The Sacrifice

CHAPTER 4.

SCENE 4:

INT. BANK OF NEVADA – DAY

Since young, he had been like a ball, shuffling from one foster home to another foster home. He could not stay for more than a month in any foster home. The foster parents all deemed he was too brooding. They reported to social services that he was a difficult kid who could not get along with other kids.

The complaints ranged from shoving another kid down from the top of the bunk bed and showing no remorse and placing thumbtacks in some kids shoes and laughed when the kid pulled out his bloody feet.

He had no compassion for other kids. They bullied him and he wanted revenge.

He had no empathy for them. He could not feel their pains.

Their pains made him happy instead.

He was diagnosed as psychopathic.

Social Services had difficulties placing him in foster home due to his bad records. Social workers all wore a look of exasperation when they had to bring him back from the foster home.

He thought he would meander in the system until he reached of age but Ernie Dell had proven him wrong.

Ernie took him under his care and gave him something he always yearned for – love. Ernie did not show favoritism. The truth was that Ernie seemed to love his foster kids than his birth kids.

He loved and respected Ernie Dell very much. It was through Ernie that he met Natalie. Natalie and he had bonded immediately. They were both psychopathic. She had pushed her sister to death and she did not feel any guilt. She wanted her sister dead because her real father preferred Chloe. All she wanted was he to pay a little more attention to her but he could not because that bastard father of hers preferred and loved Chloe more.

The three of them shared a relationship that Lionel Dell was jealous. Lionel commented that the relationship they shared was freaky and disgusting. Lionel had despised them.

He could totally understand why Ernie committed suicide to protect Natalie but he was on fast track downward spiral when Ernie died.

He abandoned his job as mechanical engineer and was hooked on heroin.

He had nothing left now.

Natalie had taken the coward way out, hanging herself to death a few weeks ago.

She wrote him a letter that she could not handle the bleach anymore. Every time she worked with bleach, it triggered memories she badly wanted to forget. It was torturing. It was all Gil Grissom's fault for Ernie's death. It was all the CSI's fault. She was going to find Ernie now. She told him to revenge for Ernie and her.

He was going to revenge for Ernie and Natalie today. Today was the day he was taken under Ernie's care.

He chose his next target - a little girl was shivering in her mother's embrace.

Pulling the little girl out her mother's embrace, ignoring the mother's screams and the little girl's struggle, he jammed the barrel of the gun on the little girl's head.

The little girl's mother lurched at him but he was faster as he aimed his gun at the mother's kneecap and put a bullet through it, shattering the kneecap. The mother dropped to the floor and cried out in pain.

No one dared to go forward to help, afraid of incurring the wrath of the mad man.

He turned to the security camera and spoke.

"I want all of graveyard shift CSI here within 30 minutes. If not, this little girl would say bye to this world."
