"Oh Stephen I can't wait to meet our new son. I bet he's adorable." Jackie said to him as they pulled up to the Brady home.
Hyde looked at her and smiled. He could see she was happy to meet Zack. However, he was very worried about her. Since becoming a PI, she somehow managed to get herself in trouble. Shawn Brady had called Hyde up a few weeks ago. He told him the situation with his family. CPS was coming after Bo and his father had become a 24-7 alcoholic. Through the past few weeks, Hyde and Shawn had worked on arrangements for Zack to be adopted by the Hyde's.
"Jackie please be careful while we are here. This maniac has killed seven people and I have to find out who it is before others are killed; that's why I'm taking over for Roman Brady. I need to concentrate on capturing the killer; I can't be watching you every second. I don't want to be watching you every second, but if you become a danger, I will watch you every second." Hyde said as they walked up to the Brady doorway.
"Stephen don't worry about me. I'll be perfectly fine." Jackie said to him.
"See that's what I'm worried about. I don't know what that means." Hyde said to her.
"Stephen don't you know me better than that I mean..."
"Can I help you?" Shawn said interrupting their conversation at the door.
"Oh yes, we're the Hyde's and you must be Shawn Brady. We talked over the phone." Hyde said to him.
"Oh yes! Come on in; Mr. Hyde. I have the adoption papers ready for you. I wasn't expecting you to be here until tomorrow. You can stay in the guest room for tonight. Zack's in bed right now. You can see him in the morning. I appreciate you buying the house and for adopting Zack. This is going to give me a chance to go to school and give my dad a chance to get better. He signed the papers saying that it was in Zack's best interest." Shawn said while the couple took a seat.
"Do you mind if I look around?" Jackie asked him.
"Sure go right ahead. The movers will be here in the morning." Shawn said to them.
Jackie smiled at Hyde and went upstairs. She didn't care what Shawn said; she had to see Zack right now. Jackie hadn't come all this way to wait until tomorrow to see Zack. She went upstairs into the little boys room. Jackie looked at the five year and smiled. He had light brown eyes and was laying in his Toy Story pajamas. Jackie walked all the way over to Zack's toy chest and noticed that there was a book sitting on top of the chest. She picked the book up; Animal Farm, she hadn't read that in years. She opened up the cover and screamed when she saw blood on the inside of the cover.
Shawn, Roman, and Hyde all heard her screaming. Hyde picked up his head and shuck it. They hadn't been here for twenty-four hours yet and she was already getting herself in trouble. All three of the men ran up the stairs and to Jackie. They found her in Zack's room. She was holding the bloody book in her hands and shaking. Hyde ran over to her and grabbed the book out of her hands.
"All the little piggies must die." Hyde read out loud.
"We found that same thing carved into Hope Brady's grave." Roman said to him.
"Has the killer left any other messages besides the book and the carving?" Hyde asked him.
"No, that's all we know of so far." Roman said to him.
"Okay, I need to talk to my wife for a moment please." Hyde said to Roman and Shawn.
Roman and Shawn went downstairs; Zack was still asleep and Hyde dragged Jakie out of Zack's room.
"What are you doing in here?" Hyde asked her.
"I was looking around." Jackie said to him.
"Jackie, please don't cause anymore trouble." Hyde pleaded with her.
"Alright fine calm down. Look at this Stephen. Why didn't they make a big deal out of it?" She asked him.
"I don't know why they didn't make a big deal out of it. I think they're stupid; that's why they have seven people dead. I need that book and I need to go somewhere right now." Hyde said to her.
"Where are you going?" Jackie asked him.
"I'm going to the cematery and your going back downstairs." Hyde said to her.
"Stephen, I think that I should go with you." Jackie stated.
"No you stay here. I have really bad feeling right now. Don't let any of them leave here at all until I get back." Stephen said to her.
"Why can't anybody leave here until you get back?" Jackie asked him.
"Because; I think the killer is here right now." Hyde said to her.
"What?! You're going to leave me here with a potential maniac. What's wrong with you? Are you trying to get me killed? That's what you're trying to do isn't it." She asked him.
"NO! I'm not trying to get you killed but if I'm right they going to strike tonight and I have to be ready. Don't let them leave." Hyde ordered her.
Jackie and Hyde went back downstairs where all the other guests were sitting and waiting for them. Hyde didn't stop to explain he just went out the front door and to the car. Jackie looked at them all and gave a nervous smile. When he gets back he better have a perfectly good explanation for leaving her with a potential psycho in the room.
"Well I think it's time that we all got going." Shawn said to them all.
They all got up and Jackie blocked the doorway from them.
"Mrs. Hyde what are you doing?" Roman asked her.
"Sit down. We all haven't gotten to know each other." Jackie said.
"Mrs. Hyde it's getting late and I think we could get to know each other tomorrow." Roman said to her.
"Well, Mr. Brady you'll be gone by tomorrow and my husband we'll be in charge and I already know him." Jackie said.
"Um...Mrs. Hyde where is your husband?" Roman asked her.
"He's out right now. He'll be back soon. I'm sure he would like to meet all of you." Jackie said.
"Why are you so sure he would like to get to know all of us?" Belle asked her.
"It's just the type of person he is. He wants to become an aqcuaintance to all he meets." Jackie said.
So the Hyde's are now here to try and catch me. You know I wish that Roman Brady was still captain of the force; he was stupid. This new guy however, doesn't seem as stupid as Roman. His wife I can tell is going to be a nussiance towards me. I have to figure out a way to get to Zack. He's the next the little piggy that has to go. I'm just going to continue down the list. You can't believe how hard it was for me to watch those pigs eat there own kind. I swear I've never seen so many little piggies go after ham before in my life. It makes me so sick. I'm starting to feel the pressure. The new little pig has been watching me like a hawk. I can feel her piercing eyes falling upon me. Why can't her stare go away? Why does she have to keep staring at me? I hate it when people stare at me. I hate it; she's going to make me go insane. I can't hold it in anymore I can't take it. I have to do something I have to get out of here. Why are they keeping me here? I'm not a pig; so why are they trapping me like one? They all have to go they all have to die. I have to get rid of the stares. Most importantly I have to get rid of her. She's and Zack have to go. I have to kill them both tonight. I have to kill them tonight.
Hyde walked across the cemetery to Hope Brady's grave. He had the book in one hand and a flashlight in the other. He hoped that Jackie didn't open her mouth to any of them. He didn't like leaving her there with a psycho but he had to. There was a feeling in the bottom of his stomach that wouldn't go away. He looked at the carving on Hope's grave and blood in the book. They both said the same thing. He looked at the book, Animal Farm, and tried to remember what the book was about. He remembered that the pigs had ordered a revolt against the humans and then the pigs set-up a communist government. As Hyde remembered this he thought back to the ending and realized that animals had come to realize that the pigs were as evil as the humans. In fact when the pigs looked into the window they saw human faces on the pigs. Hyde than realized what the message meant. The little piggies were humans they were like the pigs in the book but there had to be more. If the humans were pigs that meant that Hope, Alice, and all the rest were big pigs. If that were true then the little pigs could me kids. Oh no of course Zack; he was Hope's son and Shawn's brother; plus the book was found in his room so the book and the carving were pointing to him. If the killer was to strike tonight then the victim would be Zack next. Which meant that he left Jackie in danger. He ran back to the car to save Zack and Jackie.
Jackie wasn't able to keep everybody there. They left and Shawn went to bed. Jackie sat on the couch and waited for Hyde. While she was sitting there the lights in the house went out. Jackie sat there wondering what happened; behind her the killer stood with a rope in his hand.
