Chapter 12-Historical Nightmare

The morning broke the next day. Officer John Cena woke up still clinging to the badge of his murdered best friend Randy Orton. He looked over to check that Torrie was still there. He saw he sleeping beautifully and listened as she breathed in and out. He had a sense of relief. Every time from this day forward he would wake up with the fear that Torrie wouldn't be there. That Torrie would be taken from him just like everything else he got close to.

John looked over at the alarm clock and saw that is was only six in the morning. He didn't want to get up yet. He had a thought in his head that if he got up, then Torrie would get up. If they both get up by the end of the day then Torrie might be gone. John just led there as he watched Torrie sleeping. The sound of her breath soothed him, even comforted him a little. He turned his head so he was looking at her closed eyelids.

Torrie started to stir a little so he quickly moved away. As she turned John saw horrible scars all over her right wrist. The scars were deep and looked very painful. John thought to himself "Why have I never seen those before" He then looked over as he saw a wrist band that had come off on the mattress. Torrie started to shake. She muttered in her sleep "Please I'm begging you don't hurt me."

John lightly held Torrie until she stopped shaking. He started to whisper to her "Torrie I don't know what has happened to you in the past, I don't know who has hurt you how they have hurt you and why they have hurt you. I love you Torrie and it is my vow, no my promise to honour you, look after you, keep you safe, protect you from harm, protect you from evil and love you with all my heart, with every bone in my body with every fibre of my soul. I love you Torrie Wilson and I will spend the rest of my life proving it to you." John softly kissed Torries lips.

John slowly got out of bed and started to get washed and dressed. He put Randys badge in his pocket and started to head to the door. As he opened the door he heard a soft voice coming from his bed.

"Stay safe John I love you"

John smiled and replied "I love you Torrie"

John went of to the station. He wasn't going to be doing a lot he just wanted to go to think.

…...

A couple of hours later Torrie woke up. She made the bed and got herself washed and dressed. She sent John a small text saying she would be at the library again. She headed off to do some more of her research.

At the library all the books she was using were still there. Everything was still in order so it made life a lot easier for her.

She started thinking to herself "Right where was I"

Torrie looked back through her notes backtracking what she had researched. The last note jogged her Memory.

"Five murders that was it. Now was anyone caught for that?"

She carried on reading through.

"Glen Jacob was tried and executed for the five murders of December 1870. The five victims were all from the same family. The Calloway family. Luke, Matthew, John, and James were the names of the four boys and Elizabeth Calloway was the name of the daughter. However the father Charles Calloway was not killed."

Torrie continued to take notes whilst reading. As she read she was constantly thinking "Why would Glen Jacob kill all Calloways children but not him."

"Shortly after the execution of Glen Jacob in March 1871 it was revealed that Victoria Jacob the wife of Glen Jacob was with child. Sparking rumours and ideas that she had an affair before Glen Jacob died.

1872 Victoria Jacob got married and her husband Charles Calloway gained control of the town. They also had a daughter Marion Calloway. Charles wanted a son so he banished his daughter and sent her away from the town with a small farming family.

Torrie stopped writing to think again "Hold on so Glen Jacob was found guilty of killing Charles Calloways Children and then two years later Charles Calloway marries the widow of Glen Jacob. Then Charles Calloway sends his daughter away for being a girl. That is horrible. Than god we are not in those sorts of times now."

1890 Charles Calloway and Victoria Calloway-Jacob are murdered and there home and all possessions burnt Down. In the same year seven more people are killed but nobody is found responsible. The son of Glen Jacob, Robert Jacob takes over the town.

1900 Civil war breaks out in the town as another son of Charles Calloway returns and demands to run the town. Huge struggle between the Calloways and the Jacobs.

1904 The war between the two families went on for four years. The Calloways were the more powerful and had more recourses than the Jacobs so they took over the town forcing the Jacobs to go into exile and change there name to…..

Torrie stopped reading as the book was a little faded. She carried on thinking "The whole history of this town is based around those two families. The only mention of either family is the name of Kane's café. That's really strange. Also fourteen murders in the space of nineteen years surrounding the Jacob family. I am starting to notice a pattern here. I just hope this historical journey can lead me to something."

…...

John sat in the police station with his feet up on his desk staring at Randy's desk. Randy never tidied up his paper work. There was always a dirty cup on the corner, an empty pack of doughnuts; Randy was the typical American police officer.

John wiped a solitary tear from his eye as he stared at Randy's desk. He took the police badge out of his pocket. He held it above his face and looked up to the sky.

He started to talk up to the badge held up in the sky "Randy I can't believe you are you gone. It is so hard to look at your desk without a tear coming down my face. Bet you're up there laughing at me I am a right pansy. I will catch who did this to you and I will put them away for a long time. I will avenge your death and honour your life in the process."

John continued to cling on to Randy's badge. Floods of tears fell down his face as he continued talking to the sky.

"Randy you're my best friend. Hell you're my only friend. You're more than a friend you're my brother. You're my brother, my partner my amigo. You're where you were always heading but too soon. I love you my brother and I will meet you again. Until then I know someone who will look after you."

John cried into his table as he opened his top draw and moved a pile of paperwork. John took out another police badge. He held a badge in each hand and prayed up to the sky.

…...

Torrie had been in the library for six hours for the second day in a row. Torrie had written down forty pages of writing and photocopied even more pages.

She carried on Reading through the archives.

1907 "More Market Traders came to the Town. The mayor and leader of the town David Calloway married the daughter of a market trader Marion Sheffield."

Torrie stopped and quickly went back through her notes thinking to herself "Hold on Marion. Surely that isn't the banished daughter. That means she married her brother. That's disgusting."

She was about to start reading again when she stopped suddenly. She started to think again "Sheffield where do I know that name from. Oh my god Skip Sheffield you don't think he is another link to this town. This History stuff is getting complicated."

1912 David and Marion Sheffield had twin children Michael and Louise Calloway.

1935 David Calloway murdered. Found In pieces on the Charles Calloway Statue in the centre of town. Also fifteen other murders committed in the next year. The FBI investigate murders.

1943 Marion Calloway-Sheffield Died in her sleep. Her daughter Louise left the town.

1946 Michael Calloway returns from World war two to find none of his Family are Left in the Town. The statue of his grandfather has been burnt down. Michael Calloway Leaves the town never to be heard from again.

Torrie continued writing notes and thinking. She read all through to the present day newspaper articles.

She started thinking "How could there not be anymore history on the Calloways and Jacobs. They can't have just disappeared."

Torrie was convinced that those two families are connected with the murders in some way. The two names had come up a lot in the history of the town. She kept picturing Kane in her mind and she knew that John has to find Kane. She wanted to do some more research on the two families.

She went on her lap top and registered with one of the Family tree websites. Torrie was so determined to help John. She wanted to help find the evil killer to end the black cloud that has covered the town.

She started to type in the names of the two families. Jacob and Calloway. She typed all the names that she had found out up until 1946. Then she used the website to try and work out if Kane was related in anyway. She got further and further on through the years.

"Right so Michael Calloway had a son James Calloway who in turn had a son in. Now what was the name of the son? Oh here it is Mark Calloway. Right ok so still nothing on the Jacob family. They pretty much have disappeared."

Torrie then stopped in looked at the Family tree of the Calloway family. It read "Murdered, murdered, murdered, died, murdered, murdered, died, died, murdered, murdered.

Torrie then said "Oh my god. Most of the Calloway family have been murdered."

She went back through the family tree and found out that Mark Calloway had two sons. Kanya Calloway and Joey Calloway In the year 1989

"Kanya and Joey are the two unusual names. There's nothing else after those two names. I need to find where they ended up. In fact I need to find out what happened to Mark Calloway."

Torrie looked up Kanya and Joey Calloway on a find a person website. What she saw shocked her and she didn't know what to do about it.

"I don't believe it Kane and Skip Sheffield are brothers. I have to ring John and tell him."

Torrie went to get her mobile out of her bag but the librarian told her phones were not aloud. Torrie decided to look up on Mark Calloway before going to find John.

She found a newspaper article on the internet.

Yesterday murderous killer Mark Calloway was killed in a police shoot out outside a local high school. Calloway had shot three high school teachers before taking the entire school hostage. Calloway murdered fourteen students before police were able to evacuate the remaining teachers and students out of the school. As the police tried to persuade Calloway to give himself up. He headed to the room of the school. Two courageous police officers followed up to the roof. Police sergeant Dave Batista was the first to go up there and confront Calloway. Tragically he was shot of the roof by Calloway who was quickly shot and instantly killed by the other police officer who wishes to stay anonymous.

Torrie started to think "Oh my god Mark Calloway killed seventeen people that is Kane and Skips father."

She collected all her research, Paperwork and things. As she went outside she stopped by the road. She pulled her phone and called John.

….

John was still crying at the two police badges in his hands. As he heard his phone ring he quickly composed himself and answered.

"Officer John Cena speaking"

"Hey John its Torrie"

"Hey Torrie what's up?"

"I have some really interesting leads on the murders that you might want to investigate."

John's voice lifted up a bit wondering what Torrie had found out "What have you found?"

Torrie replied "Well you not going to believe this but Kane and Skip Sheffield are brothers."

John sat up in his chair and put the phone right to his ear. "Are you sure?"

Torrie replied "Yes I am sure I have spent the last two days going through this town's history and family trees. Not only that their Dad is blood thirsty murderer."

John was extremely interested. Maybe this was the leads he needed to catch the killer and avenge Randy's death. He replied "Right come over here and let me see all the work you have done. What is their father's name?"

Torrie replied "A guy by the name of Mark Calloway"

John dropped his phone and went silent. He started to shake and slowly picked up his phone.

"Torrie get to the station as fast as you can." John said in a panicked, nervous and worried voice.

Torrie replied "Why Johns what's going…..Argggggggggggggh" Torrie screamed in a really high pitch voice.

John shouted "TORRIE, TORRIE"

John stopped as he heard heavy breathing come down the phone. A deep dark voice came on the phone and said "John your lady will suffer the most painful and horrible death yet. We will take her organs out one by one and Laugh while she watches her heart beat for the Final Time."

The phone went dead as John shouted "KANE, KANE, KANE answer me"

John now had a race against time to stop the love of his life from being butchered and suffering a death that he couldn't even imagine in his nightmares.

End of Chapter 12

That chapter wasn't the best I don't think. That was quite hard making up the History.

Thank you very much for the reviews. So much appreciated.

The next chapter is the Final and most explosive chapter.

Bye Bye
