The Dream Team and the Battle For Salvation
Disclaimers: I own nothing of the Nightmare on Elm Street series or the characters, they belong to Wes Craven and New Line Cinema. The story belongs to me everything else belong to the director and the movie company.
Warnings: With this chapter Donald's doing his interrogation of the duo while the quartet are listening to the conversation, but this and the next nine chapters focus on the aftermath, before it switches back to her nightmare/premonition.
Secondly, I know the dating is a little off here, but this is being set up to where the young gang are around when Krueger was charged and possessed, rather than they not knowing everything, the trio's memories had faded, while Nancy's had been blocked as she grew up and forgot who live in the house.
As they deal with making sure nothing happens and things start getting more tense from here, as they start to realize there's more to Kristen's agitation than meets the surface as it becomes more clear to the rest of their gang, as the first indication hits that night, and now on with the show...
Chapter 26: The Reunion and the Interrogations
As she got ready to answer him, I knew this was going piss him off as he heard it, though thankfully he was out of the woods and wasn't endanger of a heart attack now as she explained things to him, I heard Kristen think to me then. 'Get ready this is a piece of the reconciliation they both need, so let them talk it over, before we continue on with this.' she said and I nodded as I looked at the nine members, in the know, and quickly mouthed. 'Don't say anything, they both need this right now.' I said and they nodded.
"You said she had a dream this was going to happen, that wasn't just an excuse to protect him was it?" Donald asked and she explained that to him then. "No dad it wasn't, every bit of it was true, what I meant by it not being serious was they'd been having bickering matches like that for months, but we were used to it and found it funny, he may have gotten in trouble with you, but murder and rape isn't something he'd ever do."
"In fact, he said that if he'd moved quicker he could have saved her, before she got slashed, but he was frozen in fear at seeing this, from there it turned as paranormal as you can get, but here's the catch, when we were talking that night, she said his face wasn't something she could forget, because she'd had that fear with her all day, like she was looking at the face of a paranormal rapist and murderer."
"She also told me that the dream felt like some sort of message was coming on, because I'd also been dreaming about him, as were the duo, but the murder was like some disaster right after some sort premonition, in fact it was the calm, before the storm that night, it was the eve, before he was possessed, so with that in mind, he decided this was a message, before he started with her first and waited for her to break the rules."
"This dream was a premonition of what was coming, in fact her nightmare the night before was the calm before the storm, whatever he was trying to tell us was that he was now ready to come after us at that point, but I wasn't sure what the message was till Kristen laid it on the table for me yesterday in session and I realized that the day she was killed was the day he got possessed by that trio of demons eleven years ago."
"Then as far as Tina and Rod were concerned he was actually making jokes about a group get together that night, with Aunt Sarah out of town she wanted me to spend the night to keep her company and the guys got involved, because we were making plans to hang out and they were exchanging insults, before we separated, but this was part of the relationship and Glen and I were used to it, it didn't bother us, because it was normal for their relationship, she loved him, but he'd never hurt her like that and I knew that, because when she and I were together, he came along to protect us, if Glen had a practice to go to that he had to deal with at the time."
"And secondly, he may have gotten into trouble with you, but he'd never cross the line here, the reason I came to see you was because I saw what the bastard was about to do to him, because I ran my own ro-test that night doing a check to see why he'd come after us and I saw him get a hold of the sheets, before he came after me, as for the agitation I was showing, I was in a rush, because I barely missed getting the bastard's razors to my heart before I arrived at the department and secondly, because if we'd woken him up, before the bastard did that we'd still be a trio at the time." she said and I heard his tone change at that.
"Garcia interfered long enough for him kill him, alright that's two, how did you get a hold of that hat exactly, your mother said you pulled it off his head, in our talk the following morning, from her tone I take it this caused the drinking to get worse that week, she wanted to forget what we'd done, but I was determined to have him charged though he's dead already?" he asked and she explained that to him gently as she answered him.
"An issue of being a dream expert in fieldwork in there was by learning everything needed, I also decided on being the test patient for the dream suppressant Neil prescribed the seven on Wednesday, and I was learning how to control it in learning how to use my ability for real then when Jenkins offered me that internship here in the hospital I took the job, not knowing the kids were here already and Kristen and I met up in the exam room that morning."
"To put it gently everything in there is real, but our dream selves happened to be our brains, the two main organs at risk when we go into the dream world are our minds and our hearts here, anything that happens in there shows up for real on the body, your mind takes a jolt and when you wake up you see it on the body for real, a blow taken to the heart kills automatically."
"But other injuries, like the one that killed Tina takes five more minutes for the body to give out, because the brain continues functioning, though the body is dying the brain is active for five more minutes, the next scene resulted in a serious poltergeist intrusion and then she died. In my case if Mrs. Anderson mentioned that dream I had it's because I wound up seeing him face to face, and fire and super hot metal is the only way to get your body to take control back."
"I pressed my arm to one of the pipes in his boiler room in that nightmare, which explains the burn mark you saw on my forearm when I came in that night, the razor lacerations were thanks to fighting it out, before mom woke me up and I grabbed the hat and pulled it out with me, but I wasn't expecting that to be the first clue there was more to these nightmares than we thought."
"As for that one, the dream world offers ways to pull things in and out, to put it gently for someone who's able to bring things in, they call out what or who they need and the object or person appears, but for others they can do it reverse and that's how you wound up seeing him the night mom was killed, because I was running a sting operation so you could arrest him, I yanked him out of his world and into ours that night at the time."
"As that's one portion of it and secondly and in truth here, my dream ability is I can pull things and people out of that realm, which explains the hat, I wasn't kidding when I said I yanked it off his head, I wanted you to run a forensic check on it, so I was sure, he's who you guys took down, and if you kept the fact that she'd had his sperm in her, even though he was dead by that point that was it." she said and he sighed in annoyed aggravation at that as he answered her, his tone shifting to annoyance at Krueger then.
"I don't know how many times we need to kill him here, because this is getting ridiculous, it's turning into a sadistic running gag now and frankly I've had enough of this bastard, alright let me think this over so I know why I'm the cop who has to keep dealing with him, because if he marked you I'm now the cop meant to start protecting you and your brothers and sisters and with that in mind it's fate now."
"But we burned down the boiler room, but he gets possessed tha night, thanks to Richard's choices and probably the blasted flame cocktail, he attacks six years later and you set him on fire a second time and he comes back a second time and Lisa does it a third time last year, before Neil and I bury him last night and that's four attempts in thirteen years, alright now I'd consider this overkill at this rate, if he keeps choosing to come back, and I'm beginning to feel like I'm dealing with a killer or a drug dealer who doesn't know when to quit after winding up in jail one too many times here."
"Four supposed deaths in eleven years and he keeps coming back, alright this is getting out of hand and I'm getting sick of this bastard right now, alright so that explains the brushfire running through their freshman class right now, but with the fact we ended it, everybody's going to be able to sleep finally, but we better get ready in case it starts for a fifth time here, because it's triggering a specific pattern and we need to be ready."
"He's choosing the day we took him down to keep coming back, or when things are at their most normal, but this is going too far here, so he targeted you, thanks to Richard's idiocy, and if we'd gone with my plan seventy percent of the gang would still be alive along with a third of your siblings graduating class in the last ten months, alright next question on that is what the heck was with the bars on the windows when I arrived at the house that night?" he asked and she explained that.
"What was mom's reaction when you told her this, both in his case and Rodriguez?" Kristen asked interjecting into the conversation then as she got involved then and Walter answered that one. "She repeated whatever you said about these guys and completely agrees with your opinion on it too." he said and she nodded with a slight smile at that as she answered him then.
"Well to repeat that remark I made yesterday here on that, being arrested three times or burned and buried three times is considered overkill, if this is what you and mom have to deal with at work Uncle Donald, I don't blame you for getting aggravated at work at this point, because I'm getting sick of dealing with these guys right now when they don't know when to quit here, and I'm ready to go full out if he comes back for a fifth here." she said and I heard a laugh come over the radio at that as the rest of the room started laughing as I heard the smile in his tone as he answered her.
"I figured you were going to agree with us on that, but the next time it starts we're not losing another child, because that dream suppressant he gave you is going to every kid in town here to protect the entire city." he said with a smile in his tone and she smiled slightly, before she answered him then. "Guys I got a bit of information you're going to being finding more than slightly disturbing here, because our family was ground zero, we're the ones getting the sickest punchlines here where the murders are concerned, while the pool party caused a brushfire through our class." Kristen said to him and Nancy and Donald answered her.
"What you learn exactly if you need to tell me baby?" he asked and she sighed. "The murders had a specific key here, a punchline to you and their parents, Nancy what was it you wanted to be when you grew up exactly?" she asked and I heard Nancy's tone shift in shock as she got it. "I chose between two different careers here, being a homicide detective or being a psychiatrist, I was actually taking the nightmares more seriously than Glen was at the time, why?" she asked and Donald answered that one as his tone turned firm and dangerous then and I knew he was pissed as he answered that.
"He's targeting you kids, our gang, by your specific career choices when you were kids honey, you were just as determined as I was to figure it out, but you've become a psychiatrist and adapted my teachings to that honey, everything I taught you was in the face off the night your mother was killed, and then you decide to honor his memory, by doing his job for him, and start working here."
"You decided on remembering Glen in the only way you could think of and that's adapting both lessons of what I taught you and everything Glen taught you and became a psychiatrist with a specialty in dream therapy, said therapy resulting in you becoming a fighter in the dream world, and you were protecting your brothers and sisters that way and then finished my job for me by bringing me in to deal with Rodriguez, alright that sums you up in this case, your quartet."
"Rod, though he got in trouble with us, was interested in becoming a cop, he was pissed that the bastard attacked Natalie and wanted to be a narcotics agent, your sister was planning on going into medical school and becoming a cardio vascular surgeon and Glen was planning on being a dream therapist, whatever lesson and tip he gave you was the last piece of it, before Krueger murdered him, which explains the mess in the bedroom , we got to tell this to my team, so we can deal with it, if the trial goes into it we're telling this to the entire town and ending the nightmares forever, if he starts stirring up again in whatever time frame we got here." he said.
"To answer your question, she thought we had a copy cat running around, when I pulled that hat out the night before, she said it was added security, and changed the locks, but the only problem was it turned into a serious problem, interference is fatal for the younger members of the block, getting sedated, disconnecting the phone lines, locking the doors, it will kill us, because we're cut off from each other, so Uncle Peter murdered Glen by doing that, because I couldn't wake him up." she said and then sighed as she explained it to him.
"Dad, for us, sleep is dangerous, we fall asleep and we're endanger, in physical danger, of a mass murderer, that's why I decided on sleep deprivation after Tina died, I fell asleep three or four times and I'm nearly killed each time, so I decided not to sleep, Rod died, because he fell asleep, and the delay was enough the bastard pulled him into the position you found him in when we got in there. After I left I decided on studying everything I could, I even looked into the dream lore and then decided, when they created that dream suppressant, I would be their first test subject on it and it worked perfectly, before I decided to get the kids on it." she said and I knew he wasn't expecting that as he answered her then.
"So by the delay it gave Krueger enough time to kill him, I was trying to figure out how you wound up in the middle of it and it's because he marked you and your brother as well in addition to Glen and your sister, alright keep going, what else did you learn here?" he asked her and she went further. "That Dream specialist had it wrong, dream deprivation doesn't cause the victim to lose their minds, I've been on that drug since I started my career choice, it's perfectly safe here, but that's part of the problem."
"To us dreaming is dangerous, it's not a symptom of our problems, but the cause, everything physically wrong with the victims that were killed, it's because of him, so they went to extremes to stay awake, if the FDA would just prescribe the blasted pills as safe, every victim would still be alive right now and he'd have no fuel at all." she said and I knew he nodded. "Fuel, what do you mean baby?" he asked and Kristen swallowed as she answered that question then.
"He takes in the souls of every kid he killed, in total he's got seventy seven, seven of which are the young gang and the other seventy are the thirteen from the pool party, Grady and the five six from the last ten months, but if he takes the entire town, that's enough for him to switch towns and infect the entire state, to neutralize it, only a skilled dream master would know how to free them, but I don't know anything about nightmares, just what Nancy taught me so far, so hopefully one of my future quartet knows, because only they'd be able to crack it in how to do it here."
"So when I start school hopefully whoever my future best friend is, they'll the prophecied dream master, but we need to block him out from every kid in town to do that and keep him weak for as long as possible." she said and I knew he nodded to that I exchanged looks with my friends at that information. "You guys see this last night?" he asked her and she nodded with a look that said she was more than traumatized by seeing that.
"If you've seen that painting with the condemned faces on it, that's what it looked like, I didn't see the seven, but it was enough to make me want throw up when I saw it, but by not giving us that medication the criminal trio just condemned the quartet's souls to a fate worse then death here, till whoever my future best friend gets involved and helps me deal with it, because the bastard has turned into a denizen of hell now." she said and I knew he nodded as he turned his attention to the duo with a furious tone at that.
"The bastard has the souls of your brothers and sisters as well as seventy more kids, whoever your future gang members are better have total knowledge of dream lore and everything that comes with it so we can free them. Carver you wait till their parents hear this, you and Simms just condemned my kids' souls to a hell that no human being should ever have to live with and all because of your psychosis." he growled angrily and Kristen answered that. "It gets better Uncle Donald, to get to every kid in town, he has to go through us first, my power is the one that gives him the key to do that."
"As to how, if I'm the last taken and I brought in that person, the ability turns her into a fisherman's net, if she falls asleep at the same time his supposed victim does Krueger will kill them at the same time and she's left with the knowledge and guilt she's unwillingly responsible for that victim's death. By neutralizing the dose and getting her into the E.R. we just dodged the bullet in that, Dr. Gordon has total control now here in the ward, but after what my nightmare was on Sunday this just gave another reason to block them out indefinitely." she said and I nodded to that as Nancy quickly changed it.
Before she could though, Kincaid looked at Jenkins then. "Out of curiosity, how do you know who we are if you took on our medical care since we were admitted Doctor?" Kincaid asked Jenkins and he smiled, "The last time we saw each other was when you were four years old son, your parents have been friends of ours for years, which explains the reason your aunt had us deal with your medical care." he said and they all nodded with smiles as Kristen turned her attention back to it as Donald explained it to him then.
"They've been working with your aunt for seventeen years Roland, and we've been friends since we were twenty, which made it easier when you were being taken care of, but the person who is supposed to be responsible for any decisions in your welfare here is Neil and Simms and Carver are in big trouble for breaking that law as well." Donald said and Kincaid nodded and smiled, as this just confirmed everything Kristen told us that morning as she shifted the conversation and looked at Carver then.
"Alright to get back on topic here, and to repeat what I said before to you, Carver, I come from a long line of people that went into government and law, on my mothers side, and my grandfather is the previous judge before Harrison, and with the fact you just wiped out half of my gang and could have killed the seven of us this week, I'm calling that now and getting an investigation going, so watch the attitude, because you could have killed me last night, and not just me, but what was left of my gang, our big sister, our uncle, and Dr. Gordon, and Derek's parents are going to want to sue you for not getting him that medication sooner." she said with a growl to her and Donald turned it to Simms, and I could tell he was pissed at her tone towards Kristen as he added on to it.
"Don't you dare talk to her like that, and for the record she can, the judge in question that is her grandfather happens to be Judge Anderson, and what she said about me is correct, I'm the second in command of the department here, and with that fact you almost killed me last night, you just gained the wrath of not only my gang, but my team and two friends of the family as well." he said and she looked confused at that statement.
"Who exactly?" she asked and Adams answered that question with an icy look on her face. "Me and Daniel, did you stop to wonder why Erin Stanton decided that we should be the ones to deal with the kids medical care, let alone the fact that you ticked us both off for nearly killing a friend of ours, his daughter, god-daughter, and nephews and why we're beyond pissed that four of our patients are dead because of this." she said to her with an icy tone and Simms shook her head as Max shifted his gaze to Jenkins.
"How much blood in total here did she lose?" Max asked and he went into that with a furious look on his face. "Including her cycle and her wrist, she lost close to five liters, the iron tablets aren't enough we have to do a blood transfusion to take care of this. Eric those protocols are deactivated indefinitely here, you try to enact them at all during the next few months in the case of the kids I'm having you arrested for medical interference and those doors are being left unlocked and in her case opened, because I want someone on watch tonight to keep an eye on her especially with the emotional nightmares about to start here, is that clear?!" he snapped at them and they both nodded as I turned my attention to my patient and adoptive daughter as I ran my hand through her hair gently and she leaned her head against my arm as I did it.
"Next to Dr. Gordon and Max, who is in charge when it comes to us?" Joey asked and Jenkins answered as he looked at him. "Dr. Adams and I take your health seriously, and at the moment this just landed them on the fast track to winding up in jail when your parents hear this. Son, who had more concern for your sisters physical recovery here out of the psychiatric department in the teenage ward?" he asked and he went into that, before he could though Kristen interjected that.
"Doctor, you and Dr. Adams are not party to what happened to our gang or me this week, the only ones responsible for that are Simms and Carver and once my mother and Uncle Donald hear your side of it they're going to let you off the hook, and so will the judge and the jury, so don't worry, the hospital is not going to get a law suit, they will." she said and he nodded with a smile as Joey answered his question with a smile as he looked at her.
'How are you going to handle that Kris?' he asked and she went into that. 'The evidence is going to be the final nail in the coffin and I'm going to into every single detail of what went on here after we were back together and I'm going to make sure they, Dr. Gordon and Nancy remain in control here, and then get Simms and Carver out of the hospital permanently.' she said and he gave a mental nod to that as I held in a laugh at that, knowing she wasn't kidding when they heard this.
"Dr. Gordon and Nancy, Max was just as concerned and they were determined to make sure she recovered without trouble, but Simms has been under the delusion that our sister was halfway or fully recovered, and we all knew she wasn't. Apparently she told the same to Dr. Carver here because he ignored this fact as well and went ahead with breaking orders, revoking our medication and then fired him and Nancy and it finally triggered it, because by that point our sister's energy and strength was back to where she started when she arrived and the relapse finally cut it in half and she was too weak to get us out last night." he said and Jenkins nodded. "How much time does he spend in the ward anyway?" Kincaid asked and Max answered that one as he looked at the boys gently though I knew he was furious.
"He spends twenty percent of his time down here, and spends most of that talking to her, so he doesn't pay attention to what our patients are doing and he wasn't around the ward at all this week to see things for himself and that is going to be a nail in his coffin when your fathers and her mother hear what happened here." he said and the boys nodded. "So in other words he was listening to her way too much on her opinions of us and her thoughts that Kris was either halfway or mostly recovered without checking it out for himself and didn't bother to ask the reason for why Dr. Gordon decided on prescribing it for us." Joey said and we both nodded in answer to that.
"Hold up, you've got a convicted criminal working here, the bastard is selling the stolen narcotics and they.., alright that just screwed your chances for life Carver, I know what this is, he gave you the old carrot on a stick deal and you gave him access to everything, as if that is not enough, he's getting you in on the profits of what he's selling, dirty dealings, in all areas, there is no getting out of it now, you're going to jail for life." Kristen said to them and then grabbed a data pad and started writing everything down.
"Donald what dirty dealings is she talking about?" Walter asked and he quickly answered that. "He's a drug dealer, a money launderer, and is working for a loan shark downtown, on the side, which explains where your missing medication bottles are going, if he thought my god-daughter would never figure that one out and that you and Simms had a hand in it, Carver, you're out of your minds, because she's just as good as her mother is at figuring out the missed information."
"And with that, honey, what is the amount of charges we're looking at here?" he asked and she answered firmly. "$3,000,000 in stolen narcotics, $2,000,000 in stolen equipment, 140 charges in attempted cradle rape, sixty in child abuse, accessories in cradle rape also on 140 counts and a couple dozen more items that will come up in the trial if the bastard's grave get neutralized at that point we pull the plug, so far I'm looking $140,000,000 here in charges, and it keeps up and you're not seeing the light of day ever again, so like I said you got one chance here, so watch it." she said and I could tell he nodded to that as Jeff looked at her.
"Well our parents are not going to take it well when they hear this information, so Simms has been influencing Carver way too much here and they've both grown way too arrogant to run things down here, and that just got called out as well. Dr. Adams, she's lost her mind completely because she's had it stuck in her head that Kris is either halfway or fully recovered here, and she's not and we could all see it as well, but she's been ignoring that for the last three days, and then explodes last night."
"While the stunt in the session Wednesday could have caused her to relapse then, if Nancy and I hadn't managed to calm her down and it took two distractions before Dr. Gordon, Nancy and I could take care of it, and Jeff was helping Nancy and me with the second near panic attack acting like an older brother as he did it, either that memory came back or she knows he's like the duo, but she responded to him to." Joey said and she nodded with a furious look on her face at that.
"Your parents are not the only ones, Daniel, Erin and I took it seriously when it came to the kids medical care and their fathers and I would have done a lot of damage to the person responsible for this." Donald said and Jenkins nodded. "I know that you and Elliot are cops, did all if you take combat training?" he asked and I knew that was going to be the answer in a minute.
"Yeah, Damian is a retired army ranger, and the rest of us all took martial arts in school when we were their age and both together, in the case of me and Elliot, make a very lethal combination, Carver if this keeps up your pet parasite going to be getting a serious working over when my friends get their hands on him, but you keep it up and you're the one getting a working over, so you got one chance or you're spending the rest of your lives behind bars, either here or in jail."he snapped and Carver nodded quickly as Jenkins looked at me to ask the next one and I knew he wasn't going to like it when he heard it.
"How much arrogance is going on in this ward here, because that's not being ignored here Neil?" Jenkins asked and I went into that. "She's been making decision after decision to keep the group in the ward and they've been trapped for the last six months, before Kristen and Nancy's arrival and it was then I got the truth of what the hell was going on around here, because like I told you last night, she's been giving them 20cc's of Diazepam and that is way too dangerous here, and the amount could have killed the entire group last night when you saw the razor marks on her, Nancy and Will and I'm not letting this go on here." I said and he nodded with a furious look as he looked at Simms who had a nervous, but arrogant look on her face at that.
"Is there a reason for why you have dosing them with that much sedative and Eric why have you been letting her do that?" he growled and she explained that while trying to keep from cracking in front of me, Max and the kids. "They've been losing their tempers constantly and I've been trying to keep the fights from turning physical." she said and Eric went into his reason. "I got a report that said the kids were coming close to getting into fights and the need of a raised dose was required here for it." he said and I felt my fury rising at that. "Max how much have they been giving the kids if they're is danger of over dose?" Donald asked and he answered that. "She's been giving them 20cc's of Diazapem and it's been going on for close to three months." he said and I could tell he was in a shocked disbelief at that as he answered and I could tell he was furious at that.
"Is it all at once or at the five hour intervals like it's supposed to be?" he asked and Walter answered that. "It's all at once Donald, after each time, after being put in isolation, we've been finding constant injuries on the kids and this is the reason for last nights panic attack and the seizure, because she was at fifty when they pulled this stunt and it cut it in half." he said and I could tell Donald was furious as he turned it to them.
"Are you people out of your minds, that much could kill them, honey is this the reason for the repeated panic attacks?" Donald asked and she went into that. "Yes, if you get killed in there, it happens for real, which explains Tina, Glen and Rod, sedatives shut down our only defense and that is getting out by waking up, but at the rate she was doing it-it could have put Kin into a coma or worse before I arrived, there've been constants threats as well of the use of sedatives in the case of the entire gang." she said and I could tell he nodded. "What else honey?" Donald asked her gently and she went into the first phase of it explaining it to him, before she could answer Carver snapped at him. "You don't have authorization for that information." he said and I looked at him.
"Guess again, I'm a homicide cop meaning a homicide detective, you killed the children of my best friends and I will get to the bottom of this, keep your mouth shut, Max call Paul Willis and Derek Garcia here, they're members of my team and happen to be the ones who arrested your current resident felon on the property, being arrested again by them and Bill Kopecky and he knows he's a dead man when my father heard this." Donald said and he nodded. "Uncle Donald I have a vague memory of meeting them once, when was that?" she asked and he sighed, and I knew this was the blocked memory she told me about.
"The last time you saw them and me was five years ago after your father was arrested for a drunken outburst, at the restaurant he took you to, I was the one who was with your mother when she took you to Erin." he said and I saw her eyes widen in recognition at whatever memory it was as she burrowed into my arms at that, as I then heard her think, and knowing the memory scared her enough to block it out completely.
'That night, he was the cop who took me home, God I don't want to remember that, he's not getting near me any more when he's like that, if he does come back I'm protected now finally. I nearly called my godfather uncle in the car, I should have known he was my godfather when he pulled me into his arms, because that hug was way too familiar to me at the time. If I find out who separated me from him, they're in big trouble, I've got my godfather back now, and he's not tearing them out of my life twice.' I heard her think and knew whatever he did had scared the daylights out of her and she felt safest when the rest of the paternal gang, including me, was close by now, and felt her burrow deeper into my chest as whatever memory it was made her burrow deeper, 'Shh, it's okay, you're safe honey just relax.' I thought to her gently for a minute.
I exchanged looks with Max, Adams and Jenkins at that reaction and gestured to take the radio and motioned to take it into the hall. "Don't worry honey that's not happening twice, you better wait here, Walter, Eric, watch those idiots and Jeff you're on guard duty with the kids." I said and they both nodded and she let go of me with a sigh as the four of of us headed into the hall. "Whatever he did scared her enough if she had that reaction, we better find out what it is, because I just heard her thoughts on it." I said and they nodded as we took it in the hall.
After turning down the volume, I asked about that. "Donald what happened at the time if you were called in, because whatever it is, caused the memory to come forward, and she practically climbed into my arms at it?" I asked and he went into it. "Did Erin mention Rick's physical condition to you when she came up here Daniel, Jane?" he asked and they both nodded as Adams answered that, with a beyond furious look at this.
"Yeah she did, she also said she was ready to have him committed for that and said that it was beginning to do a lot of damage to his liver why?" she asked and I could tell what I was about to hear I wouldn't like at all. "He's been drinking since we were their age, and I know you've dealt with a lot of patients suffering from alcohol poisoning, but that's where this gets serious."
"When he takes in more than one glass of alcohol he gets extremely violent, and the guys and I had to restrain him when that happened before dragging him in for a detox, the day he took her out for a father/daughter outing he took in close to six and got into a fight with another patron at a restaurant, she tried to stop him and he hit her hard enough to throw her into the wall before several waiters and patrons got a hold of him and forced him to the floor."
"After the manager got her to tell him who to call I got phoned and my team got called in, while they were dealing with him, I took care of her and took her home, she was so shaken up she didn't want to let go of me at the time then, secondary reaction, just like at the trial, she didn't want to leave me a second time, because I think she sensed who I was when I picked her up, because she did the same with me and wouldn't let go of me when her mother and I took her to Erin that night." Donald said and I felt my anger rising at that as Jenkins said it for me.
"How many times have you and the guys taken him to the hospital for this Donald, Erin said you guys arrested him thirty five times?" he asked from his tone I could tell it had been repeatedly. "It's happened seven times right after we moved on to the block and ten more during family get-togethers." he said and I felt my concern rising at that. "Were the kids anywhere near him when this happened?" Adams asked and he quickly answered that. "No, whenever he started drinking we made sure that the kids weren't around him in case of an outburst and if he started getting erratic, Jared, Derek, Elliot and I dragged him in, because we've had to restrain him more than once when it happened and it took all four of us to get him under control too."
"During the course of this, we had to make sure that the girls and the kids were no where near him, Erin had to sedate him more than once to deal with him, and he hasn't stopped, even though Erin told him repeatedly to do it." he said and they nodded as Jenkins asked the next one. "Was he taking anything else on top of that, because she thought he was speedballing and Roland found the pills Rodriguez was selling to these people, and they match the signature of the drug I found in his bloodstream?" he asked and I got the answer to that a minute later.
"No he knew that if he tried we would have arrested him for being that stoned around the kids, since Elliot and I don't take that lightly and have had to deal with several junkies, and we weren't taking chances, but I'm not sure why he left that abruptly three years ago, but he knows if he gets caught if he comes back that loaded, we're bringing him to you for the hospitalization."
"I'm not entirely sure though, but we think he's become dependent on it, and possibly addicted to the content of ethanol in it over the last thirty years." he said and they exchanged looks. "Thirty years, he's been drinking for thirty years, Jesus, alright with that in mind in here. With that much time exposed to that blasted drug, if he had to go into forced withdrawal and recovery if he's on drugs on top of it or the products that our felon is selling or anything like it, it could take close to fifteen years to twenty years before he's completely clean." Jenkins said and I could tell he nodded as he answered him. "I know, and Erin came close to doing it for real when that happened, and we've tried for years to get him to quit, but he still won't."
"What was Simms holding over your head son though, if it took my daughter to do threat to get it here, let alone you had to get me involved here?" he asked and Jenkins nodded in agreement to his question and I explained it to them. "A threat that if something went wrong, she was putting the blame on us, as Roland said they were keeping the kids here illegally, with you and their parents knowing what is going on, I'm ending the corruption here, because this has her close to going into emotional shutdown right now."
"Their bond kicked in right after her arrival, and someone is causing more than one problem here, I've spent eight years working with the kids of each group here, and up until nine months ago the situation is getting out of control, and been getting every month, but the situation is going in circles. He listens to Simms more than he does me, and is keeping them here illegally they should have been released three months, and rather than doing what should have done, and that is to get them on the dream suppressant, he is with-holding it to keep them here." I said and I could tell he was furious at that as he answered.
"And from what she said, those cameras also taped the murders from an outsiders point of view, considering he's able to turn into poltergeist, they'll show what happened this week." I said and I knew he nodded. "What do you mean outsiders?" Adams asked and Donald answered that."What he means is someone who never saw it for themselves and never did studies into a psychopath turned poltergeist, but I think she's trying to deal with the sudden blows right now, by turning to me since she hasn't seen me in years, but she's needing to hear my voice to help deal with it, because Nancy was in the same emotional condition she was in after Tina had been killed and after Rod was killed her anger started getting worse, before we told her the truth." he said and Max and I exchanged looks at that information. "How long did it take before she got it out of her?" Adams asked and he sighed as he answered her.
"It took nearly three weeks, if it's the same here there are going to be a lot of problems here, and the amount of pain she was in at the time nearly caused her to try it, and I had to hospitalize her for therapy for a year." he said and I nodded, feeling my concern growing with that information. "Alright, we're going to be keeping an eye on this, the nurse on duty at the front desk didn't see him leave the hall, but the cameras may have caught it." I said and he answered that, and I could tell he was thinking over what I told him then." Did they show what killed Philip?" he asked and I sighed as I answered him.
"I didn't see what the cameras showed, but the kids were shaken up the following morning, and she was beyond exhausted, because they were up all night." I told him and I knew he nodded to that as Max answered me. "I found blood on the floor in the hall, but the lacerations didn't show up till he was gone." Max added and he answered that. "Did they see what else happened, because Nancy had been traumatized after seeing the condition Tina wound up in and Rod had been shaken up and it took several hours before he finally calmed down. If Philip had wound up in the same condition I can take a guess that's the reason that the kids nearly panicked during that session." he said and I nodded as I decided to end this portion of it before someone started a pillow fight in there and we got hit a second time.
"You better tell me the rest of this in the morning, but we better get this back in there before someone starts something here." I told him, just as I finished saying that I heard several blows come out of the room, before a pillow went flying and then heard Jeff call out. "Alright guys enough already." he said and Donald quickly responded to that. "What's going on in there?" he asked and I quickly answered that. "They got into another pillow fight here, we need to get back in there before one of them throws a pillow out the door next." I said and Adams looked at me at that statement. "What happened on Tuesday you looked like you were ready to let one of them have it when Daniel came to check on things down here from what he told me when he came back upstairs?" she asked and Max answered that as he tried to keep from laughing.
"The kids got into a few pillow and water fights and we got hit several times, because the projectiles kept getting thrown out the door and she was the culprit this time and we both let her have it that night." he said and she nodded as she started laughing at that as a pillow went flying out the door and we shifted out of the way to keep from getting hit as we went back in there. "Alright who threw that guys?" I asked and they pointed at each other. "He did" "She did" they said together, and I decided to drop it as Jenkins asked the next question as he tried to keep from laughing. "Are you asking for it a second time young lady?" Jenkins asked and she shook her head. "That wasn't me this time Doctor." she said and he nodded with a slight smile
