D.J's Pov:
My sister was asleep I figured it was safe to go use the bathroom figuring aunt Becky would wake up if anything happened now that I'm almost done washing my hands I feel better. Trying to keep it quick I pull out a paper towel drying my hands fast suddenly I hear Stephanie scream bolting out the door I see a hand dragging her around the corner outside the door. I run after her but it's no use shes disapeared falling to the ground in tears a nurse runs up with a cop asking me if I saw what direction he was headed I pointed. "I'm coming too" I say pulling myself up heading off with the nurse and cop. We check all over the floor a big squad of officers have the building secured to make sure who ever took her can't get out.
Was she even still alive? had he gotten out of the hospital with her?it has been nearly 4 hours since I last saw Stephanie, as we turn the corner "I think I hear something" I say distant muffled screams fill my ears in the middle of the hallway is a storage closet. The door is locked I hear a smacking noise and crying it's Steph I know it is the cop kicks in the door. My thoughts turn to even more horror as I see a gun pointed at her head he says if we move any closer hell shoot her before I can even stop to think the cop shoots a tazer gun. The mans body shakes onto the floor convulsing I run to Stephanie untying her pulling her up into my arms she cries hard gripping me she starts to scream "I'm going to die" my eyes meet hers "Stephanie please calm down your alright".
"Oh Steph I'm so sorry if I hadn't gone to use the bathroom none of this would of happened! this is all my fault" my head starts to spin I stare at the ground almost letting go of everything around me. "D.J Please!" Steph's plea snaps me back I pick her up instantly as shes about to hit the floor, carrying her into the elevator "Shh calm down its okay I got you Steph". My pulse was racing almost as fast as hers how could I have let that phycho near Steph again?! I pressed the button. She started to talk "D.J you can't help having to use the bathroom it's no more your fault than it is mine". Even if it wasn't my fault it still felt as if it was ""I was frightened of losing you again I love you so much Steph" "I love you too D.J please don't let them take me again". I feel her arms around me tight all I want to do is sit there and hug her letting her know she is loved.
Tears continue to drip off my face I bend my head down giving her a kiss on the forhead I love Steph so much the thought of anything else happening to her horrifies me. "I not going to let anything happen to you" I say trying to comfort her carrying her out of the elevator back to the hospital bed aunt Becky greets us. Steph notices Becky was drugged and gets even more upset. "Take it easy Steph your safe now there's a patrol officer stationed outside this room he won't get you again or any of us" I say. An officer comes in to talk to Steph and I by the time the officer leaves the room I'm hysterial "It's okay D.J" she tries to convince me."How can this be okay? the cop said you almost ended up in the hands of a killer known as 'the butcher' who's been cutting up girls leaving them a pile of knawed on bones!" the thought made me shutter.
I throw away her dirty tissue pulling her as tight as I can hugging her almost squeezing Steph "But that didn't happen to me the man didn't even get out of the hospital" she tries to ease my fear."He could of though, what if the other 2 men try to take you again I don't know what I'd do if..". She cuts me off "I'm scared too D.J but no matter what happens I've still got you" I give her another kiss on the forhead. Aunt Becky walks back in the door pain settles into the soft look in her eyes we are all in pain "Why are their so many sick people in the world?"I ask "I don't know honey but i hope this family doesn't run into any more of them". "For all we know theres some on the hospital waiting to strike right now!" "D.J don't think like that! we're going to get through this.." Becky almost seemed angry.
