Chapter 4
I watch her walk in and I immediately tell a police officer to stay by the door and not let anyone in or out. I know Catherine's watching me I can feel her eyes burning holes through the back of my head.
"Sara don't you think your getting a little too involved with this kid" she says taking the lead as we walk down the hallway.
"So" I reply.
"Sorry, but I just don't want you to get hurt" she stops me.
"Since when do you care about me" I snap at her "right now I'm the only one that kid trusts and she needs somebody to trust." I snatch the evidence bags out of her hands and continue walking leaving her speechless standing in the middle of the hallway.
She quickly catches up to me. "So update me on the bodies" I try to break the silence that has enveloped us.
"Both were stabbed to death, the man multiple times and the girl twice. The mans name is Ryan Schmid, a junkie, he had several different narcotics in his blood. The girl hasn't been Id'd yet, a Jane Doe, she also showed signs of recently being raped" she answered no emotion in her voice.
I stop frozen to the spot as my mind thinks back to Sakura.
"Whats wrong?" I hear her ask.
"Sakura, she's the Jane Doe's little sister" I answer her. I immediately panic. If her sister was raped theres a good chance that Sakura could have been too.
"Sara don't think like that" Catherine says as if she knows what I'm thinking. We walk the last steps towards Greg's lab and drop the DNA evidence off. We then head back to the interrogation room that I left Sakura in. Upon entering Sakura immediately attaches herself to my leg. Catherine enters behind me and I see her trying to suppress a laugh when she sees Sakura. I glare at her which immediately shuts her up.
We immediately get down to business after that.
"Okay Sakura I need you to tell me what happened the night that your sister died" I ask her. Shes sitting across from me and Catherine and I can see the fear in her eyes but she calmy starts answering my question.
"My sister, Kyra, and I were looking for something to eat, we had been living off scraps for about a week now. She was mad because I kept complaining that I was hungry" Sakura paused guilt written all over her face "But I wouldn't stop complaining. That's when I saw him…" Sakura paused.
"A man…he lunged out of the shadows and tried to grab us. My sister grabbed my hand and we ran. But we were cornered in alley. She put me in a dumpster and told me to stay there and that she wouldn't let anything happen to me, then closed the lid. Darkness was all around me, but I heard voices. My sisters and…the mans, they were arguing. I heard screaming and then…silence" Sakura looked down at her hands.
"I jumped out and saw him standing over my sisters body, she wasn't moving. I'm not sure what happened next but I remember feeling an uncontrollable rage and suddenly I was on him stabing him. Even after he stopped moving I kept stabbing until I was tired. I crawled over to my sister and shook her but she wouldn't wake up. So I went back to the dumpster and hoped that she would wake up and come back for me, but she never did. She promised she would be back for me" Sakura looked back up her eyes watery "did I do something wrong."
Sara and Catherine both looked at each other searching for an answer to Sakura's question.
"No honey, you didn't" Catherine finally answered.
Sakura let out a sigh. "What are you going to do with me"
"Nothing right now, so just sit tight" I answer getting up to leave, Catherine follows me. Once outside I turn to Catherine.
"Catherine there has to be more to that story, I mean where the hell did these two kids come from."
"I can help you with that" Greg cuts in.
Thank you all so so much for the reviews, I love them all :-P
