Chapter 2

Cold case

"Where loosing him!"

"SHOCK HIM!"

"NO! The chip in his head you'll kill him!….. Reynard!"

3 years have past since the incident with Vendelin. His son now named "Reynard" has been in terrible health and this is the worst crisis yet. I called of an ambulance to see if they knew what was going on with him but they only seemed to make it worse for him.

"Daddy? Cough dad!"

"I'm right here son your going to be ok…. I promise!"

"I'm sorry sir but you'll have to move away from the boy while we help him" A doctor said while pushing him out the door.

"Mr Shern?" a voise came from behind

"y..yes I'm Mr Shern, Cas Shern", he said with a tear in his eye looking around for the person that called him. It was a policewoman.

"Can you come with me I need to ask you a few questions?" said the policewoman in a polite and smiley fashion "Right this way"

They entered a privet waiting room and sat down one of the lights was flashing has if it was just to go out.

"What is this about?" Cas asked, "What do you want with me?"

The policewoman's face was no longer cheerful, it was more serious and her eyes did not look at Cas, she flipped open a notebook. And started to write something. Cas became agitated and wanted to know what she was writing. Before Cas could speak again the policewoman looked up.

"Mr Shern? Can I ask you what you sons name is?" she said this as she knew the answer but wanted to here Cas answer it.

"His name?.. It's Reynard," he said with hesitation and stopping himself from saying anymore

"Reynard Shern…" she said with a sarcastic tone, writing the name down in the notebook.

"No!… Reynard Ashcroft!" Cas sighed "Reynard Ashcroft…."

The policewoman smiled "Oh! So he's not your real son? Care to tell me why?"

Cas pulsed he didn't want to tell her anything, but he had no chose, he had to talk.

"He…"

As Cas began to talk and man burst through the doors "PC ROSE!" the man cried "There's a problem… one of the doctors! He's!"

Pc Rose looked up in confusion; she couldn't believe what was being told to her. She got up out the seat and set the notebook on the table and darted out the room only to say, "Don't move! I'm not finished with you!"

The room fell silent and Cas found his chance to look at what was in the notebook.

It read "Murder case on Cas Shern". Cas was confused "Murder case" who had he killed? Then he realised this could be what happened with Vendelin Ashcroft. We Cas a witness or a suspect? Cas panicked and he wanted to get out of here as he got up a man entered the room the same man as before. "He must be a nurse" Cas thought

"Mr Shern" the man asked.

Cas nodded "My son?" he asked

"Don't worry he is stable and asking for you" the man smiled

Cas got up and followed the man out the room, he wondered what had happened to the Doctor the nurse previously yelled to the policewoman. They walked down the corridor and turned into the room where Reynard was taken. Cas looked in horror there was blood everywhere emergency staff cut in two and hanging from the lights, he looked around and there was still someone alive on the floor with there insides over going over the bed as if he'd fell off after being stabbed and ripped open. The nurse looked round at Cas and raised an eyebrow "Mr Shern? Mr Shern!" the nurse walked closer putting a hand on Cas's shoulder. Cas jumped and looked back at the man with a face excretion like "Don't you see that?" The nurse looked confused, Cas begin to look around again everything was clean no dead bodies no blood.

"Yes.. Sorry I'm just in shock after what happened with my son" Cas smiled

The nurse smiled back "This way please!" he suggested

They exited the roomed and turned into the ward there he saw Pc Rose handcuffing the doctor. The doctor was struggling and had blood round his mouth and hands his eyes looked blank and angry he was muttering something. A group of other medical staff were tending to the injured of the attack.

"DADDY!" a cheer called from a weak little voice "I want to go home…."

Cas sat down next to Reynard and gave him a hug "Then why don't we son there's no need for us to be in this place anymore"
