Ch.4


"Blind?" Her mother repeated.


"Yes! I can't see a thing! What happened to me! What will I do without my eyesight!?! I'll
never watch a movie again, or enjoy a nice sunset, or drive a car!" Hearing herself say the
last one didn't upset her too much. She knew she would never want to get into another car again.


"Now calm down sweetie," Her mother said patiently. "I'll go tell the officer to come by some
other time. Get some rest."


Kari stayed in her room crying while her mother told the officer that they wouldn't be able to
help him that day. The officer left. Yolie entered the room Kari was in.


"Hello Kari-Anne." She said.


"Yolie? Is that you?"


"Oh course it's me. You can see my bright purple hair can't you?" She kidded.


"No, I can't."


"What do you mean? You're not blind!" Yolie told her. At that point Kari started crying again.


"Actually, I am!"


"You are? Blind? Are you sure? I'm so sorry!" Yolie went and tried to comfort her friend. Rika entered.


"They're here to question you now, Yolie." Rika told Yolie.


"Thank you. Get better Kari." She left Kari's side and quickly whispered into her friend's ear about what was
going on with Kari. Rika frowned as Yolie left the room.


"So it kind of sucks that we have to stay at this correctional facility, huh?" Rika started.


"What?" Kari asked.


" No one told you? It was because of the…you know, three days ago." Rika started sweating.

Kari was silent.


"You don't remember? Why am I the only one who remembers? Gosh! It was horrible, just horrible! You know,
the man sticking the pins in those poor children's…" She trailed off. Rika shuddered. "I will never look at men
the same way ever again."


Kari wasn't listening anymore. An image popped into her head.



It was three days ago, after they had gone all jumped out of the car, they frantically searched for a pay phone
inside what they thought was a grocery store. They found something else instead.

A big fat man is standing behind a tall and skinny guy. There's a short man in the middle. They are in front of a
woman with a bundle, and a small little girl in her arms. She is scared but determined. It looks as if she had
been beaten on for quite some time now. She is weak and weary. Her hair is long, shiny and black and she
has an unusual red tattoo of a dragon on her forehead. Her eyes are dark purple.


The tall skinny man speaks.
"Hey boss, what are we going to do with her, she won't answer?"


"We'll need to give her a little more persuasion, I suppose. Shorty, Skinny, take her babies away." The big fat
man told the other two. They did as he said with the woman protesting loudly.


"mommy, no! don't let him!" The little girl yelled out.


"Give me back my babies!" She screamed out." Don't worry Lorrie, mommy will take care of everything."


"Not until you give us what we want." Shorty told her. "Right boss?" He said turning to the big fat guy.


He ignored Shorty. "Just tell us where the golden seashell is, and we'll let you go."


"I told you, I don't know where it is!" The woman screamed.


"You don't seem to understand, do you miss? That seashell is really important to my boss and if we don't find it
soon, it'll mean serious consequences for you." Skinny told her in his high pitched voice.


"Why so you can jack off with it." She screamed back. The boss got really mad at that point and seeing as how
all the torture they had put her through left her undainted, they started pinching the baby. The baby started
crying.


"look what there doing to Kenan, mommy!" The girl screamed out. She was tied up in a basket. "stop hurting
my little brother!"



"No!" The woman screamed aloud. "Leave my babies alone!"


"Then I'd advise you not to crack any more smart remarks if you really care for them. Now tell me before I end
doing something much worse to your precious infants."


"All I know is that the seashell is in the U.S., my husband shipped it there by accident five months ago, before
his death."


"Ah, now we're getting somewhere." The boss said. "where did he ship it to?"


"The U.S., that's all I know."


"Where in the U.S., is what the man is asking." Shorty replied.


"I don't know!" She yelled out desperatly. "Please let me go!"


"Is that all you know?" The boss asked her.


"yes."


"Are you sure?" He asked her again.


"Yes!" She replied.


"Then the woman shall be released. Untie her, boys!" The boss told them. "Now get out! Before I regret letting
you live!" The men untie the woman.


"Thank you sir. Now give me my babies." She told them. He looked at her like she was out of her mind.


"Your babies? No, they're mine now." He told her. Skinny started looking at up Lorrie's dress. The little girl
screamed. At that moment she pounced on him.


"You cruel, vicious man!! I'm going to report you to the police right now!" She said giving him a kick and then
attempting to grab her children and escape.


"Wrong move Babe." The boss told her as Shorty took a knife and stabbed her in the stomach with it.
"no one reports us and lives, you got that? No one."


"Hey babe," The boss told her, pulling her up by her hair and making her face the other two as Shorty grabbed
her baby and started poking needles in his little body. Meanwhile, Skinny slipped his tongue over the little
girl panties. The boss threw her on the ground and left, laughing at the poor woman's defenslessness.


"ahh!, Mommy, he's scaring me! Mommy! What is he doing!" She yelled out to her mother. But the woman was
slowly dying. With the strenghth that the woman had left, she grabbed the knife out of her stomach and started
stabbing Skinny with it as she kicked shorty, pulled the baby away from him and handed it to her little Lorrie.


"Run baby, run!" The woman told her daughter.

The child escaped with her baby brother in her arms and the mother died a painful death. They helped
the little girl find a safe hiding place.




As Kari finished remembering all this, she solemnly said. "I think I'm ready to speak to the officer now."
