Just like to say, I will have more chapters up as soon as I can. However, stuff has been happening recently and I really have had no time (I know I keep saying this) but I promise more to come! Keep reading and reviewing!
Reflections – Chapter 5
"I was walking home. I'd just finished my shift at the restaurant and I was making my way to the bus stop. It was just across the road from my work, but when I got there, um, some woman – Maggie I think she said her name was – told me that there'd been a crash somewhere in the city. She said it was pretty bad. I guess you guys already know about that, obviously. Uh…She said that all the…all the busses were either gonna be late or were off the road so…so I could be waiting a while. And of course, stupid, impatient me decided to walk home through the park. I guess it being dark should have dissuaded me but I was so tired. So tired…"
"When I got the park it was starting to get colder so I wrapped my long, navy blue coat around me to stave off the bitter wind. The park was scary erm….scary like..like when you walk along the street at night and feel like someone's following you. That kind of scary. So I walked a bit faster, but I had heels on and it was hard to see. I wanted to call someone, but my phone's battery had died and I'd forgot to charge it. I wish I had now."
"It was once I was about almost near the other side of the park that it…it um…it happened. I could see the gates. I was almost there when…when I felt…I felt a, uh, a hand on my back. I turned around and this man, this hooded man thrust a gun in my face. He uh…he said that…he said that if I didn't go with him then…….then he'd shoot me dead. Right there. I was so scared but I went with him. I thought 'at least if I go, there's a chance I can get away, y'know?' But he wasn't letting me escape. He had the gun at my back and told me to walk behind a set of trees in the middle of that bit in the park. The bit with the bench and the flower bed. Near the gates. There. Then he…he hit me on the back of the head with the gun. At least, I think he did. It was, uh, it hurt and…and my eyes went blurry. My vision. I couldn't see well and then….and then……"
"After, he just calmly walked away, running when he heard me scream. But I guess nobody saw him. I stopped screaming because I was scared he'd come back, so I pulled myself up and fixed myself. I was crying, it really hurt. Standing up, my legs were really shaky, I thought I was going to fall over. I stumbled across to the path and out of the park, then walked the few streets to my house. I didn't have enough money for a taxi. I know. I just didn't have enough. I was scared and by the time I got home, I was sick in the kitchen. I didn't sleep last night and…..and when I saw the appeal on the news I…well I'm here. Inspector? I need help. Can you help me?"
