Beth wasnât sure how long she remained there but it had to have been over an hour, two maybe. She had all but drained her inner well of tears before she lifted her head. Losing her mother was hard enough at her age but now her father? She sat across from him, staring, unsure of what to do, if anything at all. What now? Her entire world had revolved around her parents. She ran a hand over her face wanting to cry again but was unable to. All she felt was numb. Complete numbness.
She got up and left the room and searched for a blanket, sheet, tarp, anything she could use to cover their bodies. Once done, she went throughout the property and noticed that the three ATVs they owned were gone including the one her father used. In addition to this the storage room that held food had been cleared out. Every shelf including bottled water had been taken. She moved on to the next room that had climbing gear, tents, tarps, sleeping bags, water treatments, stoves, lighting, first aid, clothing, electronics and backpacks, it was all gone. Her father had poured his money into purchasing lots of gear so that anyone who didnât have enough money didnât go without.
Was this a robbery gone wrong?
The Christmas season was the only time of the year when her father and Helen were alone at the property. Had someone targeted it? Or were they an opportunist? No, it had to be something more. Her father would have gladly handed it all over to avoid a confrontation. He believed in staying alive, not fighting over items that could be replaced.
But what other reason would they have been killed?
Without answers, Beth did the only thing she could: leave and head back to town to inform the police. Like traveling the same road to work unconsciously and arriving at a destination without recollection of having driven there, Beth found herself standing outside the Ryerson Police Department with no memory of walking there. She entered the stone and wood building with an American flag flapping in the breeze to find concerned residents speaking to an officer at the front desk. They were grossly understaffed to handle something of this magnitude.
âVehicles. Internet. Power. Water. Cell phones. Nothing is working. I want to know what is being done?â an angry man yelled, slamming his fist against the counter.
âSir, we know about as much as you do right now. As you can appreciate, with the weather weâve been having and cruisers not working, our top priority right now is ensuring the safety of residents.â
She could have said something. Dropped the bombshell about her father being dead but she didnât. So overwhelmed by grief and shock, she stood at the back of the lobby watching as if in some trance state. Ahead of her was a long line of people wanting answers.
âIs it a terrorist attack?â
âMaâam. I donât know.â
âAnd what about power? My mother could die from this cold,â a woman yelled.
