Stained Red

Chapter 12

Note- Thanks for all of the cool reviews you all rock.

Carter surveyed the room noticing a heavy breeze surrounding him. A chill ran down his spine. A shadow moved across the walls of the room. Carter followed the shadow's movements until he noticed a presence standing over him. He quickly turned his head and came face to face with the intruder.

Carter tried to get up but the man hovering over him gently pushed Carter's shoulders down "Its ok" he said. The voice was familiar; Carter searched his mind for an answer to who this could be.

"Who are you?" he asked in almost a whisper "I know your voice" he said. Carter closed his eyes tightly as he fought a wave of dizziness threatening to consume him. He opened his eyes and noticed the man was now seated beside him.

Mark entered the room "Hey Carter, are you alright? Officer Kent Peter and I still have a few questions for you; whenever you are done explaining this to Carter" Mark smiled warmly at Carter which helped him to relax more.

"I'm fine Dr. Greene. What happened?" Carter spoke softly and his eyes were full of confusion. Mark left the room leaving Officer Kent and Carter alone to talk. Carter stared up at the ceiling before focusing on the window; upon inspection he noticed that the window wasn't open but was shattered all over the desk. "What's going on?" he inquired looking back at Officer Kent.

"First of all we caught the man who did it and he is in custody; we have an I.D. on the man" He reached into his pocket and pulled out a pad of paper. "A Mr. Greg Harrison; does that name ring any bells?" Officer Kent retrieved a Pen from his shirt pocket and flipped through his note pad for a clean sheet.

Carter thought for a moment as he realized that the name did sound familiar. "Yeah" Carter said, but he kept thinking of why he knew that name. 'Greg Harrison' he thought in his head. 'Greg Harris... oh.... G.H.' his mind was spinning as the initials sparked his memory. "G.H." he said. After getting a confused look from Officer Kent Carter knew he should elaborate on the details. "He worked at my family's house; he left a few months ago. I saw him at the hospital a few weeks ago though... he had a bad cut to his hand I sutured it.... if it is him he will have a scar in the palm of his right hand"

"Ok I will look into that. The situation here is that, as I am sure you have noticed the window. Well a brick with a note was thrown through it. The note is what concerns us" he reached into his back pants pocket and brought out a piece of folded up paper; he handed the paper to Carter.

Carter reached to the other side of the bed and turned on a lamp. He pulled himself up to a sitting position with the help of Officer Kent. Carter cringed a bit as a sharp pain ran through his side. He unfolded the paper and read it out load.

"Dear John.... It's your old buddy Danny; I realized that you might not understand why all of this is happening. Well it is very simple less then a year ago you screwed up. Now that we are clear I am warning you that this will be your last day. Hey enjoy it I'll see you soon.... Danny" Carter flipped the paper over searching for more writing to help him understand. He handed the note back to Officer Kent "Now what?" he asked in a strong determined manner.

"Well since they know your location we will have to move you to a more confined and secluded area. We will be moving you in a few hours."

"Wait, just me?" Carter asked his voice weaker this time.

"Yes we will be keeping an eye on Dr. Greene and Dr. Benton here. You will go alone with me" Officer Kent got up to leave "Get more sleep I will fill you in more on the way to your new location" he placed his belongings and the note back into his various pockets and left the room.

Carter stared out the window as if expecting another brick to fly through it with a new message. He was uncertain of what was going to happen next and he hated the horrible feelings the situation gave him. In his gut he knew that this was only going to get worse, he only wished he could figure out how.
