Shane knocked on the door again. He knew she was home. She had to be.
Where else could she go? She had no friends besides him.
"Open up!" Shane screamed and pounded on the door. He was about to say fuck it and just open the door. Shane tried to open the door but it was locked.
"Come fucking on!" Shane screamed and kicked the door.
"Yeah Shane. Go ahead. Kick the door just like you kick her huh?" He thought. Shane shook his head. No he did not just think that. That was.something else. No! It was imaginary! He THOUGHT he heard it but he really didn't. He was about to turn and leave when the door slowly opened.
"What?" She asked and leaned her head against the door.. Her face was so pale she appeared white, her face was bruised and her eyes were red and puffy.
"Modesty I just wanted to talk."
"No! No more talking! You had me questioned Shane? I can't believe you! Ok I may have done some mean stuff to you but that's only when you did something bad to me! Plus you're a man! You're an ADULT! Shayleen's a baby. I would never harm a baby! Give me SOME credit please!"
"Not even my baby? A child Nidia and I had?" Shane asked sweetly. Modesty glared at him then stormed into the house. Shane followed her then gently shut the door.
"You wouldn't do it out of JEALOUSY? Jealousy that Nidia and I had something that you and I could never have?"
"Stop it Shane!" Modesty screamed and covered her ears.
"No. Why should I stop? Because you might admit to it?"
"No. There's nothing to admit. I didn't do it."
"Will you just admit you had the perfect motive and you could have had the perfect plan?"
"Ok. I could have had the perfect motive and the perfect set up. If I did it which I DID NOT!"
"True. If you did it you would have gotten away with it."
"Oh really?"
"Yes."
"Why is that?"
"You're smart and such a perfectionist. You wouldn't let anything ruin you or your plan." Shane said sweetly. Modesty walked over to him and wrapped her arms around his waist. He put his arms on her shoulders. Modesty looked up and smiled.
"Can I tell you something Shane?" She asked in a sweet innocent voice.
"Sure." He answered.
"Well just to let you know," She said sweetly then her voice turned to vicious. "Flattering me is going to get you NOWHERE because I DIDN'T DO IT!" She screamed and stepped on his toe.
"Ow!" Shane yelled and bent over to grab his toe.
"Why don't you people listen to me?" Modesty asked. "And Shane you're not supposed to be here. Get out!" Modesty said even toned. There was a loud crash from upstairs. "Get out!" Modesty screamed and pushed Shane out of the door.
"No!" Shane yelled and pushed Modesty down, allowing him to run in the house.
Modesty jumped up and ran after Shane who was running up the stairs.
"No! Shane don't!" Modesty exclaimed and tried to push passed Shane but failed.
"Why? Is it Shayleen?" Shane asked. He stood in the hallway. He didn't know which room to go in. Modesty knew this and put her hands on her hips and smiled.
"Where to Shane?" She asked in a mocking voice. Shane looked around. Without saying anything he ran over to a door. He heard her gasp and knew he was at the right door. He opened it and ran inside with Modesty at his heels.
Shane stopped short. He couldn't believe what he seen.
"Modesty." He whispered. Modesty put her hands on her hips and made a face.
"Are you happy now Shane?" She asked.
"I never knew you had this in you. I never knew you could do this."
Shane looked around in amazement. He was surrounded by paintings that Modesty had done. They were so excellent Shane couldn't believe she did it. She never seemed like the artsy type.
"Yeah well three years locked up in a fucking mental house and you learn you have a lot of talents you never knew about." Modesty answered dryly and picked up some paint that had fallen off a shelf.
"That's what the noise was?" Shane asked. Modesty nodded.
"And the first time?" Shane asked.
"The paint." Modesty answered.
"Why does it fall?" Shane asked. Modesty pointed to an open window.
"The wind knocks them down but I need the window open to air out the room."
"Oh. Why did you always push me out of the house so fast?"
"I didn't want the paint to stain my rug."
"You should have a hardwood floor in here or tile." Shane suggested. Modesty nodded thoughtfully. Shane's ringing cell phone interrupted him.
"Hello?" He answered. Shane lost all color in his face. "No. No. No." He repeated over and over. "Ok I'm on my way." He said and hung up.
"What happened?" Modesty asked.
"They found Shayleen's body in the back of the woods near my house."
"Is she ok?" Modesty asked sincerely.
"She's breathing but barely. I have to go."
"Keep me updated?" Modesty asked as Shane ran down the stairs.
"Yes!" Shane yelled before he ran out the door.
~~~~~~~
Shane ran into the hospital. He quickly found Nidia, Jeff, Terri, Matt, Amy, and Shannon and ran over to them.
"Shane!" Nidia screamed and put her crying face on Shane's shoulder. Shane hugged her and stroked her hair.
"It's ok." Shane whispered even though he himself wasn't too sure.
"No Shane! You weren't there! You didn't see her!"
"I know Nidia baby I know."
"Shane she was laying in the fucking woods! She was under some leaves and dirt and stuff so we wouldn't find her! Shane she had dry blood all fucking over!" Nidia screamed now going insane. Shane gently grabbed her wrists.
"Shh Nidia. Be quiet. You'll get kicked out." Shane whispered. He was unable to form sentences because as hard as he tried not to, he was picturing Shayleen laying there.
"Mr. and Mrs. Helms?" A doctor asked.
"Yes?" Shane answered.
"We dusted Shayleen for fingerprints."
"And?" Shane asked. He was scared to find out the results.
