Detective Roche sat outside in the waiting room. She was lucky that someone had found her in time. It looked as though she would be off the case for good, especially when the doctors were still unsure if she would make it out of recovery in one piece. Kayla, the cheerleader, had been up in surgery for four hours. Doctors were unsure if she was going to make it through the night.
Roche hated the smell of hospitals. The smell reminded him of that gross cough medicine his mother use to make him take. He had been in hospital similar to this one in Madison plenty of times. He hated the Madison hospital; he always went there for the same exact reason-to visit the coroner. He was a homicide detective and that meant examining the bodies, writing reports, and investigating the crime.
Now he had an even bigger problem than before, catching a cold blooded killer was not going to be easy. In fact, he had no big substantial leads to go on other than the figure was tall and wearing a baseball cap. Only one person had seen the killer leave and that was the high school doped up janitor. No one else had seen or heard anything. It was like the person never existed. Why would someone want to attack a high school cheerleader and then come back and try to kill Reese? It was obvious that who ever it was, they were definitely trying to cover their tracks; but why? Why go to all the trouble of getting caught.
Then it dawned on him. The story that Reese had told him about the cheerleaders and the little prostitution operation going on; someone didn't want anyone to know what was going on. This wasn't just a person trying to get even with Kayla; this was someone trying the cover their tracks. Whoever attacked Kayla, was the same person that killed Kelso and attacked Reese. Reese was the only person who knew the story; he also knew.
Suddenly the lights went out. Detective Roche stood up and looked around. The hall had become silent. No one was moving around; he called for one of the nurses but to no avail. There was a dead silence that filled the hall something wasn't right here at all. He got down on his hands and knees and started to crawl down the hall but he was immediately stopped by something large. He felt around and then realized that there was a body in the middle of the floor; it wasn't moving. He climbed over the person and continued to crawl but then he was stopped by another body in the middle of the floor. As he continued to crawl he realized that there was nothing but bodies on the ground. Detective Roche continued on but soon he had trouble breathing. He fell over in and was incomplete pain. He couldn't breath; he soon lost total consciousness and passed out.
Red and Kitty were sitting in the living room watching TV when the news broke into the middle of the show. Red put his eyes up in the air while Kitty stared at the screen with surprise. Laurie came down the stairs and sat down next to her mother.
"I'm Morgan Johnson and I'm standing outside of the Point Place Hospital where twenty people were killed due to a gas leak. Amongst those killed was Detective Roche who was investigating Michael Kelso's death. The leak was said to be an accident and no charges are suspected to be made." The reporter said.
"Oh Red I can't believe this happened." Kitty said.
"I know Kitty." Red said.
"No, Red the strangest thing happened. One of the kids called me and told me that there was an emergency and I needed to come home immediately. So I took the rest of the day off; but when I got home nothing was wrong and the kids weren't here at all." Kitty said.
"So what are trying to say Kitty?" Red asked.
"Nothing; it's just weird that's all." She replied.
"Well, a lot of strange things have been going on lately. Kelso dying, that cheerleader getting shot, the detective getting killed, and then all those doctors, nurses, and patients getting killed." Red said.
"Yes but I hate to think that the kids are somehow involved in any of these killings." Kitty said.
"Kitty listen to me; the kids are not involved in any of the killings. Do you actually think any of them would be able to cause a gas leak in the hospital; there's no way any of them would be smart enough to figure out how to only cause a gas leak on one floor of the building." Red said.
"Well, what if they were that smart to do that?" Kitty asked them.
"Kitty, come one now. Eric can't even tell a screw driver from a wrench how's he suppose to know how to leak gas into only one part of a building?" Red asked back.
"I don't know but something strange is going on with them. Red I haven't found my knives yet." Kitty said.
"Oh Kitty you must have misplaced them by accident." Red said.
"No, Red I don't think I've misplaced them at all." Kitty said.
"Well, we'll look around for them tomorrow." Red said.
"I'm going to see what the kids are doing." Kitty said.
"Kitty, I know that you think the kids might have had something to do with it. Kitty if you think they could try to kill a girl and a detective and then go out of there way to leak gas into the hospital and kill the other detective, I think you should be careful then." Red said.
"Red don't worry; if they did have something to do with this, I'm sure they had no intent on hurting me. Otherwise, they would never have called me home." Kitty said.
Jackie woke-up screaming from another nightmare. The room was silent but the inside of Jackie's mind wasn't. All she could hear in her mind was Kayla's voice over and over; it was mocking her as it always had. She had gone into the locker room earlier that day. Jackie had decided to quit cheerleading for good. After everything that she had learned about her so called friends, Jackie decided that enough was enough. Just as she entered the locker room she heard someone screaming. She ran over to where the showers were found Kayla. Someone in a hat was tying her up to the railing while someone else stood over her. Jackie tried to turn around and leave but that someone saw her and grabbed her. He had knocked her unconscious and that was all she remembered except for one thing. She didn't know how she got back to Donna's.
"Jackie." Donna said peeping into the room.
"Yeah Donna." Jackie replied.
"I was wondering if you were alright." Donna asked.
"Why wouldn't I be?" Jackie asked.
"I don't know; you just look like you were hurt or something." Donna said.
"Donna I was at school today and I think I fell." Jackie said.
"Oh yeah; well, that's just too bad." Donna said.
"Yeah well, I fell unconscious. So how did I get home?" Jackie asked her.
"I don't know what you're talking about Jackie." Donna said.
"Oh bullshit, you know exactly what I'm talking about. Who hit me and who brought me home?" Jackie demanded to know.
"Listen Jackie, I really don't know who brought you home." Donna said.
"Oh there's Eric and Hyde now; if you won't tell me then I'll ask one of them then." Jackie said.
"Ask us what?" Eric asked.
"Which one of you assaulted Kayla today and which one of you brought me home?" Jackie said.
"We don't know what you are talking about." Eric responded.
"Tell me the truth." Jackie demanded again.
"Jackie, we really don't know." Hyde said.
"Are you serious?" She asked.
"YES!" The both shouted.
"Fine then." Jackie said.
But one of them was indeed lying.
