Hi their how may I help you officers were actully in the middle of our dinner just now and also waiting on Sturt Maccormick a friend of mine I have his kids here said Randy looking at the cops

Well Mr Marsh is it were looking for a Kennith and Karen McCormick but if you and your wife could be their for thr children that is even better as their going to need you both the cop said as Randy let the 2 men in

Officer can you please tell me what's going on are the kids in trouble as they have been here all day with my own son they were let out of school early today so my wife picked them up as they were given time off as they all knew and were friends with the. Stotch boy that was killed and the other guy Garrison that was their teacher once Randy said

Mr Marsh no the children arnt in any trouble. Far from it the reason why were both here is becouse the children's father has been found dead killed like the others apparently what happend was he'd parked his truck and went to the lochal bar for a drink but becouse of the curfew it was now closed it closed early as the owners are scared and he must have met the killer as his body was found in a nearby back alleyway and he wasent a pretty sight I'm so sorry Mr Marsh the cop said

Fuck sake shit what about his older son and his wife Randy asked panicking

The older boy a Kevin Mccormic is with his girlfriend and her family their safe and we have an officer with his wife now she is safe too the cop said as they came into the lounge to talk to the others

Randy what's going on asked Sharon on seeing the 2 cops

Stuarts dead murderd like the others sadly apparently he'd gone for a drink after work before coming here but cos of the curfew and being scared the bar owners shut up the place early so Stuart left and then before he could make it back to his truck well he met the killer and well you can guess the rest Randy said with a shrug

Oh dear God poor Kenny and Karen gasped Sharon as she went into the lounge not shure what to tell Kenny or Karen and how they'd take the news

Huh what's going on am I in trouble asked Kenny as karen ran over to Kenny who put a protective arm around her as she was scared incase the cops were going to arrest Kenny and take him to jail

No soon your not infact far from it now why don't we all take a seat said the cop smiling at Kenny and Karen who were confused

Okay so what's going on officer Kenny here is my best friend and he's been with me all day and he's been behaving we both have Stan said

No as I said no one is in trouble far from it son now Kenneth is the cop said smiling at the blond boy

Kenny please everyone. Calls me Kenny or Ken iv not been called Kenneth in years but yeah I guess that is my full name Kenny said

Okay then we will call you Kenny and I take it that you are Karen the cop said as Karen nodded

Now you guys I'm afraid I have some bad news for you both your dad won't be picking you up today nor the cop began but got cut off

Oh God sake has he been done for drunk driving again stupid asshole began Kenny. but Sharon cut him off

Kids I'm afraid that your dad is dead I'm so sorry said Sharon softly shocking both kids who went quiet and also Stan was shocked too

Your dad was killed today by the killer who killed your friend Butters and were still looking for who ever is responsible but don't worry your brother is safe with his girlfriend and her family and your mom is at home with one of our female officers and a neighbour is coming to spend some time with her also we will take you too her as she is going to need you both the cop gently said as Kenny nodded quietly

Oh dude I'm so so sorry said Stan as he gave shocked Kenny a hug and then he hugged Karen but amazingly both kids didn't cry as they got their things and left Kenny only waved to Stan who stood at the window watching his friend sit in the back of the cop car next to Karen

Wow what a turn up Stuart dead also did you notice something they didn't even cry I thought they'd had been upset said Randy who also watched the McCormick kids leave

Well they were never really close to their dad and he never showed any love towards them only if he was made to they were much closer to their mom Stan said still a bit shocked at hearing the news

Stan called Kenny later on that night as he was worried for his friend but Kenny said that he was fine Karen cried for a bit but when Kenny said I really don't give a fuck if the assholes dead that did seem a bit cold hearted and Kenny seemed to be more upset over Butters than His own father Stan thought

Stan also seen a light on in Kyle's window go on but his Curtains were tightly closed and also Stan wondered how Kyle was doing and if he was getting any better he must be when he let the twins in but it was way too late now to visit Kyle Stan made up his mind he'd visit his former friend in the morning and hopefully they'd try and patch up their friendship as Stan missed Kyle so he remaind kneeling on his bed watching Kyle"s window from his own for a bit but the light went out about 20 minutes later and also he seen Kyle"s dad near the car trunk and acting strangely but he couldn't really see just that the mad had 4 trash bags he must be taking them to the towns dump or to the recycle centre so Stan thought no more about it

Mean while at Craig's place he was in his room too cleaning out Stripe his elderly guinea pig who sat on his bed watching everything whist Craig sat on the floor surrounded by Stripe's things

Their I won't be long now don't worry now Stripe your cage will be finished soon and I got some nice clean bedding left that will do you till tomorrow and when mom takes us to the mall I will get you some more bedding and some treats too said Craig Standing up to go and get the fresh bedding but he couldn't see it anywhere in his room where he normally kept the bedding and other things Stripe needed as she lived in Craig's room

Hmm that's odd wonder where that bedding went said Craig searching his room as Stripe sat on his bed watching him

Mom have you seen the guinea pig bedding I had half a bag left and I can't find it Craig yelled whist hanging over the banister as he couldn't even be bothered to go downstairs to speak to his mom

Is it not in your room beside the food and that his mom shouted from the kitchen

Nope just the food and some of her treats but no bedding I can't find it and searched everywhere Craig yelled going back I to his room to look for the bedding again but he had no idea where it could have vanished to then an idea hit him hard

Ruby had got a new pet Hamster a couple of weeks ago and hamsters needed bedding too so knowing Ruby was downstairs watching tv and chatting to dad Craig took off hogs shoes and tip toed into Ruby's room and looked around the pink palace it seemed till he seen what he was looking for

On a spare desk next to Ruby's laptop and a large pink poodle teddy and sure enough under that desk was spare Hamster food some toys for the little animal and what was left of the bedding but not enough for a large cage like stripes cage

That little bitch I might have known God damn it Craig muttered looking at the tiny brown and white fluffy Hamster that was sleeping all cosy in his Guinea pigs bedding

Mom mom yelled Craig taking what was in the bag and running down the stairs

Im in the kitchen sweetie the woman yelled as she heard Craig thump down the stairs as he was heavy on his feet and sometimes it was like an elephant heading up and down the stairs and the light would shake yet Craig was a thin boy

Mom we need to go out to the pet store now Ruby has used up all of Stripe's bedding on her new Hamster and Stripe has none now said Craig

Darling you know well we can't because of the curfew his mom said as she dried the dishes

Mom the curfew affects you if your on foot we can easly go by car and we will be okay and also their is a pet store in town that is open we don't have to go to the one at the mall and you can sit outside in the car and wait for me I won't be long just run in get what I need and run out then home quick only be like 5 minutes maybe 10 at the most their and back and stripe will be happy otherwise she has no bedding tonight and don't suggest toilet paper as shell eat that Craig said as his mom sighed deeply

Thats that lil chappy done so will Craig's mom take him to get bedding or not next chappy up V. Soon so enjoy
