Not much happened once Kelly and Kris arrived at the suspect's house. He
was a reasonable unintelligent man that had very limited information that
related to the case. Maybe that was why Kris was able to pay so much
attention to how quiet Kelly was, quieter then she usually was when they
questioned a suspect. In matter of fact, she seemed very tense, and looked
like she was almost starring at the guys hands the entire time. Kris asked
Kelly if she was ok on their way back to the office, but Kelly didn't say
much, just that she wasn't doing anything out of the norm. For the time
being, Kris opted to believe that, but deep down she knew that that wasn't
the truth.
Kelly didn't stay long at the office, mostly because she had to get home before Christopher got worried. Once home, she proceeded to make dinner like she did every night, and tried her best to act like nothing was wrong. She helped Kasey with her homework, and then read her a story before bed. Once in her own bed though, she found herself under Christopher's scrutiny. Some how he had found out that there had been no meeting at Kasey's school, and wanted to know why she had lied to him. She just couldn't get herself to speak the truth though, she didn't want to get into that story, so instead, she created another lie, one that would account for being out for the next couple of days. For some reason, he believed her once again, and on that note they turned the lights off to go to bed.
At 3AM though, Kelly was once again jolted awake, this time screaming. The sheets around her were drenched with sweat, and her body was trembling. Christopher was sitting up besides her, his hands on her shoulders, obviously trying to calm her down. He was worried, he wanted to know what was going on, but she couldn't bare to tell him the truth. Instead, she pretended nothing happened, and went into the kitchen for a glass of water. She remained there for the rest of the night, except this time, it wasn't as easy for her to pull herself together. The images of her nightmares were starting to implant themselves in her mind, making forgetting harder and harder to do.
Things remained pretty much the same for the rest of the week. Kelly continued to have nightly nightmares that seemed to get worse and worse as the nights slipped by, and Kelly was becoming more and more tired. For the most part though, she was able to hide her fears while at work, and she was able to keep Christopher's supisions low. This all changed though on one single night, the night before the day that she feared the most.
