Surpirse!
Ever since the accident there had been a horrible feeling that had set over the household. I hadn't been to see Liz and Rose yet, but I knew that they had been mangled badly. From what Kristi, Liz's mother, had said Liz has now hideously deformed looking. That in itself was a depressing thought, but worse than that she had went completely crazy. She had killed a nurse in the hospital and was now staying at some mental hospital near Medical Lake, WA. I guess they had put Rose and Justin in there as well. Considering how hard Liz had taken her face, I figured it must be pretty bad. She would probably be shunned for the rest of her life. It was probably better for her to be locked up anyway. She'd just get depressed more if she had to deal with being ugly.
"Jim, hey Jim!" a loud, but unmistakable voice whined through the door.
"What do you want Pip?" I said irritably as I opened the door.
Pip stood there with a distressed look on his face. His cheeks flushed from running across the house. I moved away from the door and sat back onto my bed.
"They've escaped!" Pip said excitedly. "Killed two more people on the way out and stole someone's car, they could be anywhere!"
"Are you fucking kidding me!" I shouted, a bit more loudly than I intended to.
"I'm serious dude. It's all over the news," he said a bit more calmly.
I grabbed the tv remote and turned to channel 4. Sure enough, three patients had escaped earlier in the day and there had been no sign of them since. Police were looking everywhere.
"This is some scary ass shit," Pip said, his bottom lip trembling slightly. "What if they are coming here?"
"I don't know." I replied as my door flew open and Greg, Liz's step-father, stood there wide eyed.
"I'm sure you've heard the news." Greg said much more calmly than he looked.
"Yeah, we have." I replied slowly.
"Then you know what must be done." Greg stated more than asked.
"What!" Pip blurted out.
"Come with me," he glanced over at Pip as he turned from the doorway. "Both of you. It is time."
