[Peter] – From Peter's point of view

I wonder what happened! What happened last night? The questions flouted into my mind as I began to wake up. Why does my leg hurt?

"You're a hard one to find!" I opened my eyes to only be blinded by the white light in my hospital room; standing above me was Dr. Megan Hunt. She was sporting concerned eyes and wearing the same clothes as the night before. The memories began to rush back, missing the plane, crashing the car, pulling Megan out of the car and sitting by the side of the freezing road, than seeing my own bloody leg and being rushed to hospital so late at night.

"Why does my leg hurt Megan?" I asked with a broken tired voice

"It got cut when you got out of the car yesterday; you caught it on a piece of metal from the door. How are you feeling?"

"Fine, just tired, are you alright Megan, you look terrible!"

"thanks" she said sarcastically, her face than turned serious " there was another double murder last night, Dr. Rader called me this morning, she's on her way now to get us" I nodded and sat up to face her. As I did this, the white bordered door to the room flew open and a tall, thin lady walked confidently through it. I almost didn't recognise her, she had changed so much! It was Kat Rader!

For the last two days I had been imagining a slightly chubby, ginger haired sweet girl who was always well dressed and as he remembered has a cute little over-bit which would drive me mad as every time she was thinking, she would bite her bottom lip with it. She was pretty than, in a sweet, cute little nerdy girl way. I remember that for the last few months before the end of high school, when we were all getting ready for university and gap years, Kat met a really odd guy who went Princeton, he was clever, don't get me wrong, but he was not like any of the guys she had dated in high school. Kat followed him to Princeton and she did her medical degree whilst he studies physics and mathematics. She was now not the cute girl he remembered. She is beautiful! Her hair was longer, died a light brown colour with small streaks of red, dark brown, ginger, green, purple, black and blue at the top. Only a few strands were differently coloured though so it didn't look like she was one of the girls at middle school with rainbow hair. She had on dark blue ripped jeans and a kakis green top, covered with an orange and red tie dye coat that fell to her knees. A gold stud poked out of her nose and a big green loop covered the side of her lip, a chain fell from the top of her ear to here lob which was joined with two black studs. Despite her different appearance, there was that old glint in her eye that she always had when she was about to make fun of my miss fortune. It was the same look that was there when I broke my arm after falling off my bike, when I came to school with braces or when I got a REALLY bad mark in a test. Both ladies pulled up chairs by the side of the bed, Megan on the left and Kat on the right.

"You'd better get fixed quickly; murder no. 4's stinking out my morgue!"

"Gee, sorry Kat, I was too busy trying to save Megan from a crashed rental car and... hang on, number 4, but it's not a Friday?" I looked at Kat with confusion and the glint in her eye left and gave way to a more serious look which confirmed what I was trying to say. That another two people had been murdered late last night.

"Here's the file" Kat hands the case file over to Megan who looks at it and then at me.

"That's nasty! Any clues as to who it might be?"

"So far, we've found no connection between the victims and there is no D.N.A. on the bodies to lead us anywhere, but I'm still looking encase I missed something.

"Where were they killed?" I finally said trying to feel like part of the conversation between the two scientists.

"At the family home like the others, oh wait, you might know this one, recognize the mum?" Katherine handed me the case file showing a picture of the two victims faces. One was Marie Heldershot!

"Marry hellie?"

"Same one!" Kat looked at me with a slight smile of satisfaction that not even sane morality could hide. Both of us hated Marie! She was the school bully and she always homed in on us, me cause of the braces and Kat just because they could. Katherine hated her a lot more than I did due to how they bullied her. For me it was just calling names, and once I started to hold my own against her and the other 'cool' kids they left me alone, but for Kat, she was truly evil! Once Katherine came into physics crying with a blood arm because Marie cut it a nail file. Katherine had a scar on her neck where she Claude her in a fight after school and she always had bruises after Marie would slap her for speaking.

All the way through high school Marie Heldershot had been the prom queen in waiting. She was the beauty queen, covered head to toe in make-up and fake breasts to make all the guys like her. Once one of her boy friends- Dave Marrow- broke my nose just because I said I didn't fancy her. How could I when she hurt Katherine like that and made nearly half the people in our form hate their life for around 3 years! Her mum had pushed her into beauty pageants from the age of 0 and it made her the cold, glamour puss that I can remember her as. I couldn't say that I was distraught but no-body deserved to be murdered along with their daughter in their own home. However I knew that Katherine was still very bitter about what happened. I could tell from the look in her eyes when she gave me the file. No matter who was on her slab though all three of us knew that this was going to be a hard case to crack. Who would want to kill and mother and daughter who seemed to be almost completely innocent compared to some of the victims we have seen.

I looked up from the case file and looked at Kat who was picking at her nails like she always did when she was waiting, And at Megan who was on her phone, probably answering a text from her daughter Lacey. I than turned my attention back to Katherine, she must have felt me about to talk to her as she looked up at me with a questioning look.

"How long do you two think it would take me to get out of here?" from this question Kat put on her all famous thinking face and looked at Megan to get an idea of the most accurate answer. Megan also looked deep in thought. After a few seconds of quiet contemplation Megan looked up at me,

"Maybe late to-morrow morning, does that sound right?" Megan addressed the question to Kat, who nodded in acceptance, "to-morrow it is than" I nodded to them. As soon as I said this Megan took the case file out of my hand and read it carefully. "Do you want me to come down to the morgue and take a look at the older bodies?" Megan asked Katherine who answered with a nod and began looking in her bag. After a few seconds she pulled out a red key ring sported an old fashioned car key. Great, we get a hospital hire car, dodgier cars and bigger bills.

"I'll be round to see you in the morning, try not to get into too much trouble!" Megan joked as she stood up patting my arm at the same time. When she was fully standing I grabbed her hand making her turn round and face me.

"Come on, not even a feel better hug?" I smiled as she gave me a friendly hug. Just before I pulled away she gripped a little tighter, "thank you, for getting me out of the car, you're my hero!" Megan placed a small kiss on my cheek before she stood up. We both exchanged smiles as she got all of her things together. Katherine than took my hand and gave me a small get better hug.

"Ok, I'm off to go find my mum, if she's still here" Katherine picked up her bag and began to walk away, than the penny dropped, "you're mum... but isn't' she..." I was totally confused, and I knew I looked probably more confused than I was, Kat smiled at me, "I know, I'm confused too." With those two simple sentences she walked out of the door and down the hall. I looked back at Megan whose expression quickly changed from concern to the more than famous girl gossip look, great, Megan was a pro at this, here comes the boredom!

"So you two used to go to school together?"

"Yes"

"And you were... friends?"

"Yes"

"Just friends?" the smile on Megan's face grew bigger and bigger after each question

"And you two never dated?"

"No, we didn't" I was starting to get annoyed at her question "aren't you meant to be leaving Dr. Hunt?"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm going!"

"See you to-morrow?" I questioned as she turned to leave

"to-morrow" she said sharply as she through her hand over her shoulder to say good-bye.

With both the women gone, the room suddenly felt very quiet, the only thing to interest me were my thoughts. And one thought crept into my mind again and again, "my hero" "you're my hero" I smiled at the thought of finally being someone's hero; it was a thought that hardly ever came into my mind. My face began to burn, my cheek to be specific. I lifted my hand over to the side of my left cheek just above my neck; it was hot with beads of sweat forming on my skin. As I thought about what Megan had said the rest of my face began to blush. "My hero, you're my hero"
