A/N: Hi, folks! Surprise, surprise! There's a chapter tonight! It won't be a very good one, since I'm pushing it for time. Though, since I got done work early, I'm going to make one as best as possible! So, before I run out of time, I shall get started! :D
Chapter 52: A Sister's Life III
Linnie's PoV:
My sister coughs, gasping for breath. It's actually so bad—almost like a smoker's cough—that I'm worried that she's going to die, just by waking up. "Easy now, honey. Easy now," the one man gently tells my sister, but I don't think she can help it.
She's been deceased for the past ten minutes or so. How the hell has she come back to life? Is it some sort of miracle after all the bad stuff that's happened to us? I'm going to take it as so.
"Megan?" I ask, hopeful that my sister can hear me.
"Not now, Linnie. Just let us work on her," the other man calmly tells me, but I'm anxious to talk to my sister again. After all, I thought I lost her. If I did, I don't think I'd be able to go on, anymore…
"Is she OK?" I ask, with fear rising, but I'm trying to keep my hopes up that she's going to be all right.
"She'll be fine. We just have to continue doing what we're doing, OK?"
I sit here, with my fingers intertwined together, almost wanting to hold my breath at whether or not my sister will be OK. After all, after being in the afterlife for so long, there may be some damage to her—physically and mentally. I don't want to know, either, so that's why I'm not going to ask.
I'm sweating, because I also feel desperate to know whether she will be, or not. My sister continues to lay on the gurney. Her eyes are closed, but she's luckily still breathing. I don't know what they're all doing to her, but one of them asks, "Megan, honey, can you open your eyes for me please?" She doesn't seem to comply, which causes me to worry. She just moves her head around a lot. "Megan?" Is that going to be a disability of hers, or is it because she's just waking up from being in the afterlife?
"Linnie… Where's Linnie?…" It doesn't sound like her voice, at all; it almost sounds like a frog's voice.
"She's right here, hon. Now, can you please open your eyes for me? I just want to check them,"
Who knew this all had to be done after they just revived someone? I know they're probably going to have to study whatever was in that cake, so they know for sure what killed her, and how they were able to bring her back.
"I can't…" She squints, as she continues to move her head around.
"Why not?"
"They hurt… My eyes hurt…"
"That's natural, since you just woke up. The brightness of the lights might not help anything in here. I'd turn them off, if I could, but we need them," I continue to sit here, rocking back and forth, anxious at whether my sister is going to be OK, or not.
Though, one of the worst things that could be said right now, is said. Megan spews out, almost talking like a drunken frog, "My eyes… It's not from the light… I can't see anything…" She manages to open them, as if it were painful to do so. "I just can't see…"
The news of my sister being blind after all this, just worries me even more, because this is not what's supposed to happen. Even though my sister is now alive, I can't help but bow my head and start crying at this fact…
Officer Spring's PoV:
I step back into the Interrogation Room, where the man sits, with his head thrown back. It looks like he was sitting (im)patiently, but I honestly wasn't gone for that long. At least he's a criminal, who knows he's going to jail. I just wish he was more cooperative with me, and that I didn't have to pressure him for answers. Though, just like your average criminal, he has cocky, twisted ways.
"So, Mr. Crucierge," I address the man as soon as I walk in the door. I close it behind me, before I continue speaking, "I just called your lawyer, and they just told me that they'll take your case."
He finally flips his head back down again to face me. He looks like he's either very tired or stoned, when he replies to me, "You do realize that he's a 'he', right? He's not a 'they',"
I'm used to criminals having backtalk and sarcasm, so I just apologize, "Sorry. He said that he'll take your case,"
"Oh, really? He knows I'm charged with accessory to abduction? Oh, and abduction, too?"
"And attempted murder. Or murder. It depends on whether the girl survives, or not. Either way, if you poisoned the food, chances are that you were trying to kill more than one child, right?"
"If you say so," He shrugs. I can tell by his attitude, that he's just done with this.
"Well, anyway, he'll be here tomorrow, so we can finish this. In the meantime, you'll be spending the night in a cell. You can't stay here all night,"
"Oh, really? I thought I was a criminal? According to you, I have no rights,"
"Fine," I turn around to leave the room. "If you're that desperate to stay handcuffed to the table, I'm glad to leave you here for tonight. I'm just saying, a cell will be much bigger, and you'll have access to a bathroom, too."
"Yeah," the man now seems to change his mind. "Yeah, I guess that's a good idea. Besides, I was only being sarcastic, anyway. Yeah, give me that cell. At least it'll be someplace comfortable for me to sleep tonight."
"Alright. That's what I thought," Since I can't handle the man myself, I go to get the guard outside the door. That way, if Mr. Crucierge causes any trouble, there's someone stronger and heftier than me, who can handle him. "The guard and I will be back." I then leave the Interrogation Room, so that we can finally put this jerk in a cell for the night…
To be Continued…
…
A/N: Thanks again! :D Are you still surprised by the update? It's actually longer than I expected… Well, I said I'd let you know if there were any changes, and this is letting you know! So… Anyway, what do you think of the chapter? Megan's now revived, but something's going on with her eyes… Is that some sort of effect from being revived? Also, Mr. Hector's lawyer has been called, and they'll continue on with his case the following day. Are you excited to find out what happens next? Well, you won't get it, until Sunday! ;) (It's Kevin's PoV tomorrow!) Also, since I don't have to get up until nine on Sunday, I'm going to update tomorrow (of course). (And it may be better than this one, too!) Anyway, I hope you all take care! And I'll see you tomorrow! :D
PS: Yay! I don't have to work tomorrow! :D Also, I had to work a party tonight, but it wasn't so bad, just like last Friday. At least I got some food out of the deal! ;) Oh, and not only was the owner's dog there, but there was an EXTREMELY adorable puppy there tonight! O.O
