Part 8

Sept 16

The scary man dragged Jenny from the shed into yet another shed. He then

proceeded to try to force her to perform oral sex. Jenny remembered Julian

and the bees. She wouldn't cave. She just kept saying no. He beat her and

beat her. He stood above her, and picked up a belt and lashed into her, she

could feel her skin instantly redden and swell from each strike. And still

she said no. He tore open her shirt, and grabbed her in a very violating

way. Jenny suddenly understood the true meaning of the word violated. He

tore off her jeans, exposing her plain cotton bikini cut panties. She never

looked away. She wouldn't give him the satisfaction of humiliating her.

Eventually he dragged her back to the first shed. After that she slept.

Sept. 20

The Thorntons sat with the police detective who was in charge of their

daughter's case. Detective Robertson, a forty year old man with salt and

pepper hair, and keen dark eyes sat, with a grim look on his face. He was a

good cop. He had been on the force for nearly twenty years, but even he

couldn't fathom all the missing girl reports.

"I want to help you folks, but I think Jenny is just another runaway. I

honestly don't believe her to be one of the victims of "The Niner". She

doesn't fit the victim description. For the most part he's been kidnapping

girls much younger than Jenny. All of the girls have been 10 to 13 yrs. in

age. Jenny is twenty. She's much to old for this sicko."

"Are you certain?" Mrs Thornton asked, her voice shaking. This was just too

much, after everything they had been through when Jenny's friend Summer

disappeared, she just couldn't handle the thought of Jenny missing.

"Yes, mam." If not we'll know in three days, Detective Robertson thought to

himself. On the ninth day they would find the mangled tortured bodies of the

girls. And on September 23 Jenny would be missing nine days.

"Thank-you, for all your help." Said Mr. Thornton as he saw Detective

Robertson out.

Robertson felt happy, out of all the missing people reports that he had to

follow up today, this was the only one where the girl hadn't fallen victim

to "The Niner". Sadly, there had been no leads to finding the bastard who

was responsible for the crimes. It was if the monster simply stole the girls

away to another world.

He stepped into his car, turned the key, turned the radio on and an old

song from the 80s was playing, the dancey beat filling the car:

I've got to get to you first

Before they do

It's just a question of time

Before they lay their hands on you

And make you just like the rest

I've got to get to you first

It's just a question of time

Well now you're only fifteen

And you look good

I'll take you under my wing

Somebody should

They've persuasive ways

And you'll believe what they say

It's just a question of time

It's running out for you

It won't be long

Until you do

Exactly what they want you to

I can see them now Hanging around

To mess you up

To strip you down

And have their fun

With my little one

It's just a question of time

It's running out for you

It won't be long

Until you do

Exactly what they want you to

It won't be long

Until you do

Exactly what they want you to

Sometimes I don't blame them

For wanting you

You look good

And they need something to do

Until I look at you

And then I condemn them

I know my kind

What goes on in our minds

It's just a question of time

It should be better

It's just a question of time

It should be better with you

It's just a question of time

Part 9

Sept. 20

On September 16, it was 12 yr old Carrie Baker. On September 17, it was 14

yr old Darcella Brown. On September 18, it was 15 yr old Donna Sherat.

September 19, it was 13 yr old Laura Crits. They were both found dead, they

had been tortured and raped before being slowly killed.

Detective Robertson read over the "Missing Since" list again: September 11:

Corrin Marx age 13, September 12: Jacquline Berat age 12, September 13:

Robin Fisher age 10, September 14: Cathryn Moyer age 12, September 15: Jenny

Thornton age 20, September 16: Ellen Cohen age 13, September 17: Mary

Mchannon age 12, September 18: Susan Miller age 11, September 19: Rebecca

Ericson age 10.

Currently they were looking for Corrin Marx. He couldn't fool himself,

they would most likely find her dead unbreathing body, it was her ninth day

missing.

The Thornton girl worried him, she was the only girl to have disappeared on

September 15, but she was too old for the serial killer. Wasn't she? He

asked himself for the hundredth time that day, didn't he just assure her

parents she wasn't one of the monster's victim? There couldn't be some

other reason for the killer to want her was there? Perhaps, Ms. Jennifer

Thornton was the key to all the missing girls.

Sept 17

Jenny had just been through her second torture session. She lay on the

cold

cement floor staring with out seeing.

She remembered reading the headlines about the serial killer, but

all the victims were young, so much younger than herself. What did he want

with her? The two times he had beat her he had said very little, and had

never answered her when she asked him why. He had and insane glow in his

storm blue eyes, that frightened Jenny, and reminded her of the other Shadow

Men. She wasn't sure why his eyes frightened her so.

art 10

Julian wished he wished he could close his eyes. Hell, he'd settle for

looking away, he didn't want to hear this much less watch. He had thought

he'd suffered through everything his ancestors had to offer. He was wrong.

They had originally started by creating a body. Then torturing the body to

death, and then they'd make a new body and start the process all over. He

had been beaten, raped, strangled, drowned, bled; once they had ants eat his

eyes out. He thought the rape was worse, something about the sheer

violation. He hadn't thought there was anything left to do to him.

That's when the visions of Jenny started. It had been about two years

after

the last game. They would show him things. Horrible things, everything from

Jenny and Tom have mad passionate sex to her being tortured and raped. That

had been the worst.

He had survived it all, sanity intact, because he knew the reality. Which

was Jenny was happy and alive, enjoying life. Even if he couldn't share it

with her not even from the shadows. He had sacrificed himself for her. He

adored her, and it was worth it to him, because she was happy. But what if

she wasn't happy? What if?

It had been the 'what if?', that had slowly driven him insane.

Sept 18

Jenny was trying not to cry. It wouldn't do any good. Since she had been

here three girls had died. Today, a young girl named Donna had died.

It wasn't just the fact that he tortured them. It was the fact that he

purposely kept the girls alive, for nine days. I t was sick. And in five

more days she would die.
