Chapter 10:Body
I have to change a couple things and thank a couple people so hold on...
1. Thank you to 2 of the best friends I've ever had, Eryckah and Alex. They helped me plot the ending of this when I was stuck, you guyz are angels especially you Eryckah.
2. When Norton tosses the gun to Simon, he, meaning Simon accidentally pulls the trigger before he drops it. Therefore making the results of the GSR? test (I think that's what it's called at least that's what I think they said on the X-files. The test that tells if you've shot a gun recently) show he shot a gun.
3. In Chapter 9 Deena is not going to be wearing a dress she is wearing extremely tight overalls with gloves because it's cold out.
4. Also in Chapter 9 I have to cut out the whole section with Robbie and Ruthie turning around. They can't for the rest of the story to work.
Now that I've taken care of that I can write the rest of the story.
Deena freed one of her arms as James was struggling to pull her overalls down without unbuttoning them. She felt under the bed for something, anything to help her. Maybe a baseball bat or something that was sharp. Her hand passed over a cool metal object. Her heart raced as she traced it with her fingers, it was a gun! James hadn't made any progress with her clothes and began trying to unbutton them. Deena picked up the gun and calmly as if rehearsed she shot him in the side. James expression turned to one of shock but he didn't have time to scream, death was instant. The bullet had gone straight through to his heart. She pushed him off of her and ran out of the room. Sheets she thought, I have to change the sheets. I have to clean up the mess and dump the body. Where do they keep the bed sheets? Deena spotted a closet between a bathroom and the bedrooms. She threw open the doors and as she thought it was a linen closet. She grabbed a set of sheets that matched the ones on James's bed and making sure she hadn't upset anything she ran back to the room. He was heavy but she managed to wrap him in the old sheets and push the cocoon off the bed with the bloody side facing up. She changed to the new sheets they were the same as the old ones, a dark denim like fabric that had made his blood look like simple water stains. She looked around the room. Should she take anything or would that leave evidence? Probably not, she was wearing gloves. The table next to his bed held a book with writing inside. She found her name and decided to take it; she stuffed it in her pocket along with the tape and his car keys. She then dragged the body out of the room and to the stairs careful not to leave a blood trail. Deena dragged the body that now seemed to be made of lead down the spiral staircase fighting gravity the whole way down. At the bottom she stopped to rest but only for a minute. Someone could be home any minute. James had mentioned his sister, but if she remembered right Kara mostly stayed at her Dad's house. She dragged the body across the floor and out the door that led to the garage. She opened the trunk and after about two minutes of struggling she managed to get him into the trunk. She got in the car located the garage door opener and hit the road.

Deena pulled up to the lake. It was polluted so no one ever came there in summer much less in the present winter. She sat in the car not sure of what exactly to do. She had to dump the body, that's why she'd come but how? She drove the car to the water's edge. She tried to push the car but she wasn't strong enough. So she looked around for something to hold the gas pedal down so the car would drive itself into the lake. Walking along the shore she looked for rocks to put on the pedal. She picked a huge heavy one up and walked back to the car. Deena placed the rock on the gas pedal and watched it sink under the weight. She put the key in the ignition and turned it. The car lunged forward and she got out of the way just in time. The car sped through the lake and sunk into an underwater canyon. Deena turned around and started the walk to the police station.

Deena walked into the station and up to the front desk.
"Can I help you with something Deena?"
"Yeah Carl I need to see the officer who's handling Simon's case."
"He can't tell you any more than you already know."
"That's not why I'm here, I have evidence."
Carl arched his eyebrow questioningly and said, "What do you got?"
"Somebody got the whole thing on tape."
"Who?"
"I don't know, they left it in my locker."
"I'll go get Sgt. Michaels." (ironic isn't how he's always there for the Camdens especially when they're in trouble)
When they came back they all watched, her watching them and then watching the horrible scene unfold. When it was over the two cops were speechless.
"Can we go get him now?"
"Yeah, Michaels said with a smile, he's been here long enough."
Carl grabbed his keys and led them back. Simon looked up at the sound of the keys.
"Deena what's going on?"
"Not much just freeing you."
Carl finished unlocking the cell and Simon jumped up and hugged her.
"How?"
"Someone got the whole thing on tape."
"Who?"
"I don't know, someone put it in my locker."
"Simon do you want me to call your parents" asked Sgt. Michaels.
"Yeah I don't think they'd believe me."
