damm my baby girl was in a relationship. She was probably enjoying herself with him doing what young couples do then suddenly..." He stops unable to bring himself to say the next part."

Jody nods understanding him.

"I know."

"I called her mother this morning. She should be here by evening."

"Okay. I'm done for today." The Sheriff and Patience stand up. "I'll call you if I need to ask more questions."

Mark stands up.

"What you gonna do?"

"I can't tell you that."

"Oh okay...yes of course you can't sorry."

"Its fine. I understand you want answers."

"Hey umm you mind if I use your bathroom?" Patience asks.

"Of course. Upstairs to your left."

"Thanks I won't be long."

Patience walks up the stairs leaving the Sheriff with the victim's father. She goes past the bathroom straight to the girl's bedroom. The psychic opens the door and walks in. The coldness hits Patience in the face. The room is freezing. Patience exhales and cold air comes out.

That's when the young psychic knew something wasn't right. She felt drawn to the laptop that was on the dressing table. Patience walks up to it and switches the laptop on. The screen glows bright and reveals a screenshot of Nora and her dad smiling at a dinner table. Patience leans forward and clicks on google. Facebook comes up revealing a private conversation between Nora and Brendan.

They arranged this the night before Nora did the babysitting.

Then suddenly letters started appearing on the screen. Patience goes back her eyes widen.

B...O...G... Patience held her breath having a feeling what the word was going to be. E...Y...M...A...N

BOGEYMAN

Patience takes a few steps back processing what she saw. She turns and faces the dead Nora. Patience covers her mouth trying her best to not freak out.

Nora looks down at the black blood that flowed out of her chest. Her eyes slowly go up and stop when her eyes met the psychic's. Then she let out a blood curdling scream.

Patience falls back on to the bed and images of the killer flashes across her eyes.

"Michael." An eerily voice says through the images.

Then the ghost vanished and the room fell silent again. Patience gets up and runs out of the room. She goes down the stairs.

"Hey you alright?" Jody asks noticing how scared the girl looked.

"I'm fine." Patience quickly answered.

"Is everything okay?" Mark asks puzzled.

"Uh we gotta go." Jody says. "Thank you for your time."

The Sheriff took Patience out of the house leaving the man more puzzled than ever.

Did I forget to clean out the toilet? He thought.

Patience gets in the chair and takes a few breaths.

In. Out. In. Out. She tells herself.

Jody gets in.

"Patience. What happened?"

"I saw her."

"Saw who?" Jody had a thought. "Oh."

"Yeah I saw her. Nora. She left me a message. Two actually."

"What?"

"Bogeyman was one but the other was a name."

"A name? What name?"

Patience looks at her.

"Michael."
