Now Your Nightmare Comes to Life

Sixteen

Watching Kayden laying there helpless like that tore at my heart. I have seen many crime scenes working in the FBI that were terrible and I barely flinched but sitting here staring at this boy who I’ve come to love and think of as my own broke my heart. I would have fallen to the floor if Zack and Brian hadn’t caught me “Jeez, you’re a tough girl but I’ve never seen you like this. So weak and helpless.” Brian said smirking trying to piss me off knowing that in some twisted way that would make me feel better. “Shut up Brian, I saw your sorry ass crying earlier.” I smirked knowing the only other person that has seen Brian cry was Blaire, and he wanted to keep it that way. I felt Zack’s strong hands grab my arms and hold me steady, I would never admit this aloud but I felt so safe when he was near and I just wanted to fall into his arms when he touched me and when he kissed me, I felt as if nothing else mattered, but those emotions were dangerous, consuming and would destroy the very wall I worked so hard to keep standing. My phone buzzed from the reminder I had set earlier, “Sorry I gotta go.” I point at Brian “I’m warning you now, if things keep getting worse I’m gunna have to step in. I don’t want to do that Brian.” I say “I understand.” He says quite coldly. I run to get out to my car quickly when I suddenly realize something. Zack drove me here, “Shit!” I say as I whip out my cell phone to call him when I see my battery is dead. “AH! Damn it! This is what I get for letting myself get swept away and I lose focus...” I say as I sit on the curb. “I could go see what time the buses run…” I ponder on that thought when I hear footsteps behind me.
“Hey, you need a ride?” Jimmy said as he threw on his jacket exiting the hospital. “That would be wonderful…as long as you don’t start yelling at random people on the street as we ride by again.” I say trying not to laugh “Hey I was drunk! And you can’t hold that over me forever.” He said laughing as we walked to his car. “Hey thanks again for the ride I owe you one!” I say as I pull my seatbelt over. “Actually there is one thing…” he said looking nervous. “What?” he’s probably gunna ask me to be the driver next time he goes drinking he looks like he’s deciding whether to ask or not, I look out the window to see where we’re at. “Up there is the building.” I point to the tall building up ahead “Got it.” He pulls into the lot and I get out “Thanks again jimmy! You saved me big time!” I say smiling “Anytime, a friend of Blaire’s is a friend of mine” he smiles then pulls away. I can’t help but notice he’s looking paler and skinnier, I wish he would stop using those drugs so much. I’ve never seen him do any but Blaire said he definitely does, I shake the thought out of my head “Kate is gunna be a demon if I don’t hurry…” I pause a moment to laugh about a private joke me and Blaire share about that. I head inside and prepare for another day.
“7 girls in the last 6 months have gone missing” Wells says, Andrew Wells is my boss basically, he covers what we are doing and keeps us all on track. Kate would be under him then Kim, Joseph and I are all on the same level but I’m the one next to Kate pretty much. That’s our team “3 out of the 7 that we have record of have been found” He says “Then why are we called in?” Kim asks “They were found dead” Joseph says looking through the file more “Exactly and their deaths aren’t as bad as how they were treated. See here” Wells pulls up some photos of the victims, the first one is blonde and is shot through the head executioner style but her body is badly bruised and cut and she is missing a few fingers, I cringe slightly because her eyes are stapled open “Oh god…Did anyone identify her?” I ask “No only the other two of the three victims have been.” Wells says “The other two look around the same age as the first victim though, around 23 were guessing and they all have a smaller frame. But the last two…” Wells starts to say when Joseph buts in “The last two victims hair were blonde but were dyed black.” I look puzzled “Why kidnap 2 blondes then dye their hair when they could have easily kidnapped 2 black haired girls?” I ask “That’s what we’re trying to figure out. This guy isn’t going to be hard to profile since he seems to have a particular taste” Kate says “Guys.” I input and they look at me “What?” Kim says “It’s only logical to believe there are more than one unsub because controlling 2 girls would be hard enough but 6 at one point would almost be impossible, plus” I point at the first victim “She looks like she put up one hell of a fight with her attackers.” “She’s got a point. That would make more sense.” Joseph says to us “Alright, we’ll keep that possibility open until we find out more, that’s all for now. Each has a file of things they need to look into. Kim gets ready for a press conference. We need to warn women of men who look around the age of 20-30 years, he’s young enough to handle these women but smart enough to lure them away.” Wells says “Most of these women were prostitutes. We should warn those women most.” Kim comments “Are we good here?” my phone buzzed and I take a quick look at who the txt is from
From: Brian
She’s gone! I can’t find her anywhere!!
I literally felt my heart stop. “Oh god no…” I mutter “What is it Vlad?” Kate says as her and Joseph help me sit down “I know who the next victim is…Its Blaire. Blaire Jane Green…” they all stare at me in shock as we start to hurry. This son of a bitch is gunna pay for this.
