Before I Sleep

Chapter 15 Finding Jason

STEPHEN'S POV

After the doctor came in to tell us how we lost Emily for a bit and how bad she has sores on her body. My poor niece having to live in this hell because of that bastard. Still no leads nothing. I sat there just praying for my niece to have more time with her baby, with us. We need her here. Life won't be the same with out her. She's our precious angel. I dont get it. How can something so awful happen to her, when never have she ever treated anyone less than. She always made everyone feel like family. Caught up in my own thoughts I almost didn't hear my phone going off. Hurrying up in answering and walking out of the room quickly, I got the news I wasn't expecting. Once I was done with the call I walked back in. "Eric i have to tell you something. I got a phone call and that bastard not only did this to Emily but 2 other females. Emily was his 1st victim and the youngest. He passed away 3 weeks ago." After I told him this all Eric did was get up and walked out of the room. We had to let him have his time alone. I cant imagine how he's feeling right now. All I can do is be here for them. Unlocking my phone I dialed my boss. He knows what's been going on. After the second ring he answered. "Hey boss, I'm going to have to put in my paperwork for time off for family leave." "Dont worry, take as long as you need. Your position will be here when you can return." With that I thanked him and hung up. I heard my niece starting to wake up. Kenneth and I got up quickly from our seats and went up to her. That's when I noticed some sores peaking out of her gown. Down her side. They looked so painful. I wanted to punch that fucker so hard but how when he's already rotting away 6ft. In the ground. Trying my hardest to ignore it. I softly called her name. She slowly opened her eyes.
